✨Jayson's Pov ✨
What!?
What in the hèlls name is going on?
I stood rooted in my spot as she slowly let's go of my chin, staring back at my shocked face, I couldn't say anything, and if I actually could, what will I say?
But my heart aches to say something, my lips want to say something, I want to say something but no words are coming through, and with the way she's staring at me and that mind blowing kiss we just had, I feel like there's something else coming for me, and it's not good
"You've regained your memory?" I asked foolishly, damnit Jay!, That's not how the question should come out, that's not what I meant to ask, fúck it!
"You knew?, you knew what we once shared and you didn't tell me?" She sounded hurt, and I'm hurting but I just couldn't risk hurting her in the process
"Baby, listen..." I trail as I grabbed both of her hands, squeezing them softly as she stared at me with tears in her eyes " I badly wanted to tell you, trust me when I say I really wanted you to know about us, our past, the sweet young love we shared, but at the same time I just couldn't risk hurting you, if I had told you or forced you to remember, that would have turned out really bad and I don't want to lose you" I poured my heart out and she smiles, sniffing as she looks up at me
"I can't believe I've been living with my baby crush for months now, I remember everything, I remember every single details about us and here I was wondering how I knew you how you liked sweets instead of actual food" she choked out with a smile
"I also suspected something too when you crushed all those questions" I said and she smiles but it soon faded as she pulled her hands away
"But, I don't think we should be together, not after what your family did to me, I lost my parents because of your family" she suddenly blurted and fúck me for not thinking about it
"Star, we can talk about this, let's not rush into conclusions yet" I said agitatedly and she shook her head
"My mom warned me before she died, I didn't know why but now that I remember everything, I just can't look at you with the same eyes anymore, your brother killed my parents!, He shattered me completely and made me an orphan!" She yells, she actually yelled as she pulled away from me, emptying me immediately as my eyes heated up
"And I promised to find him and kill him for hurting you, but just don't do anything that would hurt us, please, don't leave me.... I love you" I stuttered, almost biting my tongue in the process because of how messed up I feel
"But it's not that easy to just let you go either, your family did me dirty, I'm a rotten mess because of what your brother did, he killed my parents, and he's here!, He's in Nevada and I didn't know, I would have killed him with my bare hands" she voiced out and my ears twitches
Jasper is here?, That bloody bastard is here?
"Did you just say he's in Nevada?, Are you really sure about what you just said?" I asked carefully, trying not to irritate her
"We work in the same resort, I was super close to the bastard!, He comforted me when no one else did, Jasper is here and I feel like he was just pretending to like me so he can finally finished what he started..... I'm so going to kill him!" She bursted out and I pulled her close, hugging her dearly as she weeped in my arms and I stroked her hair
"It's okay Star, I promise to kill him for you, I will end his stupid life right in front of your eyes, he deserves death, and he's going to get it" I muttered as suddenly anguish flooded my entire system, opening locked hatered, paving ways for new ideas of hunting that sly bastard and end his stupid life for good
"You promise?" She sniffled and I nod, kissing the top of her hair as she hugged me tightly
Will this new revelation affect our relationship?, How come I've never thought about this and now everything is going so fast

"Smart move, bro!" Laurence cheers as they entered the apartment, Avia is currently sitting on the couch looking pale as she crossed her legs together
"I told you it would be easy, now that's she's safe, it's time to focus on plan B" Jasper said with a smirk as Avia continue to stare at the both of them
"Everything is set, all thanks to my baby sister over here" Laurence cheers again and Avia glared at him
"Don't you dare talk to me" Avia said with a scrowl as she glared daggers at the both of them
"Awwwwn, why are looking like a sad girl on Christmas morning?" Jasper teased and Avia glared harder
"Shouldn't a girl on Christmas morning be happy?" Laurence asked amusingly as he flops besides her but she shifted slightly, creating a distance between them
"Well, imagine she's weird and have no friends" Jasper said and Laurence started laughing
"Would you two just shut up!?, My Dad is dead all because of your stupid plans, listen I don't think I can do this anymore, I'm out!" Avia thundered as she stood up but Laurence pulled her hair backwards, making her to release an agonizing scream as she falls on the couch, grabbing her head in pains
"Stop being foolish for once Avia!, I've worked so hard to come this far and I won't let you jinx it!, If you try to sabotage my plans then get ready to face me because I'm not going to spare your life!" Laurence snearled as Avia backed up immediately, hugging her legs as she glued herself to the couch
