When she got home, however, there was a hunk lying on her bed! She didn't expect her mom would get her a one-night stand as a gift. Yet she decided to accept it anyway. After a crazy night, her dad's words the next morning came as a bolt from the blue. The hottie turned out to be the son of her dad's boss, and he would soon marry his fiancée. One trouble after another, Jasmine found herself in the midst of a maelstrom.

To further your studies? But we've got top-tier universities here in the US. Does he want you to go out and meet more people?"He paused for a sec and went on, "Well, maybe.""Hmm, Britain would be a good choice. I could never say no to a man speaking in RP." I was excited about the topic. "So, which college are you planning to study at?""It depends on which college my dad's gonna invest in," he replied in self-mockery.Speechless, I cast him a glance and sighed.'Is this the difference between the rich and the poor?Many students are dying to study abroad, yet he scorns the opportunity.He's indeed a prince who knows nothing about the struggle of the common people.'I suddenly felt the urge to talk sense into him."Actually, Mr. Munoz is quite nice to you. Though it's a bit cruel for him to turn you
I tore my eyes away from Sebastian's lonely silhouette on the balcony and focused them on the desk.I knew curiosity killed the cat, but I still couldn't help taking his phone.There were countless notifications of missed calls and unread messages on the screen, giving me goosebumps.The possessiveness of someone in love was terrifying.The messages and calls were all from the same person: Madison White.If I'd guessed it right, this was his girlfriend, i.e., his soon-to-be fiancée who had kicked up a stink.Alas, Sebastian was so heartless.Disagree with how he treated the girl, I turned off his phone as he asked, anyway.Then I stood up and walked to the balcony with it."Is your engagement really gonna fall through?" I handed him the phone, frowning and coughing at the smell of smoke in the air.He turned around and took it, jerking out of his trance.Noticing my reaction, he stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray. Finally, I felt better."Do you want it to?" he asked with a smir
"This is domestic violence! Why didn't you call the police?" I gaped.I wanted to roll his sleeve up further to check how badly he was injured, but he pushed my hand away.He smiled at me and said, "Don't worry. It's no big deal. I bumped into the cabinet while running."Since he refused to tell me, he must have his reasons.With a shrug, I asked, "Why did Mr. Munoz beat you so hard?""Well, it's not your fault anyway." He took a glance at me, his tone casual. Then he sat in a chair and resumed playing mobile games.I felt less guilty thanks to his answer."That's good news. Don't you have another place to go to? Why did you have to come to my house? What if your future fiancée misunderstands our relationship?" I asked."I have nowhere else to go." He replied without lifting his head."Why don't you go to the hotel? It's not like you can't afford it," I wondered."My dad froze my card." He looked up at me and asked, "You wanna drive me away?"I paused and said, "How can I let you stay
As the day darkened, I hesitated for a while and threw the underwear into the pile of old clothes that someone had prepared to donate. Then, I patted away the dust in my hands and slowly made my way back home.The moment I pushed open the door, I saw Sebastian.I reflexively stepped out, figuring I might have entered someone else's home.Yet the house number plaque proved me wrong.I took a deep breath, feeling as if my legs had turned into lead.I walked into my house again, and Sebastian was right on the sofa in the living room, eyes glued to his phone.When I was about to ask him why he was here, Hansen came out and gave me a wink."Jasmine, come over here," he said seriously.A chill stole over my body as if someone had poured a bucket of water over me.Dammit, Dad must've found out about it!Panic-stricken, I gritted my teeth and walked toward Hansen's study.As I passed the sofa, a glance at Sebastian had me gasped in astonishment.There were bruises on his neck and knees!Final
