LOUIS‘ POV

My eyes opened to the sound of my alarm ringing. I used my free arm to switch it off. I then felt an unfamiliar heavy weight on my chest. I looked down and found Jasmine sleeping peacefully on me and my other arm casually wrapped around her. I recalled she was currently staying at my house. My eyes softened immediately as I brought my other arm around her and hugged her tighter.

I wished I could wake up to this sight every day. After embracing her for a bit I then the let her go and made to get out of the bed. Before I could moved Jasmine her arms tighter around me.

“Wait, don’t go” Jasmine said in a small groggy voice.

“Youre awake?” I asked her surprise,

“I woke up when your alarm rang,” she said. “Who sets an alarm for Sunday?

“I’ve got to work out,” I told her.

She hugged me tighter as she snuggled into my chest. “It’s Sunday we don’t have to get up,” she said.

“Babe, it’s already almost 11am come on how much longer do you want to sleep?” I said to her.

She then suddenly looked up at me. “Actually, can I join you this time? Perhaps we can have another boxing lesson?” she sounded so eager and excited.

“Thats new, you’re always so reluctant when I want you to train with me,” I told her siurprised by her sudden alertness.

“Shut up,” she said jokingly. “I just remembered that I would like to improve my boxing skills I might have to protect Tony and myself one of these days.”

A shiver went down my spine as I recalled the precarious situation she was in. Jasmine was in danger.

“You know I can take you to the boxing gym I initially went to to started my coach still works there he would be a far better coach than me,” I suggested.

“Really?” she asked excitedly as raised herself from her lying position and leaned on

my chest as she looked down at me. “Yes, I would love that!”

I commended her determination to protect Tony and herself. It’s just a shame she had to be in this situation at all. It worried me to imagine her having to defend herself. I brought my hand to her cheek as I looked into her spellbinding green eyes of hers.

She then met my eyes. “What’s up?” she asked wondering what I was thinking about.

I then lifted my head up and kissed her. I know it was still early in our relationship but I loved this woman. The more time I spent with her the more I craved her.

When I first reconnected with Jasmine I thought all we had to deal with was an obsessive jerk husband and an unhinged mistress. I never imagined helping her would lead to uncovering a whole conspiracy.

I would do everything I could to protect her so that she never had to defend herself. However, in case she was in trouble and something happened to her bodyguards or something I would rather she be prepared.

We agreed to go the gym in the afternoon since it was already late morning. Went then got out of bed and left my bedroom room. I called the gym and made an appointment for Jasmine and Tony with my former coach.

We had a late brunch and then all three of us prepared to leave.

The boxing gym was in city center so we didn’t have to go far from the apartment. Many memories of my teenage years came to mind as we entered the gym. At the reception of the gym I told them I had an appointment with Mrs Freeman and they told which section to find her.

“Mrs Freeman?” Jasmine said in surprise as we made our way to the coach.

“Whats wrong?” I asked.

“I didn’t expect the coach to be a woman for some reason,” she explained.

“Dont worry she’s really good,” I assured her.

“Hello Mrs Freeman,” I greeted my former coach. A middle–aged woman with silver hair and slightly wrinkled skin.

“Mr Carrington, long time,” she greeted me and we hugged. “Now I think I told you I don’t appreciate last–minute coaching requests so why would you call today?

“Im sorry,

Mrs Freeman,” I chuckled nervously.

“Don’t do it again,” she said as she punched me in the stomach. I winced as I grabbed

my stomach. She was still as strong as ever. “I accepted today today because I missed my former student.”

She then turned to Jasmine and Tony. “So these are my students?” She asked.

“Yes,” I answered.

I watched Jasmine and Tony from the sidelines. Once I confimed they were alright I then went to go my isn personal training a free section nearby. I hadn’t worked out at home in the morning so I would work out now.

I began my training kicking and punching at a dummy in an empty boxing ring. Jasmine and Tony’s lesson was a two hour long session so I could take my time. After a while my phone started ringing and I picked it up.

“Sir, we have looked into the landlord of the apartment the man who is supposed to be the owner doesn’t actually exist. We looked his personal details to see if we could track him but nothing came up.” he explained.

I scoffed upon hearing that. Just as I had suspected.

The apartment was probably bought by whoever Diana’s sponsor was. The apartment was used as a cover to make it seem like Diana lived there in those eight years but she was probably with her sponsor most of the time.

“We’ve sent you an email of the information we have found so far. We will also deliver a physical copy to you later today.” the bodyguard went on.

“Okay,” I accepted. I then clicked off the call my phones I checked the email he had sent me. It contained details of the non–existent landlord.

Once I was done skimming through the general detailsof the document I closed it. I would look into it more when I got home.

My eyes then glanced at the email below the one I had been sent. It was the one I had received the day before whilst I was in the train on the way to Kensington. It was from my brothers assistant.
