chapter 34 fragile ego

Derek tightened his hold on Jude. No matter how naughty Derek is one warning from his mother is all what it takes to make him behave.

"Sorry Mama"

Derek said with his best puppy tone melting away all the reporters heart.

"Well! No direct question for my son. Resume please"

Jude said as the reporters asked few things

Like what she likes,what she doesn't.

"Mrs Hamada. Is being a mother to a lovely boy is what prevents you from resuming your love life"

Jude blood boiled in anger.

What a vicious attack coated with sweet words.

He was basically saying that Derek is a hurdle for her and her love life.

Jude took a deep breath trying to calm the rage inside her.

"Are you asking what hardships a mother goes through?"

Jude tried to change the topic of question. She basically gave this bald reporter a chance to repent but he was too stupid to do so

"No Mrs Hamada i asked is you being a single mother doesn't allow you to date"

That's it!

"Tell me does being bald stop you from living?"

Jude reply was a direct attack to the fragile ego of the reporter as he burst out yelling

"How dare she say that and how are those two connected?"

Looks like Jude stepped on his soft spot.

"then tell me how does being a mother stops me from dating?"

The reporter was lost of words.

Jude had it all....

Looks, brain, body, money everything.

who wouldn't want to date her

in fact a young ceo of a well known company proposed her in a party.

oh Boy that remained in headlines for quiet a while.

Well apart from Derek running to Jude and the bald reporter the press conference was a success.

A lot people gained respect for Jude. She wasn't one of those people who would try to dodge the question. she would answer it honestly and brutally.

she was about to get up and wanted to ask Derek to get off but he was fast asleep.

Chuckling at his cute behavior she picked him too and started leaving.

"You really are savage" Lorah said at which Jude rolled her eyes

Being honest means you are Savage now a days?

Instead of going to her office Jude went to her car and asked driver to take them home

Today was hectic. She wanted to close her eyes and find some peace but her phone started ringing.

She took out her phone. the caller id said Jackass.

What does he want?thought Jude

Picking up the phone she said "Shoot and keep it short"

"Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! is that how you talk to me?"

Well by the way he talks it seemed like he just called to annoy her so she cut off the call and blocked the number.

Leaning her head back she again closed her eyes when her the phone started ringing.

She looked but it wasn't hers but the drivers.

He picked up the call and was shocked

"Mam it's for you" he handed the phone to Jude

"For me?"

Jude said putting the phone on her ear just to hear the same person yelling whom she just blocked

"Dare to block my number and i swear i would crash at your home for the next two months"

"What do you want?" Jude asked annoyed. How does he always manage to get her drivers number? She has made her driver change his number like 6 times.

"You are going to the graduation ceremony?"

"Why do you ask?"

"We all want to come with you"

"Jack i would be fine. You guys don't need to come with me"

Jude said

"Come on. how can your brother and parents don't come to your graduation?"

Yes Jack was Jude's older brother by 3 years.

"it's not like i don't want you guys there it's just......ughh it would attract too much spot light"

"Did my baby sister never told her classmates who she really is?" Jack asked in an annoyed tone.

"Maybe" Just as she said that Jack started yelling.

"How can you do that? are we a disgrace you wanna hide forever?"

Jack was furious. he loves his sister but he hates how introverted she is in contrast to his extroverted personality.

"Jack i just don't..."

before Jude could complete her sentence Jack cut her off basically mimicking her voice

"I just don't like the spot light just because i want to stay out of public attention because i wanna live my shitty introverted life....FOR FUCK SAKE JUDE!"

Looks like he won't stop scolding her so she just hung the call and blocked the number before handing it back to the driver.

"Mam do i need to change my number?"

Asked the driver.

"No need. he would find it anyway"

The rest of the ride was silent and peaceful.

It looked like Jude could finally have some quiet time but then he reached her home and found Jack standing at the doorway with a smirk on his face

The house door was open and he was wearing his pjs meaning he had gotten inside

getting off the car Jude very calmly walked to Derek's room completely ignoring jack

Once she had tucked Derek in the blankets she got out and went to kitchen where Jack already was.

taking off her heels she walked up to the cooking pans cupboard but found none in there

"I hid them all because i know what you would do" Jack smiled while taking a bite of the last chocolate bar Jude had hid from Derek to eat herself.

"Well since you hid all the pans i will have to use a knife"

She picked up the biggest knife as Jack's eyes widened in fear.

"Uhhhh sister you wouldn't hurt your brother like that" The chocolate bar dropped from his hand as he started trembling.

He knows his sister temper and what can she do if you step on her bottom lines.

"I would have spared you but you ate my favorite chocolate bar"

With that she started running after him.

Jack had turned to run but turned back to grab the fallen chocolate bar then proceeded to run for his life.

"Leave the chocolate for me you jackass" jude yelled
