WHEN LOVE IS GONE: Chapter 51 – The End
Writer’s pov ?
Mexico city…07:49pm.
Reinle’s resident….
Margret put a glass of water and medicine on the bedside table, she pulled up the blanket over her husband.
“Mom!”
Tim called onto her and rushed into the room, she sent him a scolding glare.
His eyes moved to his father’s sleeping form on the bed, he quickly shut his mouth and waited until his mother is done.
“What happened?” Margret asked.
“Jade and Jasmine had a fight”
“What?!”
Margret let go of the blanket and faced him fully, there’s a very deep frown on her forehead.
“They had a fight?”
“Yeah… I heard it’s a very big fight and Jade was rushed to the hospital”
Margret fell onto the bed, she sat at the edge.
“I.. I never knew that a day like this would come…I never wished for my children to fight each other…” she whispered.
“Mr O’Briens called me and told me this himself, it can’t be a lie”
She frowned more.
“Mr O’Briens?”
“Oh, he’s Jade’s supposed husband and Jasmine’s boyfriend” he replied.
Margret lets out a humorless laugh, she shook her head and glared at her husband.
“He’s caused a great war between his daughters.. instead of solving it, he’s laying on a sick bed”
“What should we do now? A lot of things is happening lately.. our company..”
She narrowed her eyes at him which made him swallowed his words, she pointed a finger at him angrily.
“Company? You are still talking about the company, even at a time like this?” She growled at him.
She got up and smacked his head.
“You were also involved in this mess, you led your father into making a rash decision.. can you see the consequences now?!”
Tim stayed silent, he dared not speak or he might get a slap this time.
“Your sisters are fighting each other over a man, is that what you want? Do you enjoy seeing them making a fool of themselves?!”
Margret averted her gaze to her husband, she glared at him.
“Your reputation that you so much value is soon going down the drain.. they’re fighting now, isn’t this a disgrace and shame to you?”
She scoffed, it’s too bad Donald isn’t even hearing all these words she’s saying.
“Mom, you can do something about this” Tim said.
“What can I do?” She paused. “I can’t do anything about it now”
“You can, talk to Jasmine.. she should leave Mr O’Briens for Jade…”
Margret cut him off with a resounding slap, his neck turned and couldn’t straighten for a short moment.
“Can you listen to yourself? Don’t you think you’re being partial? Jasmine is your sister too!”
Tim rubbed his cheek.
“Jasmine’s being in love with Mr O’Briens for such a long time, she lost her family for him and she’s suffered a lot for him.. don’t you think she deserves him most?”
She shook her head in disbelief.
“You and your father are unbelievable!” She stormed out of the room angrily, leaving Tim there.
Tim stared at his father for a moment, he sighed and sat on the bed next to him.
“Dad, when are you gonna get better? It’s been two weeks now”
Donald’s remained unmoved for two weeks already, since he came home drunk.. he’s been very sick.
“Dad… ” He trailed off.

Adele’s pov ?
A grunt left my mouth as I woke up and felt my neck is stiff, I twisted it and heard it shoot.. then yawned.
“You’re awake, isn’t it time for us to go home?” Clark asked.
“Hmm” I hummed.
I looked at Jade, she still haven’t opened her eyes yet.
“But are we just gonna leave her here?” I asked.
Hm, I really don’t know why I’m kinda having pity on her now.
“Yeah, after all we don’t know when she’s gonna wake up…”
My stomach growling cut him off, I wrapped my arms around it and chuckled.
I reached for my phone and checked the time, it’s already 9pm.
“I think we should go home, eat, bath and get a proper rest.. maybe I can convince Jas to come with me tomorrow”
“Good idea, let’s go”
He got up and helped me up, he reached for my bag and we headed out.
“I kinda pity Jade, it’s not easy to give up on someone you’ve waited on for five years”
“Hm, he was never hers in the first place” Clark replied.
I rolled my eyeballs.

WHEN LOVE IS GONE: Chapter 51 – The End
Jasmine’s pov ?
The next morning!
?? Good morning, beautiful…how was your night? ??
?? Mine was beautiful… with you by my side…when I ??
