Chapter 110

Jasmine

"I am sorry, Jasmine. I failed to protect your parents. They were killed by unknown people and Romano's Pack has alerted all the borders because of the incident." Kenneth said.

It wasn't his fault because no one knew that this would happen to them. My heart is agonizing in pain because the family that took care of us died. They die the same way my biological parents died and it is heartbreaking thinking what could be the reason for their death. It wasn't an accident, an illness that killed them but it was intentional. Someone killed them and I couldn't explain the anger I felt now.

"What happened to them, Kenneth. Please tell me how they died." He sighed before responding.

"According to the witnesses, they saw numerous cars near your parent's house. They were shooting at their house so that is what caused their death. They had so many gunshots all over their bodies." I was gritting my teeth while my fist clenched because of what he just said.

"Whoever did this to them, they must surely pay in the end. I will make sure that I punish them for killing my parents but I have no idea who they might be? Yes, they were rude towards us but we never knew that they had an enemy. I don't know what was the reason for them to be killed. They were all monsters for doing this to them." I was saying those words in-between sobbs and Kenneth was still rubbing my back trying to comfort me.

"Do you want to see them? They are still at the funeral." Kenneth said and I nodded my head.

He helped me walk towards the car as we drove off. I was still crying until we reached the funeral. My heart seemed crushing into pieces as I walked towards the house. I almost lost consciousness when I saw the dead bodies, they can't be recognized due to the multiple gunshots they got all over their bodies. I am grateful that Kenneth was on my side to support my trembling legs. Tears kept streaming from my eyes seeing their situation. I can't believe that their lives will end like this.

"I am cursing those that were responsible for their death. I will never stop hunting them for killing my innocent parents." I couldn't explain the anger I felt staring at their dead bodies.

"Jasmine.." My jaw clenched when I heard Juliet's voice. I turned my gaze towards her and it was as if my sight darkened seeing her. I ran towards her and strangled her neck.

"Is it you that kills them? Tell me the truth, Juliet? Did you kill our parents?" My hands were still on her neck when I asked her those questions. Romano came and intervened. I am convinced that I would have killed her if Romano did come.

"You are accusing me of the things I never did, Jasmine. Did you think that I wasn't agonizing in pain seeing our parents in this situation?" She said and I stared at her disbelievingly.

Yes, she was crying but I know it is fake because I can't feel the sincerity in it and I couldn't see the pain in her eyes. My gaze turned to Romano who was standing beside her, my fist clenched because of that. I can't believe seeing both of them here.

"I thought you were the Alpha king of this Pack but you let the enemies enter your land? My parents died and you didn't do anything to save them." I was crying while saying those words to Romano.

"I am sorry, Jasmine. Believe me, we never expected something like this to happen. The people that did this are quite intelligent, they surpass the security of this Pack." I shook my head at Romano's words.

"Just admit that you are useless. You can't protect your people even though you are the Alpha king!" I screamed at Romano. It doesn't matter if I am rude towards him because I am in so much pain. This Pack failed to protect my parents, they didn't do anything to save them. They just allowed the enemies to kill the only family I have.

"Jasmine…." Romano called me and was about to touch me when I stopped him.

"Don't dare touch me, Romano! Stay away from me because I don't need you. We don't need a useless Alpha king like you." I said as I walked away from the funeral.

Tears streamed down my face and my heart agonized in pain because I didn't do anything to save them. I was beside them when they were killed. They died without hearing from me how much I loved them, regardless of what they did to us in the past. I went to the parking lobby and cried alone there. Kenneth didn't follow me because he knew that I needed to be alone for now. I was thinking about my twin sister, Juliet. It was as if I couldn't feel mourning from her and it seems like she is happy with what happened to them.

"Don't worry, mother and father because as long as I am still breathing, I will do my best to give them both the justice that you deserve. Those that were responsible for your death must pay." I was gritting my teeth when I said those words to myself.

It was hard losing them but the deed had been done. I just lost my second parents and if I could turn back time, I would rather come on time and save them.


*****Two months on*****


It has been two months since the tragedy of losing my adopted parents. I am still seeking justice for them, the culprits are still unknown. We have tried everything possible but we couldn't find any clue.

I am gradually recovering from that tremendous loss and trying to make myself strong for my son, Clinton. Romano never showed up again after I told him how useless he was. I heard rumors that he went out of the country and entrusted the Pack in the hands of his Beta, Ashton till he comes back.

Well, I must admit to myself that I miss that jerk. I am still thinking and hoping that I will see him again.

"Miss, Jasmine, your meeting will be in a moment." The secretary's voice brought me back from my deep thoughts. Kenneth allowed me to manage one of his companies in the city. A deep breath escaped my mouth before nodding my head responding to her.

"Tell everyone that I am coming." I responded to the secretary.

My schedule for the past few days has become hectic. I have been the one attending business meetings and other appointments for the company that I am handling. Kenneth has gone back to Chicago and he is going to be there for over a month because of his business.

My son, Clinton, was with my friends and they are taking good care of him. They loved playing and spending most of their time with my son. They always treat him as their own son. I stood up from my swivel chair and touched my face with makeup a bit to be able to face them. My heartbeat was quickening which I couldn't explain why.

"It is okay, Jasmine." I murmured to myself as I kept going to the conference room. The meeting will be held in the company and I don't know who the guests were. I couldn't understand why I felt nervous about the whole thing.

In just a few minutes, I arrived at the conference room and I almost froze at the spot, noticing the person in the middle. Our gaze met each other which caused my heart to almost jump out of nervousness. I never expected to see Romano here. Two months have passed and I am seeing him again. He looked gorgeously handsome and hot, way different like the last time. I clenched my fist in annoyance praising him which is not good. I shouldn't be praising the man that shattered my heart into pieces.

"Good day, ladies and gentlemen." I greeted them andI started the meeting as soon as possible. Romano was wearing his usual dark aura and he was silent till the end of the meeting.

"You have a great idea, Miss, Philip. Looking forward to the innovation. I am very sure that it can be a benefit to humans." One of the guests said, which made me smile.

"End this meeting now, Miss Philip because I still have some appointments that urgently need my attention." Romano said and it was as if I wanted to attack him. He was rushing like his other appointment was so important to me. Wait, what did I just say?

"With all due respect, Master Kelvin." All the guests became silent because of the tension between me and Romano.

"You can continue, Jasmine Kelvin." My face flushed because of what Romano said and I could hear the guests gaspering. Well, I haven't forgotten that I am still married to the Alpha king and I should be using his last name. Goodness, this is so embarrassing.

Commotions began because of what Romano said and I felt my face reddened as a tomato.

"The meeting is….. dismissed." I said as I walked out of the conference room.
