Gauarded hearts

Chapter 6

Rosen

I was watching Jasmine soak up all the information her dad was giving her, she was uneasy, she didn't seem shocked to find out one of her best friends was a Mafia Princess, which made me wonder if she already knew that. By the looks of it, she did. But the part where she was one that freaked her out. I could tell she was getting fidelity the moment she stood up. She's hard to read but I could tell something was off. The same feeling when I was waiting for her in the hall yesterday at the wedding. I could sense something was off. I have 3 people on my team. Me, people reader hacker, and protector. Jake, hacker, bodyguard. Is not afraid to kill. Marcos boxer, spy, and planner, Mute. Each has its own skill. Each I've trained professionally. Jake is very protective and takes his job to the next level. He's the muscle. I'm the brains, and Marcos is everything. That guy is scary but also has a sweat heart.  My team., My life, my brothers. I'd do anything for them. There family.

"Jasmine is passed out, she started shaking and crying. What is wrong with her what do I do?" I ask Jake setting Jasmine in the back seat and rushing towards the hospital.

"FUCK!, she's prone to panic attacks, must have been a hell of a bad one we are going to meet you at the hospital. Keep her alive!" Jake yells for the guys to pack up. I hang up and speed off toward the hospital.

"Marcos, the side of the road is Jasmin's bike. Pick it up and take it to her home. I'm heading towards the hospital. Not one scratch on that bike or I'll take it out of your paycheck." I tell Marcos before hanging up.

"FUCK!" I yell punching the steering wheel, I pull up to the hospital and carry Jasmine bridal style and the nurse takes her back to the room I stay in the waiting room waiting for her brother to come. 10 mins later they come running in the door.

"Where is she!" Mr. White yells at the receptionist.

"Who?"

"My daughter Jasmine White was just brought in. "

"Room 201"

"Thanks" he and Jake take off and I follow behind.

I hate the sight I see, tubes, breathing mask, she looks dead almost but I hear her heart beating.

"We stressed her out too much dad. We should have eased into this shit." Jake says grabbing Jasmin's hand. It hurts my heart to watch I wish I could hold her hand.

"Jake, even if we didn't rip the bandage off hard she would have reacted the same way, it had to be done, shes killing herself with all the work she is doing, probably not even sleeping more than 2 hours, you know this about her, shes to strong for her own good. We need to send her to a cabin in the woods for a few weeks to train her. To make her focus on herself for once, I know she loves her job and life. But it's killing her." her dad says looking down at Jasmine. He's not wrong.

"Yeah, but you know she won't go without a fight, her job means the world to her, she will not go willingly, she has her weeks filled with weddings and editing, she doesn't accept help, she's stubborn." Jake laughs.

"She got that from her mom, she's not like other kids, who party and rebel, she's too focused on her work. She doesn't date, doesn't have fun, only works." Mr. White says with a smile.

"Well, there was a time she would go out, but her work makes her so happy, Mom would be proud of her that's for sure," Jake says

"That may be true, but she only takes off her birthday every year. Her heart is broken, she may think she hides that. But she is heartbroken after we missed her 8th birthday she was never the same.  Something happened. Hell, when she was 4 she changed.  Then at 15, she threw herself into studies and work. She stopped being my daughter and started being a woman who thought she had to stop being a kid." Mr. White says with a sigh and goes over to Jasmine and kisses her forehead.
