Semua Bab The Payback Of A Woman Scorned : Bab 1 - Bab 10

Jasmine's Pov My head scrambled for ignore and move on or go find out—Well scratch that, because my curiosity won and now, I was already standing right outside the doctor's office window, staring a hole into the back of the man who looked so much like… “Really? Oh, poor lady…” the lady's voice that just walked in with the man dripped with pity. The doctor must have said something about me coming alone for prenatal checkups. “...but not with my Enoch. He's such a caring, devoted husband…” she continued proudly, but I couldn't hear the rest anymore. The words settled like a stone in my stomach, heavy enough to steal the air from my lungs. Caring.Devoted. Husband. Wait, husband? Enoch my husband, is her husband? And here with her? No, that's impossible. I mean, there are like a hundred Enochs in San Francisco, right? This… this has to be some sort of coincidence.It was, until the man spoke. “Yes, doctor. How's our baby? Please, I don't want anything to happen to her.” His tone

Jasmine's Pov. Enoch’s fist slammed against the table with a deafening crack. “How dare you accuse her? I told you to reflect on yourself. Apologize. Now, or face the consequences!”Something inside me snapped and the disbelief bled into ice. “Consequences? You should be the one afraid of the consequences of your actions!” Melody scoffed. “Afriad? Have you forgotten that he's now the leading tech master in the tech industry?”“Yes,” I said flatly, my voice sharp as glass. “You left him stranded at the altar and came back crawling the second you heard he's rich. I was the one who stood by him, when you disappeared and you dare lecture me about consequences?!”They looked surprised for a moment, then burst into a fit of laughter. “You stood by him? Don't make me laugh! You're nothing but a servant house wife who has never made a cent! You only have a roof over your miserable head because of Enoch. Face it, Jasmine, you need to wake up.” Melody sneered. I looked past her towards Enoc

Jasmine's Pov Derek placed his long index finger on the start button and the car came to life. He handed me an uncapped bottle of water, and then pressed on the accelerator. Putting on my safety belt, I took a sip before going through one of the many documents that I needed to go through. “So what's your call? Should I just start pulling out our collaboration with Star Tech company?” Derek asked before focusing his gaze on the road. The expression on my face scrunched up in mock confusion. “Sorry, remind me what Star Tech is again?” Derek briefly glanced at me with a confused gaze. “Um, Enoch's startup tech company?” “Ohhhh,” I dramatically gasped, acting like I just recalled what it was, and who owned it as if I had no prior knowledge about it before, and honestly, that's what it seems now. If Enoch could go low, then I could go even lower than he did. Derek frowned. “You're not acting like the sister I used to know,” and then chuckled. “What's with this new high?”I rolled m

Jasmine's Pov I pushed open the boardroom doors and nearly collided with Derek. Of course he was standing there, leaning casually against the wall like he was posing for a luxury cologne ad. Handsome and impeccable as always, he looked nothing short of a model straight out of a magazine. Tall, sharp-jawed and annoyingly perfect. But I still rolled my eyes at him. Hard. “Took you long enough,” I huffed, brushing past him. “So much for a short call.”He pushed himself off of the wall, guilt flickering across his stupidly handsome face. “I'm sorry, sis. Really. Something important came up.”“Oh?” I shot back. “More important than your sister who just returned to save the kingdom after two years?”“That's not fair,” he protested softly. “It wasn't more important than you… it was my girlfriend.”I didn't make it three steps before my curiosity yanked me right back around. “Hold on.” I folded my arms. “Girlfriend? Since when?”Derek winced… winced like a man caught in a lie he never int

Enoch’s pov“You're not the one who usually answers the door. But are you Mrs Smith?” he asked in a clipped professional tone, glancing down at the name maybe to check if he asked right. “Yes, I am.”“Good. Your order has arrived. I'll need payment and your signature to complete delivery.”Payment?I straightened immediately, tension crawling up my spine. Thinking about it now, I've not really paid attention to my mom's health, all thanks to Jasmine. I'd been so busy with starting my own company that I let her handle almost everything. “It's fine. I'll handle it,” I said, moving towards them. The man's eyes narrowed. “And you are—?”“Oh, he's my son,” my mother replied proudly. His stance eased, and he handed me the clipboard. “Then, that's even better. In that case, sign here… and here. Total is listed at the top.”I frowned, thinking why he said it's better I was the one… but that's not what I need to start thinking right now. I barely glanced down, and the numbers slapped me ha
