Dropping the phone call after agreeing to meet one on one with Jayson Bartel
Why did I even felt special?
For me to even think he'd give me his personal line is the highest illusion of my entire life
Like what was I thinking?..... I'm just a poor street rat and I expect that the son of a filthy rich billionaire is going to lower his standards for me?
I'm such a dreamer
The rain got heavier by the minute as I got drenched completely
"My phone....." I trailed as I tucked it in my purse..... hugging myself tightly as the heavy rain drops hits the ground agressively as I shivered biting my lips together as I tried not to give in into the urge of reminiscing about the past
A black car suddenly pulled up as I shiverishly stood up....my purse was damn wet and so am I
The window winde down a little and I recognized his face immediately
It's the peaksqueak that wanted to report me earlier.....I frowned as he honked on the horn
I stood ridgid as I shivered slightly.....
Hope am not making the biggest mistake of my life?
What am I doing?...is it right?
What plans does this rich guy has?...but he's willing to pay
Pay just enough to make me stop getting drenched by the rain....the pains... harassments
He honked the horn again and poked his head closer
"I don't got all day, you know?" He said with a furball look and I blinked repeatedly... coming out of my thoughts as I dragged myself towards the car
Damn I'm wet..... I'm literally dripping....my hair is also a soaked mess
I entered the car and felt a squesshing funny sound...I was kinda embarrassed though but I acted up as if I wasn't bothered about my dampness
He ignited the car and started off..... looking out from the window as I saw my uncle piercing gaze at me...I gulped down as I looked back at him
He seems rather surprised as we both shared an intense gaze
"That must be your Dad?" He asked suddenly and my head snapped towards him
I didn't know how or what to feel at the moment.....my lips parted slightly as we got on the main road
" I wish..." I trailed with a blank expression on my face and he furrowed his eyebrows
"I'm guessing you both aren't on good terms...why did he lock you out?" He asked again and I shifted uncomfortably.....my àss guming to the leather seat
"I'd rather not talk about it" I said plainly and he scoffs...I shifted my gaze to the rare mirror up top and I instantly had a dislike for him..... I'm pretty sure we are definitely not going to get along well
The rest of the ride was super boring and quiet as he focused on the road while I drown in my thoughts
A huge lump form in my throat as I stared at no one in particular... Avia really knows how to torment me no doubt but still.....we are family and even though I wanna hit her so badly.....I just can't
Growing up we used to be very close.....we did everything thing together.....we were best friends but suddenly she started distancing herself
My mom would usually tell me not to worry that everything would be fine but things only got worse and after the death of my parents... Avia just shut me out and started tormenting me.... just like her Dad
The great friendship we had shattered completely and we became pure enemies...I just wished she has told me why she changed
Till this very moment she hates my guts and I have no other option than to return the exact same energy
The car halted and I stepped out... Was I expecting him to open the door for me?..... Stop dreaming Jasmine
The heavy rain pour has deduced to just showers and the whole place was quite dark.....must be close to 7pm already
I couldn't help but get mesmerized by the beauty of this penthouse..... It's deco is a masterpiece.....must have cost a fortune purchasing this
I snapped out of my thoughts as he led me in and I almost sigh... My foot hurt and I felt like passing out due to the cold
The living room was empty as he started walking up the stairs... He could have just told me to follow him.... Punk
I immediately followed him as we got to the third room..... there were six rooms facing each other.... three on the left while three on the right
"You can change in there" he said pointing to the third room on the right and I nod slightly
He simply walked away and I inhaled deeply..... Facing the room as I slowly opened it..... I gasped in shock as I walked in fully
Am I in paradise?... This place is fùcking bungers..... Damn
I walked in and shut the door.... Making sure I bolted it... I don't want no invasion of privacy to my naked self..... I walked to the huge dressing mirror as I placed my purse on the extremely beautiful table..... Everything about this place spells luxury
I once used to live in luxury but life happened
I dipped my hand in my hair and head for the bathroom immediately..... Striping off my wet clothes as I brushed myself completely..... I feel so dirty despite the fact I was literally drenched by the rain
I couldn't get enough of the comfort..... It was soothing my spirit and I didn't want to come out but like all things..... It must come to an end
I stepped out of the bathroom in a sparkling white towel..... It was super fluffy and soothing to my skin
My hair was tied up as well as I walked towards the closet... Does he even have female wears?
