Chapter 24
***
Jasmine took a taxi and headed to her house. On the way, she thought about Carl and smiled happily. She really hoped to meet him again someday.
She got home in no time and went inside after answering the grettings of the workers outside. There, she met with the worried face of Alex and the workers.
They hadn’t noticed her presence yet so she walked closer and said;
“What’s wrong?? What’s with the glum faces??” She asked.
Alex turned towards her and smiled. He hugged her happily making her surprised.
“What is going on??” She wondered.
Alex’s nanny, Pamela sighed happily when she saw her. Jasmine stared at her in confusion not understanding the situation one bit.
“Thank God you’re home. We thought something had happened to you and mom.” Alex said pulling out of the hug.
“Why would you think that? Where’s your mother??” She asked using her eyes to search around.
“She didn’t come home last night. Same with you so we have been trying to call the both of you but no one answered.” Pamela said.
“Sorry, my phone was switched off.” Jasmine answered.
“Where’s mom? Did she come with you?” Alex asked staring inquisitively at Jasmine with his big brown eyes.
“No. She left earlier last night. Maybe she went to meet someone.” She said trying not to agitate the little boy.
“She would have called if she wasn’t coming home. Maybe had happened to her.” Alex said with fear showing all over his face.
“Calm down. Nothing happened to her. I’m sure her phone is dead just like mine so you don’t need to worry.” Jasmine said.
“But…..”
“Hey!! Young man, aren’t you supposed to be ready for school by this time??” Jasmine asked cutting Alex off.
“I’m not going until I see my mom.” He answered stubbornly.
Jasmine sighed tiredly.
“I’m supposed to be resting on my bed now. Why is this boy so difficult??” She muttered silently.
“Look Alex, do you think your mother would be happy if she comes back now and meets you here instead of school??” Jasmine asked.
Alex shaked his heads sideways.
“No right?? So do her and yourself a favour and go get ready for school.” Jasmine said.
Alex hesitated for a while before he finally agreed. Nanny Pamela took him to his room and prepared him for school. After that, he left.
Jasmine sighed and rubbed her temples. She took out another phone of hers and dailed Rosalie’s number but she didn’t pick. She did it again but as usual, the call headed straight to voicemail.
She groaned in frustration.
“Pick up your phone Rosa.” She said.
She did it a few more times and it was still the same result. She was slowly starting to get agitated herself.
“Where the hell are you Rosa?? Could it be that something had really happened to her?” She asked herself worriedly.
“No, I shouldn’t think like that. If she doesn’t show up before five this evening, I’ll just file a missing person case.” She resolved.
“Please show up Rosalie.” She prayed silently and continued dailing her number.

MEANWHILE
AT TYLER’S VILLA
“Why is she still unconscious Mark. Isn’t she supposed to be awake now.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes sir. I don’t know why she’s still unconscious.”
“Take this and leave.”
“Thank you so much sir.”
Rosalie could here those voices clearly. One was familiar while the other wasn’t. She thought it was a dream but there wasn’t any image of the people talking. She felt someone touch her face so she forced herself to wake up.
She squinted her eyes trying to adjust to the brightness of the room. When she succeeded in doing that, she roamed her eyes around trying to find out who was making those statements.
Her big eyes landed on the pair of familiar eyes. Realization dawned on her and she jumped off the queen sized bed immediately.
“What the hell Tyler!!” Rosalie cussed angrily.
“You’re finally awake. I thought you’ll never wake up.” Tyler answered leisurely with his hands on his pants pockets.
She check to see if she was still claded and sighed happily when she saw herself still in her outfit. She turned to glare at Tyler.
“What am I doing here??” She asked angrily.
“I wanted to see you so I brought you here.” Tyler answered.
“Did you really have to kidnap me to achieve that aim?” She asked still staring at him with her death stare.
“If I had asked you calmly to follow me to my home, would you have listened?” He asked her.
“Obviously not. Why would I follow a soon to be married man to his home?” She looking at him like he’s crazy.
Tyler groaned inwardly.
“That stupid bitch!!” He cussed silently refering to Janice.
“Were you cussing at me?” Rosalie said making him lift his head to stare at her.
“What?? No. What makes you think that??” He asked.
“You just said something now and my guess is you were cussing at me.”
Tyler stared at Rosalie in amusement.
“I wasn’t okay? Also, Janice is not my fiancee. I never dated nor propose to her. So, please don’t refer to her as my fiancee.” Tyler said.
“You don’t need to explain because I don’t care. I want to go home.” Rosalie said.
“You can’t do that yet baby. You haven’t even done what I brought you here to do.” He said smiling.
“Which is?” She asked with a frown on her face.
She obviously isn’t enjoying what was going on while Tyler happiness written all over his face.
“Swimming.” He said smiling.
