Call Me Mummy, Dear Ex: The Betrayed Fiancee Strikes Back/Lyra's Pen

Jasmine's POVThe room was plunged into silence but everyone understood what was happening at the same time yet they dared not get involved in the conversation. I watched Lucas fidget on his seat and I enjoyed the scenario. He was not expecting such a question because it was taking him time to find an answer. It was a rhetorical question so we all knew the answer. "I would suggest that a person took whatever decision they wanted to as long as they have had it in mind for a long time." He answered smartly. Sometimes some people still shocked us even if we didn't want to believe that they could do something of that nature. "I think that we have a winner. In that case, I wanted to announce that there might be a little step down in your activities, it is just to facilitate competition and industry and see what other people have to offer. A lot of people have told me that you might not be open to the idea, but I thought of it. Why else would my son want to go against me? He knows that i

Jasmine's POV. I heard my mother gasp in shock and pairs of eyes were fixated on me. I played the role of being shocked at the fact that he could consider me as good enough to rule his empire. "Tell me it's a lie," I exclaimed while laughing inward. My parents could snap my neck if they had the opportunity. According to them, I was taking over what their child could have had."What the hell is going on? Why would you make Jasmine CEO? It's not as though they are not more capable hands that can do this work. I wouldn't even be pissed off if it wasn't her. This is just to spite me, isn't it?" Jake flared up angrily.I relished the contemptuous look on my lovely sister's face. She was probably going to break a leg with this information. I wasn't interested anyway so they could go to hell with whatever they decided to do. "And that is where you get it wrong. I asked the question right in the beginning, are you going to sabotage the company on the line of familiarity or do the right thi

Author's POV. Jake's feet scrunched against the floor aggressively as he walked out. Gwen kept calling on him to stop, but he was pissed beyond the border. His father was deliberately trying to make a mess out of his work and that was one of the reasons he was working with Donovan. "Don't call me." He snapped as he continued walking far. The rain had stopped, so it would be easier to get a cab that would take him out of this place. He had thought that he would be the one to deliver the shocking news to them but his father was faster. How that man managed to get that information was still beyond him. His father had probably known that something was up and decided to end his association with the company. Now that he was no longer CEO, he would have to tender everything that was happening on his end to Jasmine. This was his nightmare. His phone began to ring and he heaved a sigh, hoping that it wasn't Donovan. That man had been on his neck for a very long time and the rest of us to c

Blackwood's POV. As much as he wanted to throw his son away, he knew that there was every possibility for him to get newer information that he would never have gotten if he had not been patient with Jake."So tell me, what was the information that you couldn't wait to deliver yet stopped halfway? I didn't peg you as a coward but sometimes I know that circumstances could make one do what they think they are incapable of." I began as I took a swig of my beer.Jasmine was triggered and I didn't believe her at all. She had every right to fall into PTSD whenever she saw them. I wasn't going to try and act all holy, telling her to forgive the people who caused her pain. Jake took a long pause before looking at me. "I have never seen you in this manner. You are deliberately trying to ruin the image of this company. I want to believe that it is not anyone's doing but of your volition. This leads me to wonder why. I know that you have been a principled person from the beginning and this is o

Jasmine's POV.The next day, we were on our way to the meeting ground. I didn't know anywhere around the area but I think that Mr. Blackwood was familiar with the area because he was driving so fast that one would almost think that the hounds of hell were after him. It made me laugh now that I think about it, but I refused to engage him in the conversation. Since he was unable to send his son away, it was my duty to maintain decorum and act nonchalantly towards him. He had to find a way to send Jake away. When I meant sending Jake away, I meant forever. I had a bit of fear that one of these days he might gang up with his son and try to work against her. I had been toying with the thought for a while now. Yes, I hoped that it didn't come to pass. I was only trying to make sure that I got proper revenge. I wouldn't want to experience one of those forms of betrayal especially the second time. I wouldn't be able to survive it. He sneaked a glance at me but I refused to look in his dire

Jasmine's POV. One of the other ways to realize that there might have been a problem somewhere was also to try and read between the lines. Many people were ready to bamboozle you into thinking that you were the weird one but I was already waiting for them either way. "Why was there a slight difference in the way things are run over here?" He replied instead and I was a bit tired of having to defend a lot of things. "I have no words. I simply asked a question, why is that taking too hard to answer? I feel like there is more to what you're telling me. Let's see what happened all the way though. I was hoping that everything would get normalized as soon as we get the chance to." I spoke. He was trying to make me sound crazy but that wasn't going to happen because I knew what I was doing. I knew how hard I was trying to make this work so if was for him to acknowledge the fact that I had probably done something that warranted explanation, then he has to say it Mr. Blackwood ran his han

Blackwood's POV. I watched her nod then realized that she had a very good heart and also a valid point. Since she had been betrayed, she needed every form of reassurance that I wasn't going to do the same thing. It was just the way it was supposed to be. I felt like she understood me already but now I got to know that she might also still have fears which are very much valid. We arrived right in front of the building. It was a very weird kind of meeting because we were not going to use a conventional building where everyone already knows what is happening. It was going to work if we were able to make sure that we got our facts right. "I will handle the presentations, you just need to sit and look pretty but you will give the final verdict." I informed her, I realized that she didn't do well under undue pressure, so I wanted her to be as convenient as possible."I understand what you mean and I am really down for it. Do you have any problems with everything that has been happening?"

Jasmine's POV.Getting right into the Business of the day, I adjusted my suit and walked in at the same pace with Mr Blackwood. He was practically showing what it meant to be a powerful CEO. He looked unburdened most of the time but I knew that it was a sham. He was making plans underground and that is why he was never caught unaware."This is one of the most ridiculous things that anyone could have said to me. How would you suggest a turnaround of over 1% and expect me to take your offer of 0.5%?" He began the meeting angrily.The other men involved were looking at him as they wanted to bring up their strong reasons. It was evidence from every chart that they were trying to play smart. "Looking at the statistics, after I have invested in the production phase, you mean to tell me that I will be reaping only 0.5%? That is absolute trash and I will not stand for that." Mr Blackwood spoke.The men gazed at one another before returning their focus on him. Mr Blackwood pretended to be unaw

Jasmine's pov. I did not understand why I was suddenly feeling guilty for speaking to him in that way. Was he expecting that I would say that I was in love with him or I was doing it out of love? If that was his thoughts then it was probably a lie. I only wanted to save my head from any form of problem that could arise later. It was just the best way for me, I would not get involved in any situation that would make me lose my credibility. We continued in silence but I was tired at a point because he was basically ignoring me. I couldn't be the one running after him to tell him to talk to me, he had to do it on his own accord if not it was basically useless. "Do you realize that there might be something you are telling me? What if you explained clearly and we don't continue in this situation? I just want us to understand what exactly the problem is and face it fair and square. We don't have to be chummy to have a pleasant time together. If you are waiting for me to profess some sor

Blackwood's POV. She was playing with fire and was going to get burnt, I was only acting cool because I was trying to tame my desires for her but she wanted to plant ideas in my head that weren't going to yield something profitable. This was going to be a disaster if I decided to get into it. "Why do I feel like this is a trap? You want to know if I am interested in you but that's a conversation for another day. A driver will be home soon to pick you up. I want you to be as comfortable as you can be, there is nothing wrong with you having a space to yourself and enjoying the whole process. You might meet my son in any of your meetings but it's your disposition that will tell people that you are now the CEO. We are going to have a new inauguration ceremony coupled with Jake celebration so that we can get people aware." I told her. She grinned cheekily at the thought of making my son unhappy. I will still dissect why she was so hellbent and get revenge. If I were her I would have for
