Chapter 45

Jasmine

"We are deeply sorry, Jasmine but you need to know the truth." He said and I was confused. My heart was pounding profusely out of nervousness.

"Truth about what?" I asked but someone replied from behind and my heart almost shattered.

"The truth that I don't really love you." Romano replied as tears streamed down my face.

My heart was pounding profusely as he let out those words. I can't believe that I am hearing those words from me. It seems hard to digest and I can't believe that Romano would tell me that. I moved closer to him with tears in my eyes. It hurt me more when I saw the reaction on his face. He was staring at me with his usual dark reaction.

"W…. what did you say, Romano?" I asked him.

"I don't love you, Jasmine. Everything is just an act. I was pretending to love you but I can't act anymore." He responded and I clenched my fist.

"It is not true, please tell me that you are joking." I begged him and was about to touch him but he stopped me.

"Can't you understand it, Jasmine? I don't love you, everything was just an act and also I have proved to myself that I can't replace my dead mate. You are just my replacement mate and that is all." He said and his words seemed like killing me.

"But you told me all these while that you loved me. You are just playing with it? Goodness, it looks so real." I said as tears continuously streamed down my face.

"Can't you get it, I was just acting! And now I have realized that I don't really love you." He said, it is so painful to hear those words from the man I trust. I never thought that everything was just an act. Romano is still a demon, I moved my hand as I couldn't stop myself from slapping him so hard on the face. I am really upset with him, I trusted him and I have known the truth that he was fooling me all this while. How dare he?

"I believe your words because I thought everything you said were true. Now that I have discovered that it was just a lie. How could you do that to me, Romano? I loved you so much, please tell me that you are only teasing me. I can't afford to accept this, Romano." I said and I was about to kneel in front of him when Harry stopped me.

"Don't do that, Jasmine. You deserve someone else better than him. You don't need to beg him." He said and I turned my attention to him.

"Your friend is still a jerk, you know. He is always hurting me and I swear that he will regret everything he did to me. He wasted my love for him and now I hate him with all the fibers in me!" I screamed on top of my lungs and Romano grabbed my wrist.

"You are so easy to deceive, Jasmine. So you believe all the words I said to you." He said and I slapped him on his face again and tears streamed down my face.

I am in deep pain because of him. I loved him so much and I can't believe that he has crushed my heart into pieces. He deceived me and I hated myself for believing in him.

"You are a liar, Romana!" I screamed as I kept punching him on his chest.

"You need to let go of me, Jasmine. I am not meant for you. You are my new mate but can you endure the pain that you are feeling towards me now?" He asked and I sobbed.

"I can't, Romano. You are my life and I can't let go of you. I would die if you did this to me." I said but he grabbed my shoulder and looked me deep in the eyes.

"I can't love you, Jasmine because my dead mate still lives within my heart. She is still the woman I love." He said and I bit my bottom lips to stop myself from crying.

"You told me, you love me. You even beg me to come back to your life. Please I know you are lying, don't do this to me, don't hurt me more, Romano." I said to him.

Remembering those words he told me, my heart aches. All the sweet words he said to me were just a lie. He doesn't love me, everything was just a lie and I hated him for hurting me. I realized that I have made a tremendous mistake in my life for loving a man who keeps hurting me.

"Let us end this, Jasmine. You can leave my house and don't ever come back to my life. Do you understand?" He said and I grinned my teeth to stop myself from sniffing but I wasn't able to stop myself. It may be hard to believe but I needed to accept the fact that Romano and I were done. I am tired of understanding him and also tired of loving him.

"I just hope that you will not regret everything you have done to me, Romano." I said as I turned my attention away from him. I wanted to beg him more but I realized that I shouldn't degrade myself and push myself to him.

Romano pushed me away and so be it. I should accept my destiny and my failure, I should accept the fact that this happened to me but I never regret feeling his love even though it was all an act. I don't know where my fate will lead me from now onwards. My family will degrade me if I ever return back home, I am certain that they won't even accept me back. My twin sister is nowhere to be found and I have no one besides me anymore.

"Jasmine!" I heard Khloe's voice and made me cry even more. They were staring at me with a concerned expression when I glanced over at them.

"What happened to you?" Nina asked and I hugged her before responding.

"Romano broke my heart, everything was just an act. He never loved me." I replied.

"What the hell! I will talk to that dumbass." Ciara said and she was about to go inside the bar but I stopped her.

"Please don't because I just want to get away from him now. Take me somewhere far away from this place. I want to forget everything about Romano." I said and they all signed. They helped me get into the car and we drove off.

I was still crying and thinking about what just happened earlier. I still can't believe that this actually happened. I was deceived by him. He made me think that everything he said to me was true, he made me think that he really loves me but it is just a big lie. Romano Philip, you are just a liar.

"We never expected that this would ever happen. We thought that he truly loves you." Nina said and I sob more.

"I can't believe that Romano would do this to me. His words and everything he showed me was just a lie. It was hard to believe but I was actually deceived by Alpha Romano." I said as I cried even more.

"The important thing now is that you are far away from him. You need to move on and forget everything about him, maybe you should accept the fact that you are not meant for him." Khloe said.

They are right, it maybe hard to start over in the beginning but I needed to push myself to feel better and I won't allow that sex boy Alpha to ruin me forever. I should forget him even if it is hard.


**Three months on**

Three months have passed already and I am still hoping that Romano would come and pick me up but I was just hoping for nothing. I am staying at one of Nina's resorts, she entrusted the management of the resort to me and I am enjoying the job. I am still grateful that I have friends like them who never abandon me when I am in need of someone's shoulder to lean on. My family never contacted me even to know how I was fairing. Well, they didn't care at all. My twin sister is missing and I don't have any idea about her whereabouts.

It has been three months and I am still thinking about Romano. He was still the man I loved and removing him from my heart and mind seemed hard to do.

"You can take a break, Miss Jasmine." One of the staff said to me and I stopped what I was doing and faced her.

"I needed to finish everything, Rose." I said and she just nodded.

"Jasmine." I heard someone call my name and I raised my eyebrows. My mood brightened up when I saw my friends coming towards me.
