Chapter 87: PROVING SLAP
Ethan got a call so he had to leave. He pecked Erika on the cheek before excusing himself.
Immediately Ethan was out of sight, Jasmine dropped her act and grabbed Erika by the arm, hard.
"What are you doing here?" She questioned, glaring at Erika hard.
Erika was amused by the change of attitude but she had expected it anyway. She stared at Jasmine’s hand that was holding hers and with a swift turning of her wrist, she was the one holding Jasmine’s arm instead. Jasmine opened her eyes widely in surprise at the change of event.
"I came here to see how you were doing. You are sick right?" Erika asked with a smile. "But you see i don’t understand why you want to see Ethan, he is not a doctor. If you are really sick, you go to a doctor right?"
Jasmine glared at Erika like she was a pest. "You are in my way and I will make sure to get rid of you. I saw Ethan first....."
"....but he is mine now. It’s not my fault that you are not as beautiful as I am or maybe as sensible as i am", Erika cut her off. "You said you were sick but you are talking normally oh", Erika gasped with a hand over her mouth. "You were pretending so that you could lure Ethan here? How pathetic! No wonder he is not in love with you, you are too pathetic for his liking", Erika rubbed the salt in her wound as she squeezed Jasmine’s arm before letting her go.
Jasmine grimaced in pain before glaring at Erika with even more hatred.
"Stop glaring at me like that, your eyeballs might pop out".
"You won’t be happy for long, Ethan will be mine soon", Jasmine declared in determination with a confident smile.
"I would love to see you try. You know, you have been saying those words for sometime now and i am getting tired of hearing it over and over again. Can’t you find another line? It’s getting boring", Erika questioned with a bored face. "But I would advice you not to do anything stupid, Ethan and I have gotten much more closer and if you dare try to harm me, you won’t only be spending a year in jail", Erika warned.
"You have no right to threaten my daughter like that", Mr Davis interrupted. He had come to see if everything was going well but he doubted it was since Erika was here with Ethan and she wouldn’t let him come close to Jasmine no matter what.
"Am not threatening your daughter, Mr Davis", she corrected. "Am simply warning her and I think you should do the same as well. You wouldn’t like it if your daughter spends the rest of her life in jail now would you?" She questioned staring at Mr Davis with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.
Mr Davis was creeped out with the way she smiled but he didn’t let it show. "Jasmine was made for Ethan and I will make sure that the both of them get married no matter what happens, do you understand me Miss Walters?" He questioned her.
"I really don’t", Erika genuinely replied while shaking her head. She didn’t understand why these people were trying to force themselves on someone who has already rejected them uncountable times.
"Listen here you bitch", Jasmine faced Erika. "I am giving you the chance to leave Ethan alone one last time or else what I did to you before will be compared so little to what am going to do to you next", Jasmine threatened but Erika wasn’t faced at all. She was not scared nor was she shocked, absolutely nothing. No expression at all, her face was totally plain.
"And If I do not leave him, what would you do?" Erika questioned back walking towards Jasmine on a slow pace and then finally towering her. Jasmine was immediately intimidated by Erika’s glare directed towards her. This was the first time she was seeing Erika’s glare and it suffocated her just like Ethan’s.
"Then don’t blame us if you are harmed", Mr Davis replied wanting to use his walking stick to hit Erika but she was fast enough to dodge the hit and because Erika was standing in front of Jasmine, the stick hit Jasmine’s arm with the same amount of force that Mr Davis applied.
"AHH!!!" Jasmine cried out in pain. She glared at Erika like she was the one who had hit her.
"Don’t glare at me, glare at your father. He was the one who hit you", Erika said. Ethan rushed inside when he heard the loud female scream.
He first checked on Erika making sure she was alright. "Don’t worry, am okay", she assured him.
Jasmine stared at the way Ethan was checking if Erika was alright with red eyes. She was the one who had been hurt but still Ethan didn’t even bother ask her anything. She looked at the bruise on her arm that the walking stick had inflicted and an idea popped up in her head.
She gathered some tears in her eyes and cried in pain.
"Ethan, look at what Erika did to me. She hit me with a stick", she accused Erika who was amused her words. "I was only talking with her and she grabbed my dad’s walking stick and hit me on my arm", she added as she shed more and more tears.
Erika scoffed. "If I really hit you with that stick, believe me when I say that I won’t hit you on your arm. I would hit you on your head because you certainly have a loose screw there and hopefully the hit will help tighten it".
"You shut up", Mr Davis tried to shut Erika up. He was on board with Jasmine’s plan of making Erika take the blame and making her look bad in front of Ethan.
"How come you are with the stick, Mr Davis?" Ethan questioned with an eyebrow raised up.
Mr Davis looked at the walking stick in hands. He turned speechless for a moment before he replied. "I was able to snatch the stick from Erika because she tried to hit Jasmine again", he bluntly replied.
"Is that so?" Erika asked becoming more amused by what the father-daughter duo were spouting. She walked up to Jasmine and landed a huge slap on her cheek.
"PAK!!!"
Mr Davis gasped in shock while Jasmine held her numb cheek that had turned bright red with a shocked expression as well.
