Chapter 34: Chapter 34 I Was Threatened!!
"What’s going on, Lorraine??" Jasmine panicked, Nicole threw her a look as she walked out of the kitchen with an apple in her hand.
Nicole sat on the couch, watching Jasmine pace around, talking to Lorraine, Nicole made a mental note to ask how come the two of them were still in contact after so many years of him disappearing on her.
With a strained voice, Lorraine bitterly complained. More like whining," I was kidnapped and beaten by your insane husband who—"
Jasmine cut his words the minute he called Kingsley ’insane’. "Point of correction, Lorraine, my husband is not insane!" Jasmine stood close to the window, glaring outside.
Lorraine grumbled inaudibly before continuing. "Well, he had men beat me up and after that, he threatened me to leave the country in three days else he would ruin me. Jasmine, please help me."
Jasmine was confused at that point, she didn’t understand when and how that happened. "I am a little confused here, Kingsley kidnapped you, assigned men to beat you up, and then tell you to leave the country else he will deal with you??"
Her statement made Nicole pause in her movements as she raised her eyes to look at Jasmine whose back was turned to her.
’Is Jasmine’s husband a psycho??’ Nicole curiously wondered if that wasn’t too much on the poor Lorraine.
Lorraine became even more upset. "Do not rephrase the statement, he did not ’tell’ me to leave the country, he THREATENED me to leave the country and also, he did not say he was going to ’Deal’ with me if I refused, he promised to RUIN me. Use my exact words." Lorraine sighed at the end, totally lost.
Jasmine hummed, her brows creasing as her lips formed into a thin line, for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
Kingsley couldn’t be this insensitive, right?? He wouldn’t do this type of thing to a man.
"What did you do?? How did you involve yourself with Kingsley?" Jasmine probed further but her questions sounded ridiculous to Lorraine.
"Are you seriously asking me that?? Do you think I’d want to associate myself with that husband of yours?? Hell no." Lorraine refuted with a sarcastic edge in his voice.
Jasmine rubbed her forehead, perplexed by this message from Lorraine. "Then, why would he just take you into his custody and beat you up out of the blue??"
Lorraine became agitated as he explained. "He said for me to run for my life if I see you, according to him, I should disappear like a ghost if you call my name, or else,I’ll be dancing with the devil..." Lorraine gritted his teeth. "I almost peed my pants when he stared down at me with those manipulative eyes."
After his words, Jasmine couldn’t say anything. She lost her words as she stood there dumbstruck. It took her a few more minutes to register all he had just said.
The first thing that came to her head was,’ Is Kingsley insecure?? Jealous?’
It took Jasmine time to think about Kingsley’s action but it still didn’t make sense to her. Why would he tell Lorraine to stay away from her??
’Now, he is crossing the line.’ Jasmine’s face tightened, she didn’t appreciate Kingsley interfering in her affairs this way. It was her business and Lorraine was her business, not his!
"Hello? Are you there??" Lorraine called out, pulling Jasmine out of her sea of thoughts.
"Oh, yeah yeah. Look, I’m sorry,I’ll get back to you when I talk with him about this because honestly, I’m so shocked that he would do such a thing to you." Jasmine persuaded. Her eyes dimmed slowly, she couldn’t wait to call Kingsley and rebuke him for this action he carried out without her consent.
Yes, she was still mad at Lorraine for ditching her years ago but she never told Kingsley to get some sort of revenge on her behalf on Lorraine!
"Please, I do not want any more troubles with him or have him come over to my apartment to cut off my limps." Lorraine pleaded. "Just tell him to stay away from me, I do not want trouble, I just came here to work."
Jasmine hummed before ending the call. She ran her hand through her long hair before scratching, trying to suppress her annoyance.
Nicole chewed on her apple while asking. "What Lorraine is that?? Same Lorraine we both know?"
Jasmine sighed before making a 160-degree turn to face Nicole, she sluggishly nodded as she walked towards the nearest couch and dumped herself there. "Yeah, same Lorraine."
Nicole raised her left brow. "He suddenly came back and you both are already in talking terms?? I thought you were mad at him for ditching you when you both were still at the peak of your love."
Jasmine slumped her shoulder. "Well, my dad invited him to work in the company, I know it wasn’t that simple so I asked Lorraine and he told me that my dad wants him to Snatch me away from Kingsley."
"That’s a bold move from your father’s end." Nicole complimented. "Maybe that riled Mr Elm so he beat Lorraine up that badly." She grimaced before laughing. "And I think I like that part."
Jasmine rolled her eyes. "Just like you never liked Jack, you also don’t like Lorraine."
"I always know the jerks." Nicole praised narcissistically. Taking another bite from her apple again, she questioned. "What are you going to do about Mr Elm now?"
Jasmine swings her phone before deciding. "I’m gonna give him a call right away." With that, Jasmine got off the couch and matched outside the house to call Kingsley in private.
She stood close to the garden at the left corner of the house, she waited for him to answer the call which he did almost immediately, as if he was waiting for her call the whole day.
"Madam Elm." Kingsley’s teasing voice came from the other end, the way he dragged his words made Jasmine frown. That was so unlike his usual calm demeanor.
"Are you alright?" Jasmine asked, forgetting her major purpose of calling. She had planned to immediately start to scold him, rant about how he shouldn’t have touched Lorraine, she was prepared to yell at him if care wasn’t taken.
Kingsley chuckled instead before drawing out again. "Yeah...I am alright." He replied, his eyes moving around the various new packs of drugs his doctor recommended, they were all sealed in transparent bags.
He took some pills barely minutes ago when he was feeling upset and now, he could feel his head almost falling off, his heart ripping apart and breathing was becoming difficult.