"She's just being naive, listen princess, once we're done with your cousin and my brother, you will understand better, just stay out of our way" Jasper voiced with zero emotions
"She doesn't have a choice because she won't leave this house until we are done" Laurence smriks and Avia's eyes widened
"You can't hold me captive you bloody fool!, I don't care about whatever it is you both have going on just don't involve me okay!?, It's already bad enough that you killed our father and now you want to kidnap me?, I'm not staying in this goddamn hole!, I have a house and I've got a good paying job so to hell with your stupid plans!" Avia said non stop as both boys stared at her with bored expressions on their faces
"Are you done blabbing?, You want to say more?" Jasper said sarcastically and Avia glared at him
"Try leaving then....the door is wide open" Laurence grined and she tactically stood up, staring at both of them before rushing towards the door and pulling it but it won't open, she tried again and again making both boys burst into a mocking laughter
"Monsters!.....I hate you both!" Avia whined as she stomped her feet repeatedly crossing both hands on her chest
"Your room is the third by your left, everything you need are in there so feel free to do whatever you like" Jasper said as he stretched on the couch
"Oh, how comforting, bîtches" Avia spat as she head upstairs, ignoring their laughter
"Will she be okay?, She looks pretty mad" Jasper said and Laurence waved his hand
"She will be fine, she's my sister and I will handle her" Laurence said certainly as Jasper grined mischievously

Clubhouse★★★
Loud music playing around the background as Mandy drunkenly sat down, laughing like a crazy manic as Gina tried controlling her from making a fuss
"Can you just stop drinking?, you are drunk" Gina frowned and Mandy stared at her before making a sluring sound
"I'm not drunk..... you are!" Mandy said sheepishly with a grin and Gina frowned frustratedly
"Let's go home, you've been drinking for hours" Gina panicked and Mandy scoffed
"Tell me something Gina, don't I deserve Jayson?, Aren't I hot enough?, Oh wait...I gave him good s£x, what else does he want that I don't have" Mandy slurred further as she pouted her lips
"He obviously doesn't have good taste" Gina said with an eye roll as Mandy poured another shot down her throat and shakes her head before smiling like a fool
"I'm hot, I'm beautiful..... right from birth I've been more beautiful than that stupid Jasmine, but he chose her, I swear to fùcking fûck if I lay my eyes on that girl, I'm going to kill her" Mandy said and Gina covered her mouth immediately with a horrific expression on her face
"Will you stop talking nonsense, we are in public" Gina panicked
"Fùck public!, Fùck everyone in it!, I don't care..... just bring me back my Jayson, I'm a mess without him" Mandy pouted more as Gina sighs
"She's still sulking?" Riley appeared as she stood in front of them
"Oh my God!, I'm so drunk... and I love it!!" Mandy shrikes as she hits her hands on the table
"Yep, she's definitely drunk and we need to get her out of here before she blurts everything to the whole world" Gina said and Riley rolled her eyes
"I didn't sign up for this, you know that right?" Riley said as they raised drunk Mandy up together from both sides
"Just help me" Gina pleaded and they rest both of her hands on their shoulders for support as they started leaving
"Let me go!, I'm not drunk!!!" Mandy continued sulking, trying to free herself from their tight grip

The next day★★★
M&K CLASSIC RESORT ✨✨
Roland and Mika were sitting besides each other as they were on their phones, the hall was completely empty and void of customers
"I'm super bored....." Mika suddenly blurted as she drops her phone and Roland chuckled
"That's because Jasmine isn't here, but you have me though" Roland said and Mika scoffed loudly
"No, thank you please, I'd rather remain silent than talking to you" Mika hissed and Roland put his phone away
"Talking to you isn't fun either, so don't get your hopes up of me even considering your presence" Roland replied and Mika gasped for real
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" She fumed while glaring at him
"That you are playing hard to get, you think I wouldn't figure out you are helplessly crushing on me that's why you are being obnoxious and irritating towards me" Roland blurted out and Mika rolled her eyes
"I'd rather crush on a monkey, seriously what gave you that stupid idea that I will be into you?" Mika questioned
"Umm, you mind explaining your hate towards Delilah?, I'm sure you know she likes me" Roland put forth and Mika scoffed
"Who cares if she likes you?, That's her problem" Mika hissed
"You see, you have this tingle look of jealousy whenever her name is being mentioned, but who cares, just like you said, I would also want to have anything to do with you, Delilah isn't so bad after all, I could actually hook up her, she seems fun" Roland said with a smirk and Mika faked a smile
"To hell with whatever you have planned, I don't care" Mika voiced out firmly as Delilah approached them with three cups of expresso
"Y'all in the mood for coffee?, it's early in the morning" Delilah said cheerfully and Roland smiled
