Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ex-wife's Marriage Revenge : Kabanata 151 - Kabanata 160

152"That's a joke, right?" Lila said in disbelief. "You just don't want to share it with me. After all, you became The Mrs. Panther!" "I'm honest, Lila." Jasmine couldn't catch the jealousy lacing her voice. "Signing on a piece of paper isn't enough to say anything. Maybe after we exchange the vows.... Then I can tell you something. I promise I'll tell you how I feel after we exchange our vows.""I will wait." Lila tried not to sound stern. She brought Jasmine to the parlor and waited in the back on the couch as half a dozen makeup artists surrounded Jasmine. One of them worked on her hair, another on her nails, another on her eye makeup. All of them had something to work on on her body. Lila was watching her begrudgingly with a dark evil glint. Her lips were twisted and she scoffed silently at the jokes the artists made to make Jasmine less nervous. 'You're living my dream, Jasmine. Dressing up in a wedding gown that was supposed to be for me. Getting ready to marry the man I lo

154"How can I face her without looking at her like that girl who enjoyed my mother's love?" He slapped a lamp down the desk. The crashing noise boomed in the room and the pieces of glass scattered around. "She got the life I wanted. She had a mother that I didn't. She went to school happily and I couldn't. She had a mother staying in her bed until she fell asleep while I shivered on the floor." "But she was an orphan, Kyle. She didn't steal your life. Your mother adopted her. It's not her fault.""She was an orphan and yet I was the one who suffered. It's not her fault but she still enjoyed her childhood. What about me? I spent every moment in devastation!" Kyle hollered. He turned around while breathing noisily. Kyle tried to regain his control but it was futile. Everything Jasmine suffered in her marriage so far was blurred out by how she lived as a child, and in his mother's supervision. Falcon didn't want to interrupt him. Of course it was an emotionally draining moment for

156Jasmine was cutting the veggies while the butter melted in the pan. Well, it had been melting for quite a while now on a hot flame. Black smoke was rising from the pan and the butter had almost evaporated, leaving a black charred circular lining in the center of the pan. That's not all. A cake had been baking in the oven behind her. It had also become black from over baking. There was a cloud of gray smoke inside the oven. The timer needed to be stopped. But she was too lost in her thoughts to smell the burning smell or notice how the smoke thickened. The oven chimed loudly, insistently.Jasmine's hands worked on autopilot while her mind remained deep in thoughts. Even her eyes stared aimlessly in the air as though she was spelled to finish cooking in the kitchen. Jojo, who had gone out to receive a call, stopped with a jerk at the threshold of the kitchen. His pupils went double their size when he observed the smoke.... Emitting from the oven. "Jasmine!" He literally dashed i

158Like always, Kyle left it on read. He went back offline as if he didn't care. Jojo kind of suspected Jasmine's thinking wasn't really overthinking. "He didn't even reply. Any man would go crazy if his wife was called impure on the basis of her past. Heavens. I think Jasmine is right. Sir doesn't want her. Well then, I shouldn't bother about my text. If he didn't react to it, it means I'm not in trouble. Ah, it's raining!" Jojo stuffed his phone in his pocket and ran inside the house while a thunder clapped above him in the sky followed immediately by forked lightning. ***Kyle's office, He stared at the messages— particularly the last message Jojo with a muscle ticking at his jaw. Impure. Kyle glared at the word. He almost had an urge to call his chef and set him right. But again, the same realization... The same heart lacerating realization that Jasmine got the love he deserved as a child came to his awareness and he slapped his phone down. "I don't care about her breakdown

160When the morning arrived, Jasmine didn't come down for breakfast. It worried Jojo since they have been having their breakfasts together for the last two weeks. But he didn't go to her room to wake her up, assuming that she might have been awake all night. He let her sleep in. Hours passed in a jiffy and when Jasmine didn't come down in the afternoon, Jojo started worrying. "Should I go up?" He peered up the stairs from the hall before finally climbing the stairs. He came to Kyle's room and found Jasmine sleeping in the bed. He was slightly relieved to see her sleeping. However, when Jojo closed in on her, he noticed how yellowish she looked. "Jasmine?" Jojo touched a hand to her shoulder and his eyebrows jumped. She was burning. He immediately checked her forehead. It was hotter. His forehead creased as he covered her better and rushed down to get his phone. The first thing that came in his mind was to call Kyle over. "He's not going to come." Jojo said to himself furiously.
