Double Fatal Desire

CHAPTER 4

THE REVENGE WAGON

It was 10pm at night and Jasmine was nowhere to be found at home.

Billionaire Stewart Jones was patiently waiting for his wife to return so he could hear her reasons for staying out at such very odd hours.

"Mrs. Julian, I ask again, where is my wife? You were supposed to keep an eye on her and make sure she is indoors".

"How come I left very early in the day and now she is nowhere to be found?".

"I am short of words sir. I couldn't stop her", said Mrs Julian. "After I gave her the note you dropped, she merely said she had an appointment to go and see her manager and her mother*.

As they were engrossed in conversation, the door opened and Jasmine appeared.

She walked in and was heading straight to her room.

Mr Stewart grabbed her hand and dragged her as she attempted to walk past him.

"Someone has some explanations to do here", Said Mr Stewart. "Where are you coming from at this time of the day?".

"Oh stop this. Can you for once be sane and act gentlemanly?", Jasmine said. "I owe you no explanation on how I spend my day or who I spend my day with for all I care".

"Mrs Julian, please excuse us for now". Mr Stewart gave a nod and paused for a while to watch her walk away.

With his hands still holding Jasmine, Mr Stewart walked fast with her with him as he forcefully took her straight to her room.

As they entered her room, Jasmine grabbed his shirt, jerked at him as she struggled to free herself. Something fell off his breast pocket in the process.

He pushed her away from him, locked the door and seized the keys as he walked out.

"I will no longer condone your excesses in this house. I have told you to desist from going to see your manager several times but you wouldn't listen".

"You will remain indoors here for some days until I deem it fit to let you out. It's high time you understood who is in charge here".

"Open this door Stewart", Jasmine yelled out as she grabbed the door handle trying to force it open.

"You must be out of your mind, you beast. I told you I will make this marriage a living hell for you".

Her yells coming from behind him gradually faded as Mr Stewart went straight to Mrs Julian and gave her the keys.

He instructed her to only open the door to her room when serving her and then lock it again when leaving. And she responded - "okay sir".

Mr Stewart left the house that night and went for his routine meetings with his secret cartel.

Jasmine cried as she sat on her bed thinking of what to do next. Then she saw the card that fell on the floor earlier.

She picked the card, read through the inscriptions and quickly sent a text message to Lewis with those details.

Lewis was still in his hotel room when he got the message from Jasmine.

He knew Mr Stewart Jones was away for his all night meetings and this was the perfect timing for him to execute his plans.

He got up immediately and drove to Hilton Drive where he had arranged for a meeting with a partner he had contracted to execute his agenda.

The information Jasmine forwarded was all they needed to uncover their ploy to lay hands on the missing microchip that hoists all details of Mr Stewart's hidden escapades.

After handing over the contents of the message, he shook hands with them and drove away to see Jasmine that same night.

Meanwhile, Jasmine had called the attention of Mrs Julian to come and serve her. This was all a plot to have her open the door and come into her room.

She had received a call from Lewis informing her that he was on his way to pick her and she should meet him outside her residence at exactly 12 midnight.

"Your meal is here ma'am". Mrs Julian opened the door, came into Jasmine's room and dropped the tray on her table.

She observed Jasmine was all dressed up and changed as if she was heading to a function.

"Are you going out ma'am?", asked Mrs Julian.

"Not really", responded Jasmine. "Can you please get me a hand towel from the bathroom please Mrs Julian?".

As Mrs Julian went into the bathroom to get her the hand towel, Jasmine hurriedly sneaked out of her room and left the house to meet with Lewis outside.

As Lewis saw her, he opened the door of the car, and Jasmine hopped in.

"Right on time. I am glad you made it". Lewis said, as Jasmine sat down looking exhausted.

"There is no way I am going back to that house", said Jasmine. "Can you believe he locked me up and gave the keys to his staff?".

Lewis started the car, looked at her and replied. "Not to worry my love, it's going to end very soon and you will be totally free once again".

As they arrived at Lewis's room at the hotel, they were about to settle down when his phone rang.

"Hello Don, do you have news for me?". Lewis asked as he picked the call.

He listened to the feedback attentively and began to laugh hysterically as he ended the call.

"You are going down very soon Mr Stewart ''. Lewis said on the phone and walked straight to Jasmine.

"Good news Jasmine. The microchip has been found and it has been accessed. All the files and details are intact. I will make arrangements to pick it up tomorrow and we take it up from there"

Jasmine exclaimed. "This is so amazing, what we thought was never going to be possible has been found and unraveled at last".

"You can say that again. This calls for a celebration". Replied Lewis in a joyous mood.

Lewis picked up a bottle of champagne, popped it open and served Jasmine in a glass.

They drank the contents as if it was going to be their very last and celebrated the soon to come downfall of Mr Stewart.

Not too long, they were tipsy and in a state of frenzy.

They confessed their love for each other and assured one another they will be back to their blossoming career once again after Mr Stewart must have been jailed.

The imagination of having Jasmine back to himself very soon and possibly marry her got Lewis excited.

He got carried away, began making advances at Jasmine who also was on top of the world with excitement.

They were both carried away as they celebrated deep into the night. It happened so fast and they fell on each other's arms.

In a moment of intense passion, they kissed, cuddled and became intimate till the early hours of the morning.

Mr Stewart who was far away in his all night meeting with his cartel was not in the know of all that transpired.

Mrs Julian was outsmarted by Jasmine, she once again thwarted their plans and got involved with Lewis, her lover.

The resultant aftermaths of the impacts of these scenarios played out perfectly.

What would happen when Mr Stewart returns from his meeting to find out his wife escaped again?

Will he sack his domestic assistant as he had always done?

What would be the outcome of the intimacy between Jasmine and Lewis. Would she get pregnant?

How will Mrs Thompson cope after hearing the new developments as they unfold?

Is Jasmine and Lewis going to hand over the found microchip to the authorities immediately?

How sweet would this revenge taste as the battles between love, career, pride, betrayal and ego unfolds.
