Chapter 107

Jasmine

"Don't ever think like that, Jasmine. It was my decision to stay by your side and I will never allow him to come near you ever again." I nodded my head responding to what he said. I stopped crying as I stood properly.

"Let us go home, Kenneth, because I am tired already." I said to him, I had already forgotten the reason why we attended the party. Well, I have already lost the zeal to enjoy the party after what happened between Juliet as well as Kenneth and Romano.

I remained quiet throughout our drive back home. Romano is the one I am thinking about. Regardless of what happened, I couldn't stop myself from thinking about him. I am worried about the wounds Kenneth gave him, even though he brought pain into my life. He is still the man I love.

I wanted to give in to him earlier but this is not right. I have vowed to myself that no matter what happens, I will let him come back to my life again and I don't want to risk my heart believing his lies again.

"Do we need to continue this act, Jasmine?" I was brought back from my deep thoughts when I heard Kenneth's voice.

"Act?" I asked, which made him stop the car.

"I know that you still love him, Jasmine and I understand why you can't love me." His attention was on the other side when he said those words to me. I bit my lips as I don't know what should be my response to his question.

"I am sorry, Kenneth. Believe me, I tried hard to forget Romano but it wasn't easy. It wasn't my intention to hurt your feelings. The moon goddess knows how much I have tried to love you but…… I paused as a deep breath escaped from Kenneth's mouth and then he faced me.

"Don't worry, Jasmine, because I will support your happiness. I know that it is hard to forget him and I am not forcing myself onto you. Don't worry because I am not upset with you, maybe I will always be by your side until you get better." He said to me, I am so grateful to have a friend like him. He is such a kind-hearted man who was always there to protect us.

"I am deeply sorry, Kenneth." He smiled but I knew those smiles were fake. He had feelings for me and I can't even love him back because it is still Romano in my heart.

"Stop apologizing, Jasmine. It is okay, let us keep moving." Started the engine of the car afterwards as we drove back to his mansion.

We arrived home at nine o'clock in the evening. He told me that he would be resting in his room. I was left alone in the corridor. My friends were in their rooms and my son was already asleep. I sat down on the couch with tears streaming down my face again.

"Goodness, I promise myself that I won't cry again but look at what is happening now. I am crying because of that jerk Alpha again." I murmured to myself while gritting my teeth. Pain stabbed my heart each time I remembered Romano. All he did to me in the past seems to be happening again. I thought I would be stronger than before when I returned but I was wrong. I am still the same as before, weak and a crybaby.

"Jasmine…" my head turned to the direction that the voice came from and I saw my friends. They stared at me with their worried faces.

"What are the three of you doing here?" I asked in my cracking voice, they came closer to me as they sat next to me.

"We can feel your pain. Is something happening at the party?" Ciara asked, I bit my lips because of her question.

"It is still him, right?" Nina said and I nodded my head. They hugged him, it made me sob more.

"I still love him and I want to give in to him. My inner self is battling about it and I don't know what to do whether to choose him or not. I am just scared to accept him back." I said to them.

"Always remember, Jasmine, that whatever happened, we all are here to support you. We would like to tell you something about your son." My face lifts from what Khloe said. My heart pounded inside my chest at the mention of my son.

"What happened to Clinton?" I asked them.

"Your son is looking for his father. It is not Kenneth he was looking for but his biological father, Jasmine. This has been our fear, Jasmine. Your son wants his biological father." My mouth agape from what Khloe just said to me.

It was as if my world stopped moving when I heard my friends say those words. My heart pounded inside my chest because of fears. My son is looking for his biological father and this has been what I am scared of.

I am scared that one day, my son will ask about his biological father. Even though I told him that his father is far from us, my heart aches in pain thinking that I can't give my son a complete and happy family. His father is a demon and heartless.

"I don't know how to explain to him that his father is a demon." My friends heaved a sigh because of what I said.

"You need to explain it to him, Jasmine and don't forget, he is a kind child. I believe he will understand. You can't forever hide Romano's child and you know that, Romano will eventually find out." Khloe said to me.

"I will never introduce my son to Romano. He will take him away from me and that has been my fear. Whatever happened, I will never tell him that Clinton is his son." I replied while gritting my teeth.

"It is your decision, Jasmine. We just wanted to remind you that you can't hide the truth forever. You know how mad we were at Romano because of what he did to you but when it comes to accepting him back into your life, we will support you, Jasmine. You deserve a happy life and we believe that Romano still loves you." Nina said to me, I stared at my friends strangely. They were acting weird and it was as if they were defending Romano.

Seriously? What is happening to my friends?

"Am I hearing you guys correctly? Why do the three of you seem like you are defending that jerk. I can still remember how mad you guys were because of him in the last three years?" They chuckled because of what I asked them.

"Don't mind us, Jasmine. You must take a rest now because tomorrow we will be visiting our resort and we will take your son along." Nina said, I smiled at her. Clinton will surely love to swim and maybe this is the time for me to show my son around the city.

Although it is risky, I will do everything to keep him a secret. I will never allow Romano to see my son because I know he will figure out that Clinton is his son. Clinton is the carbon copy of Romano Kelvin, it can't be denied that he is his son but Romano thinks that he is Kenneth's son.

"It will be a good idea, girls. Clinton will love it, so I need to take a rest now." I said to them and they nodded their heads responding to me.

"Good night, Jasmine." I smiled at them before walking away from them.

I went to my son's room and he was sleeping so soundly. A smile curved into my lips seeing his charming face.

"Mummy loves you, Clinton." I said to him as I kissed his face. He woke up because of what I did.

"Mother….where is…. father?" My mouth opened widely because of his question. Tears were about to flow but I stopped them. I don't want my son seeing me cry.

"Do you want to swim tomorrow, my prince?" I asked him, it made him smile widely.

"Yes, I want to!" He screamed, I chuckled because of how he reacted. I hugged him and then kissed his forehead.

"We will swim tomorrow, my prince. Now, go back to sleep. Don't forget that mummy loves you, okay?" He nodded his head as he closed his eyes. I waited for him to fall asleep before sobbing.

"I hate you, Romano Kelvin. If you didn't hurt me, you would have been by my side with our son." I murmured to myself, I made sure I lowered my voice in order for my son to hear me. I wiped the tears off my face as I decided to go to sleep.