"Sure thing Delish, I'm in the mood for coffee" Roland said and Delilah hands him a cup
"Delish?" Delilah asked with an amusing look
"Yeah, that's my cute nickname for you, because you are beautiful and all..... short form for delicious" Roland said with a wink and Mika almost rolled her eyes as Delilah giggled
"It's actually cute Rolly, I like it" Delilah pouted and sat astride from the two of them
"Can you stop calling him Rolly?" Mika asked brashly before she could stop herself
She badly wanted to force her to stop calling Roland "Rolly" but she doesn't want to look like a jealous bîtch
"No can do Mika, here have this" Delilah said as she hands her a cup and Mika takes it
Delilah watched with a smirk as Mika takes the cup
"So Delish, the date you asked for some days ago, we could totally fix a date whenever you want" Roland said and Mika eyed the both of them
"Seriously!?" Delilah asked with a big smile
"Sure, I'm dead serious" Roland said as he steals Mika a glance and Mika takes her phone and stood up
"You don't want your coffee anymore?" Delilah asked with a small frown
"No, Delish.... you can have it" Mika said with an eye roll as she excused herself
"I will take it" Roland opted as he takes the cup but Delilah was fast enough to slap it from his hand and the cup fell, spewing everything on the floor
"Hey!, what was that for?" Roland asked with a disappointed look as he looks at the spilled coffee
"Sorry, my hands must have slipped" Delilah said with a smile as she looks at Mika retreating figure and clenched on her cup tightly
"Whatever" Roland shrugged his shoulders as they continued with their chatter

🌹Jasmine's Pov🌹
Mrs Mantinda's Mansion 🖤🖤🖤
It hurts, it hurts so badly that the man I find peace in is actually my doom, the man I've come to find myself so attached to, the only man who cares about my feelings and everything that happens to me, but how can I continue loving the same man who's brother killed my parents
Many might say it's not his fault, I never accused him, I never judged him and certainly I hold no grudges against him, but seeing that his family were behind the gruesome death of my parents, makes it a little bit difficult to look at Jayson and not feel the urge of hurting him, funny enough how I've already started hurting him by signing a contract marriage
"What do you mean he's no longer seen?, I want that man and what about Jasper Billion?, I need them, find them!" I yelled over the phone as I hung up frustratedly
How can uncle Bob suddenly disappear, Jasper is also missing, that's weird
I won't rest until I lay my eyes on them and make sure I kill them, they're the reasons behind my pain and anger
I sighed as I stepped out of the car, heading for the main building as I saw Mrs Mantinda sitting down with her phone and eye contact glued to her face, she looks up and a smile plastered on her face but I'm not here to exchange pleasantries
"Jasmine, you are here, how have you been?" Mrs Mantinda asked cheerfully
"I'm calling off the contract, I don't want to have anything to do with your family anymore, I'm done" I announced and Mrs Mantinda slowly stood up
"You can't just call off the contract Jasmine, it's court stamped and approved, you can't back out until it expires and it's only a few weeks left, why the rush?" Mrs Mantinda asked unfazed and I clicked my tongue
"I don't care!, I really don't give two flying ducks about anything, your family have already done enough damage to my life and working with you is the biggest mistake I could ever make but I'm willing to put an end to it" i said with tears and Mrs Mantinda walked closer to me, I tried backing away but I couldn't
"Think about it honey, remember what I promised to do if you accomplish your mission, I already found you a good laywer, and my sources also told me your uncle is missing but I promise to find him for you, just think about it" Mrs Mantinda coaxed and i stared at her, she might actually have good researchers who could help me track those bastards on time
"Okay then, mind telling me the actual reason my parents warned me to stay away from your family, what transpired years ago that made y'all loggerheads?" I asked and I saw the flash of unbelieve in her eyes before she exhaled deeply
"It was all a misunderstanding, you might want to sit down for this" Mrs Mantinda said and I slowly sat down as Mrs Mantinda joined me, I maintained eye contact
She held my hand as she caress it and I stared at her
"It all started some years ago....." Mrs Mantinda trailed as Jayson walked in and our gaze travelled towards him, he also paused as he saw me sitting down
What a coincidence?, Why is he here?, Okay, I know it's his mom's house but why is he here now?
Oh gawd!
"What's going on here?" Jayson asked and silence filled the air
I bit my lips as I stared back at Jayson who was now sqauting besides me, now I can't stay mad at this man when he's being such a caring bastard!, he's just to adorable to hurt or leave without, maybe, just maybe I actually have feelings for him
"Thank God you are here son, I think since Jasmine has obviously recovered her memories, it's time you both know what actually transpired between us" Mrs Mantinda said and I stared at her slowly
She knows all this while?, How cunning can this woman be?
