Viel was awakened by Jasmine's movements while sleeping. He chuckled as he finds it cute. He blushed when he saw their state and their clothes that are scattered on the floor, nonetheless, last night was majestic for both of them. He hugged her tightly and kisses her exposed shoulder, he smirked as he smelled his scent lingering on her body. He gives her dozens of kisses on her exposed neck waking her up.
Jasmine opened her eyes and found Viel hugging her tightly while planting kisses on her neck. She smiles at him and hugs him back. She blushed as she notices all the scratches Viel had on his biceps. As for Viel, he cannot help but laugh as he saw her flustered face.
"Stop laughing!" Jasmine yelled and tried to cover her blushing face.
"I miss you." Viel told her and remove her hand away from her face.
Jasmine looks at him in his eyes and sees the emotion of longingness in his beautiful amber eyes. She kisses his forehead and hugs him again. Jasmine wants him to know how much she loves him.
"I miss you too. I love you." She answered back and rest her head on his exposed chest.
"I love you too, my jasmine." Viel responded and brush his fingers on her wavy hair.
The couple stayed in their position, embracing each other, and loving the peaceful atmosphere they currently have. Both of them knew, that they need to pass all the obstacles that will be on their way and one of them is to convince his parents to cancel his engagement. Even though Viel never agreed on the engagement, he still wanted his parents to give him permission on marrying the girl he loves. He would not want to make Jasmine feel uncomfortable because her in-laws are against her.
As for Jasmine she also agrees with his plan. She wanted to marry this man with his parent's permission.
"What do you want for breakfast?" Jasmine asked her boyfriend.
"Anything as long as you made it." Viel told her truthfully.
Jasmine chuckled at his answer and start preparing herself to cook for their breakfast.
"Wait, I do not know if we still have groceries left?" Viel hesitantly informed his girlfriend.
"Oh? Was that a question or not?"
"Let shop for groceries." Viel answered and hugged her from the back.
Jasmine chuckled at his actions and went to the bathroom to take a bath. While Viel waited for her to finish before coming inside. They went to the near supermarket together. There had been dozens of cameras flashing towards them. Most of the people they met complimented how sweet the couple look and Viel loves this especially he could see how Jasmine's face turn to red.
"You are loving this don't you?" Jasmine whispered at him.
"Yeah, love." He said and fixed her bangs, Jasmine blushed as she felt as if her heart melted.
"Do you know how surprised I was when I saw you with bangs?" Viel whispered to her.
"You look so beautiful at that event, the one thing I did not like was when you dance with that guy." Viel added and pouted.
"You do not have to be jealous of Dave." She told him.
"He likes you. I could see that." He added.
"But I do not." Jasmine said and smiled as she saw him blush.
"You are blushing." Jasmine teased and pinched his boyfriend's cheeks and continue shopping for groceries.
It is funny how this simple activity had become one of their bonding moments.
"I am very happy that even if you forget me, you still love me." Viel told her out of the blue.
"As they say, the mind forgets but the heart does not." Jasmine answered and smiled at him.
When they finished shopping, they headed back to their home and help one another in cooking breakfast. Viel cooked chorizo, sunny side eggs, ham, and bacon. While Jasmine toasted buns and sandwiches while waiting for the water to boil.
The couple had shared a loving breakfast and proceeded to have their date after Jasmine's therapy to celebrate this day.
Viel and Jasmine went to places that they have been to during their first anniversary. And without Jasmine's knowledge, Viel covers her eyes with his hands while they enter a building.
Jasmine gasped when she saw a big house in front of her. She felt her eyes sweat when she saw who the owners are. It was her and Viel.
"I bought this after I caught the private investigator that you hired to spy on me." Viel told her and Jasmine hit him slightly as she tried to hold her tears.
"This will be our house when we go out of town with our kids. I want four." Viel teased and this made her hit him.
"Just two!" She yelled while showing her two fingers.
"Okay, okay. You are the boss." Viel teased her and plant a kiss on her forehead.
