Winning Her Heart Again novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8: On My Own

Jasmine’s POV

After a few days had passed, Diego made sure that I was totally fine before we left and went abroad. News also spread that I was dead after I was hit by the car.

Diego also talked to his friends about my plan, and he said that no one would know what exactly made me happy. After that day, the doctor discharged me, and Diego let me stay in one of his condominiums.

There he helped me to recover, he also buys me everything I want. About Travis and Stacy? I decided not to think of them anymore.

I wanted to focus on my baby now. All I want is to leave this place as soon as our papers are approved.

I stood up to grab a glass of water. I’m already four weeks pregnant. Diego is not around because he’s busy with his business.

Diego never asks for an exchange for taking of me and my baby. I’m also thinking that if I hadn’t met Diane, no one would have ever helped me.

I drank the water and suddenly craved mango. I’m happy that there’s a basket of mangoes at the table. My mouth watered while I was starting to peel the mango when suddenly someone knocked on the door.

I went to open it, and I saw Diego. “I thought you had an important meeting today with a client?” I asked him, but his gaze went to my hand, which was holding a mango and a knife.

He gets them from my hand and offers a flower.

I accepted it, though I was a little bit uncomfortable.

“I told you that if you need something, just call me. You shouldn’t be holding a knife, what if you cut your hand?” He started lecturing me. I let out a sigh. Since the day I was in his condominium, he kept on ranting that I shouldn’t work or touch something that would hurt me.

He’s overreacting, but I know he’s just thinking about my safety.

“Common, I can do that. Besides, I’m being careful.” I followed him through the kitchen, and he started peeling and cutting the mangos for me.

“Just sit there and wait for me to finish it,” he said, and I had no choice but to do what he said.

“You haven’t answered my question. You said you have an important matter to do. So, why are you here?” I asked him, and he placed a bowl of mango In Front of me.

“Our papers are complete. Tomorrow will be our flight,” he answered.

I’ve been waiting for this day, and that’s the only thing that could make me happy. I wanted to start a new life, and finally, I can do it now.
