Revenge On The Scumbags

***

“I’m going back to J city.” Rosalie said.

“Wait? What?” What do you mean you’re going back to J city??” Jasmine asked in utter shock.

“I meant every word I said. I can’t keep hiding from them when it should be the other way round. I’m going back to show them that I’m doing better than they thought I would.” Rosalie said.

“You have a very good reason. A great one at that but don’t you think that your decision is too rushed. What if something bad happens? What if they’re plotting something against you? With the way you explained your family matters to me, it seems like they’re instigating something against you. I’d advice you not to go back.” Jasmine said worriedly.

“I’ve already made up my mind Jas. I can’t keep hiding like I’m in the wrong. I’ll show them the big mistake they made five years ago when they threw me out.” Rosalie said confidently.

“If you say so. I know you won’t listen to what I’m saying even though it’s the truth. I just hope you won’t regret your action.” Jasmine said.

“Me too. There’s not much time. I need to go book our flight.” Rosalie said and brought out her phone.

“Wait, don’t tell me you’re leaving now and what do you mean by our flight?” Jasmine asked in surprise.

“I’m leaving tomorrow morning and Alex is coming with me.” She answered while scrolling through her phone.

“That soon. I thought you’ll be leaving maybe next month. What about the launching of the new Jewelry. It’s taking place this Friday. We’ve already signed the contract and you need to be there as the CEO.” Jasmine said.

“You can stay and represent me.” Rosalie answered.

“But I’m not the CEO. The investors won’t be happy.” Jasmine tried to convince her.

“I’ll talk to him. He’ll understand.” Rosalie said referring to Tyler.

“I almost forgot. What about the date you have with him tomorrow night? What are you going to tell him?” Jasmine asked.

“I’ll let him know I’m travelling tomorrow before I get on the plane.” She answered.

“I thought he said if you stood him up, you’ll face the consequences?” Jasmine asked trying to reason with her.

“That’s one of the reason I’m taking Alex with me. He won’t be be able to do anything if Alex is with me.” Rosalie answered with her eyes still glued to her phone.

“What about me? Whaf if he does something to me just to spite you?” Jasmine asked.

“I’m sure he won’t. If you’re still scared, you can just take some guatds with you if you want to go out.” Rosalie suggested.

“But they are not one hundred percent save. What if something goes wrong?” Jasmine asked.

“I’m sure nothing will. So stop actong like a scaredy cat and come help me pack my belongings.” Rosalie said standing up.

“Have you booked your flight already?” Jasmine asked.

“Yes. I’ll be leaving around 7 am tomorrow morning.” Rosalie answered and walked upstairs to her room.

“I just hope you don’t regret your actions later.” Jasmine mumbled and followed her.

THE NEXT MORNING

AT THE AIRPORT

Jasmine, Rosalie and Alex sat patiently at the lobby as they waited for the plane heading to J city.

“Mummy, what are we going to do there?” Alex asked looking up at Rosalie.

“We are going to see your Great grand mother. Aren’t you happy?” She asked.

“I am. I have not seen any of your families before. Thank you.” He answered.

“Have you talked to Tyler already?” Jasmine asked.

“Yes. I sent him a text.” Rosalie answered holding up her phone.

“What did he say?” She asked again.

“He hasn’t replied yet. He left me on read.” Rosalie answered checking to see if he texted back.

“Just hope he took the message well. If not…” Jasmine trailed off.

“If he doesn’t take it well, that’s his business because by the time he wants to take action, I’ll be long gone.” Rosalie said.

“You know you still have to come back sooner or later?” Jasmine asked.

“I know. But he would have forgotten about me by that time.” Rosalie said.

“I hope so. So when do you plan to come back?” Jasmine asked staring at Rosalie.

“Two weeks should be enough. You know Alex still have to go to school.” Rosalie answered.

“Okay. When I’m done with the launching, I’ll come meet you.” Jasmine said.

“Okay. I’ll be expecting you.” Rosalie said and stood up when it was their time.

“Come on baby. It’s time for us to leave.” Rosalie said and arranged their luggages.

“I wish you a safe flight. Call me when you arrive.” Jasmine said.

“Okay. Bye.” Rosalie said and gave her a hug.

“Bye Aunt Jasmine.” Alex waved.

“Bye.” Jasmine said as she watched their departing figures.

AT TYLER’S VILLA

Tyler stared at his phone with a huge frown on his face. He had just woken up and was greeted by Rosalie’s text.

“So she really stood me up?” He thought angrily.

“Wow, she’s the first lady that didn’t fall for your charms.” He heard and turned to see Carl, his younger brother peeping into his phone.

He quickly turned off his phone to stop him from seeing more.

“I haven’t showed her all my charm yet.” He answered trying to defend himself.

“Really? Then why didn’t she agree to go on that date with you? I thought all girls would die to be in that spot?” Carl asked mockingly.

“Didn’t you read what she wrote. She said she’s travelling back home for an emergency.” Tyler said.

“And you believe that? What if it’s just a lie so she wouldn’t go on that date with you?” Carl asked.

“She wouldn’t lie about something like that.” Tyler said recalling the phone call she had with her father the day before.

“So what are you going to do? Follow her?” Carl asked in sarcasm.

“Well it isn’t a bad idea.” Tyler said and brought out his phone.

“Wait, what are you doing?” Carl asked in surprise.

“What else? I’m following her to J city.”
