Call Me Mummy, Dear Ex: The Betrayed Fiancee Strikes Back One
Jasmine's POVWhere was my husband to be?I was in my pure, beautiful wedding dress and felt ashamed in front of the priest's questioning eyes.Everyone was waiting for Jake to arrive with the rings he had claimed he wanted to pick up, but he never showed up, and the fear that he wasn't going to was beginning to taunt me."Ava, is there something I should know? The guests are beginning to get tired," the minister asked discreetly. No one needed to tell me; it had been over four hours. It was funny, especially since my stepmom seemed so calm, and surprisingly, Gwen, my step-sister, was absent.That's when Sarah gasped and brought my phone."Is that Jake?"Looking at her eyes, my heart fell before I took steps backward. "What is it saying, Sarah?" I heard my stepmom yell, and the others around her seemed to concur."Jake won't be coming here," she shakily said, gasps filling the hall; while still shaking, I snatched the phone from her hand and called him."Jasmine baby... Please don't t
Call Me Mummy, Dear Ex: The Betrayed Fiancee Strikes Back Two
Jasmine's POVI was dead, at least to everyone in this hall.Just roughly three years ago, I had been dumped at this alter, but here he was, marrying my sister after taking everything away from me.With a smirk on my face, I walked in just as the priest had said, "If anyone present knows of any reason why this couple should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace.""Who is that?""I can't remember seeing Gwen's friends looking this hot. The slit I had asked the designer to add was doing a perfect job of showing enough skin.My eyes met Jake, and I flashed a smile at him. "Who is she?" I could still hear, and seeing an audience, I decided to enjoy the attention, making sure my heels clicked well against the floor."Is she here to stop the wedding?" Someone whispered, causing my grin to widen. It was funny how these people cared more about nobody walking to her seat than about the wedding that was taking place."Could she be…" I blocked out those whispers as my eyes met a

Jasmine's POVWe arrived at the reception, where I overheard one of the gossip ladies whisper that it would go on until midnight. It was going well until Mr. Blackwood started to suspect me. He asked me questions I didn't want to answer without Jake or Gwen nearby. His sudden interest made me feel uncertain about my plan.He was hanging around me to keep me at arm's length. At first, I was sure it wouldn't be so hard to lure him, but judging by how he acted, I was beginning to doubt him."You didn't tell me how you got an invite?" he asked, pulling me out of my trance as I watched Jake and Gwen dance while praying one of them fall. His question was unexpected, and it took me off script.There was no way I was going to tell him Gwen had sent an invite to my burial ground, where she had mocked me for being six feet under while she was using Jake to climb the ladder and how much she was using out of my company's stock or a wedding that she had stolen... at least not now."Tell me why yo

Jasmine's POV “Jas…” his soft call pulled me back to the present.I don’t know how much I cried, but I did so in his arms; he didn’t judge me, nor did he say anything… he just held me in his arms and let me.“Do you want to get out of here or perhaps go in?” He asked, and I sniffed before answering, “Home?”“I was hoping you wouldn’t say home; you can’t let their words get to you… you are beautiful, and I don’t know how my stupid son could let go of you so easily, but leaving proves them right”.“What are you saying?”“You seemed to have grown a nerve, but it isn’t enough. You are my date tonight, so we’d go in, and you’d do your best to stay away from your sister,” he whispered.“Why?” I asked him as he wiped away the tears from my face with his face towel.“Why what, kitten?”“Your son…he did this, but you are helping me? You should be taking his side.” I asked, confused. Everything was going according to plan.Ignoring my question, he pulled me closer to him before whispering, “L

Jasmine's POV. "Have you lost your mind?" Mr. Blackwood stared at me with bulging eyes flickering with various emotions that made me realize that he was going through a lot of internal turmoil–the most prominent: shock! He probably hadn't heard something like this in his life. I was glad to see him in such a confused state. "It's a pleasure to see you stunned, Mr. Blackwood." He pinched the bridge of his nose as he tried to gain momentum. "Let's just say that this is remotely true, why the hell will you proposition me?" I smacked my lips cheekily, winking at him afterward. Men were often not accustomed to the fact that ladies were now taking charge of certain situations. "How is that a problem, darling?" He stared at me in shock and I couldn't help but burst into laughter. Pointing at his face with one finger, I smacked my second hand with the other. "My goodness, you make me laugh! You should see your face!" I laughed. He crossed his arms over each other while sho

