~ Jasmine's POV ~

I woke up by someone calling my name, I turned around to look at the person, and let out a gasp. I quickly covered myself since I'm slept with a tank top and it's very see through.

" Sorry, didn't mean to scare you. " Massimo said.

" I-It's * Cleared throat * okay. What's up? "

" Today is your lucky day. " He sat down on the end of the bed.

I sat up, still covering myself, looked at him in confusion and said " What do you mean? "

" You're not gonna have Vito guarding your door anymore. "

" Why? "

" I trust you, but there's still gonna be my men around so don't try anything I wouldn't do. "

" Okay. "

" You're also allowed to go outside the house but not alone. Got it? "

I nod my head and said " Yes sir. "

" Alright, that's all. Get dressed. " He got off the bed and walked out of the room.

I got out of bed, fixed it, walked over to the closet, grabbed a outfit and do my routine. Walked out of the bathroom wearing this:

Walked out of the room and saw that Vito isn't guarding my door anymore. I walked over to the kitchen, greeted Alessia and she greeted me back. Asked her what we are gonna be making, she told me and we get started on cooking.

" Good morning. "

I turned around, saw Isabella, I smiled at her and Alessia and I said " Good morning. "

Isabella looked at me and said " I got the news. That's great that you can go outside. "

" I know, I've been dying to go outside. "

" Good morning everyone. " Aurora walked in the kitchen.

" Good morning. "

A few minutes later, we are here in the dining room eating, Isabella looked at Massimo and said " Since you gave Jasmine permission to go outside the house can we take her shopping? "

" No."

" But you said that she can go outside? "

" Yeah, outside the house. "

" Wait, wait. * Looked at Massimo * You allowed her to leave the house? " Dante said.

" Yeah? You got a problem with it? " Isabella said.

" I'm sorry, did I asked you? "

Isabella gripped her fork and said " Don't make me throw this fork at you. "

" You won't do shit. "

Massimo looked at Dante and said " Dante. "

" What? "

" Talk to my sister like that again and I'll - "

Massimo said something in Italian to Dante which caused everyone to look at him in shock, I looked around in confusion, Dante looked pissed, Massimo stopped talking, and I said " What did he say? "

Dante looked at me and said " Shut the fuck up Jasmine. " He grabbed his plate, got up and walked away.

Massimo looked at me and said " Don't mind him, eat. "

Isabella looked at me and nod her head and I said " Okay. "

**

Aurora and Isabella went out for a mission, I decided to go outside, I walked over to my bedroom, grabbed my sketch book and pencil pouch. Walked outside to the backyard, find a tree and sat down.

It feels so good to finally be outside, I saw that there's a lot of Massimo's men standing around, I opened my sketch book to a blank page and get started on drawing.

~ Massimo's POV ~

I walked out of my office to the kitchen, grabbed a glass cup, poured myself some water and took a sip out of it. I looked out the window and saw Jasmine sitting by a tree drawing in her sketch book.

I finished my drink, walked to the backyard, Jasmine hummed to herself, I walked over to her and said " Hey. "

She looked up at me and said " Hi. "

" Mind if I sit? "

She nod her head and said " Go for it. "

I sat down next to her, looked at her drawing and said " Nice drawing. "

" Thanks. Can I ask you a question? "

" Sure. "

" Can I get a video game system? "

" Sure, which one do you want? "

She told me what game system she wants, I nod my head and said " Okay, I'll let the guys know. "

" Really? "

" Sure. Just tell me what games you want. "

She told me what games she want, I typed them down on my phone, and once she's done, I send it to Angelo.

~ Jasmine's POV ~

" It'll be here later. "

" Okay. Do you draw? "

" Uh, sometimes. When I'm not too busy. "

I nod my head and said " Can I ask you another question? "

" Sure. "

" Well, since I called my Mom last time. I was wondering if I can call Eduard? "

Massimo let out a sigh and said " Come with me. I want to show you something. "

We got up, walked inside the house, I followed Massimo to his office, he closed the door behind me and said " Have a seat on the couch. "

I sat down on the couch, set my sketch book and pencil pouch on the coffee table, Massimo walked over to his desk, opened a drawer, and grabbed a envelope.

