Revenge On The Scumbags

*************************************

Rosalie and Tyler sat next to each other with Alex by their side as they enjoyed the party. Different guest came to greet them and congratulate them. Some did so honestly, while others did it just because they thought it was necessary.

“Rosalie..” Rosalie heard someone calling her and turned to see Jasmine standing in front of her with a huge smile on her face.

She stood up from her seat and ran to hug her.

“I know it’s been just a week but I miss you so musch.” Rosalie said tightening the hug.

“Me too. How have you been??” Jasmine asked as they pulled out from their tight embrace.

“Great. I’ve been doing great.” Rosalie answered cheerfully.

“That’s good to know. So, where’s my godson?” She asked acting like she didn’t see him seating beside Tyler.

“I’m right here aunty.” He said with his tine voice as he ran towards Jasmine’s open arms.

“Oh my God. You’ve gotten more heavier than the last time I saw you. What has your mother been feeding you??” She teased lifting him up.

“Food..” Alex answered gleefully.

“This must be your son.” The quiet Carl who been watching decided to speak up. His question was directed to Tyler.

“Obviously. Can’t you see he has my looks??” Tyler asked, his eyes shining with happiness and pride.

“Well, I think he got his features from his beautiful mother.” Carl said honestly making Tyler frown. Rosalie smiled.

She turned to him and said;

“You must be Carl. I’m….”

“Rosalie, I know. My brother and Jasmine couldn’t stop talking about you.” He said.

“Really??” She asked taking a quick glance at Tyler who gave her a smile in return.

“Yeah. You’re really beautiful in reality.” He complimented making a geniuine smile appear on her face.

“Thank you.” She gushed.

“Congratulations again for accepting to get married to my dick headed brother. I just hope you won’t regret it.” He said.

“Why would she regret it?” Tyler asked with a deep frown on his face.

“Would you agree to get married to yourself if you were in her shoes. You have to admit that you act like someone with no emotions.” Carl said.

“I don’t.” Tyler defended.

“Well, you were acting like someone who is bipolar when we first met. One time you’re nice and the other, you’re someone different.” Rosalie said.

“You see?? My point exactly.” Carl uttered.

“But he’s better now. He treats me and our son fine.” Rosalie continued taking a small glance at Tyler.

“You see???” Tyler said imitating Carls words.

“Well, I just wish you guys would enjoy your marriage.” Carl said in defeat.

“Oh, we will.” Tyler said with a proud smile on his face.

“Rosalie.” Rosalie turned to see Grandma Patricia walking towards them.

“Who are these people?” She asked motioning towards Jasmine and Carl.

“Good evening madam, I’m Jasmine Rosalie’s best friend.” Jasmine introduced.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“The Jasmine, Co founder of R&J company??” She aaked her eyes shinning brightly.

“Yes madam.” Jasmine answered looking at Rosalie in confusion.

“Wow. I’ve heard a lot about you from Rosalie. She said you’ve been by her side for the past five years. I’m grateful on her behalf for taking care of her.” Grandma Patricia said.

“You don’t need to be. Rosalie has been a great friend to me. I’m glad to always be by her side.” Jasmine answered respectfully.

“Good.”

“And who’s this fine young man??” She asked turning to stare at Carl.

“Uhm Grandma, he’s my younger brother, Carl.” Tyler answered.

“I figured. He looks a lot like you.” Grandma Patricia said.

“I do??” Carl ask taking side glances at Tyler.

“Yes. You both are handsome. Yoyr mother must be very happy to have two gorgeous boys.” She said.

“I guess.”

“Tyler, where are your parents? I’d love to see them.” Grandma Patricia asked.

“They are on their way. They would be here any time soon.” Tyler said taking a quick glance at his wrist watch.

“Okay. Let me know when they arrive.” She said.

“Will do.” Tyler answered

“So are you guys enjoying the party?” She asked.

“Yes.” Rosalie answered.

“Okay. I’ll leave you guys now. Come see me if there’s anything wrong.” Grandma Patricia said and left.

“With the few minutes we’ve spent together, I can tell that she’s nice.” Jasmine said as she watched her leave.

“Yeah…” Rosalie drawled as she heard gasps coming from the entrance.

“Dad..” She heard Tyler say and turned to look towards the direction he was facing.

There, she saw Mrs. Humphrey and a middle aged man who looked like an older version of Tyler. He had a neutral look as he walked towards them.

“Rosalie.” Mrs. Humphrey called and she bowed respectfully.

“Good evening ma’am, sir.” She greeted.

Mrs. Humphrey answered her greettings cheerfully while the middle aged man standing beside her grunted in response.

“Tyler..” He called.

“Dad..” Tyler answered and they started a staring contest between themselves. No one wanted to back down.

It seemed like both father and son didn’t have a good relationship amongst themselves. When the uncomfortable silence was becoming too unbearable for her, Rosalie decided to step in but before she could, she heard a loud thud followed by screams.

He head whipped to the direction of the noise and she found herself walking to the place. Her eyes widended in shock when she saw the scene.

She screamed at the top and crouched next to her unconscious grandma who was covered in a pool of her own blood.