Jasmine's POV.From the way his brows creased in confusion, I knew that I had an opening. It was now up to me to seize it with both hands or just keep staring at him without answering any questions. "What the hell do you mean by that?" "Exactly what I said, baby..." I drawled, smirking lightly. A flicker of emotions ran through his face causing me to chuckle softly. "That's the most ridiculous thing that I've ever heard. I know that you're cross with Jake which is understandable but spinning lies on him, is too low for even you don't you think?" He accused me. I sighed and rolled my eyes in frustration at the way he was handling things. I was sure that he was feeling a certain way but that didn't mean that I was lying. "You know what? Why don't you just call him and ask if I'm telling the truth or not before writing me off completely. We've come a long way." I drawled again, knowing that it would piss him off. It went accordingly. His eyes narrowed angrily at me and I chuckled.
Call Me Mummy, Dear Ex: The Betrayed Fiancee Strikes Back Seven
Jasmine's POV. The sound of people talking animatedly woke me up and I groaned as I tried to understand what the hell was happening. I looked at the television and saw a few reporters arguing over the GDP and whatnot.I hissed, reached for my phone and unlocked it with my fingerprints. It was still a few minutes shy of noon. I had slept for so long. A good three hours. I forced myself to go into the bathroom and wash myself clean of the previous escapades. Who would have thought that I would proposition a man? Not just any man, my father in-law! Now that I thought about it, it sounded so weird to me and I was a bit worried for what this could mean. It wouldn't be an easy task convincing him to agree to my terms and conditions, seeing that he was probably straight-laced and would see this as a mess. I just wanted to get back at Jake but I wanted it to be in a way that he left expected. I knew that he would have been shaking in his boots after hearing this but I wished I was there t

Jasmine's POV. When I got downstairs I adjusted my sunshades so that I didn't get easily recognized. A bodyguard ushered me to the car waiting at the curb and I rolled my eyes when I saw a Lamborghini sitting prettily waiting for me. The driver opened the door as soon as I got closer and I walked in. Mr blackwood looked straight ahead, pretending not to see me, and I rolled my eyes again. If we were going to have a conversation where we had to team up he had to reduce his ego because it wasn't going to work for me. "Who thought that I'd see you again?" I inquired from him stylishly, acting like I didn't know he was angry or needed that information so badly. "Maxwell start the car." He ordered. I was happy hearing his voice, so I decided to tease him a bit by placing my arm on his thigh. A flicker in his gaze showed me that I was unto something. "Do you realize that this is inappropriate? You are not under any influence so I would not excuse your behavior." He sna

Jasmine's POV.Life had been good, especially after my step-sister, who had gone to change her face through plastic surgery and pretended to be another person so that she could just get closer to Mr blackwood and get rid of him, was thrown behind bars. Cross and Donovan, who were also working together, had infinite jail sentences. My stepmom was also caught while she was trying to cross the country and flung behind bars too. It made me happy that everything was finally falling into place. I wouldn't have been able to achieve all of this if Mr blackwood and I hadn't devised a means of catching this person in their traps. He walked in with my son on his shoulders. "You must be so happy to see your mother." He said and my son mewled despite not understanding a word his father said. "Hey baby, what are you doing up here alone? Your baby has pooped."I raised a brow, "so he is suddenly my baby and not yours?" I inquired, waiting for his response so that I knew how to answer him appropr

Jasmine's POV. "Exactly what you predicted is already coming to pass." Mr blackwood spoke into my ear causing me to be startled. Wasn't expecting him to show up anytime soon. "What is that?" I inquired from him after he kissed me. "How was work today?"He grinned like a Cheshire cat. "What?" I inquired again when he kept on grinning. "You are amazing. How would I have coped without you in my life?" He said sweetly. Now, whenever he started to praise me, I knew that there was a caveat attached. "Are you serious?" "Of course I am. You are the best thing that has happened to me in a long while. I don't think anyone has come close though." He replied and I smiled at him softly. He had a mission and I also wanted to find out. "I'm happy to announce to you that our suspicions were right." He said and I smiled at him. "I know what you are about to ask. You are about to ask what we are waiting for." "That's right! I thought we were supposed to prosecute immediately if we had substanti

Jasmine's POV. "We should go over to that aisle." Mr blackwood suggested which I decided to take. The usual brand of chocolate I loved to eat wasn't here. I didn't want to start searching for it in various stores. "Jasmine? Is that you, Jasmine?" A voice called and I turned. Squinting to see the face of the person who called my name. I recognized Cross. "Cross?" I asked the first time and he smiled. I could never forget that smile. "In flesh and blood." He said while stretching his arm and turning 360. "I thought you would never remember my face again. It's been what? Almost a decade. Wow, you look so beautiful. I can't almost imagine that you are standing before me. It's not supposed to be a bad thing but you understand what I mean. I am very... I guess what I'm saying is that you are beautiful. It's nice to run into you after a long while too." He said with a polite smile.I glanced at his ears. They were always long; I guess some things never changed, no matter if we filled th

