"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.