?? Open my eyes to see your sweet face… it’s a good morning, beautiful day ??
Thanatos sang next to me in his sweet, smooth velvet voice, my lips curved in a smile…his fingers playing with my hair.
My eyes opened and I met his eyes staring at me, he smiled at me and stopped singing.
He leaned forward and placed a sweet peck on my lips.
“How are you feeling now?” He asked.
My eyes moved away from his, down to my nked body and I blushed.
“I’m fine” I replied.
“That’s good, but I hope you didn’t forget our deal” he said.
Our deal…my mind played back to last night’s event.
flash_back_lastnight
After a few minutes of chasing Thanatos round the living room, I huffed in anger and slumped on a sofa.
I began to sob quietly, before I knew it, I’m wailing miserably.. he stopped running and rushed to me.
He squat in in front of me.
“Baby, what’s wrong?” He asked.
I didn’t reply him, I opened my mouth wider and continued wailing.
“I.. we.. what happened?” He asked.
“You don’t want me anymore!” I cried.
His brows furrowed instantly in a frown, he reached for my hands and pulled me into a hug.
“Baby, that’s not true…”
I pushed him away from me.
“It’s true, you’re running away from me!”
He sat on the sofa and carried me onto his laps, he wiped my tears and sighed.
“Davis is a very smart kid, we can’t make love with still widely awake” he explained.
“But.. but.. I’m horny” I said in a quieter voice this time.
Honestly, I don’t understand my system recently… I’ve never this kind of urge for s£x before.
What’s happening to me?
“Ok…how about we make a deal?”
“What deal?” I asked him back.
“How about you move in with me…”
I arched an eyebrow at him.
“Move in with you? In your apartment nextdoor?” I asked.
He shook his head.
“No, my mansion or penthouse, any one is fine”
“What happens if I agree to move in with you?”
“Then I’ll try my best to get Davis to go to sleep early, then I’ll satisfy your urge”
He wants me to move in with him? Should I?
“Are you thinking about it?” He asked.
I simply nodded.
“Well, there’s nothing to think about there.. it’s a very good bargain”
I thought about it briefly.
Moving in with him won’t be so bad, we’re already living together here.. also, he’s Davis’s father.
I think it’s high time we stayed together, as a real family… Wait, am I the one thinking or it’s my urge?
“So, baby, what do you say?” He asked.
I took a deep breath and nodded, I don’t care if it’s me making this decision or my sudden urge.
All I know is, I need him right now!
“Fine! I’ll move in with you, just do something already”
He winked at me, then got up.
“Where are you going?” I asked him with a frown.
“To make Davis fall asleep” was his replied.
I leaned back on the sofa, puffing out some air and kicked the table slightly in frustration…I’m feeling an internal heat.

Back to present time!
After he made Davis fall asleep, he came back and joined me in my room.. we locked the door and did it all night.
“… when are you gonna move to my place?” He asked.
I rolled my eyeballs and pushed him off me, I sat up and rested my back on the headboard.
“I just promised you yesterday, give me some time” I said.
He smiled.
“Well, I’m just being a little bit impatient, I need you and Davis in my mansion to make it a home.. ”
He paused, his eyes moved to my stomach and settled there briefly.
“… also, i want you to be comfortable and well taken care of” he said.
I nodded and yawned, I stretched my limps and located the wall clock.
“07:13am… I should go get Davis ready for school” I said.
Thankfully, today’s friday, I’m not gonna pack a lunchbox for him..I snatched Thanatos big t-shirt laying on the bed and wore it.
I wanted to jump off the bed, but failed to realize my legs were tangled in the bedsheets… I realized it too late when I found myself falling to the ground.
“Argh!” A short sharp scream left my mouth.
Fortunately, Thanatos was quick to catch me, before I could kss the ground.
“Hey, careful there!” He said in a scolding manner.
His eyes scanning my body, especially my stomach which made me frown at him.
“I’m fine, I didn’t fall to the ground” I said.
“Well, you could have fallen to the ground if I hadn’t caught you in time…you should be very careful now!” He scolded me.
“Why are you getting worked up? I was just trying to get up and prepare Davis for school” I defended myself.
