Chapter 109

Jasmine

My world stopped moving when he grabbed my body and pulled me closer to him. He embraced me and I wasn't even expecting him to do that. I was still shocked to see him in this resort. Romano Kelvin has met our son and this is trouble. I never thought he would come here to disrupt our moments.

"Let go of me, Romano!" I screamed as I tried to push him away from me but he didn't release me from his grip.

"Don't hide the truth from me, Jasmine. Please, is the child mine?" He asked me, his question made my heartbeats increase.

"He is not your son, Romano. How many times do I need to tell you that he is not your child. Can't you fucking understand that?" I couldn't stop myself from raising my voice. Romano is making my blood boil in anger. He kept following me everywhere we went.

"I know you are mad at me, Jasmine because of what I did in the past but don't hide the truth from me. I know he is my son because he looks exactly like me, Jasmine." I swallowed hard my saliva because of what he said. It took me about a minute before I could speak again.

"I am not hiding the truth from you, Romano. He is my son not yours. We separated three years ago and stopped pushing yourself as his father because Kenneth is his father. Leave this place now or I will call the police." I don't care if he is the Alpha king.

"What do you want me to do, Jasmine? Do I need to kneel in front of you?" My mouth opened widely because of his question. A smirk curled into my lips because of that.

"Kneel, Romano and beg me." I said to him, I know I am being rude but I don't care. Did he forget how I begged for his love before?

Forgiveness will never be enough for him to pay for all the pain and suffering he made me go through. He wasn't on my side when I was craving for something during my pregnancy. It was Kenneth who was always beside me and he provided all the support I needed. He played the role of Romano as the father.

Romano doesn't deserve to be called Clinton's father. He wasn't beside me to help prepare his food and even changed his diaper. He can't blame me if I decide not to accept him as my son's father.

"If that is the only way then, I am willing to do it, Jasmine. Even if it means eating my pride as the Alpha king." I was astounded by what he did next.

Romano knelt in front of me and I don't know how to react because of what he did. It was as if I was facing a hard time to digest everything that is happening now. My fist clenched again because of his actions. It took me some minutes to compose myself again.

"Even if you kneel countless times in front of me, I have nothing to tell you because I wasn't hiding anything from you. What you did to me in the past can't be healed by your simple apology. You wasted my love for you and chose to betray me. I could still remember what you said to me that Evelyn is the woman you love. Those words were still fresh in my mind." I backed him after saying those words because I couldn't stand seeing him pathetically kneeing in front of me.

"Jasmine.." He called me and I clench my jaw.

"I will never give up on you. I don't care if Kenneth is whom you are with now. Nothing will change, my plans will still be pursued. I will work hard to win you back because I love you. Yes, I broke my promises to you so many times but it will never be the reason for me to give up on you." I shook my head because of what he said.

"Go on, Romano but I just want to remind you that whatever you want to do, you can't tame this heart of mine, never again." I was about to walk away from him but he spoke again.

"I will prove myself to you, Jasmine and our son." My heart pounded because of what he said.

He is so confident that he is his son, well I couldn't stop myself from smiling. He has this strong feeling and even though I have tried telling him so many times that he is not his child. Yet he still thinks that he is the biological father. I didn't respond to him as I walked away from him to where my friends were hiding my son. My heart was still pounding loudly because of nervousness. I am sure that my son would be confused about what is happening and I don't know how to explain it to him.

My friends were in one of the private rooms. When I got to the room, my son was playing with his toys. They all turned their attention towards me as I entered. I heaved a deep breath seeing the reactions on their faces. I am sure they were worried about what happened earlier.

"Mother!" My son screamed as he ran towards me. I pick him up and kiss his cheeks many times.

"I love you, my prince. Just play with your toys for a while, let mummy speak with her friends, okay?" He nodded his head as he went back playing with his toys. I turned my attention back to my friends.

"How were your conversations with Romano?" Ciara asked, I let out a deep sigh first.

"He really believes that Clinton is his son, regardless of how many times I told him he is not." I said to them.

"So, what is your plan since the father had already met his son?" Nina asked.

"My plans still remain the same and it will never change. I will never let Romano come near my son and I will never introduce him to Clinton. He told me earlier that he will do everything to gain my trust back but whatever he does, my mind won't change. I will never forgive him." I was backing my friends when I said those words. They know I was in pain regardless of what happened.

"What if he is sincere about what he said, Jasmine? What if Romano will work hard to gain back your trust, will you forgive him?" Khloe asked, her question made me face them and I took a deep breath before responding.

"I don't know and I can't answer that question as of now because the scene from the past that broke my heart is still fresh in my mind. It is hard to forget them because it almost ruined my life. As of now, I am focused on my life and my son. I will try my best to avoid Romano and never let our path cross again." They heaved a deep breath because of what I said I know they understand the situation.

"Well, it is your decision, Jasmine. Just know that we are always here to support you and your son." Khloe said and I smiled. They hugged me and I couldn't stop smiling because of what they did.

I know I am cold now and it was all because of Romano. It is his fault that I am this cold towards him.

************

Seven days have passed since we visited the resort and Romano's path crossed with mine again. Kenneth enhanced the security of his mansion and not letting anyone enter the house. I was currently in the kitchen preparing for our breakfast when my phone rang. Kenneth went to visit my adopted parents. I picked the phone and my brows furrowed when I saw it was Kenneth calling. My hand started to tremble in fear and I couldn't understand why I felt something unusual.

"Kenneth." I called his name as soon as I picked the call. It took him some minutes before he responded.

"Something happened, Jasmine.." my mouth widened because of what he said. I could hear my heart pounding inside my chest because of what he said.

"What happened, Kenneth?" I asked him.

"Your parents…." He paused and tears streamed down my face which I couldn't explain. I don't understand why I cried when he mentioned my parents.

"They are dead, Jasmine." He added, the phone fell into my hand and my legs started trembling in fear. I sat down on the chair and sobbed.

The word death kept banging in my head, it was as if what I heard wasn't real. The parents I used to know are now dead. My heart shattered in pain. It took me some minutes before I stopped crying as I decided to go to parent's house.

The moment I stepped out of the kitchen, Kenneth arrived. He ran towards me and embraced me, I cried on his chest as he patted my back to comfort me.
