Winning Her Heart Again novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Engagement Party

Jasmine POV

“Engagement party for Mr. Travis and Stacy.” That announcement pierced my heart. I laughed sarcastically, but deep inside, I wanted to cry. They are having fun while I am here suffering. He’s not the Travis that I met before. He changed a lot. I don’t even recognize him anymore.

I made my way to get my handbag. I wore only a jacket. I think I’m not into myself right now. My mind and my heart are fighting. I didn’t want to go there, but my body had its own mind, and they were moving, trying to convince me to talk to him, to ask him so many different things, but I knew that he didn’t want to see me or talk to me.

I just found myself standing in front of their mansion. I don’t want them to see me, and I know that they will never let me enter.

I saw one of the maids, and I knew she recognized me. I once talked to her, and I am the reason why she stayed here for so long. I walked towards her, and I saw that she was giving me a sad expression.

“Ma’am,” she uttered, but I just smiled.

“Don’t tell them that I am here; I just want to see him,” I said. She was about to shake her head, but I gave him a begging look. “Please,” I held her hand, and she sighed.

“But they won’t let you wear that; I have an idea,” she left me standing and went to the back of the house. I thought she left me but then she came back holding a maid dress.

“Here, But please, ma’am, you have to leave before they can see you or else I’m dead,” she said worriedly. I smiled at her and nodded.

“Don’t worry. You have nothing to do with me, and I won’t tell you to help me. Thank you,” I said, and she held my hand.

“What are you still doing here?” We both stopped when someone talked behind our back.

The maid turned around while I kept on my posture.

“Uh- I saw one of the maids, and she hasn’t dressed up.” I heard her say that.

“Turn around,” The bodyguard said, which made me feel afraid.

“You know what? Don’t Interfere with us because we’re busy! Common, Damian. This girl is disturbing our work!” She said and grabbed me by my hand, and we walked faster. I thought the guy would follow us, but I just heard him cursing.

“That was close. Here change, I will wait for you. Remember, don’t show it to them, please. I will be in big trouble if they find out that I am the one who let you in,” she said while I was wearing the maid dress. I know she’s scared. I went out of the room, and I saw her sweating.

I held her hand, “Hey, don’t worry. I won’t tell, and I’ll be quick.” I said. She nodded and smiled.

“I’m sorry, but please, I know you’re hurt because of sir Travis, but don’t make trouble. You deserve better, “she said while holding my hand.
