Revenge On The Scumbags

****

She was cut off by the sound of her phone ringing. She checked to see who the caller was and noticed it was an unknown caller. She picked the call.

“Rosalie.” The person at the other end said and she recognized the owner of the voice immediately.

She scoffed and was about to end the call but stopped immediately when she heard what the person said.

“Rosalie, you need to return back to J city now.”

She scoffed angrily. They want me back home? After all these years? He must be joking.

“What nonsense are you spitting out from your mouth Mr. Tucker?” She asked angrily.

“Mr. Tucker? Isn’t that her father? Why is she addressing him like that?” Tyler thought within himself as he watched her seething angrily.

He knew better than to interfere in their conversation because it seemed like they aren’t in good terms with each other.

“Mr. Tucker? It isn’t dad anymore?” Her father Robert asked. A hint of mockery was laced in his voice.

“You never acted like my father so why should I address you as one?” She asked back ignoring the fact that Tyler was still there and listening to her conversation.

“Wow. You’ve really grown some wings since the last time I met you. Is your bastard still alive?” He asked making Rosalie more vexed.

“Yes, my son is still alive. And he’s life is way better than mine. If you have nothing important to say, I’m hanging up.”

“Wait.” He breathed out.

“What is it? She asked angrily.

“You need to come back home.” Robert said.

“What home? If I could recall clearly, you threw me out and said I wasn’t your daughter, so why do you want me back.” She asked in mockery.

“Don’t get way over your head. I never said I wanted you back, if possible, I never want to see you again.” Rosalie’s heart tightened at his cruel words.

If someone was listening to their conversation, they wouldn’t think that they’re father and daughter.

“So, why are you asking me to come back?” She asked.

“It’s because of your grand mother. She has been asking about you and I can’t lie to her anymore.” He breathed out.

“Why can’t you just tell her the truth that you disowned me.” Rosalie asked.

“I wish I could. She loves you dearly which is something I can’t understand. There’s nothing good about you. So, if there’s a small place in your heart that has compassion, come back home and see you grand mother.” He said in spite.

“What if I say no?” She asked stubbornly.

“I can just tell her that you are a whore and you ran away from home to be with a gigolo. Your name would be ruined and that’s a win win for me. If I were you, I would cut these nonsense and come home. You have till tomorrow morning to make a decision.” He answered and ended the call without giving her time to speak.

Rosalie dropped the phone on the bed stand and sat shakily on the bed. She bowed her head and sighed deeply. Tyler walked towards her and crouched in front of her.

“Are you okay?” He asked in concern.

He raised her head up a little and Tyler could see her red eyes. She looked like she was about to cry. He didn’t really hear what her father was saying but judging from her words and reaction, it wasn’t something good.

She nodded her head and sniffed.

“I’m okay.” She said but Tyler didn’t believe her.

“You know you can always talk to me.” He said.

She sighed deeply and answered;Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“I just want to go home.”

“Okay. I’ll take you there.” He said.

“There’s no need. I’ll just take a taxi.” She answered.

“I said I’ll drive you back.” He insisted leaving no room for arguement.

“Okay.” She answered. She didn’t have any strength to argue with him.

He took his car keys from the drawer near the bed.

“Let’s go.” He said and she followed him to the garage. They entered the car and he zoomed off.

All through the ride, Rosalie was deep in thought. Tyler would take side glances at her occasionally but he knew better than to emgage her in a conversation.

She seemed like she needed time and space to gather her thoughts and he readily gave her.

They got to her house and the gate was opened for them by the securities when they noticed she was inside the car.

She came out of the car and saw Jasmine walking towards her.

“Finally. You have a lot to explain to me.” Jasmine said when she got to where Rosalie was.

“I know.” Rosalie answered letting out a sad smile.

Jasmine saw that she was in a foul mood so she asked in concern;

“What’s wrong? Dod something bad happen?”

“I’ll explain later. Thank you for bringing me home.” She said to Tyler who was still in the car. Jasmine looked towards the car and gasped in shock when she noticed it was Tyler.

“You’re welcome. Also, don’t forget about our date tomorrow.” He said and drove off.

“What the hell was that? What date is he talking about? Are ypu two seeing each other already?” She asked in one breath.

“One at a time Jasmine. Let’s go inside, I’ll explain everything to you.” Rosalie answered and walked inside with Jasmine trailing closely behind her.

“We’re inside now. Start talking. First, what were you doing with Tyler?” Jasmine asked.

Rosalie sighed tiredly and explained everything that had happened between her and Tyler to her.

“You don’t mean it. He really threatened you to go out with him?” Jasmine asked in surprise.

“Yes.” Rosalie answered.

“Wow. That guy is crazy really crazy. After what happened at the party that night, I thought he was genuinely into you. But now, I don’t know what to think anymore. Is that what’s making you sad?” She asked in concern.

“No. Not that.” Rosalie answered.

“What is it then?” Jasmine asked.

Rosalie explained her conversation with her father to Jasmine.

“Seriously?? He even threatened you too?” Jasmine asked angrily.

“Yeah.”

“So, what is your decision?” Jasmine asked.

“I’m going back to J city.”
