Jazmine is Just Mine

====== City Arena (Oskar's Awards 2021) ======

Jazmine Hale's Point of View

In this prestigious award where popular personalities are gathered in one place to receive their respective awards, here I am, sitting, fidgeting my fingers and taking a deep sigh as I wait for my name to be called.

"And the Oskar's best actress awards goes to---" Derek said as he take a glimpse on that little square thing that he's holding.

That little square thing is where my life depends right now, in that little square thing is the name of the star of the night, this year's best actress.

I've been taking a deep sigh since this award's night started. I was fidgeting my fingers because of extreme nervousness hoping for my name to be called, I may not show it but I'm very very nervous inside. Being nominated in an oskars awards as best actress is already a huge thing but winning it is a different story.

Imagine, joining this industry just a couple of years ago and being nominated in this award together with these experienced actresses is already fulfilling and since I'm becoming greedier, I suddenly want to win this award. I took a deep sigh when Derek suddenly shifted his gaze in to my direction.

"Jazmine Hale, congratulations" He said, I smiled as the camera focuses on to my direction.

I heard their hypocritic claps as I walk towards that red carpet up to the stage to get my trophy.

Derek handed me my trophy and a bouquet of flowers "The stage is yours" Derek said as he hand me a mic so that I could speak my acceptance speech.

I smiled and looked at the people sitting in this arena wearing fabulous dresses and tuxedos designed by world renowned designers. Expensive dresses and suits to show off but inside they are all just as greedy and selfish as I am.

Some of them are genuinely smiling and happy for me while some of them are hypocritically putting on a smile and are clapping but thinks that I don't deserve the award and that they deserve it better than I do. How funny to see people think that way.

I smiled after taking a few pictures of me with my trophy, I immediately sent it to Ivan so that he could see it even though he was not at the awards night yesterday.

Ivan Seville, he is my long time boyfriend and fiancee, our wedding will take place three months from now but he's currently out of the country because of work reasons. 

He is currently in singapore to film an indie film together with Cindy, my best frriend. Ivan is a singer actor who is more experienced than me in the entertainment industry while Cindy is my one and only loyal best friend who will get into a fight for me and with me.

Cindy and I both started as models and both auditioned in a drama series which fortunately boomed because of its good plot and its A-list lead actors.

Cindy and I were both recognized because of that drama series and now we are both working hard to reach the top, today I just reached that dream. I even got a title for myself, Jasmine Hale--- the goddess and beauty

I was startled when suddenly my phone vibrated, Cindy is calling me. I smiled as I answer my phone.

"You bitch! Why are you calling me from a domestic number? Was the filming done?" I asked and then I heard a chuckle from the other side of the line.

"Are you laughing at me bitch?" I asked 

"Isn't obvious? Stupid, anyways I'm currently still busy right now, I just called you to let you know that we are back and if I say WE are back means your man is also in the country and he is maybe preparing something for you?" Cindy said making my eyes glimmer because of excitement.

"For real?! Oh my gosh I gotta go then bitch, I think he's waiting for me at the condo" I said and hanged up the call.

I excitedly fixed my self as I let my manager fix my things.

"Jude can't you move faster? I'm in a hurry, Ivan is waiting for me!" I said as I nag my manager to fix my things faster.

He took a deep sigh and then he glared at me "You may actually help me here madame, it won't hurt you  if you help your manager here" He said sarcastically, I chuckled and was about to speak when Zack suddenly entered my dressing room.

"What the hell Zack! Stop barging in to my room and learn how to knock!" I screamed as I throw him my hand cream.

Now here's the great Zack Cullens, if I have my girl best friend I also have my guy best friend and he's Zack, he's not just a best friend that I met by coincidence or a child hood friend, Zack and I are not like that because we are aso related by blood.

