Jasmine.Alexander always knew how to play the disappearance card. He did it when we were younger and he was doing it now.Making me anxious because I keep on thinking about his next move. Would he actually tell Mr Warner the truth once he found out I flaunted his orders. Or was he just playing bluff.Today makes it seven days since I last saw him or Gia, his assistant no longer sent updates about the security and how far along they were. It was almost like Castor security disappeared into thin air.A knock on the door brought me back from my thoughts."Jasmine, it's me Ruby," A voice from the other side called, the sound sending relaxation down my body immediately.I adjusted my stance and removed what I was initially doing on the computer to something less suspicious, I couldn't deal with a suspicious Ruby."Come on in," I shouted back, even plastered a big smile on my face so it would be convincing when she walked in.Ruby was in a happy normal mood today, dressed in a hot pink jum
Jasmine."I can't believe you don't know why I'm mad at you Jasmine," Ruby repeated the words for the tenth time that day.But truthfully, it was because I kept on asking the question since it seemed that was the only question she was opened to answering.I rested my ass on the chair close to where she did the makeup of the clients. I wondered if Anabel came here for her makeup, I wondered if she was truly invested in his election campaign.I spent almost half of my night searching for her online and the only time I saw pictures of her was when it was with the children. They had zero pictures of just them. But there was a video of her listing all his good attributes.I turned back to Ruby as she set up her space, "You have to make me understand what's happening, I have no idea what I did wrong and why you're so mad at me," I attempted another redemption of the situation and hoped to the heavens that she would just tell me what was wrong.Ruby sighed, she stood and just looked at me wi
Jasmine.Parties were a sort of escape for extroverts and always an inconvenience for introverts like myself whom didn't want to have anything to do with humans at the late hours of the day.I wished I could just crawl back into my house and get a glass of wine, popcorn and binge watch Netflix for the next five hours or until I fell asleep. I picked up the golden charm bracelet mom had bought for me recently, for some reason Morgan Castor was in the spirit of giving and I was the one that received what she wanted to give. Amanda said it was because I came home more frequently now and I called her just to ask how she was. Sentimental much.It felt like a snug hug on my wrist and coupled with the black corset gown I chose to wear, I felt like I could do anything. It wasn't as provocative as last time but could still make heads turn whenever and wherever I went to."Black suits you," Ruby mentioned from her spot on the bed. If I didn't know her voice and if I hadn't been looking towards
Jasmine."Thank you," The words were a whisper and I was pretty sure he didn't hear it because he said nothing, just kept on walking fast while I tried to catch up with him.Something had happened. Something had happened back home to Ruby. Oh my gosh, I hoped she was okay.At some point I ditched the heels and held them in my bare hands, my feet already ached, I did not have the desire to twist them too.Alexander's ride was a Tesla and damn was it beautiful. I wasn't much of a car enthusiast but I knew when something was beautiful.I stopped at the door for some reason, scared out of my mind. I had no idea what he was going to tell me once I got in, was Ruby okay?So lost in thought, I had no idea he had climbed out of the car and was about to hold my hand."What's wrong with you?" He asked me, his hand inches away from mine. The sickening desire to place my palm on his was enough to make me wrench my entire hand away."Nothing, just take me to her," I wasted no time in running away
Jasmine.I had a hard time falling asleep after I disappeared from Alexander's apartment. I wondered how he would feel when he finally woke up and I wasn't there.Would he call? Did he even have my number? I wasn't sure about that but I knew he could get it if he wanted."Why are you here at this odd hour?" Ruby had asked the moment she caught me sneaking into the house, "Like a one-night stand with no self respect," She added.Dressed in the sexiest blue nightgown and drinking milk in my kitchen while almost giving me a heart attack, I was glad I hadn't woken her up."What are you doing here?" I screeched out the question, carefully evading her question and words, "You almost made me pee my pants."Ruby did a little hmmm sound, her eyes moved up and down my body. Carefully assessing what was mine and what wasn't. I was dressed in a plain white t-shirt and shorts I stole from Alexander's closet."This is mine," I said while using my hands to awkwardly point to every point of my body.
Jasmine"Mr Warner, I didn't see you there," I almost screamed when I turned around and saw him behind me, staring at me intensely."I trust whatever was wrong with Ruby has been resolved and Alexander won't be making more appearances," He said without blinking an eyelid.Honestly the last person I expected to see today was Mr Warner and that was at twelve o'clock when he had a meeting with some group of women from a shelter. Not now, not when I just got my hot chocolate and was about to gulp it down.He took a step closer to me and I took one back."Ruby is okay now and I'm sure he wouldn't, Mr Castor doesn't even care about me," I lied through my teeth but if he believed it then that was okay.Another step closer. Another step back."Perhaps we can meet in my office later, some of the figures from the last meeting doesn't make sense and I need your help because it's your notes."My back was almost at the counter at this point and honestly, I haven't felt that amount of fear before.
Jasmine"Let's go on a getaway trip," Alexander's voice woke me up from my sleep, his face covered by my hair while he sucked on the skin of my neck."And where would we go to?" "Somewhere far away, Hawaii, Scotland, Canada, England, Ireland, Paris etc. We have different countries to look at," He placed a kiss on my earlobe.The thought of travelling somewhere with Alexander was thrilling. I would learn things about him I didn't know about before and we would be free from Mr Warner's eyes.But then again, Alexander was someone that was very popular and the moment someone gets a picture of both of us out in the public then everything I ever worked for would be for nought. Reporters and social media detectives would definitely find a way to get me into the limelight.I pushed his head away and stood up, "I see no reason why we should travel or go on a vacation," I pushed myself into a standing position, the duvet that once hid my nudity stripped for my body leaving me bare for Alexande
Jasmine.I did not see Alexander for two days. Work was tight with the elections coming up so soon, everyone was trying to clean up their ends. So many interviews to be scheduled and parties to attend.I didn't see Ruby too. Honestly would have felt so alone if Mr Warner didn't hover around me like some sort of bodyguard and whispered the sort of things I wasn't interested in listening to.If someone had told me dinner at the family house was going to be my escape and I would have gone willingly, I would have laughed and told the person to stop whatever cheap drugs they were on.But there I was, on a Saturday night, sitting across my mother with Amanda at the side. Charles sat at the head of the table. I always felt like an imposter when we were gathered around like this, of course Alexander was around and would always try to make me feel included by doing silly things."So how much progress have you made with the plan?" Charles suddenly asked, deviating from the conversation he was h