He walked over to me, gave me the envelope, sat down across from me, I looked at the envelope, looked at him and said " What's in here? "

" Something you should see, your little boyfriend isn't what you think. Open the envelope and see it for yourself. "

I opened the envelope, took the pictures out, looked at it, let out a gasp, looked through them, and said " What? "

There's pictures of Eduard sleeping with multiple women, I noticed one of them is my best friend Emma. I felt my blood boil and said " That bitch, how could she do this to me?! "

He got up from the couch, walked over to me, sat down, looked at the picture and said " Do you know her? "

" Yeah, she's my friend. "

I looked through the pictures, felt my eyes start to tear up, I looked at him and said " Where did you get these? "

" Let's just say I have eyes around. "

I nod my head and he said " I just wanted to let you know what kind of guy he is. "

I looked at the picture, looked at him and said " Thank you for letting me know. "

" You're welcome. "

I tried to not break down in front of him, I cleared my throat and he said " You still want to talk to him? "

" I don't know.. "

" You don't have to, I won't force you. "

" I want to let him know that it's over. "

He nod his head, got up from the couch, walked over to his desk, grabbed a burner phone, walked over to me and gave me the phone.

" Put it on speaker. "

I nod my head, dial Eduard's phone number, the phone rang, it rang for a while, I was about to hang up until I heard:

Eduard: Hello?

Me: Eduard?

Eduard: Who's this?

Me: It's me, Jasmine.

Eduard: Who?

Me: Jasmine, your girlfriend.

Eduard: Oh.. Hi..

Me: Really? That's all you gotta say? " Hi " ?

Eduard: Uh.. Where are you? I missed you.

Me: Yeah right, doesn't seem like it.

Eduard: What do you mean?

Me: You know what I mean! You cheated on me behind my back.

Eduard: I did not.

Me: Stop lying! You know you cheated.

Eduard: I never cheated on you. I don't know where you got it from. Who ever told you, is lying.

Me: You cheated on me with multiple women and Emma! My best friend Emma! How could you do this to me?!

Eduard: I didn't sleep with-

Me: DON'T FUCKING LIE TO ME EDUARD!!!

I heard someone talking in the background " Babe, are you coming to bed? "

Me: Who's that?!

Eduard: Uh..

" Is that your sister? Tell her I said hi. "

Me: Sister?!

" I'll be right there. " Eduard said to her.

I heard they kissed and she said " I'll be waiting. "

Eduard: Babe..

Me: No, don't you fucking call me that! How long have you been sleeping around?

He stood quiet and I said:

Me: Answer me Eduard!! How long?!

Eduard: 6 months.

Me: 6 MONTHS?! We've been dating for 7 months! I can't believe you would do this!

Eduard: I have needs Jasmine! You never want to do anything! I can't wait any longer!

Me: Wow, I can't believe you!! You cheated on me because I didn't have sex with you?!

Eduard: Uh yeah.

Me: I can't believe I ever went out with you. Fuck you! I wish I never met you! Have a nice life! It's over!

I hanged up before he can get a chance to say anything, I gave the phone to Massimo, he broke it, I let out a sob and cried.

~ Massimo's POV ~

Wow, I can't believe he would do this to her. Cheated on her for 6 months because she didn't want to have sex with him? Who would do that?!

When they were talking, I gripped my desk with my hands until they're white. She started screaming at him and crying, it made me want to kill him for making her cry. She even cussed at him, which I never heard her say.

Jasmine hanged up the phone, gave it to me, I broke it, she let out a sob and cried. I let out a sigh, walked over to her and said " Jasmine.. "

She got up from the couch, gave me a hug, cried on my chest, I clenched my jaw, she quickly pulled away, looked at me, wiped her tears and said " I'm sorry I- "

I bring her close to me, wrapped my arms around her, she cried on my chest, I rubbed her back and said " I'm sorry Jasmine. "

" How could he do this to me? I thought he loved me. I guess I was wrong. "

I did something that I never done before, I kissed her hair and she said " Is there something wrong with me? "

" No, look at me. "

She moved her face away from my chest, looked at me, I cupped her face with my hands, wiped her tears and said " No, there's nothing wrong with you. He's an idiot for cheating on you. You want me to kill him? "

She shooked her head and said " No. "

I moved my hands away from her face, she hugged me, I hugged her back, kissed her hair again, heard the door opened and saw Isabella walked in.

