Chapter 6: Desperate Jasmineâs POV I had mixed emotions when I saw her looking at me. She angrily walked towards me, and I was about to leave when she caught me and pulled my hair.
âWhere do you think youâre going?!â Travisâ mom shouted, which made the guests look at me. The way they looked at me made me embarrassed.
They looked at me like I was some kind of poor thing.
âIâm leaving now. Please let go of me,â I pleaded, but she only gave me a hard slap. I held my face, feeling the burning sensations. I looked at the stage, and I saw Travis blankly looking at me while Stacy looked at me in confusion and started to walk down towards us.
âHow dare you come here?! Are you trying to ruin this party?!â she shouted angrily. I wanted to shout at her, too, but I didnât want to make things worse. Thatâs why I just turned around. Before I could take my first step, she grabbed my hand again, and for the second time, I received another hard slap.
âIâm still talking to you Bitch!â She gritted her teeth.
âMom, whatâs going on?â Stacy looks at Travisâ mom. Does it mean that she doesnât know about me and Travis?
âWait, you look familiarâ she pointed at me and nodded. I sigh, and Iâm about to walk away when I see Travis looking blankly at me.
âThis woman is trying to seduce your fiance Stacy! Look how pathetic she is! Dreaming of having a successful man for what?! For money, of course!â
She laughed so loud that she made everyone murmur while judging me based on their looks.
I did not seduce Travis, and I am not trying to seduce him right now. And I have no intention of getting his money! How could she accuse me of something that I never did and I canât do?
âWhat?â Stacy canât believe what she heard. I wanted to talk, but Stacy slapped me without hesitation.
I held my face while Travis looked away. Is he not going to stop them? I laughed in my mind. Of course, why would he? Weâre already divorced, and he had nothing to do with me.
âI canât believe she has the guts to come here,â one of the guests said, looking at me with disgust on her face. She looks at me like I am some gold digger.
âPoor people will do everything for money now,â a lady said and smirked. I glanced at myself and at them, staring at me and judging me without knowing the truth.
âIs that true? Is that the reason why I saw you In Front of that door? Telling Travisâs name?!â she shouted while Travis held Stacyâs hand, trying to calm her down. I feel pity for myself. I do not belong here. I regret coming.
âStacy,â Travis called her, but Stacy looked at him. Travis sighs and glances at me. He never showed mercy.
âIs that true, Travis?â Stacyâs voice became sad. Iâm so stupid for coming here knowing that Iâm an outcast.
I waited for his response while her mom was looking at me with rage.
âI told you, I donât know her. Maybe sheâs just one of my fans?â How many times do you want to hurt me with your words, Travis? Weâve been together for years, but youâre acting like you are telling everyone that you donât know me.
âStacy, darling, and everyone listen up! This woman is looking for a rich man that she can use as a victim and make herself a bait so she can earn money!â Everyone made a sound, and they even grabbed their partners near them.
They were Afraid that I might steal their man. I looked at Travis. He knew that her momâs words were all a lie. But why is he not saying anything to clear my name?
Sheâs making them believe that I am a slut woman.
âYouâre lyingâ, I suddenly said, which made her and the crowd angry.
Someone walks towards me and pours a glass of wine on my face.
âSomeone like that should not exist!â She said and looked at Stacy.
Everyone laughed at my looks while I was trying to wipe my face, and tears started to fall.
They were laughing at me and mocking me.
I looked down while hearing them saying hurtful words against me that made Travisâs mom smile.
âHow pathetic,â the old woman said while smirking at me.
âShe deserved that,â The lady wearing an expensive necklace said that her husband agreed.
Winning Her Heart Again (Jasmine)
ï¤Chapter 5: Engagement Party âSlutâ, a young girl uttered, wearing a devilish look.
They kept on mocking me until I felt dizzy. I could not stop now but cry.
When I turned my gaze to the side, I saw the maid who had helped me earlier standing with pity on her face, but I just shook my head.
I looked at Travis, but he only gave me a blank expression. I canât even see mercy on his face.
Why did you turn out to be like this?
âGet out of here now before I lose my temper and let the guards throw you,â Travis said. I couldnât endure his momâs words, but him talking to me like that? I canât. It hurts. I wanted to slap him because of what he did to me. I wanted to shout at all of them for judging me, but I didnât have the strength to do so.
I stared at him for a moment, while the others didnât stop talking dirty about me.
Then the next thing happened: Stacy grabbed a plate full of food and threw it on me, which made me fall to the floor.
I held my tummy as I felt it hurt. I also felt dizzy, but I managed to stand up while I felt something dripping between my legs.
âNo,â I cried. I saw blood on my hand when I touched it. In desperate times, I manage to walk away. I canât look at them any longer. I feel like itâs suffocating me.
I went out of the mansion, and when I was about to pass through the road, I saw a car speeding towards me. The next thing I remember, I lost consciousness.
