Tuff Love

Chapter 2

Jasmine's POV

I was referred to as the adorable daughter of both successful founders, Garrick and Mia Ques of Ques Fashion and Cars. My childhood days became one of sorrow and heartache when I was capable of perceiving the brutality my dad showed to my mom. The bruises and scars she had after he was finished; the blood whosing from the fresh wounds, her eyes swollen and now is the color of white man when cold. The behaviour of man towards her was cold and to be called her husband she didn't deserve it all. The anger built up when all this was illustrated. I mean the asshole cheated on her and brought home wreckers to reside in our home and he turned on us. He kicked us out of the house and we had nothing but each other.

I recalled the dialogue between my parents that day as if it was yesterday.

"Garrick you can't do this to us, your own family. I have done nothing but support you in all our years of marriage. I have devoted my all to you"

"Woman you have brought nothing to this unison so what exactly do you expect? My God Mia I need excitement in my life, I want to go and come as I want and do as I please. I'm sorry love but you are one whole big complication. Let's just say our fire has lost its flame"

With the little courage left in her she slapped him with all her might and said, "I gave you 14 years of my life cooking and cleaning as well as attending to your needs. Now I have wasted all that on your ass. I signed a prenup to show that I didn't want you for your money and this is how you repay me. You have sow your seed Garrick Ques and will reap it in the future."

We were on our own because mom signed a prenup. She claimed when she got married she was doing it because of her intimate relationship with my father and not for his cash. She said that status didn't really matter because the gravitation to wealth is the root to all evil.

This is what made me furious, it is what made me who I am today. I don't believe in love or that so called sacred bond thingy between man and woman. To me it was just about pleasure, just sex and lust. Once i had that, money and the fact that my ma was cool ain't nothing can bring me down.

That lady made sacrifices for me and I will make sure she is ok from now on.

I left the trap house because Paris, JayJay, Kadi, Mark, Haven, Launa and I were going to hit the club tonight. My crew is full of crazy ass peep. Paris is all bout fashion, JayJay in the latest ride, Kadi the sexologist, Mark the accountant and gym owner, Haven and Lucy are restaurant owners and dancers.