I opened the closet and staggered backwards due to awe and shock
Inside were neatly arranged sweatshirts I'm different sizes and colors
I walked in and thank God there was a mirror... Flipping into a blue sweatshirt and I frowned
It's a bit light and my boobs were perking out..... It was very clear and obvious as it stood perfectly
I changed into a pink sweatshirt and it was baggy..... I don't like baggy clothes... It's simply not my style
I changed into a red sweatshirt and my boobs were clearly visible... It's a woolen sweatshirt and it's a bit transparent
"Why does he even have this much sweatshirts?" I mumbles I picked a gray sweatshirt and it looked okay
"Finally" I said exhaustedly as I walked out..... Not bothering to put on the sweatpants because it was big enough..... Ending right on my knees.... I stood in front of the mirror this time taking out my phone and it was soaked
"What the fúck!!!?" I semi yelled..... My phone is soaked as well?
Why is everything turning up side down in my life?
Sighing tiredly as a knock landed on the door and I traced my gaze towards it
Reluctantly dragging myself as I opened the door slightly and there he was... The henchman
"Sir Jayson wants you downstairs now" he said and turned instantly
I instantly knew we were definitely not going to be friends because I'm not feeling his energy at all... He's giving me the cold shoulder for some reason and as expected..... I'm also down for whatever he wants
I looked at my phone before walking out the door... Taking a few steps as I head down the stairs
I hope this is worth it

✨Jayson's Pov ✨
I watched her as she assended the stairs... Her hair was obviously damp and for some reason she's really looking good in the sweatshirt that landed right before her knees
Her eyes landed on mine and I shifted uncomfortably... She's looking quite inresistable
She looks rebellious and I know I would have to put on a lot of work to get her under control but I was willing to risk it..... She sat down and my eyes landed on the beautiful charm bracelet on her right hand
That bracelet?... It can't be
" So why am I here?" She asked breaking my chain of thousands thoughts as I finally looked at her face
"I want to hire you" I said and she furrows her eyebrows... Crossing her legs as she sat up
"This place doesn't look like an office... So what are you saying?" She asked and I ruffled my hair
"Whoever said it's an office work?" I said and she opened her mouth to say something but closed it after a few seconds
"Dude..... What exactly am I doing here then?" She asked slightly pissed and her red lips fuised together in irritation and that got me..... But that's not important right now
"This is what I need you for" I said... Tossing a paper towards her and she stretches a little bit..... Giving me a side eye look as she takes the paper
I rested fully on the couch with a smirk as she looks at me before reading
"Hell no!!!" She suddenly bursted as she flings the paper while standing up roughly
I actually expected that though
"There's no way I'm going to pose as you finacee that's never going to happen" she said as she folded her hands together as I smiled.... Looking at the helpless paper on the floor
I heard a little chuckle from Noah and I glared at him before facing the raging damsel in front of me
"Buttercup I'm not forcing you..... neither am I begging you.... This is a mutual deal that we'll both benefit from immensely... Of course if you aren't tired of being poor" i said and she looks at me
"You are rude!!!!!" She bursted out again and I rubbed my forehead
"And you are being annoying... It's just a simple task what's so hard in it?.... Besides I'm ready to change your life for good... It's more of a win-win for you!" I snapped and she gulped down as she slowly sat down
"Then stop making it seem as if I'm your pet or anything" she mumbles and I couldn't believe this girl in front of me
"I never said you were my pet" I said and she rolled her eyes
"So what's going to be my part of the bargain?" She asked and I smriked.... Tossing another paper at her
She looks at me instinctively before taking the paper and reading through
Her jaw dropped instantly as she stares at me
"All these..... For me?" She asked in awe
She can be really cute sometimes... That's if she's not being a fire breathing dragon
"And more...if you are ready to play along and keep your mouth shut" I said and she drops the paper
"Fine.... Since it's just for a day I don't see what could possibly go wrong" she said and I smiled
Funny how she bursted out angrily a few minutes ago
"Good..... Tomorrow is the D day... And I'm sure you know what to do" I said and she stood up... Her sweatshirt raising a little bit as she placed her hands on her tiny waist
"Fine I got it" she said and I simply left
I didn't want to waste much time besides she's a grown ass girl..... She definitely needs to understand the business
I got to my room and flopped on my bed.... She will only be here for a day and after tomorrow she'll be out of my life parmanently
The amount I'm offering her should be enough to get her through the month.... It's a huge amount and she seems satisfied with it... Who cares?