My mother and his father are siblings which makes Zack and I cousins, Zack is my closest cousin which makes him my most loyal guy best friend. This fucker is actually a popular drag racer and a renowned Judo athlete and not to mention that we are also the ambassador for Salore that's why Zack and I meet like all the time.

"Geez what's your poblem, I just came here since aunt Cecille asked me to pick you up for the family dinner" He said.

I smiled "Right, I forgot-- Zack tell mom that I won't be there. Ivan is in the country right now and he maybe waiting for me at the condo, sorry" I said and rushed to leave.

"Hey what? Are you kidding me?! The whole family came to celebrate your winning and you'll ignore us just because of your fiancee? Is this a joke Jas?" Zack said and I can sense the annoyance in his voice.

I smiled sweetly and then tapped his back "Sorry I really can't, my FUTURE husband is here and he's probably waiting for me at home. Tell uncle that I will treat the whole family next time. I'm really sorry, cover for me just this once ok?" I said and left him.

I excitedly retouched my face in the van while I wait for my manager to come. Ivan Seville, that little cinnamon roll he didn't even called me, or did he intended to not call me because he's preparing to surprise me? 

Oh my gosh! I can't wait for that surprise!

======= Ruby Skye (Condo) ========

"Are you sure you don't need my help anymore Jaz?" Asked Jude as he hand me my bag while I get in to the elevator to get to my unit.

"How many times should I tell you Jude, I won't be needing you tonight since I will be with Ivan, you may turn off your phone tonight. Its ok" I said and then I winked at him as the elevator door close.

I excitedly punch in my pin code and then I entered my condo unit "Ivan!" I said 

"Babe----" I was not able to continue calling Ivan when suddenly someone grabbed me and pointed a sharp knife in my neck while covering my mouth.

He closed the door and then he whispered "Walk quietly in your room and don't try to fight back or I will have to rip off your throat" He said as he push me to get us to my room.

"W-who are you? You are not Ivan" I mumbled, he's scent--- this guy's scent and perfume is obviously not Ivan's but of a stranger.

What is a stranger doing in to my house?

"Who are you?" I asked for the second time but instead of answering me, he cornered me to the walls of my room while pointing his sharp knife to my neck.

He chuckled and then he sniffed my face to my lips down to my neck and then to my breast. What is this pervert doing to me?

"My Jasmine--- my perfect Jasmine, how are you still fragrant and fresh even while you're covered with sweat?" He whispered as he act like a dog sniffing and enjoying the scent of my sweat.

"Please stop, i-if you need money I'll give it to you. Just--- just don't kill me" I pleaded as drops of tears starts to flow from my eyes maybe because of extreme fear.

He caressed my cheeks "Don't cry, why would I hurt you? A husband will never hurt his wife, we are already married remember? Don't worry I can never hurt my loving wife" He said and caressed my hair.

"But it will be a different story if you betray your loving husband" He said and chuckled.

I was petrified because of the words that came out of his mouth, what is he saying? he's crazy, a pervert and a psycho.

"Please" I pleaded but he just chuckled and then he moved forward lessening the gap between our faces, he caressed my lips and he was about to kiss me when suddenly the door of my condo opened as someone's voice called for my name.

"Jaz? Are you home?" Says the voice but unfortunately I can't recognize who owns the voice. Could it be Ivan?

"Yow bitch ass! Are you really playing hide and seek with me right now?" The voice said as he look around for me. My eyes got big and was alarmed knowing that that voice is my brother, Ethan's voice.

He's the only one who calls me bitch ass.

"No" I mumbled, he'll be in danger if he enters my room. The stalker covered my mouth using his palms "Don't shout or I'll rip not only your throat but also that guy's" He whispered as he threaten me.

I was terrified because of his threat that's why I was not able to move and warn Ethan. Actually its just easy for me to bite his palms and kick his dragon balls but I was swallowed by my fear that I don't know what to do but tremble in fear.

