Chapter 029|A moleMama Ronke was their coverup. She was the daughter of one of the founding fathers of the Natives and according to her enjoyed the peace of the rural area. Always said that the city was not for her. Building a warehouse underneath her house was a suggestion that she had made when the problem of safety regarding their newly purchased goods which were priceless had come up and hence an underground warehouse was made. "The first attack didn't look like an accident either. The second too. How did they know a fire alarm was inside the house. The building is complex, how did they know how to get in and out without being seen?" Her eyes widened as they both looked at each other. "So you think?" He nodded. "We have a mole."***Uncle Chidi and Kehinde gaped at them after their rambling. Jasmine's face was flushed from their discovery and Chuck's eyes shone with nervous excitement. "If this is true, you know what that means?' Jasmine nodded at Chidi. "S
Chapter 030|Family"What next huh? What?" She muttered and in that second she could hear her uncle's voice, it caressed her body and penetrated her heart.___________Flashback___________She hit the punching bag again, again and again. "Come on Jasmine, give it a side jab, be firmer, again. Nice one." She sat down on the ground her frail 10 years old body giving out. "This isn't fair." She mumbled breathlessly. He walks towards her, "Stand up Jasmine, Nobody cares about what is fair anymore. Life and a lot of shit ain't fair but that doesn't mean you just give up." She frowned at him confused. "Nobody Jasmine, Nobody gives a shit about you. If you end up screwed or killed, nobody really cares. If they cry it is because there is something you do for them that they will have to struggle to find another person to do it for them. It is about mutual benefit Jas." She shook her head. "That is a sad way to look at life." "Reality is sad, kiddo. Nobody gat you for real exce
Chapter 031|Imperfect yet beautifulShe schooled her expression not to reveal anything as she nodded at him to continue. "I... It has been going on for some time now... Like I realized I love her recently but I don't know if she is into me like that, you know?" She nodded even though she had no idea what he was rambling about. "Never been in love Mark. Can tell you how to use a gun but I'm certainly not a love coach. I can't help you at all." He rubbed his face with his hand. "The thing is, whenever I decide to talk to her and ... I just get speechless you know. I can't produce a single word, tongue-tied and..." Chucks snickered behind them. "You both are the most clueless people I have ever seen. Maryann and yourself, just tell the girl already you have it bad for her and she will be willing to leave her family name and say vows she doesn't understand in a split second." Jasmine's eyes widened at the realization that he was actually in love with Maryann, "She has it t
Chapter 032|Symbolises everything forbidden "You should taste the cookies and tell me what you think already." She grinned as he passed her one of them watching her as she took a big bite and then moaned in appreciation. "At this rate, you'll make a great pastry chef. You should open up a little shop already since it is getting difficult for me to finish all of this especially since you don't eat them which is such a pity anyway," she had a mocking grin on her face as she took another cookies while he cleaned and entertained her ranting on how he'll have to wear a silly little apron and get a bell when he begins his pastry shop. An idea she was very much infatuated with talking about since it gave her all the luxuries of painting out a silly picture of him in her head. "Why didn't you get married?" He was putting the utensils he had used into the dishwasher when she asked him that question and he groaned accepting that he should have known better than believing that J
Chapter 033|ObsessedHe called one of the assistants via the telephone asking her to send him his schedule via mail not sure he can bear to see another person that was not Jasmine. The whole time, he spent his day complaining and comparing Jasmine's efficiency to theirs, how slow it was for them to get any work Jasmine gets done in seconds, done in minutes. And realising how slow a workday could actually be, without glancing at her longingly from his office, without getting a snarky or sharp comeback from her, without watching her grin wickedly or her eyes glimmer sharply as she tried to memorize every instruction, write down every request. By the end of the day as he walked back to his car more grumpy than usual he was beginning to realize how dependent he has become on Jasmine and now, he practically can't operate without her. Half of His appointments were rescheduled because of how behind the clock he was and paperworks were scattered around his table, which was normally n
Chapter 034|Be the good guy In his black crazy jeans, his casual white shirt and the cap donned on his head, he looked pretty much like a normal guy. He still made heads turn but it was because of how good-looking he was, no hint that he was the Governor. Nothing gave him away. With their hands clasped like they were a couple, they passed a bean cake vendor. It was evening, some boys were playing football but without an actual ball, a Milo container served the purpose. The laughter and the sound of the jiggling container as they all tried to get the object into their possession with such fierce fervour made Jasmine wonder, what her life would have been like if she had such a stress free childhood. Yes, the environment was not ideal, she could see the worn-out unkempt state of the children but still, she could see the great joy such mundane, frivolous activity brought to them. She peered into Taiwo's eyes hating how easy it was becoming to pretend that she was just a no
Chapter 035|Would he ever get enough of her? "Jesus.." he harshly exhaled, as she placed her hand teasingly over his cock again. She chuckled, "Just me," then impatiently tugged both his trousers and boxer briefs in one tug, his cock springing to attention, all hard. "Turn around and put your hands together, behind your back." He gruffly ordered. Nervous excitement and anticipation, made her shiver as she did as he asked and let him wrap his leather strap around her wrist until her hands were secured at the back of her spine. She felt so vulnerable, she felt the intimate connection in just that one act, as it felt like she was giving him just more than a blow job, he was also taking her trust too, asking her to believe he could completely overpower her senses and still make sure she was safe, but instead of fright at what she had handed to him, she felt her pant becoming even more moist, liquid escaping her pants and trickling down her thighs. "On your knees," his voic
Chapter 036|Jealousy"Fourth, stated that we needed to have more trust in each other and more love, now this is not a thesis that needs deployment of security but people, not men of the Native but humans with one heartbeat. Seems non-important but the most essential part. I need to love you, I need to understand it is either you or you. No choice. No alternative. In the true sense, we need to understand that the Native is me and I am the Native." She paused then pointed at the last paper stuck to the board. Ironically, it was written on a red cardboard piece of paper. "Kill Taiwo." She flicked her hair which was cooperating so much recently and was lapped to the side, a generous amount of curls framing her face, her eyes still burning with the passion of spilling Taiwo's blood, a detail that calmed Chucks. "I will be taking care of this soon."***She nodded at Rhoda, the receptionist of the coffee shop she just entered though apprehensive, as she saw a hint of Mark's familiar w
