The City Held Its Silence byIrel Knx 207

207 I didn’t want things to be this way 

“You must have lost your mind, and I’ll help you find it,” the words left my mind through gritted teeth.“Even if you have the court order to be my guardian it only applies if I’m unwell enough to make my own decisions. Give me back my phone!” I demanded him. O 

I’m sure if I could contact the courts and show them I was capable of making decisions they would change their decision to make him my caretaker. 

I thought of how bizarre his actions had been lately. He was always following me around, suddenly appearing and trying to disturb me. Like a bizarre obsession. Still, I never imagined it would result in something like this! 

“Even if you keep me here, Louis will ask about me! He will question why I can’t contact him!” I pointed it out to him. 

“And even if he does Jasmine, nothing will change. Did you read the order properly? You being conscious does not mean you’re medically competent.The court ruled that due to the attempt at your life, your injuries and the trauma surrounding Anthony’s kidnapping, you’re temporarily not considered medically competent to make major decisions. So there is nothing Louis can do,” he told me. 

My eyes narrowed at how calculated this was. 

Also, if he kept me from contacting anyone he could get away with it. 

He had told me the reason none of the workers in this estate had their phones was to prevent them from scheming like Diana and her friends had been. 

But that didn’t apply to me though, I wouldn’t betray myself. He didn’t want me to have my phone so he could maintain this guardianship. 

“Instead of pulling weird stunts like this why didn’t you try to talk to me like a normal person first?” I asked him. I knew why but still decided to ask. He knows it I would have instantly refused. 

He stared at me blankly as if he didn’t hear me. My hands at my sides were balled into fists, annoyed by how it felt like he was toying with me. 

already had enough to deal with since Tony had been kidnapped, now I had to deal with Keith holding me against my will!

“You know Keith, I thought you finding out the truth about Diana would make you have SOME shame and remorse for what you put me through in the last two years,” I started. 

He then suddenly looked away from me as an expression of nervousness came over him. His eyes were unable to meet mine. 

“We are technically in this mess because of you! I tried to tell you time and time again since the beginning that something was strange about Diana and her child. And what did you tell me, Keith!?” I let out. “You told me I was jealous and desperate for your attention.” 

“She was deceiving me, Jasmine. I had no idea how I had predicted she was capable of changing bank statements?” he explained. 

My voice choked as my frustration boiled over. “Even if that’s true Keith. You never gave me the benefit of the doubt. You believed her lies easily but when it came to me you were quick to doubt me and take her side!” 

His jaw tensed as a conflicted expression appeared on his face. 

“…I’m sorry Jasmine,” he weakly apologized. “I was wrong and I made a mistake.” 

“You didn’t accidentally slip inside Diana’s vagina so it wasn’t a mistake. And if you were actually sorry you wouldn’t be trapping me here!” hoping he would come to his 

senses. 

What followed was silence from him. His eyes still didn’t meet mine. 

“Say something dammit!” I yelled at him. 

“Look… Jasmine,” he started slowly finding his words. “I know you’re upset and I wish things hadn’t turned out this way but we’ll work through this,” he said to me. 

“Work through what!?” I yelled at him. That wasn’t what I wanted to hear. Frustrated I looked to my side and saw a vase on the small coffee table beside the couch. 

I picked it up and threw it at Keith. He quickly used his arm to throw the vase to the side and it fell to the floor, breaking into pieces. 

I then stood up and tried to lunge at him. However, the sudden movement had me feeling dizzy from my head that was still throbbing and I winced in pain from my body putting weight on my injured leg. I held out my hands to scratch him. 

Keith immediately stood up and came toward me.

“Jasmine your leg is injured,” he told me. His voice was laced with shameless concern as he stared at my leg. “You’ll hurt yourself.” 

He caught my hands and picked me up. As I screamed out he placed me over his shoulder. I hit his back with my hands which were formed into fists. 

The bodyguards rushed towards us. Keith handed me over to one of the bodyguards. 

Keith looked down at the floor for a moment as an expression I couldn’t quite read appeared on his face. 

“…Take my wife to her room and watch her, make sure you’re careful with her since she’s injured,” he instructed them. 

“I’ll come talk to you when you have calmed down a bit,” he said to me still not looking 

at me. 

“Screw you!” I said to him. I was never going to be calm. I struggled in the hold of the bodyguard trying to free myself. “Keith, let me go!” I told him. 

They then began to make their way to the exit as Keith sat on the arm of the couch and brought his hands to his face burying his head in them. As if something was bothering 

him. 

There was no way this was actually happening. He was completely taking advantage of the fact that I was injured! 

The bodyguards took me to my room. They placed me on my bed and left closing the door behind them. I tried to follow afyernthem but my leg let me down. By the time I reached the door, to was too late. 

“Open this door!” I yelled, banging my hands against the door. I couldn’t believe this. “Keith!” 

Very quickly I became tired from all the overexertion I put my body through. Slowly I slumped down with my body against the wall.
