Chapter 60
“where are we going Jasper? We have been driving for almost two hours?” Sharon ask feeling tired already. She isn’t doing anything except sitting down with Tia asleep in arm.
“Be patient” he said. Patient, patient, that is the same word he has been repeating over and over again.
“For long am I going to be patient? You are making me regret my decision of coming with you” she said
” Patient is a virtue” he said.” A virtue I don’t want to have right now” she replied
” You should have it by know, it will help this behavior of yours” he said
“What behavior?” She ask but Jasper was unable to answer her when the car stopped.
” We are here!” He announced. “I told you to be patient” he said and one of his guard rushed to his side to help him get into his wheelchair.
“What is the place?” Sharon asked with a puzzled look as she observe the place.
“This is where we are coming” he said. “Let’s get back into the car, I am sure you are joking” she said with a nervous chuckle
” I am not, this is the place” he said looking serious. “Jasper Madon! This place is the perfect definition of the middle of nowhere” she freaked
” I am sure you don’t want to wake the baby” he said calmly
Sharon stared at the sleeping baby in the carrier and took a deep breath. He is right she definitely don’t want to wake the baby. That is the last thing she wants.
“And this place is not the middle of nowhere, there is a house here” he pointed at the only building which looks pretty old too.
“I don’t like it here, let’s go home” she whined. “No wifey we are already here, there’s no going back” he said wheeling away.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
” You don’t plan on leaving me out here right?” She asked and he turned to face her.
” The ball is in your court, you can stay out here or follow me” he said and wheeled away.
” I am going to make you pay for this” she threaten as she followed him.
” I will wait for it, just in case you don’t know we will be having our honeymoon here” he said and he could feel his body burning with her hard glares
” Don’t look at me like that, I might evaporate” he said. ” That will be cool, I will go back home the moment you do” she said
” And Jimmy’s words will come through, your will attend the wedding all alone” he said they entered the house.
” Just evaporate after the wedding” she said and he smile before turning to one of his guard.
“Where are they?” He inquired. ” In the first room” he answered and Jasper went in the direction.
People are here? How can Jasper be so cruel to keep human beings in this godforsaken place.
The door opened and they walked in, well except Jasper who is on a wheelchair.
There are two people in the room, they looked more like ghost. There are brusies on their body, blood on their clothes and to top it all they look dirty, the room was literally smelling like a corpse was kept there.
“Hi in-laws” Jasper said and Sharon frowned. Is she jealous again? Why is he calling these people in-law? Are they Amber’s parents?
Why will Jasper treat them like this? He is cruel. Sharon was still making things up when Jasper countined.
“You guys don’t even deserve to be call anyone in-law, you are animal in human skin, raise your heads” he commanded and they obeyed
“Da.. Mr and Mrs Winston, Jasper is really a man of his word, look at them. I really can’t believe they are looking like a ghost right now” Sharon was so lost in thought that she didn’t hear Jasper question.
“Babe!” He tap her. “You were saying?” She ask
“Say hi to them or they are beyond recognition?” He asked
” Before anything, I don’t like it here, it stinks and I don’t want my baby to get infection, I am sure you don’t want that too” she pouted as she said those words in the sweetest voice she can.
“My wife doesn’t like it here and come to think of it, you eat and sleep here” he shook his head in feighn pity. ” Guys bring them to the living room” he said and turned his wheelchair around while Sharon followed him.
Mr and Mrs Winston were kneeling in front of Jasper and Sharon, they hands weren’t tied.
“Are you comfortable here? Or you want them to have a quick bath? I don’t want you or our baby to feel uncomfortable” he said with that last word with sincere concern.
Sharon blushed at his words but she suddenly remembered that they are just putting on an act to oppress the couple.
” Thanks hubby, but it’s okay, the air isn’t that polluted as it was in there” she said with a sly smile.
” So let’s start questioning, they should be ready to say the truth” he said. ” Or you guys aren’t ready?” He asked and they shook their head sideways.
” Use words, they didn’t cut your tongue did they?” He asked
” No… No sir” they answered and Jasper smile I’m satisfaction, this is exactly what he wants to see in them. “FEAR”
That is what they instilled in his fiancee or should I say wife, either way. He wants them to feel ten times of the pain she went through.
“Wifey I am handling them over to you” he said and Sharon smirk as she move closer to them.
” Don’t move too close they could have turn into blood sucking creatures… what are they called again…. Vampires! I don’t want them to hurt you” he said
” They won’t, they won’t dare to lay their hands on me again” she said, either confidence. ” Will you hurt me?” She ask and they shake their head negativily.
She has determined not to belittle herself anymore. She has gone through enough in their hands and she is done letting them hurt her.
Maybe is she was bold enough to stand up for herself earlier, they would have stopped but who would have imagined the fact that they are not her parents.
“Aunt… Uncle” she called. “That is what you are to me right? I really can’t believe it’s you guys, you look really….. different” she concluded
” Do you like what I did to them?” Jasper ask and Sharon turned to him. ” I would have but you are really cruel, look at them… They must be in so much pain” she fieghn pity.
Jasper almost believe her acting but when he saw the look in her eyes, he knew she was acting.
“Don’t you have something to say to my wife?” He asked
They raised their heads immediately and started apologizing. “We are sorry for everything we did…. We had no idea of what came over us… We should not have treated you the way we did… Please forgive us” Mr Winston apologized
” I am really sorry Sharon for everything I did to you, I should have treated you like a daughter, you have done nothing to deserve the cruel treatment we gave you…. Please find a place in your heart to forgive us” she apologized too
Sharon stared at them as tears threaten to fall from her eyes. Their apologies would have touched her heart but it was not sincere.
But they are only apologising because Jasper tortured them. If he hadn’t they will still be the old arrogant couple.
“Sharon please say something” Mr Winston pleaded. ” What do you want me to say?” She inquired
“Scold us! Say hurtful things to us just like we did to you! Hit us! Make us regret the day we started treating you wrongly” he tried
” What will that make me?” She ask, “what will it make me?” She repeated
“We will be the same, I will be heartless just like you are. I don’t want to be like you, I don’t want that. We are different and I want that face to remain. I am not like you and your kids” she said as a tears successfully left her eyes.
She reached for her bag as she adjust Tia, she took the invitation card and gently put it in front of them.
“You are invited to my wedding” she said as she stood up straight and pat Tia who reacted to the move.
“Are you saying we should let them go?” Jasper ask. ” For them to attend our wedding they will have to be free” he added
” I guess we have to let them go” she said, “Let’s go home” she added and he signal to his boys to leave the door open once they are gone.
They understood him and bowed in response.
