JASMINES POV 

“Like this?” I asked as I punched the dummy once more with the 

“Yeah,” he approved and then came behind me again but 

“Why do I feel like these tips of yours are excuses to dry hump me?” I said. 

“Oh, so you can molest me on a motorcycle, but god forbid I want to dry hump my girlfriend,” he complained. 

My eyes then lit up with excitement upon hearing the word ‘girlfriend, and I turned to face. 

“What did you just call me?” I asked him with a satisfied grin. I wanted to hear him repeat it. It had a nice ring to it.

Louis grinned back at him. “Nothing, must have been the wind,” he said. 

“Mmhmm, must have been the wind, right?” | mocked him. I know we had already agreed to date but it was nice hearing him claim me out 

loud. 

We stared at each other for a moment as we 

smiled at one another. 

“Oh by the way have good news for you,” he then 

said. 

“Really? What is it?” I asked excitedly. 

“I asked around and found out the bank Keith has your account in does in fact have raw backup data that they can make exceptions. So you can make a formal request to ask for the data on your account,” he told me, 

My eyes widened in surprise. “Well, why didn’t you tell me that as soon as you came into the

room?” I complained. 

“I wanted to make you feel at ease so you would really be happy when I told you,” he told me. 

I shook my head in disapproval. “Anyway, this is great! I’ll go to them and make the request.” 

Do keep in mind though that backup data will be a challange. The reason why companies don’t typically look at it is because it’s so difficult to go through. It’s all the raw unfiltered data stored in an unorganized fashion, to use the least amount of storage space in their databases. It could take a while to go through the data,” he warned. 

“Even so, I will do it,” I said. I had been with Keith for 9 years. That meant I would have to go through 9 years worth of data. Louis already had evidence of Diana calling Gatwick to set me up but it wasn’t enough. No matter how long it took I would do what I could to ensure I had 

everything I needed to finally expose Diana and

win full custody of Tony in court. 

This whole time I had put exposing Diana’s crimes aside because I didn’t care about whether 

“And I will help as well,” Louis chimed in. 

It was later that evening when I checked my emails before bed that I saw I received an email. It was from the court of family and affairs and it was to give the date for the first court proceeding of the divorce settlement. It was going to be in two weeks time. I felt a lot of pressure I had two weeks get all the evidence ready.

KEITH’S POV 

My eyes grazed over all the photos on the desk. They were the latest updates on Jasmine’s actions. Pictures of her either going to work or going out. In many of them, Louis was always

present. 

I was bothered by the fact they seemed so close. They were at 

It’s like in every picture he was always present. 

There was one picture of her, Louis, and Anthony at a museum. They looked like a little family it 

made me sick. 

I was desperately waiting for cracks to show with this ‘relationship‘ of theirs with how fast they were moving. They lived together and even though I heard she had moved out of his 

apartment they still went each others places a 

lot. 

But beyond being annoyed by them together, I was annoyed by how different Jasmine seemed. Always going out with Anthony and Louis, going to work. I never saw this side 

When we were still together she was mostly a

home body. Mainly focused on raising Anthony. I was always busy with work. We would 

occasionally do something together when I found 

time. 

Is this the kind of thing Jasmine really liked? She never asked me. Maybe I should have taken us 

out more? 

Seeing her smile in these pictures like made me wonder if I had been holding her backfrom being herself. 

“I wish I never married you you’re the worst thing that ever happened to me.” Her words to me still stung even now. 

The more I followed up with her actions the more the words I thought she hurled out at me in anger rang to be true. 

She looked to be moving on without me now. Then my troubling thoughts came back to mind. Was this my fault? Had I really chosen wrong?

The fear of it coursing through my mind. I had kicked Jasmine out of the house and left her alone too quickly? 

The only thing that brought me some relief at a possible rectifying thus issue was the first court hearing for our divorce that was in two weeks. Jasmine had no grounds to file for her contested divorce so I was sure I would win. Why would the courts refuse to allow a man who was more than financially capable to have custody of their child? 

She may try to fight it but she can’t stop it in the end. Having joint custody would allow me to still remain close to her. I had also spoken to Robert who was now dealing with Louis. 

But then what afterwards? I still had Diana to worry about as well. I couldn’t bounce between the two of them. Diana might take issue. I mean she forgave me for keeping things from her that time at the go–karting resort. I’ll figure it out.

A knock at my office door drew my attention. Knowing who it was already I clicked the buzzer to the door and opened for them. Edward 

entered my office. When he reached my desk he scanned all the pictures and documents then his eyes met mine. I could tell he was judging me. I didn’t care though. 

continue “Sir, if I may comment, but why do you requesting this information on Ms Towers if it only upsets you in the end?” he said.
