"You! There she is!! She did this to me! I am telling you all. It was her who did all of this to me! She almost killed me today. Why the hell don't you guys believe me!" Laila screeched on top of her lungs as soon as she saw Jasmine entering her room.
Entering with her proud attitude, she looked at everyone who gazed back at her because of Laila's accusations.
"She didn't do any of it. She-" Daniel started but was cut off by Jasmine when she lifted her finger in the air.
"You said it was me who did that?" Jasmine asked before sitting on the spare seat.
"From the last talk I remember, you were saying that I am not me but Victoria who has come back to snatch away your position, so tell me was it me who did it, or Victoria who did it," Jasmine asked.
"Of course it's you who did it because you are Victoria." Laila screeched again, making Damien look at Jasmine with a complicated expression.
"You also said that Victoria was a greedy bitch who craved power and had a guy Alexander wrapped around her fingers, but you love him, and you won't let anything happen to him. Let me ask you again, was it me or Victoria who did that to you?" Jasmine asked again.
"Of course it's Victoria who did this to me because she didn't want me marrying Damien. She-"
"In all your sentences, you've been calling me Victoria when you can clearly see that I am a different person. Hence proved. She has lost her mind and is incapable of forming and judging anything with sanity. I think your obsession for the alpha king is getting to you, and that's the reason you try to shoot away every girl who comes close to him, be it me or Alpha King's secretary, Melissa.
Besides, I don't take such insults lightly. I was your guest in this mansion, if I can't receive as much as a little respect from the people living here, I don't see a reason to live here.
We were going sightseeing at Daniel's house anyway, I'll be living there with Daniel.
I don't want to live in an empty mansion with people of zero etiquettes." Jasmine said, turning around.
"Wait. You are not going anywhere. You'll live here only. You are right, you are my guest, and everyone will have to respect you. Laila, apologize to Jasmine for all the false accusations you made on her." Damien said with a stern look.
"Dam-, but-, huh...I am sorry." Laila said with a stiffened expression when her eyes met with Damien's cold one.
"Okay, I forgive you. Also, let me tell you, I don't do this torture shit. For me it's a clean-cut that takes people's lives. Also, I don't take cursing nicely. You call me a bitch again, and I'll make sure you die a bitchy death." Jasmine said before linking her hand with Daniel and pulling him out of the room.
"She was lying, Damien. It wasn't really-"
"This is the last warning from me, Laila. You stay away from her, or I'll rip your head with my bare hands." Damien seethed, cutting of Laila before exiting the room.
'Jasmine, don't be overboard. It's time for you to come back.' Jasmine heard a voice as soon as she sat on the dining table, making her stumble.
"Hey, are you okay?" Daniel said, immediately helping her.
"Yeah, umm…I am fine. Just a bit of headache." Jasmine said through her smile.
"I am sorry you had to go through such things. And what you said in the room is right. If you don't like here, we will go back to my house or back to Alpha sam's pack, okay? But for now, what do you suggest we do next after the eating?" Daniel asked to distract her mind from things.
"I don't know, I am not sure if I want to stroll around anymore," Jasmine said, and Daniel was about to ask her to cheer up, however, before he could utter a word, he heard his cellphone ringing, he was about to decline the call, however, when he saw the last digits of the phone number, he stood abruptly almost making the chair to fall.
"Hey, are you okay?" Jasmine asked, confused.
"Yeah, ..umm...I am fine. I need to take this call. It's urgent." Daniel said before rushing out of the dining hall without even waiting for Jasmine's reply.
"Well, that's weird," Jasmine said aloud before looking at the noodles in front of her.
Taking some noodles on her plate, she was about to start eating when the rest of the members living in the mansion started to enter the hall.
Oh, how could she forget, she was not alone with Daniel anymore and was sitting in a freaking mansion. She thought annoyed before waiting for everyone to sit down.
"Jasmine, dear, today we forgot to ask you about your favorite dishes, but rest assured you can tell the chef to cook anything that you would like to eat the next time," Rosaline said with a smile on her face.
"Rest assured, Mrs. Roosevelt, my Danny takes enough care of me to arrange what I like and discard what I dislike from in front of me. You don't need to do that 'extra' effort to take care of me." Jasmine smiled coldly, making Rosaline's smile stiffen.
Looking at his wife's expression, Theodore placed his hand on to of her to console her.
"She is right, Mine. You can tell the chef that what you would like to eat, and he'll prepare that for you." Damien said with a soft smile, making Jasmine nod.
Meanwhile, in the garden of the mansion, Daniel finally picked up the call.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Dan? Baby Dan, is that you?" A female voice asked loudly.
"Yes, mom, it's me. Don't need to shout. I can hear you pretty well." Daniel rolled his eyes, though his eyes were brimming with tears since he was talking to his mom after two years.
"Where the hell were you!! Do you have any idea how worried I was? When I came to know that you left pearly Canines, I tried to get in contact with you, however, no matter how much I called you, or ask a witch to search for you, it was futile. You were nowhere you be found. Do you have any idea how dangerous it was!" His mother yelled, making Daniel chuckle at her.
"Mr. Daniel, this isn't funny. You made my wife cry today. Do you have any idea what I'll do to you once I see you? You are warned. I'll spank you like I used to do when you were a kid." He heard his father saying, making him chuckle more.
"Mom, Dad, I am fine. Don't worry about it. Besides, Azrael had known about where I was. I thought she must've had told you about it." He said, leaning on a random tree.
"Azrael? Are you talking about your granny? You are in contact with her? The last day we talked to her and asked her if she was in contact with you, she clearly denied it. Why would she do so?" His mother said.
"Nel, don't you find it strange? Why would she lie to us?" His mother asked his father.
"Okay, we'll talk to her about it later. Tell me, have you found the girl that I asked you to find?" His mother asked, which immediately sobered all of them.
"Ma, you said that she'll be coming to pearly Canines herself, but the indications that you gave me, I can't find it on any girl. However, there is indeed a girl who is quite suspicious to me. Her name is-" Before Daniel could complete his sentence, he heard Jasmine calling for him.
"I'll talk to you later ma. I need to babysit this girl." Daniel said.
"Your mate?" Her mom asked expectantly.
"More than a mate, ma," Daniel said before ending the call and going back inside the mansion with a content smile on his face.
