Chapter-26

"Dad, where are Jasmine and Daniel? Haven't they arrived yet?" Alexander asked Theodore, who looked at him confused. ​​

Confused, not because he asked about Jasmine and Daniel, but because he called him dad with this emotion after such a long time.

"Son? Is it you? Is it you, my son? My Alexander?" Theodore asked, placing his hands on Alexander's cheeks lovingly.

"It's me, dad. I'll explain it all later, but right now I need to find her. So tell me, where is Jasmine?" Alexander asked again.

"Honestly, I don't know. Both Daniel and Jasmine were here half an hour ago, but after Robert met Jasmine and said something to her, I can't find either of them." Theodore said with a sigh.

"Robert met Jasmine? And he said something to her? Why did you even allow him near her, knowing all the truth about her!" Alexander almost yelled at his father but calmed down later, knowing he was standing in front of soo many people.

Spotting Robert talking to Laila, he looked at him dangerously, annoyed that he said something provocative to Jasmine, before started walking towards them.

"Laila, I don't know if you've any dignity or not. These people don't even respect you, and why should they? You are not exactly the best woman in the world, but you still live here like there's nothing wrong in the world. I mean, what a load of crap you have made out of yourself." Robert scoffed, making Laila uncomfortable, who looked at him with uneasiness.

"Piss off, Robert. I am not here to spoil my mood with you. I have something more important to do rather than wasting my time on a loser like you." Laila said, trying to get around Robert, who gripped her hand, keeping her in place.

"Important work? Let me guess? Is it something around wooing Damien? Because that's what you are good at. Well, were good at it because from what I see, I don't think Damien is getting allured by you." Robert scoffed, wanting to get under her skin.

"What I do is none of your concern, Robert. This is my life. I choose to stay here because I know it will be me, he will be choosing in the end." Laila said proudly, though her eyes were betraying her confidence big time.

"Keep dreaming, darling. We all know, neither Alexander nor will his wolf will ever choose you. And you should fit this in your non-existent brain as soon as possible." Robert said, smirking, knowing that his words were making a big difference on her.

"He will choose me, and you will be a witness to that. And what are you jealous about? I love him, I am trying for him. What the hell are you doing? You said you loved Victoria, but what did you do for her? Guess what? I think here's the chance for you. There is one more girl who looks just like Victoria, go ahead, approach her. But I know you won't because I know what you are, just a weakling who is just a puppy under my Damien." Laila said, smirking when she noticed Robert squinting his brows.

"Your Damien? Did you seriously say my Damien? Please don't let Damien hear this or choosing you to be his queen or not, he will surely choose you to torture you in the dungeons. Don't you remember what happened with the last girl who tried to get close to him and said he was hers?" Robert said, smirking triumphantly when he saw the hesitation in her eyes.

"And what did you say? Jealous? Did you say jealous? Jealous of who, you? Or him? Haha… I indeed loved her. I loved her soo much that I let her go to her mate who would keep her ten times happier than me." Robert said at the same time Alexander reached him.

Hearing his words, Alexander relaxed a bit and patted his shoulder to call him. Alexander knew that Robert had changed big time. He also knew that he was one of the guys that truly cared about Victoria and would never mean her any harm, or he wouldn't have treated her like that.

Turning around, Robert looked at Alexander, immediately getting all smiles,

"Brother, it's been so long." He said before hugging Alexander.

"What did you say to Jasmine?" Alexander sighed.

"Jasmine? Jasmine, who?" Robert asked, a bit confused, before he realized who he was talking about.

"Oh, the girl that looks exactly like Victoria, you mean?" Robert smirked.

"I am not in the mood to joke, Robert. Tell me what did you say to her, because earlier she was there, but I can't find her anywhere anymore. And father told me that she went somewhere after she talked with you. So tell me, what exactly did you say." Alexander said, worry clear in his eyes.

"Brother, I just apologized to her for misunderstanding her for Victoria. And well, I told her a little about Daniel." Robert shrugged.

Alexander looked at him with squinted brows before he sighed and patted his shoulder before going in a different direction.

"Hahaha…did you see his expression? What did you say to her? Where is she?" Robert said to Laila, laughing loudly.

"He didn't even gazed at you. I don't know if you are truly dumb and can't see things, or you are pushing yourself to not see the emotion in his eyes. The guy is crazy over her. Honestly, I have met many mates and couples, but I haven't met a pair like them. One takes the sacrifice spell on herself, and the other is crazy about her." Robert said, leaning on the wall, enjoying the contorted expression on Laila's face.

"She is not Victoria, Robert," Laila said, though the event from the pool was still fresh in her mind where she had gone haywire and had beaten her like anything.

"Keep imagining, honey. Honestly, it's fun. Looking at you trying like this. And honestly, I am just sticking around to see who will throw you out. Will it be Alexander, his wolf Damien, Jasmine, or her owner Victoria?" Robert said before cheering her glass and leaving her alone with her thoughts.

Meanwhile, Jasmine, who was feeling too shocked to react to anything, fell to the ground after walking for some distance around the lake.

Victoria, that was present in her conscience and was waiting for the perfect chance to take over her body, immediately pushed Jasmine back with great difficulty before smiling triumphantly.

"It's time I start showing my visibility to these people before they start thinking that Jasmine is just a replica of mine. That Robert, he still remembers everything. I have to be a bit wary of him and also thank him properly for creating this chance for me." She said aloud before she started walking towards the mansion, changing her dress to the blue one with the flicker of her fingers.

"Violet? I am not Jasmine anymore." She scoffed, looking at her hairs that were a light brown color again.