"Yow Jaz? I know you are home, stop goofing around and come out, mom said---" Ethan was not able to finish what he's saying because of my sudden scream, I found an opportunity to bite his palms and kick his balls when he was slightly alarmed by Ethan's sudden appearance. 

I screamed as loud as I could to warn Ethan of the danger ahead of him.

"You moth*fuck*ng bitch!" The guy cursed as he grabs my hair.

"Look forward to our game Jazzzz mine" He whispered in to my ears and before he could even make another move, Ethan entered the room and tried to stop the assaulter.

With the guy's knife, Ethan is at a disadvantage right now but my brother is a boxer and not to mention, a cop, it wouldn't be easy for that assaulter---- or so I thought.

I was shocked and petrified, their fight is being dominated by that psychopathic pervert with his athletic skills and with that guy's strength and martial arts skills-- he easily defeated my brother.

"Ethan watch out!" I screamed when the guy suddenly grabbed his knife to stab Ethan, before Ethan could even dodge the guy's knife, the knife already penetrated his body.

"Ethan!" I screamed, the assaulter looked at me with a scary grin in his face. He's unscathed and there's not a single blood of him everywhere.

"How dare a wife betray her husband? Because of that you need to be punished" He said and dropped his weapon that he used to stab Ethan, h-he just literally left his weapon.

Is he not afraid that his DNA may be found in that weapon? Even though his wearing gloves, his blood may be found in the weapon he used to stab Ethan.

"That is my gift for you my love, a weapon with only your brother's blood in it" He whispered to my ears and then he chuckled.

"Look forward to our next game Jazmine, always remember that you are mine--- just mine" He said and left.

I am shaking and trembling on my knees right now when Ethan suddenly spoke "911 call 911 Jazmine" Ethan said which I did despite my shock.

============Saint Lorenzo Medical Hospital ============

My brother and I were both admitted to the hospital for treatments, Ethan have undergone surgery because of his stab wound in which fortunately his wound was successfully stitched and no critical damages was made from that stab.

As for me. even though I just need some minor stitches and treatment mom insisted that I should also be admitted in this hospital to be treated further and to recover myself from the shock of that incident.

Thankfully Jude was also able to stop any reports about the incident. 

I took a deep sigh and looked at my left side where Ethan's bed is and he's sleeping "I'm sorry" I whispered as I gaze at Ethan who is sound asleep.

But who is that psychopath? How did he entered my own unit and what does he mean by what he said? I've met a lot of stalkers in my whole career as an actress but that psychopath is in a very different level, he is the worst and most dangerous of them all.

Before I close my eyes to rest, I looked at the ceiling. That psychopath's smell, the smell of black rose. A rose means devotion but a black rose means obsession, extreme devotion that leads to obsession.

I clenched my fists for the second time and then I subconsciously remembered that moment when I asked him why he's doing this to me.

'Why are you doing this to me, I-- I didn't do anythjing wrong to you' I said but he chuckled.

'Obviously I'm doing this because I love you--- I'm your husband afterall' He whispered in to my ears and then he licked my ears.

I gulped as I gather my courage to look strong infront of him 'Husband?! You're crazy! You're just obsessed and addicted you darned psychopath' I screamed as I show him my disdain and hatred

Instead of him getting angry because of what I said, he chuckled instead like as if he's enjoying this moment 'Obsession? Obsession is not just mere addiction my love because its love full of extreme devotion' He whispered and then he licked my ears for the second time like a mad and hungry wolf.

Love? Full of extreme devotion? How mad and deceiving

-------- (5 hours later) -------

I am having a tea with mom when suddenly Jude entered the ward.

"The president sent these flowers for ms Jasmine aunt Cecille, he was actually planning to visit his actress today but his schedule is tight that's why he sent flowers instead" I heard Jude's voice.

I clenched my fists, who told him that he can send me flowers?

After Jude's voice, I heard my mom's deep sigh "Jude-- I want to scream and grab you in the collar and blame you and your stupid president for letting this happen to my Jasmine and Ethan" Mom's voice and I can say she's angry, I mean she's starting to get angry.