He sighed and helped me find my balance, he wrapped his arm around my waist and led me towards the door.
“I’m not fragile, you know that right?”
“Yeah, but right now you’re fragile” he replied.
“What?”
“Nothing” he replied.
I frowned but didn’t push it further.
We stepped into the living room and I’m surprised to see Davis already dressed in his school uniform.. he’s having breakfast.
“You got him ready?” I asked Thanatos.
“Hm” he hummed. “I only came to wake you up for breakfast”
I smiled at him. “That’s so sweet” I pecked his lips.
Suddenly we heard Davis yelling.
“Momma! Cooties!”
I quickly pulled away from Thanatos and rushed to Davis, I squat to his level and pecked hi cheek.
“Good morning, baby”
“Good morning, momma” he replied.
“You’re ready for school” I state.
“Yeah” he replied. “Momma, taste my food” he said.
He dipped his spoon in his cornflakes and put it in my mouth… I started chewing slowly.
“Mm-mmm, so sweet!” I moaned.
He giggled and gave Thanatos a thumbs up.
“Daddy made it for me” he said.
I rolled my eyeballs, he’s already taking his father’s side..
Davis doesn’t praise me even when I cook the hardest food for him, but here he is praising Thanatos for making a simple cornflakes… Boys!
The doorbell rang.
“Hold on!” Thanatos said and rushed towards it.
I shared a sofa with Davis and started going through his books, to make sure he has everything he needed.
“Where’s your art book?” I asked him.
He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and wiped his lips with his hands.
“My teacher took it” he replied.
I nodded and continued arranging his books.
That’s when I felt someone gripped my shoulders from behind, I turned and saw Adele.
“Hey, girlfriend” I greeted her.
She rounded the sofa and sat on a free one next to mine, he snatched Davis’s spoon and took a spoonful of his cornflakes in her mouth.. which made Davis started crying.
“Momma, aunt Adele ate my food”
I glared at her, but she’s simply making funny faces at Davis who in turn is crying.
I smacked the back of her head, then wiped Davis’s tears.
“Aunt Adele is a cornflakes thief, I’ll punish her later.. just eat your food for now and go to school, ok?”
He nodded and continued eating, though he moved his cornflakes from its original position and turned away from Adele.
“And who said he’s five years old?” She asked sarcastically.
Her eyes focused on Davis’s plate, she licks her lips… I know she’s thinking of ways to snatch that cornflakes from Davis.
“Now, I understand why you both don’t agree with each other” I said.
She stuck out her tongue at me.
“Your son is just a tiny, stingy man!”
Thanatos came, he collected Davis’s backpack and squat to Davis’s level…he held Davis’s hand.
“Buddy are you done eating?” He asked.
Davis looked at his empty plate and nodded, I reached for a glass of water and made him drink from it.
“Alright, I’ll take him to school, stay here and chat with your friend” Thanatos said.
He didn’t wait for my response, he and Davis headed to the door, but Davis stopped…he ran back to me and pecked my cheek.
“See you later, momma”
“See you later, baby” I replied.
He tried to wink at me, but ended up closing both his eyes…I laughed.
I guess he learnt that from his father, because Thanatos does wink a lot…he ran back to his father and they left.
Wait.. am I overthinking this? Or Thanatos is actually being careful with me since last night?
I sighed.
I should forget about Davis and Thanatos for now, they’re gone with their troubles.
“Adele, how’s Jade?” I asked.
A frown took over my face, when I saw Adele pouring my cornflakes in the plate Davis just used.
“What are you doing?” I asked her.
“Trying to make something to eat, duh”
“I know, but that’s my cornflakes you’re making”
She scoffed.
“I know, just see it as payment for making me take care of your monstrous son for three weeks… three good weeks!” She said.
No words came out of my mouth, I simply stared at her with my mouth wide opened.
“So.. how’s Jade?” I asked.
“Oh, she’s still in coma.. I guess she’s negotiating with God by now”
There’s a pause between us, she munched on her cornflakes and lets out a crunchy sound.
“I thought you hate her, why are you asking about her?”
