181 It will be over soon

What do I do? I thought to myself as I lay on the bed back down on the bed looked up at the ceiling. I wanted to do the right thing and be fair to everyone but I was finding it difficult. How evil would I look for abandoning the woman I abandoned once before and is pregnant again with my child?

How evil would I look for abandoning the woman I abandoned once before and is pregnant again with my child?

It’s just, something felt off…

Alone in the bed I ended up falling asleep first.

In the coming days I patiently waited for the hearing confident in the outcome. Once it was over I would see how balance between my plans for Jasmine and my plans for

Diana.

DIANA’S POV

“..so, I’ll handle Jasmine myself. So, you don’t have to worry about anything,” his voice trailed off as he finished speaking.

“This is good news,” I said in a low but audible voice.

“Are you going for the court hearing?” he asked me.

“Yes,”

“Good tell me how it goes,” he told me.

A wide smile came on my face as I put the phone down. I then went to the shower and switched off the running water so any servant that wasn’t on my side wouldn’t hear.

As I walked out of the bathroom Finally, the time had come for Jasmine to be rid of. I couldn’t take it anymore. The only time I’ve smiled this whole damn week since my argument with Keith on Monday.

Keith wanting to go forward with the hearing and fight for custody with Diana’s was pissing me off. I just wanted to focus on me. He said he was doing it Jasmine’s son was his son as well but I knew that was a bald–faced lie. He didn’t care about that boy until

now.

Then to top it all off the way he had coldly waved me off on that day.

I sensed he was lying to me. Again. I didn’t even want to know the answer because I

knew I would be upset. When I eventually asked my bodyguards what had happened and they informed me

Even though I knew I wouldn’t like the answer I still wanted. I knew it had something to do with her.

Jasmine had to go, she really had to go. I was getting tired of being patient and waiting for Keith to only have me to focus on. We would have to wait until after the hearing to see how it turned out. I would go to the courts with him. I wouldn’t miss it.

Every time Keith was around Jasmine I was nervous, And especially after how he evaded the question when I asked him whether he had feelings for her. But ‘he‘ told me he planned to deal with her after the hearing. Just a little more patience. I had to wait. Despite his crass and rude attitude he had never let me down. He was the only person I could trust, even more than Keith.

I left Keith and I’s bedroom and walked down the hallway. I caught a group of servants talking in whispers just at the end of the hallway. I realized it was my head maid talking to four other servants who were loyal to ‘him‘.

When they saw me approach they slowly scattered and went to different ways. Only my head maid remained as I approached.

“What was that about?” I asked my head maid.

“Nothing important ma’am, we were just having our normal group update meeting,” she

said to me.

My eyes narrowed as I blankly stared at her. “Okay,” I accepted her answer. Had ‘he‘ given them an order I wondered. I mean ‘he‘ told me it to worry about anything it so it must be nothing serious.

“I’ll have some tea and snacks prepared for you in the lounge,” she told me.

With only a few hours remaining until Keith and Marco returned I sat in the lounge thinking about my life and what lay ahead. Everything would reset once Jasmine was out of the picture.

I looked at the time and noticed it they were nearly an hour later than when they usually arrived when they picked up Marco.

“You’re little late,” I snapped at my biduguard who came in with my bodyguards.

I apologize ma’am we got stuck in traffic,” the bodyguard calmly explained.

I looked down at Marco who had a forlorn expression as he stared down at the floor.

“What’s the matter with you?” I asked him.

“Nothing mum,” he answered. I knew he had been upset lately after yelled and when he came home early from school after he fell in water.

He almost gave me a heart attack last week when I saw him. His story was . I had told him countless times how important it was for him to be careful. Most important was whether anyone had noticed anything about his eyes.

He said no one noticed anything and that he told the usual lie that I had him tell anyone who asked. That he had allergies.

“Did anything else happen?” I asked the bodyguards.

“No, ma’am,” the other curtly answered.

Marco seemed a little strange. Maybe it was all in my head.

MONDAY: COURT HEARING

JASMINE’S POV

When the day of the court hearing came on Monday morning, my hands were shaking slightly as I got ready. I was finishing up my make up in Louis‘ dressing room. I wore a formal, classy baby pink suit and having my make up match the outfit.

As I was about to finish the door to the dressing room opened.

“You ready?” Louis asked me as he entered the room. He was already ready, dressed in a fine blue suit.

“Yeah, just a little nervous,” I confessed as he stood right behind me.

“Don’t worry, you’ve got this,” he told me and squeezed my shoulders. We had already made cleared our schedule at the office so we spend the whole day in court.

I checked my phone for the time and saw it was 8:30. The hearing started at 9:30 am we had to leave latest in 20 minutes if we wanted to make it in time at the Court
