Call Me Mummy, Dear Ex: The Betrayed Fiancee Strikes Back Seventy-Nine
Jasmine's POV. I had never anticipated to get home in my life like today. Why did I feel like something was wrong and it was going to change the course of things? I was someone who wanted things to go according to plan in my head and didn't want any alteration of any kind. It would mess up the plans I had in mind and I would not be able to bounce back from it just quite immediately."Do you plan on getting a divorce? Or is there something you would like to tell me?" I demanded from him as he continued to drive. Mr Blackwood didn't reply to me, and that even heightened my curiosity. "I hate it when people do not tell me what I want to hear. Can we just talk about it and not drag things? We are going to talk about it anyway so why do we need a special place for this discussion? I don't do well with suspense." A small smile appeared on his face as he intentionally drew out his answer. "I remember that night, you were in such a hurry that one would think you had done it before." He sai

Rain's POV. The only one who came to mind was Jake yet I wasn't going to hurt my son just because of something trivial. I wanted to have a word with him so that we could finalize things and also know what else to do. I placed a call to him. He had to apologize for treating her the way he did. Jasmine rolled on the bed as soon as she heard my shuffling. One of the things I loved about her was her ability to be able to be observant of her surroundings. "Where are you going?" She inquired from me as soon as she saw me getting up. "Do you have a meeting tonight?" She inquired, but I refused to respond because that was only going to compound her curiosity, and I knew how it was going to play out. With a slight shake of my head, I replied. "No, this is not something serious. I just need to sort out some things in my study. I could order some food for you because you are quite famished." I pointed out. She wasn't anorexic, but I had also studied her to see that whenever she was trouble

Jasmine's POV. Imagine my surprise the minute I stepped out of the house the next morning and was assaulted by flashes of camera in my very eyes. Although I was pissed, I knew that they were only doing their jobs. This didn't make sense though. They could have just gone along to ensure that they wrote me a letter and I would have been prepared for it. What if I had not dressed well? Was this how they were going to capture my very essence in a bedraggled state? "Take those cameras away from me before I break them. You have absolutely no right to feel me or take shots of me except if I permit you. I could track down your office and report to your manager. Let's see if she was the one who told you to go ahead with stuff like this. I am pretty sure that no one would allow you to do this to anybody, so please do not let me get unnecessarily angry." I snapped at them, my eyes blazing.They put their cameras down which did well for my anxiety level because I didn't think about any of them

Jake's POV. I glanced at the papers in front of me and chuckled nervously. My father had been behaving weirdly to me in the past few weeks which I refused to call him out on. I hope he was not planning to will everything he had to a woman who was out there to suck him dry? How did he expect this new law to be implemented in a place where I knew my left from my right and was already planning to take over? The sound of irritating heels filtered into my ears, and at that moment, I had never been more angry. "Gwen, can you please raise your legs so that we do not have to visit the doctor simply because you want to take our ears out? Why don't you love some peace?" I inquired from her. Gwen's face came into my line of vision, and I saw her cheeks getting red; whether out of anger or not, I didn't care. "Aren't you going to ask why I am pissed? I saw the news circulating that your father is planning to step down. Do you know what that means for us? That simply means that he might be co

Jasmine's POV.I squinted at my computer in front of me as I tried to figure out why there were some discrepancies in the account statements. Funnily enough, the accountant never acted like it was an important case, and thus, I felt like everything was okay, not even having a clue that a lot was wrong. He knew that I would never let that slide. I placed a call immediately to the accountant. He had to explain to me in clear terms why he didn't think it was necessary to inform me about the latest development and instead allowed me to figure it out on my own. What if I had slept with my eyes completely shut, thinking that I had backup without knowing that I was solely on my own? I waited for a while before deciding the next step. His voice shook and I smiled at the stupidity. "I'm sorry about that. I forgot. That was one of the reasons I didn't contact you immediately. I'm sorry. Just found out today, ma'am." He kept on apologizing but I knew he was nothing but a liar. If he wanted

Blackwood's POV. Something was wrong when Jasmine walked in, and I desperately wanted to know what caused her pain. She wasn't someone who took oppositions to heart except if she was looking for a solution to it and now I was a bit confused. "Hey... How was your day?" I asked the minute she dropped her bag with a soft sigh. She looked like she shouldered the weight of the whole world and I was a bit freaked out. Jasmine offered me a small smile probably as a way of getting me off her back but she didn't realize that I had come to understand her more than she thought "I'm fine. I only found some discrepancies at work today, and I think I might be firing someone. That man was trying to play on my intelligence. Can you imagine that? Sometimes I wonder what these people take us for. Do they think that we do not have brains like them?" She complained but I read her attitude. She was not bothered about the accounts per se. She would fire whoever she wanted without even seeking my opini

Jasmine's POV. I felt boneless after the sex marathon last night. It was deep bone curling and I could feel my inside screaming hallelujah. It had been a long time since they had received such lovely oiling, and I felt their pain deep inside my soul. "How are you doing?" Mr. Blackwood inquired afterward before jumping on his feet. "I should get you something to clean up." He said before walking away.I was in a Zen mode, unwilling to think of anything besides how I could just lay and forget every problem that I had. The thoughts of Donovans threats flickered into my mind but I knocked them out instantly. I wanted to enjoy the post-coitus. I had read that it was good for the body somewhere. This man's strength was unrivaled. I scrolled through my phone, waiting to see if there were any messages that I needed to attend to instantly, but luckily, there weren't. I shut down my phone to get away from the world. If I kept on watching the news to see how much stocks had risen, there wa

Jasmine's POV. "So you just hop on the stirrup, that's how you have some balance. Because the horse can pick up your emotions and translate them into whatever it wants. We don't want you falling to the ground because it could be painful as a first-timer." Mr Blackwood explained before trying to lift me. "Are you coming with me on the horse?" I asked him, hoping that he was going to say yes and I would finally be free"Do you want me to come on the horse with you?" Shocked that I wanted any form of physical contact. I didn't blame him because I had always wanted to stay far away from him. "Nevermind. I just wanted to have some assurance that I wasn't going to fall off. It's nothing serious. Are you scared?" I chuckled, but he didn't find it funny, which complicated things further. I refused to speak; instead, I yanked on the rope, and the horse started galloping. My heart pounded in tandem with the gallops. What if I fell over and broke my spine? It was a majestic horse. Possible s

Call Me Mummy, Dear Ex: The Betrayed Fiancee Strikes Back Epilogue
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
