Chapter 194
Nicol
I knew it wasn’t my place to intervene and my head might be bitten off but I couldn’t take her back to that shelter not after I know she has family that would look after her and give her the support she needed. I swallowed before I said. “Sir I know this is none of my business ….” “You damn right it’s none of your business.” He told me. It was Olivia that jumped in “Jonathan, please listen to Nicol she brought our daughter home.” Olivia looked at me. “Continue.” “Like I said it’s none of my business but I really think Jasmine needs her family’s support right now. I didn’t want to leave her at the shelter again; it’s not a place for anyone especially not if you have family that can support you.” Jonathan looked at me then at Olivia and lastly, he looked at Jasmine. “Tell me everything.” He said to Jasmine. Jonathan actually walked towards us and went to sit on the opposite seat that made him look more approachable. “Dad I can’t.” I touched her hand, showing her I’m there for her. “Jasmine for God’s sake tell us everything I want to know why a billionaires girlfriend took such an interest in you. Did she know who you are and now she’s here for a hand out for her charity?” He asked Jasmine. I took in a deep breath I needed to compose myself and not tell this guy to fuck right off because come on that is not why I’m here, I’m trying to do a good thing here. “No dad she didn’t know who I am, she only found out my surname when Jeffrey said our surname.” “Then why did she take an interest in you?” Her dad asked but this time a little softer. “Fine but you are not going to interrupt me dad, you’ll listen until I’m done.” “Okay my child.” Olivia said. “Mom, I need dad to say he won’t interrupt me.” “Fine I won’t interrupt you.”
Jasmine took a deep breath before she started to talk. “My husband and I…” That was weird her not saying his name. Her parent’s probable didn’t want to hear it that is why the guard at the gate also didn’t use his name. “had a fight a few days ago.” Oh my God she was walking with those broken ribs for a few days, the rape kit might also not help but at least we have photo’s. “It was a very bad fight, he started to hit me and then when I fell, he kicked me.” She stood up and lifted her shirt showing her mom and dad her ribs. “Oh my God.” Was the only thing that came out of her father’s mouth, her mother on the other hand started to cry. “I waited for him to sleep then I snuck out and went to the nearest women shelter I knew they keep the men out and he wouldn’t find me there, I was sure if I came here, you will send me away.” “Jasmine no.” Olivia started. “Mom let me finish.” “Today we got news that there is a clinic at Bellevue Hospital that helps women, so a few of us went there that is where I met Nicol. And she helped me and convinced me to come back home.” I was waiting for her to tell them her husband raped her but she didn’t, it was her father that said. “Jasmine I’m not born yesterday, what did he do to you that was so terrible that Nicol here brought you home.” Jasmine looked at me and the tears started to roll down her cheeks again. “Should I tell them?” I asked her. She shook her head, “No I should.” She tried to get herself under control and then she said. “We fought a lot since the wedding, things changed very fast, I know I should have listened to you dad.” “What did he do?” her dad asked again. “He raped me.” “NOOOOOO” Her mom screamed. It was her dad that got up and came to sit next to Jasmine and pulled her into his arms, I went to sit next to Olivia holding her. “I’m glad you home.” He said to Jasmine. “You are?” she asked so surprised. “Yes angel, I don’t want you to live in a shelter we are here for you. I was angry the day you married him because I knew he was a fucking useless mother fucker but it didn’t mean you can’t come back home angel, this is your home and will always be, all I said was that he wasn’t welcome in my house but now that part is done. Mom and I will help you to get over this, we will get the doctor to come over and take photos off everything and examine you. We are going to put that mother fucker in jail.” Her dad said with no way to argue with him.
But Jasmine did. “I don’t know if I want the police involved dad.” Her dad pulled away and looked at her. “Seriously, are you thinking of going back to him?” he asked in total shock. “No, I’ll never go back to him, never I don’t want another husband I don’t want a boyfriend I’m done with men but I don’t want to ruin his life.” Before her dad could say something, I interrupted. “Sorry Mr. Lanester I just want to inform you, we did take photos at the clinic and I did do a rape kit, everything is there when she decides to open a case against him.” It was Olivia that thank me “Thank you so much and thank you for bringing my child home.” She hugged me which was a shock then she called out to “Jeffrey brings us some tea please.” Oh, that wouldn’t have gone of good with Nicolas. “It’s my pleasure Olivia.” “I want those photos and rape kit.” Jonathan said. “I can’t give it to you Sir.” “Then I want you to give it to our doctor.” “That I can do.” “Jasmine, we need to talk about the next steps.” Her dad said. “Dad please can I go to my room, take a shower and just sleep, I haven’t slept for over a week.” That shocked her dad. “When last did you eat?” Her mom asked same thing I was wondering. “Just as long.” “My God child.” Her mom got up and walked straight to the kitchen I presumed. I heard her talking to Jeffrey again. Jonathan’s phone started to ring. “Excuse me.” He said as he got up.
