erfectluyTrigger warning, sorry these last two chapters have been sort of dark.
Jasmines POV
I lay poolside and allow my mind to wander, feeling the sun warm my skin as the cool breeze blows through my hair. It has been three months since it all went down, Tiara betrayed my trust, and I kicked my father out of the house so he can be with all his whores. I get weekly updates from my brother, and it seems like he is doing an okay job. As for school, I have a tutor who makes sure I am up to date on what I should know. Dance classes are virtual but one-way viewing, so when I go back, I'm set for the rest of the year.
"Ms. Williams, your car is ready whenever you are to return you to your home," Gerald said as he cleans up the dishes from breakfast. I get up off my chair and put my clothes back on. On my way to the front door, I hear footsteps coming towards me when I turn, and I see Sasha.
"Mom, where are you going, I don't want you to leave I'm gonna miss you way too much." I pick her up and give her the tightest hug ever. I kiss her forehead and place her back on to the floor. "mommy, I want to go with you. I don't want to stay here. Plus my birthday is in two weeks, am I going to have to spend it all alone?" she asked. I could see her heartbreak in her eyes, and it made my break too.
"Hey, pretty girl, no crying. I promise I will bring you home when the time is right. Now is just not the time honestly, grandma and grandpa had a terrible fight. But we will all be here for your birthday. Till then, who is my pretty little ballerina?" Hope returns to her eyes with every word said. Reassuring her that she is loved and that mommy will always love her is my only mission in life, but I have to get my family out of the game so she can be safe and live a healthy life. With these final words, I smother my little girl in kisses and get into the car. Time to face my reality with the strategy of the boss ass bitch I genuinely am.
*Flashback*
"Goodnight, dad. Goodnight, everyone." I state as my father speaks to some strange man that is eyeing me as if I were a piece of candy. I knew what it meant when my father had people like him over. It was going to be a bad night. I grab my brother's hand and guide him into his room, getting him ready for bed. After tucking him in and turning on his nightlight, I make my way to my room, but I knew what would possibly be waiting for me in there. As I slowly open the door there, he was hair in a stupid ponytail, beard that needs a good trim, and oh that smirk that made me cry on the inside every time.
"Where have you been sexy, I have been waiting for you," he says while unbuckling his pants. I knew what he wanted, but tonight he was not going to get it. I am ready for this abuse to be over. As I turn towards my door at the age of 14, I can feel the tear my face.
"Nothing shall happen tonight; I want you out because I will not allow you to harm my child or me," I state I can feel the fear in my throat. He sits there staring at me. I can only imagine the thoughts going through his head, the anger in his eyes says it all.
"You stupid whore, you are with a child that is not mine. Who else have you been sleep.," he states, anger filling me up now.
"Whore??!!? Sleep with, and I didn't even want you. You fucking pig, You forced yourself upon me, and when I spoke up, everyone took your word over mine. Well, shit is about to fucking change." I reach into my dresser door. I pull our my pistole that my father got me for my birthday. "I am going to end this abuse now. The minute you are gone, I can start to move on. I can also grow this business to where it truly belongs." I state as I see the fear now in his eyes. I pull the trigger and watch his now lifeless body crash on the floor.
the door swings open "JAS!! JAS!!"
*flashback over*
My heart is beating a million miles a minute as I look up at my brother. No words need to be exchanged. He understood what I was going through. We have to leave her a secret. For her safety, my heart can't take losing her, not while I had to fight so much for her. I fix myself and make my way into the building. Leaving all my feelings at the door, as I make my way to the elevator, all eyes are on me. Oh, how I hate when people are not doing their jobs, "If you like the view, feel free to take a photo, then get back to work while you still have a job." As I finish this statement the elevator door opens and I make my way up. I press the button to the 16th floor. This is going to be fun.
As the door opens I see everyone freeze, it's not how I left it but nothing that can't be fixed. "Get back to work, I want manager evaluations on my desk by the end of the day. Someone is getting fired today." I state. Everyone gets back to work, I make my way to my desk and take a seat. Tiara walks into the room. "I could have sworn I fired your ass. So please explain why you are standing in front of me." I question
"Well your brother hired me because he didn't fully understand how you worked here. He told me I could keep my job and when you got back I could work for him." She explains looking at her feet.
"That is not needed, my brother has an assistant already who does her job perfectly and I have your replacement. I found her while on vacation. We don't allow narcs to keep their jobs. So please clear out your desk and leave or security will show you out. " I state with anger and disgust laced in every word. With my last word, she makes her way out of my office and I turn my attention to the papers on my desk. Today the school has a meeting with me, then i have a new client today. It is going to be one long day.
