Chapter 49 Atonement
With an unblinking stare, Jasmine stood rooted to the floor, her lips were slightly parted in shock.
Kingsley didn’t stop there, his blood boiling over. "I warned you to stay the fuck out of trouble but you never seem to listen. Do you?!"
Jasmine opened her lips to argue when she finally found her voice. "It wasn’t intentional and—"
Kingsley sarcastically cut in on her words. "Of course, it wasn’t. If you were in this house, would you have been involved with that scumbag whose hands were all over you a few minutes ago??" His eyes flashed in anger, his veins popped up on his throat as he glared down at Jasmine as if she were his prey.
"It’s my body, Kingsley." Jasmine retorted. She started to get pissed by Kingsley’s annoyance towards her. Fine, he saved her but growling at her like this??
’Unacceptable!’
Kingsley’s eyes sank even more, he took a step towards Jasmine, leaned closer, and snapped, making sure his words sank into Jasmine’s head. "You are my wife, Jasmine."
"Contract wife." She reminded.
A flash of disbelief crossed Kingsley’s eyes as he paused momentarily but that look left his face in a blur.
Kingsley’s eyes lingered on Jasmine’s face for a while, clenching and unclenching his fists before he spun and left Jasmine standing there.
He didn’t utter any more words, heading towards his room. Afraid that staying a few more seconds will make him go insane. His hands fought with his tie as he went to his room. His mood sour.
