Hypocrisy behind angelic faces

Jasmine Hale's Point Of View

I just got discharged from the hospital 2 days ago and since I don't have any ongoing projects or filming these days, I am currently enjoying my free time alone in my favorite cafe.

I'm waiting for Cindy and for the other girls since we haven't seen each other for awhile, the girls are also too worried for me that's why they asked to meet me today.

Besides the girls will be too busy and this is the only day that we'd be meeting again.

"Jaz!" Says a voice and then Yanna showed up infront of me with her extravagant and branded clothes and bags. Danica the walking Prada, Dior, Gucci, Armani, Cartier, Hermes, Chanel and whatever expensive brand you can think of.

I smiled and stood up to hug her.

"It has been a month now" She said between our hugs.

"I know right, sit down" I offered, Danica Medina is the perfect definition of the city's it girl being all addicted to fashion and shopping. Danica is known to many social media platforms as a fashion guru and a social media influencer.

Aside from being an it girl and a fashion figure, Yanna came from a very influential family, grand daughter of the Medina Empire. Medina Empire is known in the world of clothing and bags that's why Yanna being covered into different kinds of brands is normal.

"Jaz, Dandan!" Says another voice and then Luxxe and Claire appeared in front of us.

"Girls!" I said in excitement as I hug both Luxxe and Claire "Luxxe I told you to never call me Dandan! That's one lame nickname" Danica protested and then she hugged both Luxxe and Claire.

"What's wrong with the nickname dandan, its actually cute" Luxxe said and then she looked at me.

"Still stunning huh Jas" Luxxe said as she sit down beside Danica "Of course I'm still a goddess just like you" I complimented back while Claire just smiled and then she sat down beside me.

"Its never a crime to speak Claire" I whispered to Claire but she just smiled at me.

Claire Song, we already accepted the fact that Claire is a shy person and she just rarely talk. Actually we are the only people who Claire hang out with that's why we promised her that the five of us will never break.

No matter what happens.

Claire is the 7th daughter of a korean conglomerate and she's the fifth bastard of the family.

"Its good to see that you are feeling good right now Jaz, what happened to you is not a joke" Luxxe said and I can feel her sincere worry towards me.

I smiled "Yeah, its a good thing Ethan came unfortunately he was stabbed----" I was not able to finish what I'm saying when Luxxe spoke in an exaggerated way.

"Wait he was stabbed? Why was I not informed? Is he still in the hospital?! I should go there right now?! Right?" Luxxe said and then she stood up.

I chuckled "You don't have to go Luxxe, he just got discharged this morning and he's at my place right now" I said between my laughs.

"Ohh" Luxxe said and sat down "Luxxe don't tell me that you'll go to Jazmine's place later, you know you will look like a desperate obsessed stalker and he may think that you are his sister's crazy friend" Danica said as she makes fun of Luxxe.

Luxxe De Lara, unlike Claire who is too quiet and shy, Luxxe is very talkative and chatty and she treats everyone as her friend may it be a stranger.

And unlike Claire and Danica, Luxxe did not come from an influential family nor a conglomerate, Luxxe is a singer and she won a singing competiton two years ago and that competition became her bridge in to stardom.

And yes, Luxxe actually likes my brother a lot but she's too shy to confess to Ethan. She told me that seeing him happy and well is enough for her. Cringy right? It is.

Luxxe started to develop feelings for Ethan when Ethan saved him from a stalker before. That incident is actually the same as to what happened to me regarding that psychopath incident. 

The only difference is that Luxxe's stalker is a highschool student and he's not as threatening as that psychopath who pointed a knife in to my neck and the highschool student just waited outside Luxxe's place for many days.

Until now, I just don't know how that psychopath entered my condo unit and its also very uncanny that the cctv footages of that day was all deleted and the security on duty was also attacked.

That psychopath is very terrifying that he took down my condo's security and if its true that he'll really come back, I will really lose my mind because of trauma. I'm trying all my best to show that I'm okay and that I'm not scared, I'm trying to do my everything to show that I'm strong but I'm anxious and scared inside.

"Jaz?" Danica asked as she flick her fingers in front of me "I-I'm sorry come again?" I asked.

"Are you okay? You seem dazed?" Danica asked.

I smiled "Of course I am, I just remembered something that's why" I said and looked around.

"What about Cindy? Is she not here yet?" I asked.

"I don't know, that bitch seem late today" Luxxe said.

"Oh she's there, speak of the devil" Danica said as she points at somewhere.

"Sorry I'm late" Cindy said and sat down beside me, her hair is a little messy and her lipstick is everywhere, I stared at her as I turn on my curious radar.

This bitch? "Bitch are you dating someone?" I asked.

"Wait you are dating someone?!" Luxxe asked, here she goes again being so exaggerated.

Cindy smiled and then she looked at us one by one "I---" She said and then she showed us her ring finger "I'm actually engaged" Cindy said and I can see how happy she is with her news.

