Chapter 117

Jasmine

I went back to my room to get dressed. It is already seven o'clock in the evening and I have only thirty minutes to get ready. I hurriedly took a shower and got dressed without wasting much time.

"Cheer up, Jasmine." I murmured to myself in the mirror. My eyes were telling me that I am not happy and something is missing from me. Eyes weren't happy and I am convinced that it is because of Romano.

"Come on, Jasmine. You must stop thinking about him. He is not worthy of your tears and your love. There is still a better man out there." I said to myself still standing in front of the mirror.

I stared at myself for about five minutes in the mirror before stepping out of the room. Kenneth is waiting for me in the corridor. He stood up as soon as he saw me coming through the stairs. I gave him a smile, he looked breathtaking which made me nervous.

"Let us go, Kenneth." He nodded his head at me.

We stepped out of the house together and drove to the restaurant. We were still on the road but I couldn't feel my heart pounded so rapidly inside my chest which I couldn't explain.

"Don't hesitate to order any food you want when we get there, Jasmine." I smiled at him.

"Thank you so much for your kindness, Kenneth. I owe everything to you." He just smiled at my words.

We were already at the restaurant and my heart was still pounding. I wandered my eyes throughout the surroundings and my mouth agape when I saw Romano. He was talking to a woman, my blood boiled in anger seeing him. He noticed me and his gaze turned towards my direction. My gaze turned to the other direction as I held Kenneth's hand until something crossed my mind.

I was thinking of making this Alpha jealous until he exploded in anger. It has always been seven days and he looks better now. His wounds had healed already, that is why he is having an affair with a new girl. He is really a womanizer and would never change.

"Follow me, Jasmine." Kenneth said and I nodded my head at him.

There were so many customers in the restaurant and the only empty space was the one next to Romano. We sat on the table and I didn't look at his direction but I could see his eyes on me. He is staring at us which made me go ahead with my plan. I will surely make this man jealous, he is really getting on my nerves.

"Do you want a dessert, darling? Vanilla ice?" I asked Kenneth which made him look at me with surprise evidence on his face. He didn't expect me to say that to him but he smiled at me. Kenneth placed his on mine and I bit my lips because of that.

"Anything, sweetheart but I want chocolate ice cream." Kenneth replied while staring deeply into my eyes. I nodded my head responding to him. Romano's eyes were still focused in our direction, although I wasn't looking at him but I knew he was staring at me.

It was as if I was enjoying what was happening. I am making this asshole Alpha jealous.

"Kenneth…" I was speechless for what he did next. Kenneth kissed the back of my hand, my heart flew away because I was expecting him to do that. He was about to say something when we heard the sound of a chair tumble towards Romano's direction. I turned my gaze and he wasn't there anymore. A deep breath escaped my mouth, it seems that my plan worked.

"Are you okay, Jasmine?" Kenneth asked and I nodded.

"I am sorry for kissing your hand. I did it because it was part of the plan." I just smiled because of what he said. There is nothing wrong with what he did.

"I need to go to the restroom, Kenneth." He nodded and responded to me. I stood up and went towards the restroom.

I was walking towards the direction of the restroom, I need to be quick because Kenneth is waiting for me. The moment I was about to open the restroom door, some grabbed my wrist and slammed me to the wall.

"What the hell is your problem!" I screamed as I became shocked realizing who the person was. Is Romano and he is staring deeply into my eyes.

"Can you talk, Jasmine?" I chuckled sarcastically because of what he said.

"Talk about what, Romano?" He sighed.

"I want to talk about us." I shook my head at him. I couldn't believe that I would see him here, all I thought was that he had left the restaurant but it was totally wrong. He is still here and pinned me to the wall.

"There is no us, Romano. Please leave me alone because I don't need you in my life anymore." I tried pushing myself away but his grasp on me is too tight.

"I won't leave you till you admit that you and Kenneth had no relationship at all." My mouth gasped because of what he said. I wanted to free myself from his cage because of how my heart beat was increasing.

"Why do you care, Romano? Juliet is already by your side and you should stop disturbing our lives." He tightened his grip on me and it made me swallow hard my saliva.

"I care because I hate seeing you with Kenneth. You are mine and have you forgotten what I told you last time? I will do everything I can to get back your trust and your feelings for me." Of course I still remember him saying those words but what I couldn't forget is the words Juliet said to me.

"Shut up, Romano and I know you are just using me. Juliet told me the reason why you are trying to gain back my trust. Please leave me alone because whatever you do, my decision is final. I will never forgive you." He just sighed.

"I knew that Juliet said something to you, please don't believe her because she is lying. Your sister was trying to ruin my image in front of you, Jasmine. I knew I did bad to you in the past but just trust me, I am really working hard to gain your trust back because I truly love you." I clenched my fist while gritting my teeth because of what he said.

"Why can't you just forget me, Romano? How many times do I need to tell you that I will never return back to you again. My life is like hell staying with you, I am not happy with you anymore and your demon personality is stopping me from accepting you back again. I know if I forgive you, you will still hurt me again, she will still continue cheating on me. I don't want to risk my heart again, Romano." He heaved a deep breath and released me from his grip. I felt relieved afterwards.

"You know what, Jasmine. I have no plans of giving up on you because I love you. Just tell me that you want to give Kenneth a chance in your life and I will free you." I bit my lips because of what he said.

"I don't love you anymore, Romano and the truth is that, I want to give Kenneth a chance because he was there for me especially when I am pregnant with your child." He looked with shock on his face. He didn't expect me to say that to him. This is the time for him to know the truth. I will tell you that Clinton is his son and that is all.

"Is the boy my son, Jasmine? He asked with his teary eyes. My mouth agape seeing him cry. He held my hand and I wanted to pull it away but his grip was tight.

"You are really an asshole, Romano. Who do you think is the father of my son?" He cries more in front of me. My heart almost melted seeing him in tears. I know it was tears of joy, he is crying because I told him the truth about his son.

"I know, Jasmine, that the boy is my son. I did an investigation and your confrontation proves that the results are real." Tears stream down my eyes. My heart and mind were battling for what decision I should make.

I still love him and that will never change but what he did to me in the past broke my heart which made it hard for me to forgive him.
