Jasmine's POVWhere was my husband to be?I was in my pure, beautiful wedding dress and felt ashamed in front of the priest's questioning eyes.Everyone was waiting for Jake to arrive with the rings he had claimed he wanted to pick up, but he never showed up, and the fear that he wasn't going to was beginning to taunt me."Ava, is there something I should know? The guests are beginning to get tired," the minister asked discreetly. No one needed to tell me; it had been over four hours. It was funny, especially since my stepmom seemed so calm, and surprisingly, Gwen, my step-sister, was absent.That's when Sarah gasped and brought my phone."Is that Jake?"Looking at her eyes, my heart fell before I took steps backward. "What is it saying, Sarah?" I heard my stepmom yell, and the others around her seemed to concur."Jake won't be coming here," she shakily said, gasps filling the hall; while still shaking, I snatched the phone from her hand and called him."Jasmine baby... Please don't t

Jasmine's POVI was dead, at least to everyone in this hall.Just roughly three years ago, I had been dumped at this alter, but here he was, marrying my sister after taking everything away from me.With a smirk on my face, I walked in just as the priest had said, "If anyone present knows of any reason why this couple should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace.""Who is that?""I can't remember seeing Gwen's friends looking this hot. The slit I had asked the designer to add was doing a perfect job of showing enough skin.My eyes met Jake, and I flashed a smile at him. "Who is she?" I could still hear, and seeing an audience, I decided to enjoy the attention, making sure my heels clicked well against the floor."Is she here to stop the wedding?" Someone whispered, causing my grin to widen. It was funny how these people cared more about nobody walking to her seat than about the wedding that was taking place."Could she be…" I blocked out those whispers as my eyes met a

Jasmine's POVWe arrived at the reception, where I overheard one of the gossip ladies whisper that it would go on until midnight. It was going well until Mr. Blackwood started to suspect me. He asked me questions I didn't want to answer without Jake or Gwen nearby. His sudden interest made me feel uncertain about my plan.He was hanging around me to keep me at arm's length. At first, I was sure it wouldn't be so hard to lure him, but judging by how he acted, I was beginning to doubt him."You didn't tell me how you got an invite?" he asked, pulling me out of my trance as I watched Jake and Gwen dance while praying one of them fall. His question was unexpected, and it took me off script.There was no way I was going to tell him Gwen had sent an invite to my burial ground, where she had mocked me for being six feet under while she was using Jake to climb the ladder and how much she was using out of my company's stock or a wedding that she had stolen... at least not now."Tell me why yo

Jasmine's POV “Jas…” his soft call pulled me back to the present.I don’t know how much I cried, but I did so in his arms; he didn’t judge me, nor did he say anything… he just held me in his arms and let me.“Do you want to get out of here or perhaps go in?” He asked, and I sniffed before answering, “Home?”“I was hoping you wouldn’t say home; you can’t let their words get to you… you are beautiful, and I don’t know how my stupid son could let go of you so easily, but leaving proves them right”.“What are you saying?”“You seemed to have grown a nerve, but it isn’t enough. You are my date tonight, so we’d go in, and you’d do your best to stay away from your sister,” he whispered.“Why?” I asked him as he wiped away the tears from my face with his face towel.“Why what, kitten?”“Your son…he did this, but you are helping me? You should be taking his side.” I asked, confused. Everything was going according to plan.Ignoring my question, he pulled me closer to him before whispering, “L

Jasmine's POV. "Have you lost your mind?" Mr. Blackwood stared at me with bulging eyes flickering with various emotions that made me realize that he was going through a lot of internal turmoil–the most prominent: shock! He probably hadn't heard something like this in his life. I was glad to see him in such a confused state. "It's a pleasure to see you stunned, Mr. Blackwood." He pinched the bridge of his nose as he tried to gain momentum. "Let's just say that this is remotely true, why the hell will you proposition me?" I smacked my lips cheekily, winking at him afterward. Men were often not accustomed to the fact that ladies were now taking charge of certain situations. "How is that a problem, darling?" He stared at me in shock and I couldn't help but burst into laughter. Pointing at his face with one finger, I smacked my second hand with the other. "My goodness, you make me laugh! You should see your face!" I laughed. He crossed his arms over each other while sho

