Jasmine listen to me, I know you’re mad at me after the argument we had but you don’t have to take things this far.
"You’re refusing to divorce me?" I asked him in disbelief.
"I think you’re acting rather brashly out of emotion. Why don’t we talk about things together and figure things out," he suggested.
"Keith you have a lover and the two of you are planning to married soon. It will be as you’ve always wanted. You can finally be with the woman you wanted to be with from the beginning. I just want to remove myself from the situation. So why don’t you just let me and my son be and as you two do your thing," I told him.
"You always say my son as if he’s only yours," he commented ignoring everything else I was saying.
"That’s because only one of us seems to give a shit about him," I snapped at him. "You doubt that he’s your son anyway and you completely abandoned him ever since you had us moved out of the main mansion. "
"I don’t doubt that he’s my son," he said.
I rolled my eyes at that. He definitely entertained the rumors that spread initially when Diana presented Marco for the first time. Everyone started doubting whether he was Keiths son.
"Keith I’m serious I no longer want to do this with you and Diana. I can’t do it anymore," I told him as I began to turn away. "You made your choice. You chose Diana and that’s fine but I too want to make my own choice."
"Even so Jasmine lets be realistic you can’t afford to take care of you and Anthony," he started. "Keep in mind I pay for Anthonys school fees what are you going to send him to public school since you asked for no money?"
"Your money would be useless to me anyway Keith because I would never receive it," I said to him.
"Not this argument again he complained.
He wasn’t listening to me I thought to myself. I was so annoyed by how he genuinely thought he was trying to help me. I decided to just walk away.
"Oh my gosh, Jasmine," I heard him say then he suddenly grabbed my arm.
I turned to face him once more.
"Let go of me," I told him to stop and tried to pull my arm away from his. Kyle, my bodyguard could only watch since he couldn’t touch Keith. He was Chairman Acland after all. Louis had assigned the bodyguards to protect me from Diana’s antics but against a powerful man like Keith there was not much they could do.
"Jasmine let’s go. enough of this. Let’s get you home," he said. "Jasmine we both know you can’t afford no matter how much pride you have. We’ll discuss everything else later and the divorce but you need me Jasmine. Where are you and Anthony staying? I’ll get your things and have you sent back home."
"Im telling you. I do have a place to say and I will be able to to take care of my son," I replied as I fought for him to release me.
"Jasmine be honest with yourself you have no one. Your family has abandoned you and you don’t have any friends. I am your only hope," he told me.
My eyes widened in sadness at those words. I knew what he was saying was true but hearing him say it to me like this just made it sink in deeper for me. I didn’t have any friends, family to turn to. If it weren’t for Louis, Keith would be all I had. And since I couldn’t rely on him I had no one at all.
"I think she said she doesn’t want to talk to you," A familiar male voice then said from behind me and the sound of footsteps approaching. I turned to look and found myself shocked by who it was.
Louis, I thought to myself in surprise. How, when did he get here? Following behind him I saw Harry, my other bodyguard. Had Harry gone to call Louis? Louis came to stand in between Keith and I. He then removed Keith’s arm from mine.
