Sebastian’s POV‘Don’t turn...’ I whispered to myself. '... Just keep walking.’ I recited to my angry soul. When Asher threw the slice of cake I had a while ago at me, it was hard labor for me to not slam my knee to his balls and paralyze the lunatic. I get it, it was their home, but when Jasmine finally leaves, it would no longer be a home, so the least he could do was try and be cordial to the emerging winner. It was a game to me, and I hated to come second place, or worse still, the loser. ‘Rule one; gain access to their castle, rule two; invade their territory, and rule three; be the king of their castle and burn their legacy down.’Certainly, I was on rule two. I came here to make them feel uncomfortable as the very essence of the word, especially Jasmine, and now that I've got what I wanted, it was best to walk away without a fight. “You should have allowed me to handle that idiot!..”Asher’s incessant rantings continued as I walked out on them to their surprise. It wasn't
Emily's POV“Emily!” My mum called to me at the top of her lungs. I yelped away from the stranger to see my mum, approaching Mr. Carter and me in a very furious state. The last time I saw my mum this angry was... Now? This was why I was so scared, because even when I disobeyed her by giving Penny milk, she wasn't this angry looking. “Mum?” I mumbled a response, shaky to my pants, and unsure of what she was going to do to me next, or even Mr. Carter. Beads of sweat broke out from every pore, almost soaking my dress as a result. And as my mum got closer, I went rigid on the spot, thinking about the next best action... First, I could run for my safety or secondly, I could just wait it out. “What are you doing Emily?” She looked at me, still obviously angry. “I... I helped... His...” I stuttered, more scared than I imagined. My mum wasn't the type to be spontaneous, hence it was possible to guess her next action, but right now, even guessing she would eat me alive is a nice try. “S
Sebastian’s POV“You will come begging, Jasmine!” I yelled into the empty space of my living room. In return, it echoed. Nothing seemed to go right after Talia. It was like she came into my life, robbed me of my peace, and sneaked out with it. I was bored and devastated and lonely. Better put, I was depressed. “I will be here waiting!” I poured a generous amount of tequila into a glass I was holding and gulped half the content at a go. "Argh!" I groaned, containing the bitterness and the strong taste of the alcohol. It was nothing compared to the pain I felt when I knew I traded my only true love for a slimy piece of shit. And I felt more pained when eight years later, she had a lover and three beautiful kids, and I had a sad story. A perfect rekindle. "You'd be mine, soon.” I smiled a knowing smile. Can't of my sad reality, I had just three days to the deadline, and I was yet to convince her or buy her over fully. The meeting at her place didn't go as much as expected, and if
Sebastian’s POVAs expected the news of my suspension had spread like wildfire in autumn. Bad news as this, blew without catalyst, and it was so pathetic. What made it worse was that I was the newest member of the board of directors, after Jasmine’s fall from grace, which meant literally all of the workers here knew me. I was tagged 'Dr. Ross's replacement.’After the last-minute revelation from Kylie, I was prompted to go the extra mile and get Jasmine over. I needed the CCTV footage to absolutely convince her. Knowing Jasmine, she wasn't one to believe mere words over evidence, especially since the one giving her such an update was her arch-enemy. “Jeez.” I giggled. Jasmine was just a handful lately, and I loved the emotional fight she always put up, even though I wished it was easier to woo her over. With her acting like a Wonder Woman, it only gave me the opportunity to be with her one more day. I began pacing about in front of my compound, hovering around my black Ford, unsure
Sebastian's POV“Fuck!” Jasper yelped and took a few steps backward. Mr...”"Don't speak," I whispered an order to his hearing. The stillness of my voice made it as clear as the wind blowing over a still ocean that I wasn't messing around. And he would comply if he valued his life at the very least. “Can you at least put that away?” He gasped. It was obvious he was totally terrified like he would pee on his pants in about a matter of seconds. Werewolves and silver were like predator and prey, and it was obvious who the predator was. Even though it was just a piece of metal, I was also terrified, because, one wrong action, and I would be dead and gone up in ashes. “Jasper...” I tried to exert self-control I had barely an hour left, and his stupid ass was cutting into my time. “...Retrieve the damn footage and hand it over.” I gave a clear instruction. "Do not make me repeat myself. " I passed a stern warning. With my last words hitting him hard, he sat on his seat to begin workin
Jasmine’s POVMy phone buzzed and I picked it up to look at the notification. It was a message from 'Dick Head’ which I apparently used to save Sebastian’s contact. In my defense, I was been lenient with him, names like; demon, and beast... described him best. "Not again, asshole." I sighed for the umpteenth time. "What does the asshole want this time around?”Now that Asher and I were having an understanding, I would be an ass to spoil this good thing we have going. After the interrupted family fun time, Asher only began to open up and acted normal, recently. To be honest, I loved every moment of it, and I wasn't about to put an end to it. There was another part of me that was curious to know what he had up his sleeves this time around. I was kinda desperate to know the state of things with my father, if he was truly dying, and needed my presence. If only I had his number, I could have called myself. I guess there was always a part of someone that was troubleshooting. “I should ju
Sebastian’s POV“What are you waiting for, Jasmine?” I groaned. "You have no choice... Stop fighting it.”I sighed nonstop as I looked at my blank phone screen for the umpteenth time. It was over an hour since I tipped Jasmine, and she was yet to come running... Why was she this difficult? Damn! I sighed again. “Oh, Jasmine.” I scoffed, aware that she might be playing the tough girl game. "It won't take long, you will be my damsel in distress, and I, your knight in shining armor.”“Sadly, this is like a bone in your throat... One you can't spit out.” I smirked. "You either swallow it and live with the complication from the bruises, or choke on it.”I had to forget about her, even though I couldn't stop expecting her calls. You wouldn't fault me, I was the one with a dying father who made a ridiculous wish. But then, the key to a perfect shot is knowing you are the game. When it was the right time, she would come to me, for now, there was no need to beat myself. “I'll be here... wai
Sebastian’s POVJasmine in my house?It was a mixed feeling, I was both happy and stunned. I was still clearly in shock at her surprise visit. When she unapologetically brushed me aside and gained access to my space without my permit, I turned and watched her sway her hips as she shoved got in and comfortable in my home. Weird indeed. “Arghh.” I sighed softly. They had stopped my happy mood abruptly before I got soaked in my state of euphoria. But surely, the celebration would double after she left the house, plus, she was the reason for the celebration after all. And for a job well done, I need another bottle of champagne. Maybe three bottles, or four or five... Just not one. "Is there a problem?" She asked from inside. "Are we interrupting any of your silly activities?”Now, Jasmine, I need to make you bow down to me as you should. I have had enough of her incessant mockery whenever she had the slightest chance to. Jeez! Someone needed to caution her, for fuck’s sake. But for no
