Chapter 4: Are you out of your mind?

Jasmine's POV.

Just when I thought I had escaped my parents, I received a big shock when I got home. I opened the door of my apartment and voila, they're here! "Just when we thought you've done your worse by disobeying all of our orders you-" "disobeying all your orders? You've literally pushed and controlled me all my life and just because I refused to allow you dictate my choice of career suddenly I've disobeyed all your orders? mom seriously?" Is she playing with me?

"You even had the nerve to pour champagne on Mrs. Dolores, do you know what that has cost I and your father?" Hold up, I may I've forgotten to mention that teensy little detail, but hey it was a mistake okay, and I apologized to the woman but no she had to tattletale everything to my mom "it was an accident, I didn't mean-" "you're an Accident, we should never have had you, you've been diagnosed with a rare illness even before you were born, I should I've listened to Karen and we should have flushed you!" Dad bellowed and my heart dropped I'm an accident? I felt like crying my heart out but I stayed surprisingly calm "and now you're insulting Mrs. Bryan, falsely charging up an innocent group of ladies in becoming someone like you and you're buying a maid? Are you out of your senses?" Su Mei cowered behind me "hey, it's okay just go outside. I'll meet you outside" I whispered to her "okay" I turned back to my parents and stared at them

"it isn't me, for so many years I've tried to please you thinking I'm at fault but when aunt Emily died, I realized it isn't my fault. You just want to be in control, you want to be the lord over our lives, you want us to obey your every word without an opinion of our own isn't it? Is that not why Aunt Emily died? You kept pushing her, forcing her to do things against her will, you took control of her life and she was not able to refuse you. You arranged a marriage alliance for her and she begged you, we begged -" my voice faltered "she didn't want to go, and you didn't care, you married her off to the young master of the Enriques and he beat her to death. What kind of mother marries her daughter to a man who has been charged several times for abuse and molestation? But you gave her away as long as you were able to sign a deal that would improve the family reputation.

That's all you care about, how to maintain the family name, I mean what kind of person cares for the family reputation but doesn't care about those in the family?

I don't care if you want to admit it or not but you killed my sister and I'll never forgive you for that." I expected them to look guilty or perhaps realized what they've done but I think I should've known better. "Look young lady, I won't stand here and watch you insult I and your mother -" "I'm also not willing to stand here talking to you, that's why I'm making this decision, I'm travelling to London with Su Mei" mom chuckled "you wouldn't dare" "watch me" I went upstairs to grab my bags and the next minute, I was ready to leave.

"If you walk out that door we'll -" "disown me? go ahead I don't know how it benefited me when you *owned* me. Good bye guys, I won't say I'll miss you" With that, I walked out of the door leaving them there standing in the middle of the room huffing and puffing.
