Chapter one: News

The sun was up in the sky slowly bringing light to the city, Jasmine loved watching this beautiful sight every morning, the sun bestowing its light unto the city bringing the beautiful places to view. It was outstanding.

Taking a deep breath from the morning air she smiled letting the cool morning wind absorb her in its peaceful arms , making her hair dance to the rythm of the wind. Such a peaceful moment to connect with nature.

'Ding ding' came the blaring out of her phone from her pocket. Technology always had to ruin her interactions with nature.

"Good morning Ashley "she sighed into the phone.

"I am sorry to interrupt your morning , I know how much you love enjoying your morning peace " Ashley apologized "but there is news"

"News?" Jasmine questioned walking back into her house and picking up a coffee mug " Good or bad" she asked taking a sip from her mug.

"I don't know how to classify it "Ashley said earnestly moving her blond hair away from her face.

"Okay just break the news to me "

"Hum" Ashley Hummed and Jasmine heard her take a deep breath.

"There's a high school reunion being held back at home"She let the words came out slowly so it wouldn't seem over hyped.

"H..high school r ...reunion " Jasmine stammered. Her mind drifted back to her high school days.

10 years ago......

Andrew Windfall was Richway high school most popular guy , he was an athlete, excelled in academics and was every girls dream guy.

Including Jasmine Jefferson, but the only difference was that Jasmine didn't have to confidence to meet him , she was shy unlike the other girls , who hovered around him like bees on a nectar filled flower. Despite her witnessing him rejecting one of her friends being rejected by him , she still couldn't give up on the feelings she had for him.

He was a arrogant young man back then, so full and proud of himself , he commanded and they obeyed. The all powerful Andrew Windfall.

That day her friend told a girl about her feelings towards Andrew Windfall and the girl snitched her out and when it got to the ears of Andrew Windfall it was a sad display to witness.

"I heard you like me " He said softly with his husky musical voice and a flirty smile on his face. He had cornered her in the hallway trapped between him and a wall , he placed his right hand on the wall to stop her from moving and his left hand in his pocket , with a group of his friends at his back, students stopping to watch the drama.

"Yes " she mumbled quietly. Her answer made his lips pull into a thin line. He took a moment to observe her features , then he shook his head disappointed.

"You are not in class " he said nonchalantly "I wouldn't even look at someone like you, I have a class and you don't fall under my league " He said in a loud enough for everyone to hear .

The girl didn't give a reaction she just frowned and watched as he and his friends moved away.

Present day.......

" I am not attending " Jasmine said blatantly

"Really I thought you'd say so , but you have to if you get invited "Ashley stated in a matter- of ‐fact tone.

"Ash " She massaged her forehead thinking of what to say "There's a possibility I won't get invited "she said

"Why do you think so?" Ashley asked pouting slowly.

"I mean I wasn't that popular back in high schools right?... I was an average student and didn't really interact with everyone "

"well you made a difference, everyone one will remember you for being the most helpful student as and most gentle , but I know how crazy you are " Ashley laughed at the last part.

" more like the nerd who got rejected by Andrew Windfall" she said bitterly. "besides who is organizing this?"

" I really don't know, the E‐mailer has a very secure account probably want to remain anonymous "

"Anonymous!" Jasmine exclaimed "that's worse "

"don't worry about it "

"okay" Jasmine sighed "well I am getting late for work I will call later" she said checking her digital watch "and I'll check if I got invited, I pray I don't " she mumbled the last part silently.

"call you later" Ashley said hanging up the call . No one was more aware of Jasmine plight more than her , her bear best friend didn't want to face her past , all she could do was pray for her.

******************************

Fourth spring hospital was the most reputed medical center in the country and home to the best and youngest heart surgeon in the country.

A man entered the hospital with a bodyguard behind him, he had a dark alluring aura that made people stare at him in wonderment. he wore dark shades avoiding eye contact with the people as he walked with swagger making his way toward the receptionist desk.

"Good day sir" The receptionist a middle aged woman greeted politely. "how may I help you ?" she asked. The man directed his bodyguard to answer.

"He has an appointment " The blond haired bodyguard said.

"Name sir"

"Windfall, Andrew Windfall "The man with shades replied haughtily.

The woman swolled , shivering when she heard his name " oh yes Mr Windfall, first office on the right sir" she said.

He moved away and started making the way to his office , recieving stares from the spellbound people as if they had never seen a handsome man before. Pausing at the front of the door he directed his body guard to open it.

Resting comfortably on her office chair Jasmine was reminiscing on her conversation with Ashley , she hoped she wouldn't get invited and if she did would she be able to face her past. Her thoughts were interrupted by the blaring of the phone.

"Miss Jefferson a man is on his way to your office " Sally the receptionist informed her.

"I don't have an appointment with anyone, at least non that I know of" Jasmine was surprised by the information.

"You must have not been informed, the appointment was made this morning, the man seems influential boss made me shift all your other appointments "Sally said conscientiously.

"who does he think he is, I am not attending to anyone " Jasmine said angrily.

"Well you have to attend to me " A husky musical voice said, the sudden arrival of the man made her body shiver.
