Chapter Fourteen: Whispers of the Past

As the sun rose, casting a warm glow over the city, Sarah prepared herself for another day at the bank. Being a dedicated banker, she always strived to give her best, ensuring the financial stability of her clients. With a quick kiss on Jasmine's forehead, she bid her daughter goodbye and set off for work.

The day at the bank was filled with meetings, paperwork, and countless phone calls. Sarah's mind was occupied with numbers and figures.

After a long day of hard work, Sarah decided to make a quick stop at the grocery store. She carefully selected fresh fruits, vegetables, and other essential food items, envisioning the delicious meals she would prepare for her and Jasmine. With her grocery bags in hand, she made her way to a nearby boutique, hoping to find a few new clothes to refresh her wardrobe.

In the boutique, Sarah browsed through racks of elegant dresses and stylish blouses. She selected a couple of outfits that caught her eye, treating herself to a small indulgence. As she paid for her purchases, a familiar warmth enveloped her. She couldn't help but smile, feeling his presence in the simplest of moments.

Arriving home, Sarah was greeted by Jasmine's cheerful face. Her daughter rushed to her side, eager to help carry the bags into the kitchen. Together, they unloaded the groceries, their laughter filling the air. Jasmine's youthful energy brought a sense of joy and lightness to Sarah's heart, momentarily easing the weight of her responsibilities.

After finishing their task, Jasmine retreated to her room, engrossed in her own world of books and dreams. Sarah, left alone in the kitchen.

As night fell, casting a blanket of darkness over the city, Sarah found herself lost in her thoughts. It was during these quiet moments that Alexander's spirit came to her to remind her of what he said about Jasmine, whispering reminders of the promises of torment that he had made. His voice, though faint, echoed through her mind, urging her to remember how terrible the last torment was .

In the midst of her contemplation, Sarah's phone buzzed, interrupting the silence. It was a message from an old friend, inviting her to a charity event the following week. The event aimed to raise funds for underprivileged children, a cause close to Sarah's heart. She couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement, knowing that she could make a difference in the lives of those in need.

Inspired by the message and Alexander's whispers, Sarah made a decision. She would honor her late husband's memory by continuing their legacy of compassion and generosity. With renewed determination, she began planning ways to contribute to the charity event.

As the night wore on, a new day broke and Sarah went to her place of work. And jasmine decided to pay Ethan a visit, but to her greatest surprise he was not at home. So she change her plans to go to Kate's house, on reaching there her parents told Jasmine that she wasn't around that she went to Lily's house to help her out. On hearing it Jasmine was so surprised and she ran down to Lily's house to see the both of them. They were all delighted to see each other, they all conversed and after spending a little while in Lily's house Jasmine decided to go home. As she was going she gave both Kate and Lily a warm hug and left.

When Sarah got back from work, she sat Jasmine down beside her and told her of what had happened last night. She then asked her if she was willing to continue her father's legacy and rebuild his cult "The Enlightened Ones"? Jasmine answer was no as she did not like the activities of the cult anymore.
