Chapter 84: I have never left you
Jazmine Harris had long lost the strength in her legs and collapsed onto her knees.
Memories flooded her mind, one after another, unraveling like a chain reaction triggered by this very place.
After Sebastian Crowne saved her life, he looked after her. He had bought this skyscraper and let her stay in the penthouse. Jazmine had no idea why he cared for her—at first, she even suspected he had ill intentions. But with time, he proved himself. In the beginning, he was cold and distant, but as they spent more time together, he slowly changed.
She also remembered a cheeky teenage boy who always used to follow them—Elias , Sebastian's younger brother. Thinking about him, a small smile formed on Jazmine's lips. She wondered how he was now. He was three years younger than her, which meant he would be twenty-three by now.
As time passed, the three of them grew close. Jazmine cherished the moments she spent with the Crowne brothers. Back then, she had been young and naive, unaware of how much worry she had caused to the people who cared for her.
Sebastian was always a quiet person. But one day, he surprised her—he confessed his feelings for her. At the time, he was twenty-two. Jazmine had been caught off guard, completely flustered. At first, she avoided him. But slowly, her heart warmed up to the idea. She had just gone through heartbreak, and love was something she barely understood. But she knew that with him, she felt safe. With him, she felt... complete.
Slowly but surely, she realized that she had feelings for him too. It was on this very terrace that they had shared their first kiss.
"Are you alright? Jazmine, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have..."
Sebastian approached her cautiously, noticing the pain in her expression. Remembering everything was clearly taking a heavy toll on her.
"What happened to me? Why did I forget everything?" Jazmine met his gaze, her voice barely above a whisper. "Why did I forget you?"
She remembered spending time with him. She remembered falling in love with him. But as time passed, the memories blurred—until they disappeared completely. There were still so many things she couldn't recall, like how it had all come to an end.