" What's going on here? "

Jasmine pulled away from the hug, looked at Isabella and said " My boyfriend cheated on me. "

" Oh honey, come here. " She spread her arms open.

Jasmine walked over to her, they hugged, and Isabella said " Let's go have a girls night and eat lots of ice cream, how does that sound? "

Jasmine pulled away from the hug, looked at her and said " Good. "

" Let's go. "

Jasmine looked at me and said " Thank you Massimo, for telling me. "

I nod my head and said " You're welcome. "

They walked out of my office, I let out a sigh, saw that Jasmine left her sketch book on the coffee table and thought to myself that I'm going to give it to her later.

I grabbed my phone from the desk, called one of my men and told him the plan.

**

~ Jasmine's POV ~

Isabella and I are walking down the hallway, she rubbed my back, I saw Aurora, she looked at me and said " What's wrong? "

" My boyfriend cheated on me. "

" That fucker! You want me to kill him? "

I shooked my head and said " No. " and wiped my tears.

I saw Angelo walked out of my room, looked at me and said " Hey, your gaming system is here. Are you crying? "

" Her boyfriend cheated on her. " Aurora said to her Dad.

" Want me to kill him? " Angelo said to me.

I shooked my head and said " No. "

" Let's go watch a movie and eat lots of ice cream. " Aurora said.

" You're better off without him Jasmine. Hope you feel better. "

" Thank you. "

Angelo nod his head, walked away, the girls and I walked over to the movie room, played a movie and ate some ice cream.

* Few Hours Later *

I am here in my room, reading a book, I can't sleep. I let out a sigh with frustration, got out of bed, walked out of the bedroom to the kitchen and got myself some ice cream.

~ Massimo's POV ~

I can't sleep, I looked up at the ceiling, let out a sigh, thinking about how Jasmine wrapped her arms around me. She's so tiny compared to me.

I got out of the bed, walked over to the bathroom, took a shower, stand there and letting the water hit my body. I bring my arms up, rest my hands on the tile wall and looked down.

I've never felt this way before, if she was my girlfriend I would never hurt or cheat on her. We would have sex whenever she's ready and I would never pressure her to do anything she doesn't want to do. Seeing her like this made me feel something, something I can't explain.

A few minutes later, I got out of the shower, dried myself, wrapped the towel around my waist, and walked out of my bathroom to my bedroom. Poured myself some whiskey, walked over to the living chair in the balcony, sat down, took a sip out of the whiskey, let out a sigh and looked out.

Once I finished my whiskey, I changed into my boxers, put on my slides, walked out of my bedroom to the kitchen to get some water and I saw Jasmine eating my ice cream.

" Hey. " I said.

She jumped up a little, looked at me and said " You scared me. "

" Sorry. " I poured myself some water.

Turned around to look at her and said " How's the ice cream? "

" It's good. "

" I know cause that's my ice cream. "

" Oh, I didn't know. * Closed the lid * Here. "

I shooked my head and said " No, it's fine. Eat it. "

" Are you sure? "

" Yes. "

" Okay. "

" What are you doing up? "

" I couldn't sleep. What about you? "

" Couldn't sleep either. How you feeling? "

" A little better. "

I nod my head and said " Want me to help? "

She looked at me in confusion and said " What do you mean? "

" Trust me, you're gonna like it. Come on. "

She got off the chair, put the ice cream back in the freezer, we walked over to my office, I grabbed the pictures, turned on the fireplace, looked at her and said " I want you to burn these pictures. "

She nod her head, grabbed the pictures, burned them one by one in the fireplace, once she's done, I looked at her and said " How do you feel? "

" Much better. "

" Good. Here, you left your sketch book in my office. "

She walked over to the coffee table, grabbed her sketch book and pencil pouch, looked at me and said " Thank you. "

" You're welcome. "

" I'm going to go to sleep. Thank you for everything. "

I nod my head and said " You're welcome. "

" Good night. "

" Good night bellissima. "

She walked out of my office, I looked at the fireplace, watching the pictures burn, turned off the fireplace, walked out of my office to my bedroom and go to sleep.
