Jasmine kneeled on the floor while Alexander stood next to her. In an attempt to shield her but he didn't want to get in her way.
Hector stood up and slapped Jasmine hard as he could as Sara watched with a scowl.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean it!" Jasmine held her cheek after the intensity of the slap. She bit her inner cheek as she tilted her head to let blood spew out. Jasmine blue eyes flickered to Alexander blue ones as she plead for help. Alexander turned away to not endure his father's wrath.
"Didn't mean it!? You caused all this! We would have been fine if you weren't a sneaky whore! Sowing discord with the Gale family. Now our family won't be spared from Lucus gaze!" Hector grabbed Jasmine's hair pulling hard.
'Not even my own father lay hands on me! These people are evil' Her face was shrunken into fear with a horrible cry. All the faces around her were smiling in amusement at her fault in life. Even the maid that was sleeping with Julian, a lowly cheap chicken that became a false phoniex on a branch.
"I'm sorry!!" Jasmine screamed as she was dragged closer to the stairs only to be stopped by Alexander.
"Dad, stop Jasmine is technically my wife now, she is carrying our child!"
"When did you get married!" Cried Sara as she jumped out her seat. "Alexander! You're trying to give your parents a heart attack, right?"
"No, mom, we are married." Alexander pulled out two marriage certificates and Sara slumped back in her seat in shock.
"That whore is pregnant...again." Hector stopped as he let go of Jasmine and turned to Alexander with the most disgruntled look on his face.
"You married a cheap whore who brung our family down for revenge! Granted we want it but she brung us down so bad that she made me lose a child! She made me lose Regina!" Sara screamed as she rushed over to Jasmine only to be held back by Julian and Caterina.
"You caused Julian to be with a maid and marry a maid! I like this maid better to be a daughter-in-law at least she won't bring our family to ashes!"
"Mom, Jasmine said she's sorry..." Alexander shielded Jasmine as Sara still struggled.
"Sorry, doesn't begin to cover it...she made more deals with the Gales behind your back, ruin a wedding, cause your sister to be in jail and more...you are still defending her!? Shame on you!!"
"Isn't Sophia's and Lucus fault?!?" Alexander try to divert the blame, only making his family angry.
"Initially, yes, but your wife had a hand in planning with that Gale family!" yelled Hector as he pushed Alexander away from Jasmine causing her to get up quickly. As all hell was about to break lose, a hard knock on the door could be heard.
"Police, open up!".
Jasmine smiled to herself insanely as she knew the police came for her. She got up and slowly walked towards the door. As she laughed insanely, the whole family watched as she open the door.
"Jasmine Elderidge, you are under arrest, you have the right to remain silent." Jasmine was spunned around and was handcuffed. As she looked at Alexander with a brief smile.
'Now I see what Sophia had to deal with...but it's her fault to begin with to leave me with these demon people! I will get my revenge on her and them still!'
As the car drove off, the Elderidges look at each other in shock. Then Sara acknowledged that Jasmine is finally gone.
"Alexander, I'm setting you up on a blind date! No objections!" Sara yelled at the heartbroken boy.
"I'll wait for her!"
"No, you won't! Julian will also be my main beneficary as this house will be his and the family fortune. Let's plan Caterina and Julian's wedding!" Hector hummed. Everyone was happy the wretched girl was gone and Alexander was single for the time being.
Alexander trembled in anger as he walked back to his room alone hearing the cheering of the family and eager chatting. But the buzzing of the chatting is all he hears.
"Sophia...Jasmine...I can never love ever again."
*******************************************************
As Sophia watched the news of Jasmine's arrest, she felt relieved as she packed her bags. Sophia has been packing in the last two weeks, and Lucus has physical therapy more often. He was close to finishing, and a shopping trip was in order.
The turning of the faucet startled Sophia. A cleanly shaven and soft eyed Lucus walked out. Lucus glanced at the suitcases on the floor.
"Are you excited to go to Italy?" Sophia nodded as she was excited to have a roman holiday.
"I will love to enjoy where you grew up when you got sent away and where you came from." Sophia smiled as she packed away everything.
Sophia looked at Lucus quickly as she felt her stomach rumbled. She craved something but something bizzare. Pizza...? Soup? No, she craved something sweet.
"I want a piece of strawberry shortcake. Also, a slice of pineapple pizza. No, strawberry ice cream on pineapple pizza."
Lucus wanted to gag, but it's what his princess wants he shooed a maid away with the order to the kitchen.
An hour later, a pizza and ice cream was served.
"It's weird. Maybe my period is coming..." Sophia smiled and scraffed a slice.
Lucus was skeptical, but he shook his head. It's too soon for a child. It takes a while as he watched Sophia eat the pizza with a satsfied face.
"Satisfied?" Lucus pet her head as she was about to eat another slice.
"Yes." Sophia mummbled cutely.
"Tomorrow morning, we have to go shopping and at night we have our flight." Lucus hummed softly into Sophisa's ear as the maid took an empty tray away.
"Let's..." Lucus whispered as his breath softly whispered in Sophia's ear, causing her to get even more excited. "Go to bed!"
Lucus snickered as he dragged Sophia with him under the sheets.
"H-Hey! Don't touch there!I thought we were going to sleep!!"
"Doesn't mean I can't fondled my lover and cuddle her!"
Sophia whimpered with a pout as she blushed under the sheets. She closed her eyes in defeat.
"Okay~.