The couple smiled as they felt this was the most perfect day.
On the other hand, Monica is with his father together with Viel's parents. She had told them everything, starting from Jasmine remembering everything. Her father is mad, as he knows that Viel another woman just slapped her precious daughter and barged into her boutique.
"Amigo, I never knew that your son likes associating with an uneducated lady." He angrily said.
As for Viel's father, he is ashamed of his son's decisions in life. He could not understand why his son is too stubborn, cannot Viel understand that everything is just for his sake?
"I am deeply sorry; I am ashamed of him. We really need to break them up." Viel's father said in agreement.
"Has Monica tried to talk with Viel?"
"I always try, Auntie. But he kept avoiding me and pretending I do not exist!" Monica yelled in frustration.
"Monica, lower your voice. The one who you are talking to is your future mother-in-law." Viel's father speaks in such authority.
"I hope you could also say that to your son! Gregor, if my daughter and your son would not marry by the end of the year. I will remove all my shares in your company!" Monica's father threatened him and grabbed Monica away leaving Viel's parents devastated.
While Monica is shocked by his father's statement.
"Father, are you sure he would marry me with that?" Monica asked him.
"If that bastard would not want to see their company go bankrupt, he will!" The father assured his daughter. Monica smiled in triumph as she knows how important the company is to Viel. She is sure, one of them will give up just in time.
Back to Jasmine and Viel's date. Viel kept ignoring the missed calls he had received from his parents. He tried to keep his smile every time Jasmine look at him, but this does not fool Jasmine anymore.
"Tell me what is bothering you." Jasmine confronts him.
"They are calling." He confessed.
"Well, let meet them." Jasmine told him bravely.
Viel was shocked by his girlfriend's actions.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am. From now on, I will fight with you. We will be each other's soldiers." Jasmine told him and hugged him.
The couple went to the Salvador Company and met with Viel's parents. Jasmine noticed how stressed the old couple is.
"Mother, Father. This is Jasmine, my girlfriend." Viel greeted them but he was greeted with his father's fist.
"Viel!" Jasmine called him worriedly, Viel hold her hand tightly and smiled at her.
"Break up now." His mother commanded.
"No, we would not." Viel bravely answered.
"Don't you dare to disobey us!" His mother yelled in such grace.
Jasmine holds his hand tightly as she swallowed nervously, this was the time she kept giving up but as she promised this time, she will be brave and fight back.
"I love your son." She said bravely.
"You mean his money?" Viel's mother retorted.
"I love him by who he is and not by his status." She answered back and this made Viel smile.
"I love her also." Viel supported her and hold her waist.
His parents frown while looking at them. His father's face became red because of anger.
"Choose Viel Salvador. That girl or us and the company." His father started making him choose.
Jasmine paled as she never expected to come to this moment where they will make him choose.
"I told you, trust my skills and I could save the company." Viel exclaimed, he loved the company. He grew up from it.
"I command you to choose!" His father scolded him.
Viel paled as his tears starts falling from his eyes. Jasmine notices this and starts to loosen her hold on his hand, but Viel grabbed her hand and holds her tightly.
"I will prove to you that I have what it takes to be successful and to lead a company by my skills." Viel calmly told his father.
"Is that so? Then do it. Don't you ever use the name of Salvador again, and do not expect you will receive a single penny from us!" His father warned him, both Jasmine and his mother were shocked by his statement.
"Do not also dare to step into my mansion and the mansion you are currently staying in!"
"Gregor!" His mother yelled in disbelief, while Viel nodded and grabbed Jasmine away from them leaving the company.
Jasmine and Viel went to Jasmine's condo unit to stay for a while after having all their stuff removed from the mansion. Jasmine hugged Viel as she saw him break down into tears.
"I love you and I believe in you.' She whispered hoping it will ease her pain. "Hold on, Viel." She continued.
"I will." Viel softly said and rest his head on her chest while Jasmine pats his head and plant a kiss on him to make him feel love and comfort him.