"What the hell are you and your company doing that it had to come to this!" Mom shouted and before she could even turn into a super saiyan, I spoke.

"Mom relax, Jude has nothing to do about what happened to us atleast Ethan and I survived that night" I said.

"And that's what you get for choosing fame than finishing your bachelor's degree Jasmine" Mom said, I sighed and looked at her.

"Mom don't tell me you are going to bring up the past, I thought you got tired of nagging me about the past but it seems like you just took a short break" I said and chuckled but she slapped me in my forehead.

"Ouch!" I protested.

"You ungrateful child! How dare you make fun of me?!" Mom shouted.

"Uhm ma'am I'm sorry but you can't slap miss Jasmine in the face, it may leave a bruise and its my job to protect her" Jude said, I laughed.

Mom glared at Jude "Oh yeah? Then mind if you get slapped in place of her?!" Mom said arrogantly.

"Mom!" I shouted to stop her. She looked at me and then she took a deep sigh "Anyways, what will happen now? We can't just let that psychopath running around freely, what is your company doing to catch that assaulter?" Mom asked.

"About that matter aunt, the police are doing a silent investigation about the case but we can't let the media find out about what happened to miss Jasmine--" Jude was not able to finish what he's saying when mom suddenly spoke again.

"And why? Why shouldn't the media know about this? I mean my Jasmine is a star and what happens to her should be in the news right now. Why? Is your president afraid that this may taint the name of his agency because of your poor security? Is that it?! Unacceptable, I'll go talk to you boss Jasmine, I better lecture him so that he doesn't look down on you" Mom said and stood up.

I rolled my eyes and took another deep breath, mom really is very tiring.

"Mom can you please sit down, Jude is not yet done. Can you let him finish what he's about to say" I said.

Mom looked at me and then she looked at Jude and then she sat down "So yes thank you miss Jasmine, what I'm saying is that we should not let the assulter know that the police is under his tail because the moment he knew that the police is having an investigation about what happened to miss Jasmine, he may feel threatened and instead of laying low, he may kill miss Jasmine or whoever close to her" Jude said.

"What?! That psychopath will kill me! No--"

"Mom please" I said, mom was about to speak again when the door suddenly opened. I smiled after seeing Ivan and Cindy who are running towards me and I can see how worried they are for me.

"Babe!" Ivan said as he hug me "Thank God you are fine" He said between his hug.

I chuckled "Don't be such a drama king babe, I mean I didn't die" I said joking but he is too serious that he can't even laugh for my silly joke.

"You bitch, I drove here as soon I heard that a perverted psycho entered your house. You are okay now right?" Cindy asked while Ethan hold my hands, I chuckled and looked at her.

"Here's another drama queen, don't worry I'm okay its just unfortunate that Ethan isn't" I said and looked at Ethan who is sleeping right now.

After saying that, everyone suddenly became quiet like as if we are about to pray.

-------- Second day in the Hospital --------

"That one I want that one" I said and pointed at the strawberry using my lips" I'm currently having my lunch right now and Ivan is here with me feeding me and actng like as if he is my hands.

"Why don't the two you just get a solo room so that you can both do your thing there, you know you two are disgusting and don't forget that I'm still here" Ethan said as he complain.

Ivan and I laughed "That's why you should have gotten a girlfriend Ethan" I said but Ethan gave me a glare.

I picked a strawberry and then I threw it at him "How dare you glare at your sister" I said.

"See you can perfectly use your hands you manipulating bitch ass" Ethan said and covered himself with his blanket.

I glared at him as Ivan laugh at us.

I sighed and then I gazed at Ethan covered in blanket. I'm just glad you survived and woke up you fucking idiot, Ethan is my only sibling that's why I would have blamed and hate myself if Ethan did not survive the surgery.