All of us are of course shocked yet happy with her sudden news, who would have thought that Cindy is secretly dating someone.

"You bitch! How could you secretly date behind our back!" I shouted at her, she chuckled and then she pinched my cheeks.

"Okay okay I'm sorry but no worries you four are invited to my wedding soon" Cindy said and then she chuckled.

"Wedding? There is a date set already?" Danica asked.

Cindy shook her head "Nope there's none yet since there's a problem that he needs to fix first but I will all inform you if we have the date" Cindy said and then she smirked.

"Nope there's none yet since there's a problem that he needs to fix first but I will all inform you if we have the date" I said and then I smiled.

"So who will be your maid of honor then?" Luxxe asked.

I chukled "Are you seriously asking me that Luxxe?" I said.

"Of course there's no doubt that my maid of honour will be Jaz, afterall she's my bestfriend" I said and looked at Jaz.

Luxxe glared at us "Tss you and your loyalty to Jazmine, you don't have to be loyal towards Jasmine all the time Cindy. If one of you is a guy I would think both of you are dating" Luxxe said as both Jaz and I laugh.

"Stop brainwashing my baby girl Luxxe" Jaz said and then she looked at me.

"But yeah, you should make me your maid of honor or else I would ask for your wedding to be stopped" Jaz said jokingly, I smirked as I gaze at her.

What should I do Jaz? That won't be the reason why you would ask to stop my wedding but don't worry, I will still ask you to be the maid of honor of my wedding with Ivan, your ex boyfriend to be.

Flashback (2 hours earlier)

"Babe you told me that you will break her once she gets discharged but why the hell are you not breaking up with her yet? How long do I have to wait?" I asked Ivan as I show him my displease.

Ivan took a deep sigh and then he held both of my shoulders "Don't worry babe, I'll break up with her later when she comes home. I already asked her to meet with me at my place" He said while gazing at me.

"Besides you are meeting with her later, it would be awkward if I break up with her now" Ivan explained as he try to calm me.

I pouted and looked at him "Sure?" I asked.

Ivan nodded and then he kissed my forehead "Yes don't worry" Ivan promised.

End of Flashback.

"So Cindy, who is this lucky guy? A celebrity? Or a non celebrity? You at least better tell us that important clue" Danica said.

I smiled "He's actually a celebrity, a very popular one" I said and smiled as all of them scream because of excitement and that includes Jazmine, my dear and beloved Jazmine.

Dear Jazmine, listen to my thoughts. My dear I can't wait to see your pain, that pain that will make me happy. Just this once, can't you sacrifice for my own happiness just this once, I promise I will be better.

I will be more loyal to you and we will stay as bestfriends, just--- just give him to me. Don't worry my dear because I will cherish him and love him more than you do

"So do we know him?" Jaz asked.

I smiled "Of course you do, all of you will be shocked once you girls meet him" I said.

"You sly wench, how dare you date behind our backs" Jazmine said and then she caressed my hair "But I'm happy for you Cindy, whoever that guy is-- we will definitely accept him for you as long as you are happy with him" Jaz said and then she smiled.

Right, see? Jazmine is agreeing of my relationship with Ivan. She's willing to give Ivan to me for my happiness, now all that's left is our wedding.

I smiled and hugged her to thank her as the five of us continue our chitchats.

Jazmine's Point Of View

5 hours later 

After our shopping and chitchats, I left early since Ivan told me he has someting to show me at his place.

Claire left earlier as well while Luxxe, Danica and Cindy stayed to continue and enjoy shopping. Well, the girls should enjoy each other's company while we still have time since the five of us rarely see each other especially now that Luxxe will be mentoring new singers for a new singing variety show while Claire will go back to Seoul.

Danica and Cindy will be joining a runway for Viktorya's secret fashion show in Paris.

I sighed, I guess I will be the only one who will not be busy this following days but of course looking at the positive side, this is my opportunity to take a rest.

I called for a chauffeur to drive for me since the girls and I went for a small drink and I'm slightly tipsy that's why I can't drive for myself and called for a driver instead.

This is actually not the first time I called for a chauffeur but this driver is a little suspiscious. I stared at him closely using the rear view mirror.

"Are you new? You are not Mr Davis aren't you?" I asked but he did not speak instead he entered a dark and one way road.

"Wait excuse me? What the hell this is not the way to Ivan's" I said but he did not spoke instead I heard his chuckle.

At that time, I realised that this may be kidnapping and that this guy may be the psychopath who entered my unit days ago.

"What the fuck" I murmured.

"Stop the car!" I screamed as I grab his hoody to stop him and see the identity of my assaulter but what I saw shocked me.

"Stop being so stubborn miss Jazmine and behave, we're almost there" Says the guy and then he turned around while grinning to show his face. 

I was totally shocked and petrified at the same time after seeing who this guy is.

I started trembling as I murmur his name "Jude" I murmured as he smirk.

----- Listen to my thoughts and I'll make sure you'll pray you never met me -----