Jasmine's POV.From the way his brows creased in confusion, I knew that I had an opening. It was now up to me to seize it with both hands or just keep staring at him without answering any questions. "What the hell do you mean by that?" "Exactly what I said, baby..." I drawled, smirking lightly. A flicker of emotions ran through his face causing me to chuckle softly. "That's the most ridiculous thing that I've ever heard. I know that you're cross with Jake which is understandable but spinning lies on him, is too low for even you don't you think?" He accused me. I sighed and rolled my eyes in frustration at the way he was handling things. I was sure that he was feeling a certain way but that didn't mean that I was lying. "You know what? Why don't you just call him and ask if I'm telling the truth or not before writing me off completely. We've come a long way." I drawled again, knowing that it would piss him off. It went accordingly. His eyes narrowed angrily at me and I chuckled.

Jasmine's POV. The sound of people talking animatedly woke me up and I groaned as I tried to understand what the hell was happening. I looked at the television and saw a few reporters arguing over the GDP and whatnot.I hissed, reached for my phone and unlocked it with my fingerprints. It was still a few minutes shy of noon. I had slept for so long. A good three hours. I forced myself to go into the bathroom and wash myself clean of the previous escapades. Who would have thought that I would proposition a man? Not just any man, my father in-law! Now that I thought about it, it sounded so weird to me and I was a bit worried for what this could mean. It wouldn't be an easy task convincing him to agree to my terms and conditions, seeing that he was probably straight-laced and would see this as a mess. I just wanted to get back at Jake but I wanted it to be in a way that he left expected. I knew that he would have been shaking in his boots after hearing this but I wished I was there t

Jasmine's POV. When I got downstairs I adjusted my sunshades so that I didn't get easily recognized. A bodyguard ushered me to the car waiting at the curb and I rolled my eyes when I saw a Lamborghini sitting prettily waiting for me. The driver opened the door as soon as I got closer and I walked in. Mr blackwood looked straight ahead, pretending not to see me, and I rolled my eyes again. If we were going to have a conversation where we had to team up he had to reduce his ego because it wasn't going to work for me. "Who thought that I'd see you again?" I inquired from him stylishly, acting like I didn't know he was angry or needed that information so badly. "Maxwell start the car." He ordered. I was happy hearing his voice, so I decided to tease him a bit by placing my arm on his thigh. A flicker in his gaze showed me that I was unto something. "Do you realize that this is inappropriate? You are not under any influence so I would not excuse your behavior." He sna

Jasmine's POV Now I was fuming! We appeared right before the elevator and I rolled my eyes angrily. I wasn't expecting that he would speak to me at least just yet. "Don't smile at anyone." "You're not my boss." I replied and he looked at me with a small smirk that would seem unnoticeable. "I am not but if we are going to venture into marriage, we need to set some ground rules." His eyes flashed with heat as he took a sweeping glance across me from head to toe. "What?" "Yeah... This is exactly what I imagined you to be like. It's not going to become a good business if we don't set some ground rules. I know that you're always ready to fight me and stuff like that, but this won't work if we don't do the right thing. I won't allow you be the boss, darling." The elevator dinged and I turned toward him. "you are kidding me right now." I muttered and he grinned at me, his eyes gleaming with an emotion that I couldn't place my finger on. "What the hell?" I repeated. "We d

Jasmine's POV My eyes widened in shock the instant I heard that. This wasn't what I expected at all, were they kidding me right now? This was balderdash! "I'm sorry but it seems like you guys are making a huge mistake." I butted in instantly. Mr Blackwood placed a hand on my arm to stop me from being annoyed but I shrugged it off, "which of his partners do you suggest should go?" I inquired from the man that kept staring at me keenly. If there was any reason whatsoever, then he had to make it plain before everyone. "I meant that, be all know that Donovan loves women. How else can we get to him except sending a lady whom I believe he would be interested in?" The man responded. I gazed at Mr Blackwood to understand how this was going to play out. If they thought I was going to risk my neck just to get them some information then they had another thing coming. "Gentlemen, I sincerely think that we all should calm down. It won't be easy dealing with Donovan especially now that
