Jasper's expression remained calm in the face of her question, and even when he finally spoke, "I need a wife to deal with family affairs. Sometimes I need to be present at some occasions with a wife by my side.” He shrugged casually, like this was all nothing to him, “If you can be this person, then I'll help you carry out any form of revenge that you need."He didn't even sound like he was proposing to her, more like he was explaining the terms of a deal with her. And the more he spoke, the more familiar he seemed. Like she had met him once in a lifetime.But it didn't matter how well he proposed the terms of the relationship, or if he was going get to help her carry out her revenge, or the very fact that Antonio was a complete scumbag, the fact remained that there was no way she was going to be able to devote herself to Jasper D'Angelo without the psychological burden of being with Antonio these past years.Love didn't exactly work that way. And her feelings for her ex had never be

Maria, Jasmine's assistant never for once had any doubts about Jasmine's abilities as a perfumer. But she could not for the life of her understand why Jasmine was choosing to make such sudden adjustments to the perfume after months and months of corrections and debugging."Maria, I know this is all out of the ordinary, but I'm going to need you to trust me here." Jasmine urged.“This formula is my only proof,” she added quietly. “If I lose it… I lose everything.”"Fine. Alright." Maria said and sighed, before adding, "But tell me, are you going to the competition?"Maria knew that Jasmine never went for any of the competitions, and it was something she sort of felt bitter about from time to time.Jasmine Romano, she knew, toiled hard and long for the perfumes she made. But at the end of the day, it was Flora who attended the competitions, and so it was Flora who received all of the praise. For work, she had never partaken in for once.Hell, she wasn't even sure the last time the Flora

“In a spirit of fairness, the team of judges has decided to postpone the announcement of the top three winners.” The host said and at his words, the audience went wild.“Why would you do that? Why would you postpone the announcement??!” Was the unified cry of the people present who longed to hear their winners.“If there are perfumes that are exactly the same, it’s best to disqualify both parties, right? Why would you need to postpone the announcements altogether?” People kept crying and the reporters were eager to get every bit of what was going down on camera.The confusion of the day was bound to make the headlines the very next day.Antonio turned to the host very confidently, and was arrogant in his stride, “The people are right. If disqualifications need to be made, then so be it. But the winners need to be announced. It is why we are all here after all.”“Of course, anyone guilty of plagiarism will have what’s coming for them.” Antonio finished proudly. In his head and heart,

Flora sniffed frantically and the scent on her clothes and wanted to weep. She didn't know how that scent had come to be and stood on the stage helplessly.“This isn’t my perfume… this isn’t what I submitted…” she whispered, as her panic rose, the stench clinging to her like guilt.Amidst all of the chaos and confusion, someone yelled out, "Jasmine!"Everyone turned to see that the one who had shouted was Antonio and he looked as though he was distressed, "Jasmine, why did you betray me this way?"He spoke clearly for all to hear, and his words caused another case of restlessness among the people in the audience.Three years ago, when Jasmine had partaken in a competition in France, it had left her shaken and caused her to disappear, and no one knew what had happened to her. Neither did they know about what had gone on between Antonio and Jasmine. But now they would.because every reporter present in that arena had their ears piqued for whatever gossip they were going to hear direct
