"You?" I managed to say and the smile on his face vanished as he tucks one of his hands in his pocket.....that particular gesture is so freaking familiar
I thought he said he'd let me go?.
I thought he said he wouldn't report me?... what's going on?
Why is he here?... what does he want?.....how did he even find me?
I stood rooted in on the spot I was standing as I felt beards of sweat forming on my forehead.....I was hella nervous
He's just looking at me.....as if he's trying to process something about me and that's when it hit me
The fùcking picture Roland showed me... this jerk must be the son of the filthy rich billionaire
No way!!!...I suddenly started feeling uncomfortable with the way he is staring at me..... he's starting to scare me for real
"Can I talk to you?" His voice suddenly breaks my long train of thoughts as I blinked..... looking at him as he kept his eyes on me
"Why?" I asked and the thought of him being the son of Bartle Billion's made me sick in the stomach....I don't want to have anything to do with that family
He tilts his head backwards.... like he's shocked that I'm not bowing down to his command..... moving closer to me as I stepped back.... trying to create a safe distance between us...my eyes traveled and right there on the crock of his neck was a rose rose tattoo
Funny how my favorite flower is rose.....
I shook my head slightly as I focused on the hot figure in front of me..... trying not to lose control of myself
"Because I want to talk to you" he said with a smirk and I scoffed... looking at him from head to toe as I rolled my eyes..... there's no way I'm listening to whatever trash he has to say
"Can I have my purse now?....I don't want to talk to you" I said looking slightly pissed and he licked his lips slowly while a mocking smirk creeped on his face...I hated the fact that I find that kind of attracting
I get he's handsome and all.....but ewwww
I'm definitely not ready to let mama down...I made a fùcking promise to her on her death bed
"You obviously look like you need all the help you can get right now.....so instead of being an uptight pûssy....why don't you just listen to whatever I have to say?" He said calmly but I felt my blood boiling
I'm starting to wonder if there's a banner which "poverty" is inpreted and nailed to my forehead..... because this whole shit is starting to anoy me
"Just because I'm a waitress doesn't mean you have the right to talk down on me!.....I don't need your help!" I snapped at him and he tilts his head backwards....but this time it's in a more mocking manner
My purse was still with him and he's holding onto it pretty tight
"You seriously need all the help you can get.....I mean look at you" he said and I gasped staring down at myself
He's right.....I do look like an abandoned sack of potatoes.....I looked like a mess.....my shoes are nothing to write home about and I'm wearing a uniform
"Fùck off!" I said.... yanking my bag from him as I made to leave but he blocked my path
I looked at him and he was smriking....both hands tucked into the pocket of his hoodie...but dang....he's broad....I tried moving the other way but he wouldn't let me go
"What exactly is the color of your problem!?...I don't wanna to have anything to do with you so just leave me be!!!!" I bursted out and he smiles
Why is he smiling?
What's funny about what I said?....I rubbed my forehead as I tapped my feet in irritation
"I want us to have a simple deal...I need your help and I'm willing to pay handsomely for it" he said with a cocky smrik and I felt like throwing up on his face
I tilted my head mockingly..... while trying to process the rubbish that just came out of his lips
"I don't want your stupid money or deal!.....stay away from me!" I said angrily but it seems like the more I get angry.....the more he smiles
He seems to be enjoying my pains and irritation
"Aren't you tired of being a waitress...or pay to live in your own father's house?.....huh?... answer me Jasmine" he said and my jaw dropped instantly as I blinked repeatedly in shock
How did he know all of this?
How did he know my name?....
I simply stood gumbstruck as his smrik got thicker making his dark orb eyes darker than it was before.....we both have the same eyes orbs but that's not the point right now
I shifted backwards and he came closer... pushing my fustrations to it's limit
"How did..... you.... know?" I stuttered almost inaudibly..... trying to figure out what this man right in front of me is up to
"I don't think that's important right now.....but rather what am asking.....so are you in or not?" He said and I scoffed
Adjusting my purse as I kept my gaze fixed on him
He's obviously an arrogant, rude son of a filthy billionaire and he definitely has no regards for anyone whatsoever....I don't want to have anything to do with someone like him
Mama's promise is way important to me
I don't know what his family did but I don't care to know either
"You can shove your deals down your throat I don't care... and I'm certainly not going to be a party to whatever mischievous schemes you are planning so fuck off my life and stop stalking me!" I said as I brushed past him but he held the collar of my shirt as he dragged me backwards with ease
My mouth was wide open as he did that...it felt as if he wants to pull me off the ground
I stood right in front of him but this time it was even closer.....he tucks his hands back into his pockets
That's definitely an habit he loves doing everytime
"What do you want!?" I bursted angrily and he pulled out my right hand..... placing a card on it..... it's obviously his personal card
"Call me" he said and I scoffed loudly
"I won't!... because I'm never going to!" I said and he smriks
"Let's see about that" he said and I shoved him out of the way... making sure my shoulders hit him even though he's way bigger than me.....who cares?...he didn't even feel anything as I frowned walking away as fast as I can.....
