"What happened to you. I met up with Jasper and he told me you weren't going to make it. You were in jail," there was a sense of affirmations about her tone, "What happened?"
"Would you not let me in first?" His velvety tone was almost causing the hairs on her skin to stand on its end. She hadn't seen another Caucasian adult human being in almost three months, talk less of one as good looking as Dylan Jones.
"Why were you jailed in the first place?"
"If only you'd let me in, I'd tell you everything,"
"I know you were in jail Dylan; in jail for murder. Why should I trust you?"
Dylan let out a heavy breath. He never wanted to appear as the bad guy in Jasmine's eyes. He had risked so much for her and couldn't even explain why. This particular thought had been bothering him from day one of him working on her case. He violated security measures just to get deep into her life and help her. Someone was aware: someone had always been aware; and now, he'd b

While some people in the world struggle for survival and luxury, others crave for death and eternal rest. This was exactly the feeling Marcello Marchesa was having. He woke up one day to find the love of his life missing. Something like that had never happened to him. He felt drowsy, weak and nauseous. He noticed the white tube connected from his hand to the infusion stand by his left.Why was he getting infused when he had spent some amazing hours, drinking and raising glasses to life together with the woman he loved who had just accepted to be his eternal lover? What was or rather had happened? Where was Jasmine? So he kept on asking himself and everyone around him.A clear version to answer all these questions was; days prior to this, when he'd been leaving to go back into the city, Jasmine had demanded for some Valium pills to help her sleep. She had willfully deceived him, complaining about insomnia to convince him about getting her the

A wet mist carried by the wind across the seemingly dead forestation that surrounded the cabin flew in through the windows; the mint green curtains dancing along side it. Jasmine sat across a the furniture embedded in white sheets and a folded coloured draping to the side; she smoothing the sheets with her palms, letting the cold air to blow across her face. She heard a vile movement again from the door, but this time, it didn't just stop at the door, it seemed to be pushing open the door. Jasmine scurried to hide behind the bed which barely covered half her figure. But it did provide an easily breakable barricade between her and whoever was going to come through that door. Jasmine grabbed tight the vase of white and red roses that stood on the night stand beside, braced her arm, ready to throw it at them.She flinched in mid action when she saw who walked through the door."Serena?" She dropped the vase back on the nightstand, got on her feet, "My God! Serena, I was-"

How about that?A lot had change. A lot was different about her. Marcello keenly observed the CCTV footage, never shifting his eyes away from her weak form. She had been tortured beyond reason, broken to the bones, he could almost see her sanity; breaking, little cracks and faults, falling apart, bit by bit, but still, she was still holding on. The woman alone had the willpower of a ten strong men. She wouldn't give a slight hint as to where she had hidden the child. He wasn't with any of her family members; not even the extended ones.For the main time, he was moving heaven and earth to find the detective. He had heard from Serena that she was with him when they'd found her, but he had just disappeared."You're going to have to talk to her yourself now. She won't say anything and if I go in there one more time, I might kill her without hesitation.""We cannot kill her.""Why not Marcello? Tell me why. Are you still soft hearted for thi

On the third ring of his business mobile phone, Marcello finally picked up. He had a nostalgic feeling rooted from the time he had to be constant wait for Serena's calls whilst still a fugitive in Cameroon. He brought the device to his ear, scratching the side of his face with his index, a sign that he was nervous."This better be a 'good news, I have found your son call' because if not, I do not see why you're calling me now?""Where is the girl?" Serena's voice could be heard from the other line,"Probably knocked out. You didn't call me to ask about her well-being did you?" He threw his hand into his mop of taper waves atop his head, another sign that his frustration was only growing."No. I need you to be by her and tell me her reaction to the news I'm about to give you right now.""Why? Have you found him?""Just go Marcello!"

Dangerously, the turn of event were never meant to favour Jasmine. She had been completely and intentionally ignorant of Serena Marchesa's tracking skills. The latter was like tracking dog and had the exceptional ability to find or hide anyone.All it took was one reaction from Jasmine and she could already tell where to go next, to find her prey."I do not know on which path to take to find the detective and the boy but I do know this, all these is connected with the hotel owner.""Why would you think that?""It'll all adds up Marcello. He has dealings with both Yakhuza and the Triad: together. He's powerful, and from what I've gathered so far, he also has a weakness for pretty black women. This brings me to reasons why I think he might be the one helping your Chicca in hiding the boy."The nerves Marcello had had all tied up, just got tighter. He couldn't- no! He didn't want to believe or eve

The most dangerous person in the world isn't the most dangerous person in the world: it's his most vicious enemy.Would you escape?Jasmine overheard Marcello talking to some of his men about the body of a Chinese man killed outside their hideout. She remembered the man that had come in and promised to save her was a Chinese native and he hadn't come back for her like he promised. Why was she even waiting for him? She didn't even know him. She had recovered quite well. She had started looking in good shape and no other punishments had been put upon her ever since she almost died. But she was also itchy to get out of that place. She had been having this nightmares about Mars and felt he could be in great danger.She was standing by the window in her cell, staring into space when Marcello and Serena walked in. The girl took a seat on the bed stand while the man stood directly behind her."Where is he Jasmine?" Jasmine turned to him. Her look impassive. Her

She was sleeping when she heard someone slip into her cell room. She turned around to see Marcello seated beside her."Marcello? What are you doing in here?""I might not be able to see you again after tomorrow. I don't think I will able to watch," he paused,"It's OK. I'm prepared. I've seen worse.""You have, haven't you?" The way his eyes were searching into hers. It was like the secret of life was written in there. "Jasmine," he picked up her hand from her thigh, "Right now, I want us to forget. Forget that there's a complication threatening the life of our only son. I just want to ask you one question; is there anything happening with you and that detective?""Marcello, there's nothing with me and Dylan. Never was, never will be.""So not even once did you ever consider leaving me for him? Maybe because his lifestyle seemed safer than mine?" Jasmine sat up. She took her hand out of his hold."What is this Marcello? Why are we doi

Why was her own story different?Jasmine remembers reading a lot of books and stories and girls who found love in foreigners, and lived happy ever after: but why was her own story different? Why did she have to be tortured by her own lover before being sent out as bait to fish out their son? Why? Why did Marcelo Marchesa not just be like a normal white tourist who just happen to tour her country, fall in love with her and then they'd have a normal relationshipWhy now was she on the run from someone she couldn't identify as an ally or an enemyHow did she get caught up in this lifeShe turned from under the light of the street lamp into an alley dark enough to hide her shadow. She ducked behind a van and inhaled sharply. Whoever was tailing her would really love her hiding in there. Alleys were the best places commit crimes or capture a prey. They would think she was stupid enough to get into the only place where she was sure to get caught instead just ju
