* Chapter 1 : Betrayed * Jasmine Lawrence laid-back helplessly on her bed. She had just miscarried the child she had been carrying for eight months due to hard labor. Despite being pregnant she worked at a rock-breaking factory to earn a living. Her eyes were crammed with tears ultimately and she whirled to see her face to see her reflection in the mirror. Who was this? Jasmine Lawrence? Impossible, she lost everything; her face was coated with bruises the scanty strands of her hair made her look like the witch in Hansel and Gretel because of alopecia areata the disease. Her once full pink lips had hard cracks and were wounded due to constant night fever. As if it were not enough she began bleeding heavily. " Blood?" she noticed the trail from her thighs. Hesitantly she picked up the phone to call her loving husband. After three rings the phone went through, opening her mouth to speak and she heard loud moaning sounds. Did she hear right? Wa
* Chapter 2: Reborn * In the darkness, she heard whacking sounds. " Who is there?" shouted Jasmine in ache. She had died so why is she still feeling pain? A small boy of about five walked towards her playing a ball. " Mommy look. I will become an awesome footballer one day" My son? At this time, she heard another voice in the darkness, the figure emerged into the light. It was her? Wearing a pink dress looking breathtaking. It was how she looked before she entered that hell of a marriage. " Yes, my son. Come your father is calling " A beautiful little girl ran towards that version of her and was picked up by a man whose face Jasmine could not see properly. He played with the girl and covered her face with kisses then they had a picnic under a beautiful tree. Watching this, Jasmine smiled bitterly, tears rushing into her eyes. Then boom. The scene changes to a different one in which it appeared it was the oldest son's graduation and his paren
* Chapter 3 : Wedding * The congrégation in the was about a hundred influential people of city Bai. They all came to attend Keith Yates wedding, one of the most requested bachelor.

She was from the Lawrence family which had a small lotion manufacturing company in the heart of the city ,they were ants to the elephant ( Yates). Plus,this impudent girl was making them late. With all the controversies surrounding their alignment this was not a shocker. They expected this from her. At the front row both families sat,at the right the groom family and the left bride family. Outside the hall doors, Mr Lawrence paced impatiently he had suspected that his daughter would run away and told Keith rather than increasing security,rather Keith laid off some of her bodyguards.

* Chapter 4 : Thief * Jasmine gasped. " That is my bracelet " "I told you sister,she is no good " Jasmine sister spoke up as her face contorted in disgust. Was she the only one who saw how evil this Lucia was! George Lawrence who had quiet for a while,waved his dismissively. " Forget about that nuance.Let me get my real daughter married first then deal with her" Lucia begged once more instead one of the guards placed tape on her lips. Then carried her downstairs and dropped her on the floor then called the police. The doors opened this time with silence. They all heard what was going on outside and Lucia had been exposed. The music began and the bride's father accompanied her down the Isle. However, Jasmine was having mixed feelings. She only stayed to proof Lucia wrong because Lucia had did the same in the past and she found out later but still forgave her. Jasmine sighed heavily,she was truly a softer in her last life.

* Chapter 5: meet cute * " I had loved you ever since you poured paint all over my car" Keith repeated as he recalled. _ _ Flashback Keith had just returned from abroad. On his way home, his father had instructed him to pass by the girl he was betrothed to. So he could at least see what she looked like. He hated this but had to please his parents so they would stop speculating he was gay. Upon arriving, a continuous bag of paint was thrown on his windshield. He wiped it using his cleaners only to find a blonde girl in pigtails in shorts standing in front of his car carrying balls of paint. She was dripping wet from head to toe for she had been playing in the rain. Her face was smudged in paint and her hair too. Bolting from her feet, she rushed to his car window. " I am sorry uncle for doing that to your car. It was meant for my sister " At that moment, something changed in him. For no reason at all, he smiled to make the girl more at ease as she se
* Chapter 6 : Date Jasmine could hear the sound of her heart beating loudly. She took possession of his arm and spoke childishly. " Pick me up " she stretched out her arms like a child pouting her lips, pulling him a bit stronger. It was only because he wanted to be pulled or else she could not have been able to move him at all. After all, that was why he spent ten hours every week in the gym. However, his eyebrows creased upon seeing this. What was she up to? Is she not supposed to be mad at him for kissing her? Yet she was begging and clinging on him. " I think I sprained my leg. '' She averted her gaze to her ankle and then at him pouting pitifully. " Please uncle! " The calm aura s
* Chapter 7: Meeting his family Jasmine froze for some time, memories seeped in a continuous rhythm. Upon seeing the expression on her face, Keith proposed " We could sit that out if you don't like the idea ..." Her mind raced, how could she start over again without making amends for the past? She gagged, a throaty laugh " Grand PADI would spank me if we don't attend. After all, it is our reception" Leaning back, Keith confirmed roaming his hands in his wavy raven-black hair " Are you sure?" Jasmine's hazel eyes gleamed as she stretched out her hand to drink a twig from his glass. " Hundred percent!" Replied without shifting his gaze from the glass she drank from " Then it is settled then ". Keith was still not convinced, he watched her smile steering
* Chapter 8 : Reassuring him Rather than taking her into the hall, he brought her to the garden. She looked up at him in confusion, " I need to speak with a client, wait here" Keith deciphered caressing her cheeks. Jasmine nodded as she took a seat on the swing. Her mind raced as memories of the past rushed in. _ _ Flashback It was seven years ago when she entered this mansion for the first time. At that time, she had been invited over by the Yates. However, she was not interested in respecting the offer but her father persuaded her. She arrived in a stylish t-shirt and torn jeans. She had her hair packed into a clean ponytail. Jasmine had be