I badly wanted to throw the card away but it'd not like he's important anyway..... stuffing it in my purse as I try to get what just happened off my mind
What nerves?... I'm not some cheap commodity he can just place a price tag on...for fúck sakes this like this only happens in movies and comics... this is reality
I sighs heavily.... taking a shorter cut

✨Jayson's Pov✨
I smriked as I watched her leave..... there's something about her that just excites the rigid part of me
Her boldness and fiesty attitude never cease to amaze me
Tucking my hands back into my pocket as I remembered how I vividly forced Noah to get all the necessary informations about her
"But dude!..... she's not worth it..... she's not even up to your class!... let's find someone else"
Noah lamented but I didn't want to listen.....I know what I want and something tells me that she'll be perfect for the job
I want someone with strong intuition and stamina..... someone who will easily blend with my mother
She's crazy.....my mother is also crazy... It's a perfect combo
I made sure I digged into everything that has to do with her
I couldn't get much...but I got enough to know that there's something definitely off somewhere
That's invasion of privacy but who cares?.....I need her.....well she needs me more
A slight smile creps on my face as I watched her take another route.....she thinks she can hide from me?....how cute
Pulling out my phone as I made Noah come get me....I just can't help but wonder
I found out some things about her that made me drawn to her....
Shaking off the thoughts as Noah pulled up.....I entered..... taking off my hoodie completely
"You do know she's not realiable right?....I saw her reaction...she doesn't seem interested in anything that has to do with you" Noah said and I smriked
"I'm not after her just because of my mother.... there's something else that draws my interest.....she might be the one" I said and Noah ignited the car as we drove off
"Are you sure?... she doesn't look like what I remembered" he said and I frowned a little..... he's right though
"But she's giving me that crazy vibe.....I can see it through her...you don't think two people with the exact same energy exists right?" I asked and he chuckled as he focused on the road
"I don't think so... she's obviously not who you think she is" he said and I stroked my chin thoughtfully
"That's why I'm curious to know more about her.... you'd really think I will just go after some random girl just like that?....." I asked and he kind of seems to be amused by my statement
"We both know you can't resist anything that's on skirts " he said and I laughed a little..... he's also right
"You are crazy" I muttered
"Just don't over think it.... I'm pretty sure she's not the one" he said and I almost agreed with him but the mind knows what it wants
"She might not be the one but still...I just have to....I really need to know the truth" I said and he nods slightly
Looking out the window as i tried to get my shît together... God help me that this little plan of mine works out
★★★
I got out of the car as I head straight for the main building...I may be a little bit reckless but I still know the value of hardwork
I've always been passionate about business... owning one and building an empire of my own
But at the same time.....I like sprinkling a little bit of fun and wild adventures.....that really makes my life exciting
"You know I'm on hold for now..... just reschedule everything till I'm fully on seat and then we'll talk" I said over the phone as I hung up
My mom made sure I no longer have access to any of my Dad's businesses till this whole drama of getting married ends....I just hope my plan works
I opened the door and stepped in.... only to find Gina sitting down while watching a movie... immediately she saw me she sprints on her feet.....a vile smile on her face as she clucked her hands together
"Big bro..... you are home, finally" she said with a chuckle but noticed there wasn't a smile on my face
"What are you doing here?" I asked coldly and she frowned
"You can't seriously be asking me that question?..... I'm your little sister..... don't I have the right to come here whenever I want?" She asked looking at me with her eyes wide open
I sighed as I lowered myself on the couch tiredly...
