chapter 1: the breakup

Jasmine Blake,daughter of Edwin Jackson Blake left the Blake's group of company at exactly four p.m and got into the driver's seat of her white mercedes.

She closed her eyes and leaned her hair backward thinking of the things she needed to do.

First she would drive to her fiancé's house to see him then head home to do some paper work.

Carl Davies,her fiancé had arrived yesterday from Paris where he went to see his aunt.

It's going to be a surprise visit after the call she gave him last night. She started her car and drove through the already opened gates of the Blake's group of company.

The traffic she met was a heavy one due to the fact that this is most companies closing hour and workers will be heading home.

I should have waited for at least thirty minutes to avoid this...she thought. It took almost an hour before she was finally free from the heavy traffic and got to Carl's home.

She climbed the stairs leading to Carl's front door and rang the door bell twice. After two minutes of getting no response, she rang the door bell again and decided to try the door.

The door was opened,she got inside and found the living room  empty of anyone. Her eyes roamed the parlour and settled on the dining table near the kitchen.

On the table were two tables of vodka,one empty and one half-full.

Jeez! Carl is probably drunk,let me check his room.

She climbed the polished wooden stairs that led to a passage with Carl's room by the left.

She thought and opened the door and what she saw almost brought her down to her knees that she had to lean on the wall for support, in seconds came her anger as she shouted "Carl!". Carl snapped his head toward the direction of the voice.

"Jasmine!" He exclaimed.

Jasmine didn't wait for it,she stormed downstairs,got in her car and drove home.

Damn, Carl and Claudia, Carl got back with Claudia, he slept with her damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

She drove into the parking space of the Blake's residence and stormed upstairs not noticing her father sitting on the living room's sofa.

On getting to her room,she slammed her door and flung her bag at the floor.

"Where did I go wrong?" She blurted and flung the porcelain white vase at the wall smashing it to pieces. "Damn you carl! Damn you. Argh!"

She ran to her her bed and sat down on it,she wanted to calm down but she couldn't.

She wanted to release the anger inside her so she pummeled her fist into her pillow and removed her clothes heading straight for the shower. She needed that spray of cool water to calm her and her anger.

The cold water did its magic.

It cooled her anger and calmed her,immediately making her weak. After some while in the shower,she came out and wore a bathrobe,heading to her bed she laid on it,her face pointed towards the ceiling.
