DIANAS POVO 

“Diana you’re too kind for your own good,” he said as his eyes softened as he looked at 

1. me. 

“I just want to do what’s right,” I lied. No you’re the people pleaser and overly kind one Keith, I thought to myself as I looked at him. Can’t say I didn’t like that about him though. 

“Alright then I’ll make sure you are protected on the day and have extra bodyguards,” he assured me. 

I smiled as I nodded at him. 

Count your days Jasmine you’re going to regret messing with me. The next time Keith goes to see you, trust me, it won’t be an opportunity for you to manipulate your way to his heart. 

“In Tuesday evening I have to go one of my friends baby showers maybe afterwards I can pass by 

“At night?” Keith asked me. 

I nodded in response. It’s the only time I’ll be able to see her. She goes to work right?” 

I asked him. 

Keith then checked the time on his watch.“Is there anything in particular you would like to do there’s still time this afternoon,” He asked me. 

“As long as I’m with you, its okay we can do whatever,” I said to him trying to sound humble. 

He smiled at me. “How about you and Marco get ready and meet down here when you’re ready?“he told me. 

“Of course,” I replied smiling at him. Wished we could ditch Marco and I could be with him alone but I didn’t feel safe leaving Marco alone at home with the maids. I could bribe the maids to lie on my behalf but if they found out what I was hiding the dynamic would shift significantly, 2

I hated my mother so much for making my father leave and barely raising me, however,

55 You know what you’re doing 

there was one thing she taught me how to do. it was how to get a man to do what you want. The man my father and I had caught her sleeping with was her boss whom she worked as a maid for. Hypnotised him so good he made her his mistress and spent money on her. 

JASMINES POV 

After a moment I then heard the doorbell ring. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Who was it? If it was Keith again I was going to respectfully tell him to F off. I let out a sigh as I checked the the peephole of the door. 

My heart sank in my chest upon seeing who it was. “Diana,” I whispered in surprise. 

What was she doing here in person? And at this time? It was literally 9pm. 

One of the bodyguards rang the doorbell again. 

I didn’t open the door and instead turned away from it. Planning to ignore her. 

I made the mistake of opening for Keith and talking to him the last time. I for sure wasn’t going to open for Diana! 

“Jasmine I know you’re in there, let me in!” she demanded from outside. “I know you’re awake your lights are on.” 

I remained quiet I hoped she would give up, turn away and return to whatever hell hole she came from. There was a long pause and I thought they had given up and were leaving. 1 

Imagine my horror when a moment later the door began to unlock from the outside. The door opened and Diana along with her three bodyguards came into view. 2 

“Diana what the hell?” I asked in shock and stepped back in fear. 

“Surprised?” she asked me with a cruel smile. As she forcefully entered my house the bodyguards following close behind her. 

“How do you think I got the maids and servants got in the house the last time?” she asked me. 

“Diana, what do you want?” I asked her. 

“Shut up you little c***t, you know exactly why I’m here,” she spat out at me with such spite. 

What did she mean I knew?

55 You know what you’re doing 

“Are you insane? do you know what time it is? Does Keith know you’re here?” I asked 

her. 

“He gave me permission to come see you himself,” she told me. 

She had asked Keith to come see me and he agreed? I thought to myself. 

“Diana, I’m only going to tell you this once. Get out of my house,” I sternly told her trying to muster as much courage as I could but the guards around her had me worried. 

Her smile grew wider at this and became more cynical. “Now that’s rather rude. Why would you ask me to leave when I just got here? After I came all this way to see you?” 

“Piss off Diana,” I told her. 

“Grab her,” she then ordered the bodyguards. 

I stepped back further and ultimately tried to run away. However, before I could take another step, two of the bodyguards had reached me and grabbed hold of me. 

I shrieked and tried to escape their grasp. 

“Diana let me go what are you doing!” I told her to stop. 

“Scream any louder and your son will wake right up won’t he?” She said to me 

threateningly. I stopped squirming around, the last thing I wanted them to do was get Tony involved. 

“Take her to the lounge,” she ordered the men and took them. They had me sit on one of the couches in the lounge. The bodyguards remained holding me. Diana looked 

around the room for a moment. 

“Mmhmm the room is so clean, it’s as the maids said you really are doing it yourself,” she commented. “You work as a waitress right? Maybe you should have applied to be a maid instead. Your true calling” a 

“Diana honestly what is this about?” I asked. 

“Oh shut up,” she said as she rolled her eyes. “Bring me a drink and a glass,” she ordered the free, third bodyguard. He left and I assumed he was going to the kitchen. Diana went to sit on the armrest of the couch opposite the one I sat on.