Jasmine POV. Three months later, "Will you be done anytime soon I need to get out of this house before it's too late," I called from the doorway when Mr Blackwood was still washing up. He woke up late today. I had a meeting with GText Holdings and I needed to honor that invitation. I had chased this deal for a long time now, allowing it to slip off my fingers due to carelessness was the last thing I wanted in my life."You can go ahead I might not be joining you in the car today. I also want to speak to a few investors who have signified interests. When we are done we can converge at the store later today.” He also called from inside the bathroom. With everything that was being done, I was no longer feeling like something was missing. I knew that whatever I was looking for Mr blackwood was going to provide. It didn't necessarily mean money because both of us were well off. My heart kept flickering to Gwen and my stepmom. It seemed like they disappeared from the face of the Earth

Jasmine's POV. "With all the pieces of evidence before me, this is my judgment..." The judge said, and I held my breath. This was coming to be the determining factor of whether or not my father was going to get Justice. "I would have to permit Mrs Bailey on the grounds of bail. Although the evidence points to her as having some grudges against her husband, we cannot just convict somebody simply because of what another said." He replied, making me angry. There was no way he had not been bribed because the way he was something the case. "if you are not satisfied with my judgment you can seek redress." He said while looking directly into my eyes. I was going to seek one, "you permit a murderer to walk about simply because you have been paid?" I confronted him. He wasn't also above the law, so whenever things were not going the way they should, I had every right to confront him about it. "Do not think that I don't see everything that is going on here. You are only trying to wave atte

Jasmine's POV. Two weeks later, We were before the judge in the city Court and everyone kept on looking from her to me. "We begin this trial between Miss Jasmine and Miss Bailey because she, Miss Jasmine, feels that her stepmother might have a hand in her father's death." The court clerk said. I waited patiently for my turn. They all knew that I wasn't hasty when it came to situations like this as long as I knew what I was doing. My legal representative, barrister Lawson, stood beside me with a smile on his face, and that fueled my confidence in this case. "Barrister Lawson will be representing Miss Jasmine, while Barrister Damien will be representing Mrs. Bailey." The court clerk announced again. I wasn't worried about their announcements because I knew what I wanted to achieve. They could deceive everyone but not me. As long as I got my answers right, they would regret ever crossing me in their entire lives. That was exactly how I was going to play this game. "Do you swear th

Jasmine's POV. Drum rolls, now this was getting pretty interesting. "This is the joke of the century." Jake took the words out of my mouth but I knew that there was every tendency for this information to be true. Mr Blackwood stood with his hands akimbo, brooking no arguments. He wasn't going to repeat himself. "Exactly what you heard me say. I have tolerated your excesses and that's one of the reasons you have refused to learn your lessons. You would keep on going back and forth simply because you cannot take a rejection. Nothing is going to make me take you back into my company. I will send for DNA testing, and we will confirm the paternity if that's what you want." He said. Whoa, this was greater than I could ever imagine. Who would have thought that there was something fishy in this house and even Jake never knew this? Jake laughed warily. "you must be kidding. How can you tell me after all these years that you are not my father? Is this a way of you getting out of your respo
Call Me Mummy, Dear Ex: The Betrayed Fiancee Strikes Back Ninety-Seven
Jasmine's POV."You must be kidding me. Tell Jake to get off my property if he doesn't want me to descend on him. I built it with my sweat and blood, he doesn't have a part in it. The earlier he understands this the better for him." Mr Blackwood fired at the person on the other end of the phone. I was interested in knowing what was going on again. Was Jake still planning his shenanigans? I thought he had stopped all of this nonsense. Why, then, was he still making everyone edgy?""Is everything okay?" Mr. Blackwood looked up like he just remembered I was present. "Seriously, can you be on your own for a while, while I take care of something? I need to teach that bastard a lesson that he would never forget things his entire life. I do not want to stress you because I understand what is going on. I will drive you home if you want then go to the meeting." He explained yet I still didn't understand where he was coming from. I needed him to tell me more about Jake. "I'm coming with you

Jasmine's POV. Even the blind could tell that this was nothing but a lie, but I didn't want to talk about it. I was also careful with my words, but I didn't manage to land myself in trouble that I wouldn't be able to explain. If she said it was because she was looking for a way for my father's health, then I just needed to act like I believed which we both knew was a huge lie. I wasn't going to allow anyone to get to me when I could just stay away and pretend like I never heard from her.Mr Blackwood glanced in my direction to be sure that I wasn't going to go off. I smiled at him instead. These people were going to pay heavily for trying me. They wanted it to look like I was the problematic person when, in fact, they refused to do the right thing. It wasn't every time that one would engage such people. "My bad. I didn't know that you were so invested in my father's business; trust me, I would not have spoken to you in that manner." I pretended. My stepmother knew that I was only