“I don’t hate her, she’s my sister after all… I’m just mad at her for rapping my man”
Her eyes snapped opened and she dropped her cornflakes.
“Rappe?!”
“Of course, drugging someone and having sx with them against their well is rappe” I said.
She burst into a brief laughter.
“Funny, but it’s true though” she said.
I leaned back on the sofa, closed my eyes and took deep breaths.
“Are you gonna visit her?”
“No”
“Why?”
“I’m not ready to see her, I might get angry again and end up killing her this time” I said.
Adele shrugged and continue eating her food. Just at that moment, the doorbell rang again.
Adele and I looked at each other, silently waiting for who will get the door.
“Why are you staring at me? Are you waiting for me to get the door?” Adele asked.
I didn’t reply, I just continued staring at her. She scoffed.
“Well, as you can see, I’m eating…”
“Are you gonna get the door? Yes or no?” I asked quietly.
She dropped her food and gulped, she smiled and quickly got up.
“I’ll get the door, I’ll get it” she said.
I smirked. “Good girl”
She rolled her eyeballs and headed towards the door, soon, she came back with Arthur and… Victoria.
“Hey, Jas” Arthur greeted me with a smile.
He opened his arms and wanted to give me a hug, but I pushed him away when his cologne hits me…his smile wiped off and he frowned.
“What happened?” He asked.
“Sorry, I don’t think I like the scent of your cologne” I answered.
He perceived himself.
“But I didn’t change my cologne, it’s the same as before” he said.
Huh? I had always like the scent of his cologne, why do I feel like throwing up when I perceived it now?
Maybe I should go for a check up, something’s wrong with me.
“Right, Jas, this is Victoria” he said.
I locked gaze with Victoria, she glared at me briefly, then smirked.
“We know each other.. there’s no need for introductions” she said.
There was a hint of smugness in her voice, but I ignored it, she’s not my problem and I careless about her.
I turned back to Arthur.
“Arthur, I’m really sorry for not being able to pick you up from the airport… I was busy”
“Oh, it’s fine” Arthur said.
Adele snatched the plastic bag Arthur’s holding, she opened it and searched inside.. she smiled.
“Wow! Jas, Arthur brought us so many things!”
Victoria scoffed loudly.
“Of course, someone was being a cry baby, telling him to bring her some candies!” she spat out.
Me? Being a cry baby? Arthur was the one begging me to tell him what to buy for me.
Her rude remarks and smugness is getting on my nerves now, she’s being trying to get on my bad side since she and Arthur reunited in Japan.
It’s high time I put her in a corner!
I opened my mouth to replied her, but Adele beat me to it.
“Excuse me, who do you think you are? How dare you talk to my friend so rudely?”
“And who are you?” Victoria asked.
“Someone you wouldn’t wanna mess with!” Adele said.
I leaned back on the sofa I’m sitting and let Adele teach her some manners.
Arthur noticed what Adele’s about to do, he cleared his throat, he held Adele’s hand and pushed her back slightly.
“Adele, it has gotten to this, let’s….”
“Shut up!”
Adele cut him off and snatched her hand off his, she glared at him.
“Your girl’s being rude to use but you didn’t say anything, now you want me to stop?”
Victoria scoffed again.
“As if she’s relevant”
“Repeat what you just said” she dared Victoria.
Victoria didn’t say anything, then Adele continued.
“Don’t try to get on my bad side, or you’ll regret your miserable life”
“My life is miserable?”
“Of course”
“Well at least, I’m not chasing someone who doesn’t give a dime about me”
Adele and I faced Arthur, I’m wondering why Arthur would tell her about this.. while Adele is glaring daggers at him.
She shoved the plastic bag in his hand, she reached for her pocket and pulled out her phone.. after scrolling for a few minutes she turned the screen towards Victoria.
“Look closely, this is my boyfriend! He’s way handsome than this…”
She paused and glared at Arthur once more.
“… this ape you call a boyfriend, he’s rich than your ape boyfriend too!”
Victoria opened his mouth to speak, but Adele didn’t give her any chance.
“I’m not a fool like you, at my my man is with me because he’s in love with me.. unlike you, Arthur is with you because he’s sx starved!”
