The Almighty Dominance

"Absolutely not-you don't get to touch my boyfriend!"

A fierce voice shattered the tense silence, erupting seemingly out of nowhere,

jolting both Sophia and Alex as though lightning had struck.

"Jasmine?" Alex gasped in disbelief, his eyes widening at the unexpected apparition before him.

Without hesitation, Jasmine seized Alex's arm possessively, her emerald eyes blazing dangerously toward Sophia, gleaming with venomous defiance.

"He's my boyfriend, and you absolutely do not have permission to kiss him. If you insist on waiting for my blessing, prepare yourself-it might come, say, in about a hundred years."

Sophia was utterly stunned, paralyzed by Jasmine's sudden and fiery entrance.

"How on earth are you even here?" Alex questioned, clearly shaken by her sudden arrival.

With a pout brimming with indignation and tenderness, Jasmine gently struck his chest-not in anger, but in affectionate reproach.

"You idiot, I was worried sick about you! I heard Owen was causing trouble and rushed here as soon as I could. And what do I find?"

Her voice broke with an anguished sob, crystalline tears pooling in her eyes.

"I find you cozying up with your ex-wife-the woman who never once believed in you!"

"Who abandoned you when you needed her most!"

"Who repeatedly broke your heart."

Her words lashed out like whips, each carefully aimed at Sophia's pride, slicing into the fragile connection she had been painstakingly trying to rebuild with Alex.

"She doesn't deserve you, Alex. You're meant for something far better."

"Someone who treasures every piece of you, who would die rather than see you hurt again," Jasmine sobbed passionately, throwing herself into Alex's chest, her slender frame trembling against him.

Sophia felt each word like a dagger twisting mercilessly in her chest, widening the chasm that she had worked so desperately to mend.

The kiss she had nearly stolen would have sealed the reconciliation, but Jasmine had shattered that dream with her fierce claim.

Realizing the futility of remaining, Sophia bit her lip, choking down bitterness.

"Alex, I'll go ahead," she murmured quietly, offering one final, poignant look before turning away.

She could swear that as she turned, Jasmine cast a sly, mocking smile in her direction a silent declaration of victory.

"This isn't over," Sophia whispered defiantly to herself, striding toward her car, determined and unbroken.

Meanwhile, Jasmine remained nestled comfortably in Alex's embrace.noveldrama

"Can you let go of me now?" Alex gently urged.

"No," Jasmine responded playfully, tightening her grip with a mischievous sparkle in her eyes.

"It feels too good to leave your arms just yet."

"Jasmine," Alex protested softly.

"Kiss me first," Jasmine demanded, her voice sultry and tempting as she tilted her flawless face upward, captivating Alex completely.

Alex's heart raced fiercely as he gazed down at her delicate beauty.

Jasmine wasn't just attractive-she was breathtaking, a masterpiece sculpted meticulously by divine hands, a beauty so radiant and perfect that entire kingdoms could go to war for her smile alone.

At this moment, Jasmine's eyes were luminous with an earnest and sacred devotion, reflecting her unwavering love, a love capable of sacrifices beyond

measure.

If Alex were to ask, Jasmine would willingly plunge a dagger into her heart just to prove her fidelity, murmuring, "If it brings you joy, my love, I'd do it gladly."

'How could any man resist loving such a woman?'

Alex pondered helplessly, drawn irresistibly closer to her.

"Kiss me," Jasmine whispered seductively, her voice melting any remnants of his resistance.

Just as Alex began to lean in, lost in the intoxicating promise of her embrace, Josephine's startled voice rang sharply through the air.

"What exactly is going on here?"

"Josephine!" Alex jolted upright, his senses swiftly returning, caught between shock and embarrassment.

"You two are causing such a racket I couldn't possibly sleep," Josephine remarked irritably, eyeing them with suspicion.

Jasmine's eyes darkened fiercely in response, her determination flaring brighter.

Swiftly, she cupped Alex's face in her soft hands, stood tiptoe, and boldly pressed her lips to his, stealing a kiss so passionate and possessive that it left Alex breathless.

'Nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever keep me from claiming you,' Jasmine declared boldly, a defiant smirk playing across her beautiful lips.

Clearly, she possessed a courage that Sophia could never match.

The following days swept Alex into an intense whirlwind of activity, as he meticulously inspected Kingston Pharmaceuticals' production lines, determined to ensure their products met the highest standards of excellence.

When manufacturing involved merely a thousand units, errors could easily slip through unnoticed.

Now, however, with production scaled up to hundreds of thousands, the margin for mistakes multiplied drastically, compelling Alex to scrutinize every single batch with a critical eye.

Whenever Alex discovered products falling even slightly short of perfection, he sternly directed the staff to discard them immediately.

"These won't see the shelves-throw them out," he commanded, his voice firm and unyielding.

After a relentless week of vigilance, the frequency of errors began dwindling to a satisfying minimum.

Just then, Jasmine approached him, her expression conspiratorial and her voice dripping with anticipation.

"Tomorrow, we're hosting a private auction to select the main distributors for our product across the states. I'd love it if you could spare an hour to review the candidates yourself."

Alex, despite his wealth, recognized that the lucrative profits from the Emerald Elixir were essential for funding his pursuit of rare medicines to enhance his strength.

Turning down this opportunity was not an option.

"Don't worry, this will be our final assignment. Now that production and distribution are running

smoothly, all we have to do is sinet

back, count the money, and enjoy the rewards," Jasmine said playfully, ending with a flirtatious wink.

Alex sighed lightly, giving in.

"Alright, fine," he replied with reluctant amusement.

The following morning, the meeting hall at Hilton Pharmaceuticals buzzed with excitement, packed with with influential representatives from major pharmaceutical firms and ambitious distributors hailing from all thirteen states.

Each eager to monopolize their respective markets with the famed Emerald Elixir.

Since the Kingston family's high-profile announcement, the miracle drug had become a sensation, drawing immense interest from the nation's wealthiest and most ambitious entrepreneurs.

As Charles and Clara entered the bustling room, Clara leaned in, her voice tinged with hopeful curiosity.

"Charles, do you think you can secure a distributorship? Given your love hate connection to Jasmine—and she mentioned Vancouver's distribution will be directly handled by Kingston Pharmaceuticals' internal channels."

Charles puffed his chest out arrogantly, confidence radiating from him like a beacon.

"Of course! Kingston Pharmaceuticals is practically my family's empire. I'll certainly claim the distribution rights for Los Angeles."

“Hell, Jasmine might even have to toss Vermont into the deal, considering Kelly Kingston is there too."

In Charles's mind, securing these rights wasn't just about profit-it was about reclaiming the respect he believed he deserved as the eldest of Kingston.

The massive loss from their investment in Skindews, and the scandal that followed, had torn a deep hole in both his and his mother's family finances. And now, every time he faced her, her eyes seethed with a silent fury that never seemed to fade.

Clara's eyes sparkled mischievously, leaning closer with a seductive whisper, "Wonderful! I'll happily be your devoted secretary or obedient assistant, distributing your products by day, as long as you promise me your full attention every night.

The excitement was palpable between them, their eyes shimmering with the

gleam of a long-awaited financial revival.

For Charles and his mother, securing the distribution rights for Emerald Elixir wasn't just business—it was their last lifeline.

And once again, he believed Jasmine had no choice but to hand it over to him.

Suddenly, Clara's brow furrowed sharply, her tone filled with venomous contempt. "What is that worthless piece of garbage, Alex, doing here?" Charles's gaze followed hers, spotting Alex and feeling an immediate surge of bitterness, memories of their previous confrontation stirring anger within him. Seeing Alex unexpectedly ignited Charles's vindictive instincts.

A cruel smirk twisted his lips.

"Come on, Clara, let's have some fun at his expense," he suggested coldly, striding purposefully toward Alex with malicious intent burning brightly in his eyes.