"I heard that he had an improper conversation with someone on WhatsApp.""I need all the details!" Barbara exclaimed, seized by curiosity."Well, his one-night stand asked for his address to return his clothes and told him to keep it a secret. And his future fiancée saw it all."Hansen's words almost made me choke on my coffee. To cover my nervousness, I coughed.Hansen and Barbara shifted their gaze to me as soon as they heard it.Panic overtook me. I felt like they were gonna see through me.'Do they know that I'm the person they're talking about?'I couldn't help wondering in my mind.But soon, they looked away."Alas, girls should be more cautious about sex. But if Jasmine was half as wild, she wouldn't have stayed single until now," Barbara muttered under her breath."Mom, what are you talking about?" I feigned displeasure."I'm telling the truth. All your friends got a date but you," Barbara complained, shrugging.The coffee in my mouth turned bitter.I felt like crying, but my
When I received Sebastian's message, I was dumbfounded.I read it twice, just to make sure that I got him right.Then I got so freaked out that I threw my phone onto the bed.'He wanna sleep with me again?'I covered my face and thought of the crazy night.Goosebumps exploded on my skin.He obviously didn't realize the gravity of this matter.How could he still say something like that when he was about to get engaged?I feel like everything I said earlier was a waste of effort."Do you really know what I mean?" I questioned him again.He suddenly sent me a voice message. I picked up my phone and held it to my ear.He said: "Why do you like asking me this question so much? Oh, I get it. You are trying to remind me of that night, huh?"What was he talking about?His husky voice and teasing tone made his words sound incredibly hot.I felt that he was implying something, flames of embarrassment painting my cheeks.I tossed my phone aside once again.Did I say that the other night? Why did
I didn't know where Sebastian's home was or when Hansen would be back.So, after I washed up in my room, I kept wandering around the living room."Aren't you going to work today?" Barbara couldn't help asking. It was the third time she saw me come out of my room."Mom, today's Saturday," I sighed. "You are too strict with me."With a shrug, I took out a bottle of milk from the fridge, pretending to be thirsty.I took a sip, and a sour taste filled my mouth. I immediately ran to the kitchen sink and spat it out, frowning."Mom, it's stale. Why is it still in the fridge?" I asked, shaking the milk bottle.Sitting on the couch watching TV, Barbara replied nonchalantly, "I thought you'd check the expiration date before drinking."Speechless, I walked to the dining table and sat down with my mug.After a while, Hansen finally came back.I carefully observed his facial expression. He seemed pretty natural, except looking a bit tired.Phew. It seemed he hadn't found out about it.After Hanse
"Sure. You two should have a lot to talk about." My enthusiasm stunned Hansen.In fact, I did it just to prevent Sebastian from spilling the beans."Nah. I'd prefer Hansen take me back," Sebastian refused my proposal with a smile.My dad naturally agreed.Then he returned to his room to get dressed.Barbara, on the other hand, cleared the table and carried the dishes back to the kitchen.Only Sebastian and I were left in the dining room.I stood up, walked to him, and leaned over."Why wouldn't you let me take you home?" I whispered."Don't overthink. I turned you down simply because my parents are home," he answered casually.I did a double-take and said, "I wasn't gonna visit your house."He looked up, his lips almost touching mine.Astounded, I immediately straightened up and stepped back.His gaze toward me turned meaningful."So you wanna do it again in the car?" he cooed.An embarrassed blush settled on my cheeks."Stop talking nonsense," I hissed."When did I talk nonsense?" he
My mom dragged me out of my room, my mind in turmoil."Jasmine, I'm talking to you."Jasmine?"Dad's voice jerked me out of my trance. Only then did I realize that I was already sitting at the dining table.Next to me was my mom Barbara McCarthy, and across from me was my dad Hansen McCarthy.Sebastian was sitting next to my dad.My gaze swept over to Sebastian, who was staring at me casually.What was going on exactly?My dad asked warmly, "Latte or Americano?" Then he placed the coffee cup in front of Sebastian and poured him a cup of coffee.Sebastian nodded at my dad and thanked him politely.I wanted to get up, but my mom stopped me."Go get some toast," she whispered in my ear.I looked at the bread in the basket on the table and asked, "Why? We've got toast here."Barbara rolled her eyes and said, "They have cooled. Go get the freshly baked ones."With reluctance, I did as my mom told me.Barbara then put the aromatic toast on Sebastian's plate and filled mine with the cold one
