Chapter 4: Resistance / Surprise Surprise!

Huey stared at the email. He was in his safe house in a secret location. He was only checking his guns were in safety when he got the message. Is he fucking kidding me? He thought, furious. He dialled the unknown number back, and there was an answer after one ring.

Huey didn't even greet him. "Are you fucking kidding me?"

"Huey--"

"What the hell did she even do? She's no threat. To you, or the rest of society."

"If you let me finish, you'd find out."

Huey pressed his lips together.

"Tom DuBios sent many good men of mine to jail. Most of those idiots were undercover and stupid enough to get caught. We're simply using Miss DuBios as leverage."

"So...I don't have to..."

"No, not yet anyway. We just need to keep her in hostage and use it to our advantage."

"Jasmine is a super model with guards that would kill for her. How am I supposed to get to her unseen?"

"You won't. Bye bye now, Mr Freeman." The line went dead. Huey felt his hold on the phone tighten.

Jasmine opened her eyes and squinted at the light streaming past the curtains. She hugged her pillow as she lay under her plush, white duvet. She heard a door open and closed her eyes in an instant. She heard footsteps. They stopped on her side of the bed, she heard a sigh before feeling lips peck her forehead, then the footsteps faded away as they left the room. She opened her eyes again and sat up in bed. It was only until she heard the gate open and the engine of a speeding car that she sat up in bed.

I should be ashamed of myself, she thought, hugging her knees to her chest. It was true. She fought with Jackson sometimes so they wouldn't have sex, so she wouldn't risk pregnancy. He wanted a kid, but she didn't. She still hadn't forgiven him for the affair he had months ago with an ex colleague. Ethan had done a good job, hiding it from the media. She was going to get pregnant, then what? Be on maternity leave, fat while she went back to work every day and mingled with the other gorgeous women they worked with?

Her I-phone began ringing on the nightstand. She picked it up slowly and answered, "Hello?"

"Morning, Jasmine! How's my favourite client this fine morning?" She could hear the voices in the background, the footsteps, Ethan was always in busy places.

"Fine I guess."

"I just wanted to remind you that you've got a busy schedule today, baby. Don't forget about your interview with Taylor this afternoon. Oh! And we have to take your head shots, I'll be waiting for you outside. Be ready in--"

"I'll be ready in ten," Jasmine interrupted. She knew her schedule, every detail, because forgetting would get her in trouble. Taylor's Talk show had the biggest ratings, she was almost as big as Oprah, almost. Jasmine would ditch, but Taylor had been making calls to have her on her show for months. It was hard to get someone as big as Jasmine.

"Alright then. See you."

Jasmine cut first and tossed the phone on Jackson's side. Her eyes wandered to the expensive diamond ring on the night stand and her eyes darkened.

"Hey hey, everybody! I'm Taylor Mitchell and welcome to Taylor's Talk!" The audience cheered. "I'm proud to say we have a very special guest with us this morning, ladies and gentlemen. Supermodel Jasmine DuBios!"
