Chapter 25: A desperate bargain

Liam's pov

My chest tightened, and my heart shattered into a million pieces as Jasmine emerged from the room with her bags.

"Jasmine, don't do this," I pleaded, grasping her hand desperately. Her red, puffy eyes met mine, and i felt a surge of regret for the pain i caused her.

"I need to leave for my sanity," she said in a hoarse voice. Tears streamed down my face as she walked out of the house, leaving me devastated.

This was the last straw, i was ready to confront Rachel for all the harm she has caused Jasmine and me. I grabbed my phone with trembling hands and called Rachel.

"Hey love, miss me already?" Rachel said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. I drew in a deep breath, trying to compose myself.

"Where are you?" I asked, trying to sound calm and she chuckled

"Why do you want to see me? I thought you wanted to kill me and my baby earlier," she asked cockily.