"By the way babe, what did the police asked you earlier?" Ivan asked.

Oh right, the police came earlier and asked me a couple of questions, that time I had to tell them a secret that I have been keeping a secret for a long time.

-- 5 hours earlier (police investigation)

'So the suspect jumped unto you and pointed a knife on your neck, called you his wife and attepted to sexual harass you and that's when your brother came to protect you but unfortunately he got stabbed' The police said.

'Yes' I answered.

'But your brother is from the police force and not to mention that he is skilled in martial arts but he was stabbed and was easily dominated by the assaulter?' The police asked.

I nodded 'I know, I was surprised myself but that psychopath was also skilled in martial arts and he's strong enough to defeat my brother' I said and took a deep breath.

The police nodded 'Since you had an encounter with the suspect upclose, is there a certain unique element that we can use to identify him?' The police asked.

'H-he was wearing a mask and it was dark that's why I can't see his face but he is tall maybe at 6'3 ft" I said and paused.

'T-that's all I can remember and I'm sorry but I don't want to remember that horrible night again' I said.

'I'm sorry ma'am for letting you remember such a horrible scene but this is our way to catch your assaulter---' He was not able to finish what he's saying when I suddenly remembered his scent.

'Oh yes sir his scent, I remember his scent-- the scent of black rose' I said.

The police man nodded 'Are there other important clues that you can remember ma'am, what about his voice I'm sure you can recognie his voice if you hear it again, can you atleast describe how his voice is? Is it deep or husky?' The police man asked.

I bit my lower lip and then I started fidgeting my fingers.

'Ma'am?' He called as he get my attention.

"Oh s-sorry' I said.

'Can you tell us about his voice or can you recognize the voice?' He asked.

'Uhm' I said and gulped.

'I--- Sir I have a disorder called phonagnosia' I said and looked at the officer.

'A disorder that can not recognice one's voice' I said.

- Present

"Babe?" Ivan said as he get my attention

"Yeah, s-sorry?" I said.

"Babe are you okay?" He asked and I can see how worried Ivan is, I smiled and then I caressed his cheeks "Of couse I am, maybe I just-- I just want to rest?" I said.

Ivan nodded "You should rest then babe, besides I will have to step out for now. I need to attend a rehearsal for the dream concert" Ivan said.

I smiled "Sure sure go ahead, I will sleep and rest anyway" I said.

Ivan smiled and then he kissed me in my forehead "I'll be back with your favorite chicken" Ivan said and then he left.

I watched his back as he leave and as soon as Ivan left, Ethan spoke "Jas--" Ethan said and looked at me.

I rolled my eyes and glared at him "Don't you dare bad mouth Ivan" I said.

"But no matter how hard I think, Ivan is just too perfect that I'm starting to doubt about his real colors" Ethan said.

I threw him my pillow and glared at him "You good for nothing idiot, if you are that bored then look for your own lover you bastard" I shouted at him.

"Hey you should be thankful that I'm warning you right now. Don't you dare cry to me if you find out that your beloved boyfriend is cheating on you" Ethan said.

"Tss you don't even know how to thank a good soul like me" Ethan said.

I shook my head "Good soul my foot" I said and sighed, looked at the window as I remember what the police told me.

I asked the police officer about what happened to the weapon but unfortunately Ethan's DNA was the only thing present in the weapon. The police said that if it was a deeper wound and its possible that the assaulter may have also wounded himself since a human's muscle is hard enough to penetrate.

Since Ethan's wound is not too deep, the assaulter did not hurt himself and no DNA of his was found.

I took another deep sigh, because of that incident I had to reveal that secret of mine that I have been hiding.

'My secret, the secret that I have been keeping is my disorder that I can't recognize someone's voice, only I and mom knows about it and no one else but now I had to let the police know that I-- Jasmine Hale, best actress of 2021 and goddess of beauty has a disorder called phonagnosia'

Ivan Seville's Point of View (Jasmine's fiancee)

-Hospital's  Basement-

I went down the basement and before I open the red car's door infront of me, I looked around to make sure no one's around.