"Just breathe and relax.... It's just tomorrow and everything will be over..... You will get to handle the business again and she will be gone for good" I said to myself as I tried to calm my nervousness
I didn't even show her where she would spend the night but is that really necessary?
Sighing as I layed in my bed comfortably
"She's really attractive though" I subconsciously said out loud and covered my mouth immediately I did that
Sitting up from my bed as walked up to my draw and opened it..... Right there was a rusty picture of little me and my childhood bestfriends... The three of us smiling brightly and there she was in the middle..... smiling brightly as she clutched onto the three of us.... pulling us closely as our heads joined
Mandy had a frown but later smiled a little as we were captured... A neat clear shot of our childhood bickering
I smiled weakly as I placed the picture back and shut the draw
A terrible incident that almost claimed my life but unfortunately it took her away from me forever
I lost all forms of emotions as I became a shadow of myself.... Shutting my heart against the world

★Lone Apartment★
In a small room..... A portable small TV at the top end with small chairs 3 in number
A mini refrigerator close to the chairs
A comfortable place for the one who seeks vengeance
"You've been here for two weeks and I've not seen any action.... Aren't you the almighty one?" Laurence said and he chuckled before staring at him
"You know me too well..... I don't rush my things..... They have no idea I'm here" he said and Laurence smriks
"You found her already..... Man we came here to do a simple task... Kill them all and flee.... I still don't get why you aren't doing anything yet" Laurence said and he shot him a glare
"I was too quick to carry out my plan years ago and now I've learnt my mistake... I'm not rushing besides I still need to wait a little bit before I strike" he said and Laurence rubs his forehead
"If by any chance anyone finds out you are here... You know what's going to happen" Laurence said and he smriks
"Awww calm down... She's still has innocent as she was years ago..... Nothing has changed..... I recognized her from the first day I set my eyes on her and that's why I personally made sure Avia made them meet..... My plan is slowly falling into place" he said and Laurence smriks
"Now that they've met..... What's going to happen next?" Laurence asked and he stroked his chin
"Now I'll patiently wait for Mantinda to carry out her foolish plan..... And when the coast is clear.... I strike and take what's rightfully mine" he said and Laurence smriks as he nods his head
Things are about to get really messy

🌹Jasmine's Pov 🌹
I woke up with a small smile plastered on my face... For the first time in a long time things are finally going smoothly
Rubbing my eyes as I yawned loudly... The bed was super fluffy and I slept like a new born baby
I remembered my spoilt phone and it almost ruined my morning
I haven't heard from Mika and Roland since yesterday and I'm really sure they are worried about me..... Oh well I'm definitely going to meet up with them after my little mission
I head for the bathroom and in a few minutes I was out..... But I almost jolted in shock as I met him standing right in my room
"What are you doing here?" I suddenly blurted out before I could stop myself
"I believe I have a right to this room since you are working for me" he said with a smirk and I frowned
"What if I was naked?....you can't just barge in however you please" I said again with a little bit of sas in my voice
"Jasmine know your place in here" I scolded myself but I wasn't ready to listen as well
"I wonder what the sight would have been like..... I'm pretty sure it will be worth seeing" he said and I almost puked
Glaring daggers at him as I shifted backwards... I hated men with nasty thoughts... It instantly irritates me
"Sir I would appreciate that you talk with a sense of responsibility" I said and he scoffs
"The name is Jayson" he said and I blinked slightly... shaking the thoughts off and I know he would want to know my name too
"My name is Jasmine Corey" I said and he suddenly fidgeted as he opens his mouth to say something but was having difficulties saying it
"Your name is Jasmine?" He asked again and I nod
He suddenly composed himself as he cleared his throat
"We will be meeting my mom today..... your outfit will be brought to you and I expect you to be done in thirty minutes" he said sterning and I gasped
"Thirty minutes!?" I semi yelled and he simply walked out
Okay now I'm really angry.... All these commands just for a couple of dollars?
I exhale deeply as I felt a light bang in my chest and I slowly took in deep breaths
I'm getting stressed again and this usually happens each time I cross my limits
The door opened and there girls walked in.... I was looking confused as they brought in different designs and make up kits
"What are you doing here?" I asked bluntly and I mentally facepalm myself.... Why do I feel entitled over something I don't have?
"We are here to get you ready" the petite one said and I stood with my mouth wide open
They stood with their hands tucked in front..... bowing slightly as I suddenly felt like a princess from an unknown kingdom
I can never get used to this no matter how hard I try.
