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
Chapter 037|Delicious Possessiveness"That is where you are wrong, it's my business." "Explain that faulty logic to me because the last time I checked you don't go about acting like a jealous caveman on all your random fuck buddies..." He exhaled a sharp breath, a string of curses that even made her narrow her eyes escaping his lips. "Fuck the others. You Jasmine, you belong to me. No man should get to touch you, hold you, look at you, feel your body against his, You are mine. Just mine." Her temper flared at his words. The hell she belonged to any man. "Get away." She started to push off the wall, and one of his arms snaked around her waist keeping her in place. His breath was hitched as he placed his forehead against hers. "I need you to get rid of him. Every one of them. I own you, completely." Her eyes widen at the intensity of his words and how obscene and seriously ridiculous he sounded. "I can't just leave anybody you want me to." She objected. "You will b
Chapter 038|A spectacular breaking news"It is a must you attend this particular fundraiser for cancer Sir, Not only will it ruin your reputation and paint you as insensitive if you don't but if you are interested in upping your game in public appearances, this is a chance." Taiwo frowned even more as Bayo, one of the few men he truly respected in every sense of the world tried to convince him of how important it was he made it through one more political gathering with vain potbellied corrupt men, sipping wine while plotting how to carry out another of their laundering, impoverishing the system yet again. He knew that if he wanted to be running presidential which was his long-run target, he needed to be seen more, make new contacts, get out even more and huddling up in his penthouse while thinking of all kinds of angles he wanted to fuck Jasmine in was not helping. "I will be going, get me the sealed invitation card." He smiled triumphantly, glad that he had made in his own
Chapter 039|A slap by reality Knowing she was already caught out and there was no need to strain Chucks' thinned out patience already and torturing herself with the news that just wanted to burst out of her tongue, she sighed. "Taiwo asked me out as his date to a political charity ball." She quickly said in one breath and then she watched the confusion on Chucks' face, then slowly realization sunk in and there it was, the widening of his eyes at how big this was to her, to them. "You..." She nodded enthusiastically as a slow grin eased into his face. "Jesus, Jasmine. How did this even happen?" He muttered, his eyes staring at her like she was one of the wonders of the earth. "I know right?!" "So when are you swooping right in. You know going in for the kill?" He asked making her frown. "Kill?" She asked confusion marring her once goofy smile. "You know the fall in love, kill him plan?" His brow was raised at her, his face still a bit playful. "Oh, that
Chapter 040|The L-word"You look beautiful," he complimented as she walked past him. He was tired of her cold stoic glare whenever she saw him and was extending an olive branch to her. But judging by her sharp nod and jerked movement as she walked into her car, that would take her to a makeshift house, which will pose as her house and where Taiwo while come pick her up, he knew she had rejected his pitiful attempt to end the silent treatment between the both of them. As he watched her car disappear from his sight, he felt the familiar fear resurfacing whenever she walked out of the door, to the waiting arms of Taiwo. He didn't even try to shake it off this time, it was no use. At that moment as he watched her go, a silent prayer dropped in his heart. "Please Jasmine, please come back to us without giving more than you already have."***Taiwo felt his breath hitch as he took Jasmine in her beautiful black strapless gown that hugged her voluptuous curves and a high-end sli
Chapter 041|Being with him felt so extra"What is wrong with you?" She mumbled not able to keep it in any longer, directing a glare at him. "I am fine just soaking in the moment. Getting used to the energy in here and all that." She would have been convinced a little if he had stared at her just once while he gave her such a dry boring reply. "Was this energy also in the car when we were coming here? Because I didn't see a group of politicians and their caked up wives who try to hide the emptiness and bitterness they feel with layers and layers of foundation." He glanced at her for a while. "I don't want to talk about it." There was quietness in his firm sharp tone as he stared straight ahead while she took a glass of champagne from one of the passing waiters. "Is this it? Is this the stuff politicians do when they just get an arm candy to accompany them and make them look good, glorifying their side? Is that why I am here?" He didn't look at her. "I think I have been d
Chapter 042|His weakness, A paradox of strength There was nothing really special about the Governor's residential building he had driven her to. Though the exteriors gave off a hint of elegance, his interiors were bland and cold yet Jasmine didn't know why it felt like she was walking on clouds. She was getting to see his real home, somewhere that meant something to him from the look of things. He was looking at her as she stood up to take in the incredible cityscape that she could see because of the vantage positioning of the building and its glass walls. "It is beautiful." The compliment rushed out of her while his gaze travelled down her body, a clear indication of what or rather who he found beautiful. His breath hitched as he took in her face. Almost like a sculpted piece. Wide eyes, a glow on her face and a beautiful heartwarming smile that could thaw anything, he was an example of how effective it was. She was giving him an inquisitive glance, he nodded
Chapter 043|A mastery of seductionShe gasped again, the hot wet slide of his tongue insanely delicious, and then she was humming in anticipation as his hands expertly worked on her gown and in seconds the satin was pooling on her leg. "Jesus, Jasmine." He trembled, his whisper husky, as his hungry gaze took in her matching pink lingerie underneath. Dark clashed against dark, as their gaze met even in the darkness of the room, save for the illumination the city's lamplight and automobiles' headlamp offered. She stepped out of her gown, ditching them completely as he made her take a step forward, so her body was at a perfect angle to be illuminated by the light, flitting inside the room. "Beautiful, mind-blowing, Gorgeous." He chanted, like a fleeting mantra, his raspy breath making her core clench again and again and as his dark hooded eyes travelled down the length of her baby pink lingerie-clad body, she could swear she heard him suck in a breath. His sharp exhale confirmed