I entered the car without pressing the car keys and sat down the passenger's seat.

"Babe, what took you so long? Did she ordered you around again?" She asked as she shows her annoyance.

I smiled and kissed her "Babe, Jas is sick of course I need to be with her" I said but after saying that Cindy pouted and then she crossed her arms.

"So you care for her now? Are you even planning to break up with her. I waited and trust you that you will keep your promise" Cindy said as she gaze at me.

I held her hands and gazed at her eyes "Don't worry, I'll do it after she's discharged. She was attacked and she's still fragile right now, don't you trust me babe?" I asked as I caress her cheeks "You know that you are the one I love and its you who I will marry" I said.

Cindy smiled "I prepared something for you, shall we head straight to my place?" She asked.

I chuckled as Cindy starts the engine and drove our way to her place.

Zack Cullen's Point Of View (Jasmine's cousin)

- Hospital Basement -

I shut my car's door close as Cindy's car leave with Jasmine's fiancee inside, Ivan Seville.

I leaned on my car and then I sighed "Jasmine Hale is head over heels towards a cheating scumbag tsk tsk" I whispered and shook my head.

I got the chicken I ordered for Jasmine and went straight to the elevator to get to Jasmine's ward.

After pressing the floor I placed my left hands to my pocket "Her fiancee and her bestfriend are sleeping together? What a duo of bullshit, I wonder what would Jasmine do if she learns that their cheating behind her back?" I asked myself as I walk towards her ward.

"Jasmine prefers being a murderer more than being a victim of cheating" I whispered and then I entered Jasmine's ward.

The moment I entered the room, Jamine threw me her pillow and shouted at me "You bastard, what took you so long? Are you planning to starve me?!" Jasmine shouted at me.

I picked the pillow and threw it back at her, I smirked when it hurt her face "Bulls eye" I said and sat down the table beside Ethan's bed.

"Long time no see" Ethan said and showed me his fist for a fist bump.

I bumped my fist against his "I heard the psychopath's not an easy opponent?" I asked.

Ethan sat down "He knows martial arts and he's really tough, he's lucky I don't have a gun that time" Ethan said, I chuckled.

"Zack are you really not giving me that chicken? You made me wait for a couple of minutes and now you're playing stubborn?" Jasmine said.

"First say sorry master" I said and looked at her while teasing her.

Jasmine sighed and then she kneeled on top of her hospital bed and then she bowed down to me "Sorry master" She said while bowing.

"Very well" I said and handed her her chicken.

"So when will the two of you get discharged?" I asked.

"I'll get out of here tomorrow but Ethan will have to stay for a couple of days more, besides it won't be good if I stay here for days, my fans would look for me" I said.

I nodded, it would be very interesting and fun the moment Jasmine learns about their secret. I will have to look forward when that day comes.

Jude Sylvestre's Point Of View (Jasmine's manager)

- KC actors (Jasmine's agency)-

"Sir, m-miss Jasmine sent back the flowers you sent her" I said while kneeling behind him.

He placed his wine glass on top of his table and then he turned around to see me "What did she say?" The president asked.

I avoided his gaze while having my hands on top of my lap "S-she said she's not your decoration but a human" I answered.

I expected him to throw his glass wine at my head but instead he chuckled and then his chuckles became loud laughs.

"Our little Jasmine is slowly becoming a thorned rose, that's not good right?" He said and walked towards me, he stepped on my hands as he grab my hair.

"As his manager, make sure he stays as a sweet and pure Jasmine and not a thorned rose who will prick its owner" He said and then he removed his feet on my hands.

"Y-yes sir" I said.

"Get out" He said.

I bowed down and then I hurriedly left his office, those heartless jerks who thinks they are above me? I'll make sure to pluck their limbs one by one.