I curved my mouth in an O shape, I bite my tongue to hold back my laughter…
Arthur simply stared at Adele with his mouth speechlessly opened.
“You…”
“I what? He’s just using you to satisfy his sxual urge, don’t think he’s in love with you.. the love is long gone, you’re just a sx toy now.. you have no value in his life!”
Victoria’s face us turing red, I don’t know if it’s from anger or embarrassment.. she balled her fists beside her.
“Also, don’t think your plastic surgery can help you look young, you’re still older than my grandma who’s long dead”
“Ha-ha.. ha-ha!” I let out a mocking laugh.
Right… I forgot to tell you guys, Victoria is older than us (me, Adele and Arthur).
“You…”
Victoria seemed as though she will break down in a minute, she’s trying her best to hold back her tears.
“I.. I.. I what?” Adele stepped closer to her. “I told you, I’m someone you wouldn’t wanna mess with!”
Victoria pushed Adele back and raised her fist, ready to land a punch on Adele’s face.. but Adele escaped quickly.
I got up as Adele ran to me and hide behind me.
“Jas, she wanna punch me” she said.
I almost laughed at Adele’s reaction, she’s got a smart mouth but no strength to fight.
Victoria laughed at her reaction, she folded her arms on her chest.
“So… she’s a dog with many barks and no bites!” She state.
“Yeah, but if you’re willing to fight.. why not challenge Jasmine?” Adele said.
Arthur cleared his throat again.
“Guys, let’s calm down”
“Shut up!” We all yelled at Arthur.
I turned back to Victoria, she’s staring at me as though I’m a lazy bone.
“I’d advise you crawl back to the hole you came from, you’re too old to be looking for true love from a man who sees you as a s£x toy!” Adele said from behind me.
Victoria raised her fist again and came at Adele, but I caught her hand before she could touch Adele.
“What are you tryna do? Fight in my house?” I asked..
She scoffed.
“I’m letting you off because of your relationship with Arthur, let go of my hand or you’ll get it hot from me”
Adele laughed.
“Are you sure you wanna give it to get hot?” She laughed again. “Take my advise and leave now that there’s still time”
Victoria narrowed her eyes at me, she tried to snatch her hand from me.. but I didn’t let her.
“Let go or you’ll regret it”
“Oh, I’d love to see you make me” i said.
I twisted her hand and heard a loud crack, she howled loudly in pain and Arthur rushed between us.
He tried to make me leave her, but I didn’t.
“Jas, we didn’t come here for a fight” he said.
“But someone did, she came here fully prepared!” Adele replied.
Victoria is still howling in pain, I twisted her hand more and her cries increased.
“Let go, Jas, please” Arthur pleaded.
“Why should I? So she can talk trash again?” I asked.
Arthur shook his head, I turned to Victoria and found out she’s glaring at me even though she’s crying.
“She’s still glaring at me!” I growled and twisted her hand again.
She wailed and I smirked.
“Jas, let her go, we’ll leave” Arthur said.
I twisted her hand once more and pushed her away from me, Arthur caught her and she cradled her hand.
“Arthur, I don’t wanna have issues with you because of some hag… take her and leave my house, we can talk when you’re alone” I said.
Arthur nodded, he held her and turned to leave but Adele called him back.
“Take this” she turned her gaze to Victoria. “We’re not some cry babies… we’re not beggars either!”
She handed the plastic bag Arthur brought with him, then waved them as they left.
*.. I thought we agreed you’ll apologize to her, why did you ended up causing a fight?* I heard Arthur scold her.
I slumped back on my sofa and sighed.
“Adele, you should stop using your smart mouth on people you know are stronger than you” I said.
She laughed.
“Everyone is stronger than me” she replied.
“Which is why you should be careful who you offend”
She shook her head.
“Since I can’t fight, I should at least use my smart mouth.. it gives people the impression that I can fight.. my smart mouth scares people away.. they wouldn’t dare pick up a fight with me”
I rolled my eyeballs and shook my head, I got up and headed towards my room.
“I’m gonna go shower, then we’ll go to work” I said.
