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
Jasmine."He wants us to go on a trip to London, a pleasure trip for two whole weeks," I didn't know I could sound that excited about something as silly as a getaway date that would lead to us getting caught but I was.Gia gave me that half smirk as she moved her hand to the back of her chair, "Well I wasn't invited to this trip and now I'm getting offended," She joked, "But do you think it's a good idea?"Gia knew about our whole situation and I loved her because she didn't judge us or did anything creepy. She just accepted us and made silly jokes whenever she could, most of them to Alexander's expense.I sighed softly, "It's not, I know it's not ideal for us to be together because if this gets out then it's over for all of us," I turned my head to the side and closed my eyes shut, "But I do want to spend some time with him, the last month has been one of the best months I had ever had and it's all because of the amazing people I have met."I wouldn't be able to handle the hurt from
Jasmine.I didn't know how to bring up the news about Paris to Alexander. I couldn't tell Gia or Ruby because they knew nothing about my office scandal.Alexander had invited me over tonight and for the first time in a while, I felt like cancelling the invitation.The mirror in my bathroom turned out to the perfect object to fixate on while I thought about my life choices. I stared at my reflection, noting each and every imperfections on my face while applying a decent size of makeup on my face.I used the brown lip liner to line my lips, dabbed a bit on it before applying lipgloss to make my lips look glossy. Would Alexander be disappointed or mad at me perhaps for agreeing to go to Paris with Mr Warner.Would he come with me as a way to protect me? If I went on the trip with Mr Warner, I could finally finish what I came for and just disappear without Charles running down my throat alongside my mother.If I decided to ignore it and go to London with Alexander, who knew what would hap
Jasmine.We were alone when he asked me to be his girlfriend, something I was extremely grateful for.And even with my emotions all over the place, I was able to set my face in a mask of happiness before turning towards Alexander."I would never have mistaken you for a romantic person Alexander," I screamed out as I rushed forward to give him a hug, basking in the warmth his body gave me.And the fact that I still had a few seconds to keep myself in check.He placed his hand on the lower part of my back and rested his chin on my head. This was a safe space for us.If someone had told me earlier this year that Alexander would ask me to be his girlfriend, I would have spat in his eye and called him a fraud. I didn't even have plans on ever seeing the mother fucker again. Yet, here we were."So I guess that's a yes," Alexander said the moment I freed myself from his body.A yes to Alexander would solve all my issues.I nodded my head rapidly then rose on my tiptoes to give him a kiss, "Y
Jasmine.I enjoyed watching Alexander sleep, it was almost like watching a baby because of how vulnerable he was at that point.His long lashes fluttered a bit, touching his cheekbones. One of the lashes was a bit askew and I almost touched him just to straighten it. His lips looked so kissable.If he wasn't so deep in sleep, he would probably chuckle and talk in that deep morning voice that seemed to send tingles up my spine and set my panties in a twist.I escaped from the house in the dead of the night, few hours after the helicopter brought us back to the city, few hours after I had my last mind-blowing sex with Alexander and few hours after I finally made my decision.I left a handwritten letter to soften the blow of my departure. My home felt like it wasn't even mine anymore since I spent a lot of time at Alexander's and most of my things were there. Would he have them shipped back to me or perhaps burnt them so he would have no excuse to talk to me again.Everything I needed f
Jasmine.Cocaine. This people were talking about drugs."The silly boy wants protection in exchange for knowledge about how the other group and how they operate," The quiet dude scoffed like the thought offended him deeply.This wasn't what Charles had in mind when he sent me for this mission. This was something that would make the entire situation go wrongly if this got out.They would be arrested.Mr Warner laughed, "Protection for something that we could get ourselves, we just need to get any sort of leverage against them and we're set."I felt so insignificant at this point as they talked about this little crime they had going on. If this got reported, would I be considered as an accomplice?Would I be arrested?Perhaps I should have stayed with Alexander and forget about all this. Find a middle ground where Amanda would have the opportunity to get closer to her brother.One of the men that had been quiet all this while stood up, paced around the empty space for a while and then e
Alexander.She left.Like a fucking coward, she escaped at the dead of the night when I was sleeping and went with that bastard to the heaven knows where.She even left a note. One I didn't get to read because of Gia and a friend of Jasmine's emergence into the case when I first saw it and then I got too mad to look at it when they told me what she did."I told you she was going to do something reckless and you blew it, you fucking blew it," The tiny girl she worked with in Ambrose Warner's office kept on saying as she paced around my living room.She had sent multiple messages to Jasmine's cell and received no reply yet we all knew Jasmine was getting them because it kept on showing delivered.My sweet little flower. What had she gotten herself into?Gia on the other hand was at the other end of the room, looking for clues on where Jasmine might have been dragged off to."I can't believe she would risk herself like that without even telling me the truth," Ruby continued, "She couldn'
Jasmine's point of viewThe call came before he could lay his hands on me and he excused himself out of the room.The icky feeling of him being all over me from earlier was still there though.And when he came back, the expression on his face was enough to make me know that everything was not peachy at the moment.I picked up my phone, ready to use it as a point of defense if he tried anything."What did you do bitch?" He smacked me across the face, "You've ruined everything for me, everything," Another smack before I could escape from the side of the bed.Holding my cheek, I waved my hand and legs around, satisfied when the phone smacked him hard on the head. And despite the fact that all I had on was a bathrobe, I ran out of that room as fast as I could, grateful for the fact that Mr Warner was too angry to lock the door.I was almost at the front desk when a man dressed like a spy in a badly written movie held unto my arm, dragging me backwards."Help," I managed to shout out befor
