Chapter 1 Let's End Things Between Us

• "Jasmine, let's end things between us."
• The room still carried the lingering scent of intimacy. Just moments ago, Jasmine Harper had been passionately entangled with the man in front of her, leaving her body weak and sore. She leaned against his solid chest, greedily enjoying the warmth of their skin touching.
• But she never expected him to suddenly utter those words.
• Jasmine lifted her head and looked at the man in front of her.
• Noah Caldwell was incredibly handsome, with a refreshing and captivating charm in his eyes. His nose was straight, and his lips pale, giving him an ethereal appearance.
• Yet, there was no trace of her in those pale eyes.
• They were not lovers, but were rather involved in a relationship between a sugar baby and a sugar daddy.
• Jasmine knew that Noah had a beloved childhood sweetheart he had loved for many years. She also knew that she bore some resemblance to that person, but she didn't care.
• She had willingly proposed the arrangement of being Noah's sugar baby and shamelessly drugged Noah, all just to be with him.
• She loved him.
• But Noah didn't love her; he even detested her. Only in bed would he show a hint of infatuation, but even that infatuation was not directed towards her ...
• "Why?" she asked, her voice filled with bitterness.
• "Rhonda has returned to the country," he replied.
• Rhonda Ferguson, Noah's childhood sweetheart, was also the person he loved but couldn't have.
• Jasmine didn't know about their past, but she knew that on Noah's office desk, there was always a photo of him and Rhonda.
• Noah said indifferently, "We had an agreement from the beginning. Our agreement can be terminated at any time. You've been with me for five years, so I won't treat you unfairly. You can choose any property in the city centre—"
• Jasmine coldly interrupted him, "The original has returned, so you don't need me as a substitute anymore, right?"
• A mocking smile appeared on her lips as she continued, "Noah, you truly are heartless. I've been by your side for five whole years. Don't you have even the slightest bit of feelings for me?
• "I don't want your money, and I don't want your compensation. I only want you. Why do you think I stayed by your side? Noah, as long as you say you don't have feelings for me at all, I will leave immediately and never appear in front of you again!"
• A trace of astonishment flashed in Noah's eyes.
• Jasmine's shoulders trembled lightly. Her voice choked, and her fragile appearance made him feel sympathetic and even want to give her a hug. But he held back his urge, compressed his lips and then said coldly, "Jasmine, don't push your luck. What we have is simply an agreement."
• Jasmine was startled, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
• "I understand ... "
• She got up in a dishevelled manner and put on her clothes. Disregarding the pouring rain outside, she pushed the door open and ran out.
• Noah blurted out, "Jasmine, stop!"
• That slender figure had gradually disappeared into the rain.
• Jasmine wandered aimlessly, walking on the highway with a dazed expression.
• These five years were like a surreal dream. She finally realised that even if she let go of her dignity, Noah would never love her.
• What was the point of it all?
• Jasmine's eyes were blurred by the rain, and suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of her. She raised her hand in confusion to shield her eyes, only to see a red sports car rushing towards her ...
• ...
• When she woke up again, she was already in the hospital.
• Jasmine slowly opened her eyes and met a handsome face that was full of concern.
• "Jasmine, you finally woke up!"
• Jasmine looked around in confusion.
• "Karl, why am I in the hospital? Weren't we celebrating my nineteenth birthday at home? Where are Hugh and Leroy?"
• Karl trembled as he pressed the call button by the bedside.
• "Doctor! My sister woke up, but something seems off about her!"
• Jasmine wasn't sure what was going on.
• The doctor quickly arrived and conducted a full-body examination of Jasmine.
• "Ms. Harper's test results came back normal. Based on preliminary analysis, her amnesia is due to psychological issues. Many people, after experiencing great trauma, selectively block out memories from a certain period. This is a self-healing process, so Mr. Harper, you don't need to worry too much."
