Call Me Mummy, Dear Ex: The Betrayed Fiancee Strikes Back Fifty-Seven
Jasmine's POV. The sound of chuckles woke me up and I looked at the culprit. It was none other than Mr Blackwood stroking my arm tiredly while I tried to keep my eyes open. "What are you doing?" I inquired from him when he kept on looking at me without removing his gaze. "I'm not doing anything, you've been sleeping so much that I almost forgot that you existed." He joked. I refused to answer him because a large yawn tore out of my mouth. "I don't even want to talk about it. Why are you not out of the house yet?" I inquired from him and continued yawning. If he had something to say, he didn't because his smirk said it all. "I wanted to see your face this morning. I told you that by the time I was done with you, you wouldn't be able to walk. Guess who is lying in bed after talking about a lot of emails he has to attend to?" He mocked me and I rolled my eyes at him. Who else was going to make the joke if not him? "You're probably very happy about this result. You should be a

Blackwood's POV. Two weeks later, I had some of my investors coming in from another country so I didn't want to waste more time doing nothing in particular. Jake's calls had been blowing up my phone all in the name of wanting to have a conversation with me. He knew that I was pissed beyond borders so he was trying to rectify the damage he had already done. He decided to announce he had a venture without considering me, why was he now taking it personally and acting like without me, he would not be able to survive? "What do you want, Jake?" "Dad... We are not supposed to be fighting over something that we could just resolve. I know that I should have informed you earlier but I completely forgot about it. It was until I was asked on national TV that I remembered. This was initially for the company but after you removed me from my position I decided to just wing it." He explained. I refused to answer him in a tone that would make him fear. "Jake you should be proud of achievi

Jasmine's POV. I was done resting at home and decided to go into work today. He was definitely not expecting me and that was the main reason I wanted to surprise him. Color me shocked when I arrived that the building and the receptions told me that he was not around. I had thought that he would not be going anywhere and that would make it even more fun, but with what I was seeing right now, I guess I have no choice but to just go right into his office. I saw Jake walking into my office with a small smile on his face and I didn't know how to feel at that moment. I sincerely did not want his troubles and was avoiding him as much as I could. Due to the stress I had faced in the past weeks, he suggested that I take some leave to help recharge my battery which I really appreciated. He had even teased me about the fact that this was the only time I did not argue with him but I wouldn't complain when I desperately needed to rest. This wasn't supposed to be negotiable. "I'm sure that

Jasmine's POV. My return home wasn't too sudden, it was planned carefully as I tried to get everything done once and for all. Mr Blackwood's call was hitting up my phone quarterly and at a point I was already getting fed up with his constant calls. "Mr Black. I am already on my way home. I wasn't able to meet the person anymore. Is there any particular reason for calling me this much?" I snapped at him. I couldn't pick up calls while driving. I have to stay a mile away from a gas station before picking up his calls. There was a little noise in the background which led me to believe that he was somewhere with a lot of people. There was also a whirring sound from his end."Are you at the construction site?" "Kind of... We are involved in different businesses so this is just one of them." He responded cryptically. If he thought that that should suffice and I needed to ask no father questions then I was not the right person for this merger. "I was expecting that you would tell me wha

Jasmine's POV.A small hand wrapped around my waist and I flinched in shock. This was a shock to me because I was not expecting any form of contact especially in a lonely house.I rubbed my face slowly and spotted Mr. Blackwood which made me shocked.He was wearing a three piece suit, adjusting the lapels and spun around, "You like it?" He inquired from me and I found myself nodding accordingly.I was so in love with the mauve color because it complimented his skin tone perfectly and I looked around to stop the fact that there was probably a need for some lovey-dovey from him. He wiggled his eyebrows at me with a small smile on his face. I was perplexed by his unusual excitement. It only told me that something would be happening."You didn't inform me that you will be coming home this early... And why are you so damn excited?" I inquired tentatively, adjusting my position, leaning against the headboard as I watched him for every

Blackwood's POV I walked into the room with a smile on my face and bumped into Jasmine sitting on the edge of the bed with rage in her eyes.Her lips were pursed and that didn't look like it was about to change. I looked around and smiled at her, hoping that she picked up on my signal and decided to finally ease herself from whatever stress she was handling. The only thing that showed that she was present was the way her eyes glanced at me in acknowledgment. Besides that, she didn't even feel my presence. I didn't know how to feel about that. It sends the wrong signal to me but I decided to ignore it and practically try to look at the bigger picture to know what was truly happening. "Is there a problem?" I inquired from her just to be sure of what was happening. She shook her head and I took it upon myself to move closer and see. "Can I ask you a question Mr Blackwood?" She inquired, stopping me from taking a further step towards her. I shrugged because that was understandable.

Jasmine's POV."Are you jealous?" Mr Blackwood asked with a little worry on his face. While I felt my face flaming I didn't want to give him the upper hand. Of course I was going to feel vexed that he was hanging out with another woman and this was not the first time that it was happening. I was bound to feel offended. "Don't I have a right to get angry? Don't tell me you are one of those men who think that anything they do flies just because they are men?" I inquired from him so that I knew what I was doing at the moment. "You have a weird way of doing things. You could just ask me politely who the woman was and I will obviously tell you." He continued but I refused to be brainwashed. This man had a way of getting out of my accusations and making me consider my actions but not anymore. I was ready to talk to him and know my stunts in his life. This was going to help me process things faster. "And from everything you know about me, you conclude that I just want to play with your fe

Jasmine's POV. The morning after love making was always beautiful because Mr Blackwood made it eventful. He didn't make it feel like an agreement, sometimes I wondered if he was just so good at his job or he was straying from the path. “How do you feel?” He inquired, stroking my chin softly, yet giving me ideas that I wouldn't dare repeat. I had come to realize that he was a beast in bed matters so it was better not to awaken him until the time was right. I yawned and placed an arm across my mouth while waiting to look around and see exactly what's happening in the media. “When are you going to introduce me to the jewelry designs?” I inquired from him. He wrinkled his nose and I knew that I was pushing but if we were already exchanging fluids to this extent I didn't see any reason I should be kept in the dark concerning some petty matters. “I have been working on this one but that lady was not able to get the exact design I was going for so I had to change some things.

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

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
