Chapter 102

Jasmine

This is so absurd! I lost my memory when the parents we used to know rescued us? This is so hard to believe. Firstly, the parents I thought were my real parents admitted that we were just adopted and now they were also telling me that I lost my memory. What else do I need to know? Is there anything else that they wanted me to know?

"Wait…." I said and then faced them with my serious face.

"How am I convinced that the two of you weren't playing with me?" I asked them, although it seems like they were telling the truth but what they did to me in the past, it is hard to trust them.

"We were telling the truth, Jasmine. We know we have made some mistake and hurt you and your sister in the past but believe us, we already regret it. Your mother and I loved the two of you even though you people weren't our real daughters. We regretted our mistake for not playing our role of being a parent to both of you." Tears streamed down my face because of what my father said.

"It is so hard to regain my trust towards you people again but I can't help to think what if you guys were telling the truth?" My mother wiped the tears off my face as she pulled me closer to her and embraced me.

"I am sorry, child. It is not our intention to hurt your feelings. The reason your father and I decided to tell you about it is because he is dying. He said that we should tell you everything and I also realized the wrong I have done to you. The moon goddess knows how much we cared for the both of you. Although we can't tell how much we loved you and your twin sister, we cared for both of you so much." This heartbreaking truth is that the parents I used to know weren't my biological parents but regardless of what has happened, the Philip family still took good care of us.

"Does that mean that Juliet knew that we were just an adopted child?" I asked my mother and she nodded her head responding to me.

What hurts me more is the fact that my twin sister never told me the truth. She never told me that I had a memory loss and didn't even tell me about our real parents' identity. It is heartbreaking because she hides the truth from me.

"I know that you are still confused about what the truth you just learnt, Jasmine but it is up to you to believe us or not. What matters to me and father now is that we have told you the truth. The burden has been released from us." My mother said, I nodded my head as I came closer to my father and hugged him. Regardless of what they did to me, I am still grateful that because of what they did, I met Romano.

"Give me some time to think about it because all these are still hard for me to digest. I don't know what to do or what to say now. But if what you told me was the truth, I am grateful that the two of you raised us." I said to them and they both nodded their heads.

I gave them the things I bought for them and asked Kenneth to take me back to the house. Tears were still streaming down my face, my heart shattered in pain. Everything I learnt about my past was so heartbreaking and I don't know who to ask about the truth but only Juliet, my twin sister. She is the only one that knows the truth but the problem is, how can I ask her when we weren't on good terms? I am mad at her because of what she did to me. She betrayed me and the incident that happened three years ago is still banging on my head. I can't forget how I caught her and ny husband having sex, my fist clenched in anger as I remembered that.

Kenneth and I were already inside the car, he placed his hand on top mine and it made me to let out a deep breath.

"Don't worry about it, Jasmine because I will do everything to investigate if your parents were telling the truth. Trust me with that." I smiled because of what he said.

"Thank you so much, Kenneth but as for now, we need to go back because my son is waiting for me. I said to him, he started the engine of the car as we drove off and left my parent's house.

My attention was focused on the road and something happened that almost made my heart jump out of nervousness.

"Damn it!" Kenneth cussed, I turned my gaze and a lot of cars blocking our path. My heart was pounding inside my chest at the thought that the enemies were about to attack us. I looked at Kenneth and saw him clenching his fist.

"Who are they, Kenneth?" I asked him and he turned his attention back to me. He let out a deep sigh and then held my hand.

"Whatever happened, don't get out of the car, okay?" He said to me and I nodded my head responding to him.

"What is your plan, Kenneth?" I asked him in my nervous tone. A smile curved into his lips as he was staring at the enemies in front of us.

"Let me take good care of it, Jasmine." He said as he went out of the car.

He walked towards the cars while my eyes were focused on him. My mouth opened widely and my fist clenched as I realized who they were. Pain hits my heart again seeing my husband, Romano. His eyes were focused on my direction as if he was looking for someone. A lot of things have changed in him, he looks more handsome and dominant but sad that he breaks my heart into pieces. Everything he did to me is still banging into my head.

The way he shattered my heart into pieces and the way he abandoned us. I hope that he won't learn about his son. I will never introduce him to my son, I swear to that. My heart was pounding inside my chest as he was walking towards the car I was inside. Kenneth stopped him but surprisingly, Romano punched him in the face. My fist clenched in anger as I let out a deep breath before deciding to step out of the car and face. He is really getting on my nerves.

"Jasmine?" Romano called my name and I couldn't stop myself from missing his voice. I couldn't explain why my heart was beating so fast seeing him again. This is an unexpected meetup and I have no plans to reveal myself to him but he punched Kenneth.

"You are still a monster, Romano Kelvin. How could you hit your friend, Kenneth?" I asked him in my gritted teeth. Kenneth came closer to me, he got closer to me like he wanted to avoid Romano touching me.

"I did that because he hid you from me. I am really sorry, Jasmine. Please come back to my life again." I stared at his eyes when he said those words, it was as if he was pleading. What the hell?

"What is the meaning of this, Romano? As far as I could remember, you don't care about me. You even hurt my feelings and pushed me away, right?" I was so happy that I was able to fight Romano. I am not that weak Jasmine he used to know. Anger is what I felt towards him now as soon as I saw his face again. Everything he did to me, how he and my twin sister betrayed me flashed back into my brain.

"I never hide her from you, Romano. It was Jasmine's choice to stay far away from you because of what you did to her. Have you forgotten how you pushed her away?" Kenneth asked him in his angry tone, I know he is mad at him. Romano was about to grab Kenneth's collar when I blocked him with my body.

"Touch him and I will kill you. How dare you hurt, Kenneth? You are still the same as before, Romano. You are still a monster and I regret loving a demon like you but anyways, I am so happy that I have already moved on." I said to him, he looked me deep into my eyes and his eyes seemed hurt.

"You don't love me anymore, Jasmine?" He asked, and his question made me chuckle.

"Yes, it is Kenneth whom I love now and we already had a son, Romano. Please stop disrupting our lives, okay?" I responded to him and his fist clenched in anger.

"Please stop hurting me, Jasmine. I know you are saying all these because you wanted to take revenge for what I did to you in the past. But believe me, Jasmine, I have regretted my actions already." He said, I shook my head at him.