"You foolishly told Mom about this place right?... you just can't keep your mouth shut" I said and she pouted her lips childishly
"I'm sorry but she wouldn't let me be so I had to tell her.... don't get mad" she said and I rolled my eyes....she immediately jumped besides me
"Gina, please just go..... I'm tired" I said and she frowned harder
"Well... Mandy wants to know how you've been... that's why I decided to come check up on you.....you know how attached she is to you right?" She said as she plays with my hand
"Why didn't she just call me if she really wanted to know?...why send you?" I asked and she looks away before facing me again
"That's not the point.... what's important is that I'm here and you look just fine" she said
"Yeah..... and that's why you have to leave because you are not needed here" I said brashly and she gasped dramatically while holding her chest
"That's harsh!..... I'm not leaving" she said and I stood up
"Suit yourself" I muttered asci started heading for my room
"Who's she?....the girl Mom said you are bringing on two days?..... who's the?" She asked and I turned sharply...I knew that's exactly what brought her here
"It's non of your business" I said plainly and she scoffed
"It's definitely my business because I'm not just going to sit down and watch you bring in some street rat!... Mandy deserves to be with you and you know it!" She suddenly bursted out and I chuckled at her guts
Gina had always been known to have a wide mouth and she uses it very well...too well if I may say
"Since when did you get to tell me what to do?... remember who you are..... you are my little sister... don't fùcking cross your boundaries!!!" I yelled and she flinched slightly
"But bro....how do you think Mandy is going to feel if she heard this?... she's going to break down" she said and I ruffled my hair
"What Mandy and I had was nothing serious...she can't pin anything on me because I don't feel anything for anyone.... and I stick to my decision" I said and she claps her hands mockingly
"Wow.... just so you know..... I'm not going to make this easy for you and I'll make sure whoever you are bringing here goes back to wherever she belongs!" She said as she breaths heavily
"Get out" I simply said and her jaw hardened
"Don't you dare walk away..... I'm not done talking" she said and I chuckled
"But I'm done listening to your nonsense so out the door you go... and don't you dare do anything stupid" I said sterning as I walked up the stairs
"Jayson!!!!!!.... come back here!!!!!" She yells after me but I ingnored her completely
"He can't really be serious about ditching Mandy right?... fúck!... what am I going to do?" She said as she paced round the living room as she but the tip of her fingers in anxiety

I walked sluggishly as the encounter with the mystery rich guy hunts my mind..... taking each steps as a familiar feeling crept in
"Do I know him?" I asked no one in particular as I pulled out the card he gave me
"Jayson Bartel" I called out as I stared hard on the card
He's really arogant and I don't even want to think about him so much
I flipped my hair as my phone binged and it was a message from the manager... Avia
I rolled my eyes as I opened the message and that almost took my life away
📱Dear esteemed staffs....we the management team of M&K CLASSIC RESORT have come to an agreement that the salaries for the next few months will be delayed due to some unforeseen circumstances..... this applies to all staff so please bare with us as we go through this rough time.
I paused for a while before reality began to hit me hard
Our salaries for the next few months will be delayed?....why?..... how?...how will I survive till then!?
This is the shîtty problems that comes with working for a private figure
What am I going to do now?....the air seems to be getting thiner as another text from Mika came
📱 Bîtch I'm so done with this fùcking job!..... like wtf!?... salary delayed for few months!?...I haven't even received this month's salary....how am I going to survive!!!!!!?
I read her text and a panic attack surged through me as another text from Roland came
📱 Jasmine I'm definitely quitting this job by tomorrow..... I'm so done and I can't continue living like this
I tucked my phone back into my purse as I tried to stop myself from crying
All my friends are fed up and I know Avia is the one who masterminded this whole shît
Must she taunt me?.... it's painful that I share the same blood with her and we act as if we don't know each other but it still hurts
Seeing someone close to me hurting me.... just like my wicked uncle.....I know they intentionally planned this just to kick me out of the house
I clenched my fists as tears started steaming down but I didn't bother to clean them
Opening the gigantic gate as I walked in...I immediately headed for the courtyard as I met my uncle standing there already
I swallowed hard.... standing a few steps away as a creepy smile forms on his face
That's exactly the creppy smile I have grown to get accustomed to....I don't know how but I'm definitely going to kill this man for ruin my innocence
I'm going to make him pay for everything he's ever done to me
"You will only wish and imagine but you can't really do anything to me Jasmine" he said as if he could read my thoughts and I walked closer
"What are you doing here?" I asked as if I had no clue of what he wanted
"I should be the one asking you that question....you refused to my offer and you still don't wanna pay up your rent.....you don't have any business here" he said and I felt my heart quake
"Don't you have any ounce of shame!!!?.....for fúck sakes, I'm your daughter's age.... I'm technically your daughter and all you can think of is to continue sleeping with me!!!...I can't do that shît anymore" I said as I felt my heart shattering
"You know the deal..... it's either you do my bidding or get lost.....the choice is yours to make..." He said walking away.....I felt like squeezing his head into a big bulb
He stopped midway and turned
"And one more thing... don't you ever dare compare my daughter to your worthless self" he said and walked away
I felt my head spinning as I walked to the door and tried opening it but it was jammed locked
The cloud suddenly turned hazel as the sky got dark
It's going to rain... and I'm locked out
I felt my intestines churned as I quickly pulled out my pills... taking a tablet as I placed it on my tongue
My hands were shaking as I felt my anxiety rising... I'm stressed out and my phobia of rain is making me feel lightheaded
The pill melted in my mouth as I flopped on the ground..... taking out the card
Mama's promise..... damn
I'm stuck and helpless and this is my last hope
He said he's willing to pay handsomely and I really do need all the help I could get
What mess do I want to get myself into?
I felt my anxiety reducing as the pill takes it's effect.... It started raining and thanks to the little space on the porch....I was able to squeeze myself as I folded
Droplets of rain hit my skin and I became cold..... folding into my warmth as I shivered slightly
The images of my Dad losing control over the wheel as we crashed right into a huge tree... the sirens....the cold hospital..... everything about my past stars flooding my mind as I pulled out my phone with shaky hands
It's now or never Jasmine.
