All Chapters of Abadoned By My Husband, Claimed By His Billionaire’s Brother: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The world turned black before her eyes as Jasmine was shoved into a car, curling up trembling and hopeless in the corner.She couldn't donate a kidney; she would die.And she couldn't die yet."Jasmine, how was prison life for the past five years?" Daniel asked, peering at her shrunken figure in the corner, a far cry from the proud woman she once was. He felt a complicated emotion deep within.Jasmine flinched, perhaps a conditioned reflex from being bullied in prison; she wrapped her arms protectively around her head in fear."Have you gone mute?" Daniel asked with disgust while pinching her chin. The fresh,dark red blood on her forehead stark against her pale face."Fine..." Jasmine's voice trembled, filled with as much hatred as despair.Thanks to Daniel, her prison life had been a living hell.On the day of her release, another inmate who had been bullying her incessantly finally broke down and revealed the truth-she had been paid by Daniel's men to 'look after' Jasmine during th

The basin of water didn't wake Jasmine; it only caused her to spike a high fever."What the hell happened here? We need to act fast!" Shouted the doctor, who was just making rounds when he noticed Jasmine's pallid complexion and bluish lips. "Get her to the ER, now!"Frozen in place, Daniel's fingers tingled with both shock and anger as he grabbed onto Evan's collar. "I thought you said she was faking it?"Evan, clearly panicked, shook off Daniel's grip. "How was I supposed to know? She's quite the actress. Ever heard of The Boy Who Cried Wolf?""Don't worry, she's not going to die," Karen said confidently, her heels clicking on the floor, exuding the air of a wealthy matriarch. "Doctor, she agreed to donate a kidney to our Serena. While you're at it, check if her kidney's a match, would you?"The doctor frowned. "Let's focus on the emergency at hand.""Dr. Ryan, remember your father and Benjamin are good friends. I'd rather not spell everything out," Karen insinuated, hinting for the

Jasmine turned in terror to shield her son. "Daniel... what do you... what are you going to do?""What are you here for?! Jasmine has already served five years - isn't her five years in prison enough for redemption?" Richard stepped in front of Jasmine, glaring at Daniel with anger boiling in his eyes."Redemption?" Daniel laughed. "How could she ever repay what she owes me? Maybe I'll just take care of this little bastard right here?"Jasmine stared at Daniel in horror; she knew he was dead serious. Desperately, she knelt down. "Daniel, I will do whatever you've asked of me; just give me a few days. I beg you, please."All she wanted was to come back and be with her child. Was a few days too much to ask?"Jasmine, get up! He wouldn't dare hurt us," Richard said tenderly, though his heart ached at the sight of her. She hadn't always been like this. The Jasmine of the past was like a pure white rose, but now..."You think I wouldn't dare?" Daniel sneered. "Richard, do you know nothing

"Bro..." Daniel was scared too, but at the same time, he was astonished. Ethan, who detested strangers coming close, was acting out of character today."Sorry, Ethan. Serena was in a car accident and needs a kidney transplant. Jasmine owes Serena big time, and I was afraid she'd pull some stunt, so I brought her here to stay for a few days," Daniel hurriedly explained.Ethan didn't make a sound; he was never one to meddle in other people's business. Especially not Daniel's."Kid, scoot over," Daniel said, reaching out to grab Justin when Ethan remained silent.But Justin pressed his head against Ethan's leg, embracing him like how a koala clung to a tree.Though young, Justin had learned to read the room.He could tell Daniel was a bad guy for bullying Mom, and that this bad guy was afraid of the man he was clinging to.Jasmine, amidst her panic, was moved and pained by the thought of what Justin must be going through-he was only five years old..."Justin, Mom will take you to find Da

Mom, my drawing won first prize," Justin beamed. "I drew you, me, and Uncle.""Mom, they asked me why I don't have a dad...""Mom, when can you come home?"Richard said that Justin was remarkably mature for his age, wise beyond his five years in a way that was heartbreakingly endearing.Sometimes, witnessing the boy's precociousness made him achingly aware of how much Justin's young heart craved a sense of security and a mother's love."Don't cry, Mom. You've got me." Justin nestled into Jasmine's embrace, a mere child himself, starved for maternal affection and a sense of safety.As Jasmine held Justin close, her gaze inadvertently caught her reflection in the full- length mirror. Pale and gaunt, with bloodless lips; she looked like she was just a heartbeat away from fading into nothingness-unrecognizable from the former belle of the San Francisco socialite scene. And yes, Daniel had cruelly hit the mark-she could pass for a beggar on the street. Her body was a mere shadow of its for
