KEITH’S POV
"What do you mean let’s go home? Keith I’m not going with you," she said shaking her head.
I stopped midway. Suddenly, our situation hit me. I recalled what she did yesterday. Whilst I was still angry a lot of it had subsided
"Look I’ll turn a blind eye to what happened yesterday. Let’s just focus on getting your wounds treated," I said.
Now that everything was finally over. Tony was safe and returned. Unfortunately due to her actions yesterday though I would placing tight restrictions on her.
She violently shook her head. "No you don’t get it Keith. Thank you for saving me, but I’m not coming back to you. "
"You can’t be serious Jasmine. After everything we’ve gone through just now, you want to do this? You want to have this conversation now?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yes, it has to be now because if I let you take me now, I don’t know if you’ll let me leave," she replied.
"You’re overwhelmed right now," I told her. I wanted to discuss this later once we’ve cooled down from the situation.
"Keith you held me against my will for the past four weeks. I had no say in it. You did’t allow me to contact anyone," she angrily. yelled at me.
My eyes darkened.
It was an unfortunate but necessary precaution...because I knew you were going to try to leave. I wasn’t going to say that to her though.
"You lied to me, used my feelings Jasmine. I confessed to you," I told her. "I was being earnest with my feelings only for you to betray me."
"Because you wouldn’t let me go! You left me no choice. Why are you acting like you are the one who was wronged?"
"...." I was about to respond but paused. I just thought--hoped, that if I gave it time showed her how much I wanted her she’d change her mind. That I could win her back. I chose wrong yesterday but I was choosing right today.
"You can’t leave me Jasmine. We’re still legally married. And I’ll fight that divorce," I sternly told her. This was final and wasn’t up for discussion.
"This is exactly my point. You’re an obsessive lunatic. Everything either has to go your way or nothing. Why do you never considered what I want?" she asked.
Becuase Jasmine, unfortunately for you the one thing you want is the only thing I can’t give. If you want to work I’ll allow it. If you want shares in the Acland group I can allow it. But what is it about that Carrington boy that has you in a chokehold?
"I’m asking you to give me a chance, Jasmine. I’ll treat you right," I tried to reason with her.
"No you won’t. It’s too late for that Keith," she curtly replied. "
"Why is too late? We’re still married, we have a child together, I own a billion dollar corporation. The easiest thing for you would be to come back to me." I explained. I didn’t want to complicate my life any further.
"But why does it have to be me? there are so many other women out there Keith.
