Agreeing with the master

"Why do you try to make me evil, Sterling? See, I even brought a doctor for you." Valentino smirked.

Jasmine gasped immediately as she cleaned her tears.

"Doctor?" She called.

"Please, treat him. He can't die. My father must not die." She pleaded immediately.

"I'll try my best." The doctor said.

Valentino stood up slowly, his hands in his pocket. As Jasmine's eyes followed him, she could feel that aura of quiet power that constantly sent shivers down her spine. He was evil, a monster, a figure shrouded in whispers and rumors. She should never have come home, she made a big mistake.

"If you are done shedding tears, then let's leave. I don't have time to waste here." His muttered, his voice a low rumble.

"No, I would wait for my father to be okay." She resisted, turning away from him. Valentino cleaned his ear boringly, with his index finger.

"Did you blindly sign the papers? Get her a copy." He sighed.

Davis threw the paper towards Jasmine who picked it up slowly.

"Read slowly, meditatively." She heard, so she opened the papers, reading them line by line, calmly. She could see that it was just the normal marriage papers till she opened the next page and the heading wrote, marriage contract. Her eyes widened slowly.

She had to obey every of his wishes without resistance else her father's life wasn't going to be guaranteed?

She was to act diligently as a wife to him and fulfill....

"I'm not doing this." She snapped, hitting the paper on the ground hardly. A shot sounded, destroying the light bulb behind her and resetting her brain.

"Take her!" Valentino muttered as he walked out of the room, without looking back.

"Let go of me ..let me go!!" Jasmine shook her legs franctically, hitting the two men who was dragging her outside. When she got to the door, she suddenly broke into tears, staring at her father looking lifeless across her, the doctor trying to save his life and she, being dragged away like this, a prisoner to slavery.

"Dad!!" She cried as they dragged her out of the room.

Jasmine stopped resisting after a while and she just let the men dragged her towards the car.

"Ma'am" She suddenly heard a scream and she turned back.

"Sky.." She stopped when she saw a gun on his head.

"Clear them all." Valentino's words suddenly made sense to her.

"Are you...are you going to kill him?"

"Yes." He replied curtly and she slowly dell to her knees. He smirked, wondering what she was up to.

She couldn't cry anymore, her eyes couldn't produce the tears and she was also very tired.

"Please let him go. I'll do whatever you want. Don't kill Skyler." She muttered.

"You doing whatever I want is a given, Jasmine." The way he called her name further proved to her that her family had messed with the wrong person.

"Then, what do you want? I'll give whatever you want..." She said.

"What could I possibly want from you? What do you have to offer, Jasmine?" He asked and she gulped.

"Anything. I promise. Just trust me this once. Please.." She pleaded.

"Fine. Changing your mind later on would not cost only his life but yours too. Get in." He said. Jasmine sighed in relieve as she saw the gun was removed from Skyler's head, but just as she tried to stand up, her legs felt wobbly, her head dizzy and she fell down, losing consciousness.

-----

Isabella sighed as she tried Jasmine's line for the uptenth time, but it rang and went into voicemail.

"What is this? Is she really out of the country?" She muttered slowly and got into her car, driving straight to Jasmine's home.

The place was rather solemn and quiet and that further proved that Jasmine had been sent back. She opened the gate slowly and walked into the large compound. Skyler appeared from behind the flowers.

"Skyler?" Isabella called and he came out fully. His face looked haggard and his breath unsteady. As she touched him, he felt very hot.

"What's going on? Where's Jasmine?"

"Miss Isabella.." Skyler's voice came out very shaky as he tried to explain things to her.

Isabella gasped faintly, hearing the things that happened from Skyler's point of view. Obviously, he didn't know about the things that went on inside. But he could tell about their arrival and also when they left.

"They killed everyone, leaving only me and the boss. Two men are inside the house with his unconscious self and I'm too scared to even go in." He added.

"Did you report this?" Isabella asked as she picked her phone and dialled the emergency line.

"Hello, I'm called from Sterling Vance's house, a murder case...." Even before she could complete her sentence, the line was disconnected.

She tried again but it wasn't getting through.

"Uhhmm..let's go to the police station and report this... quickly." She said and rushed out with Skyler, heading to the police station as fast as possible.

When they got there, they rushed inside.

"Good morning." She greeted first.

"Good Morning." Replied the man at the counter.

"So last night...." She explained the way Skyler had explained it to her.

"Okay? So you mean to say last night, some men came into your boss's house and killed everyone except you?" The man asked and Skyler nodded.

"So they kidnapped your boss's daughter and your boss himself is unconscious?" He asked again and Skyler nodded.

"But you are untouched?" He asked again and Skyler nodded slowly, unsure of where the man was headed.

"Are you here to give a report or you are here to confess your crime?" He suddenly asked.
