JENNY POV
“I wish you were my mother.”
The words that Leo spoke last weekend kept going in my head for millions. I never thought such a thing could touch my heart. I keep asking if all this is true? Of course the answer is wrong, but I can't stop this right now.
Last weekend was an amazing weekend. Everything seems to fall into place. I went shopping with Irene, took all her trust for me. Then take Leo out to play. I want them to feel that their mother is not a good mother. I'm glad my plan seems to be working. Some even exceeded expectations. But some things are also disturbing.
After Daniel told me everything about how bad Ketrin and Sean were, he avoided me. Even I don't know his plan, whether he'll take custody of Leo or not. Leo really bothered me. I was determined to be cruel without mercy. But the 4-year-old didn't understand anything, he didn't even know his real father. His mother and father cheated on him. I think I should be a little compassionate to him.
Today I asked Ruby for a leave of absence, my head felt full. I pretended to be sick, he insisted on taking care of me, but I reasoned that Lucas was looking after me. Right, I'm also very upset at Lucas who until now hasn't even spoken to me about his pain. How could he be so strong. I hate anyone who hurts her.
I thought about all Daniel said. I should be happy, with all that reality. Wouldn't it be easier to destroy everything. Daniel, Sean, Ketrin, Ruby's gonna throw them all out of their lives. That's what I expected, there's no one on Ruby's side. Until he felt broken and lonely. But I want to protect Leo, that little boy has to get a decent family.
While thinking about everything, I was suddenly startled by the sound of the door being hit how many times loudly. It's obviously impossible for Lucas or Ruby. I go ahead and open the door. Surprised to see my mother with her red face and slightly messy appearance.
“For what you came to si ..” a hard slap stopped my sentence. I held my sore cheek. My tears suddenly piled up.
“Basic brat, do not know in profit,” my mother pushed me to get into the apartment, closed the door. He hit me again. I couldn't fight it because I was so surprised. Reminds me of 9 years ago when she tortured me because I complained that her young husband had raped me.
“I was very sure from the beginning, you are a teaser. You must have tempted my husband first to have him fuck you and now you are trying to kill him by putting my husband in jail,” I was dragged all the way to the bathroom with him pulling my hair.
“Please let go of this sick mom, I don't understand what you're saying,” my voice breaks, I'm so afraid no one can help me. I hugged his leg begging him to stop watering me and hit me.
“If until my husband completely rots in prison, I will kill you. You useless child,” kicked my back until I fell face down.
“Stop mom ..., this hurts. I don't understand what you're saying,” I'm in pain, my whole body, my soul, my heart. I hope he kills me, I'm tired.
“Listen,” mother pulled my hair until my face looked up to face her. “Quick contact your male jal*ng to immediately withdraw his claim. I'm sure you used your body to seduce him and drain his treasure. Prostitution policy*r small. I'm ashamed to have given birth to you.” He kicked me in the leg before leaving me covered in wounds.
The bodily wound would disappear after treating it, but he had added to my inner wound that would never heal. I was in pain, I wanted to die, I could no longer bear the pain of my soul. My head was dizzy, and slowly my vision blurred.
...****************...
I opened my eyes slowly, my head and my whole body were very sick. Someone was holding my hand tightly.
“Jen, Jenny ..., you're aware darling,” it's Ruby's voice. I looked to the side. He sat down anxiously while gripping my hand.
“How? What are you feeling? Does it hurt,” I was unable to answer, my mind reawakened. I remember how my mother tortured me for the umpteenth time and I remember all her hateful swearing.
“Hey don't be afraid, there I am,” Ruby wiped my tears that soaked my cheeks. I looked to the side, behind Ruby. I wish there was Lucas. I want Lucas. I want him to hug me.
“Who are you looking for?” Ruby looked back. “You're looking for Lucas?” I just nodded in response. “I called him yesterday afternoon, he took a flight from London. He'll be right up.” Ruby stroked my hand trying to calm me down. He kept talking and asking, but I really didn't want to talk to anyone but Lucas.
I fell asleep exhausted from crying so much
...****************...
Lucas cried after seeing his brother's wound. She was sleeping with Ruby beside her.
“How is it?” Lucas walked over, his voice weak.
Ruby immediately stood up and invited Lucas to stand next to Jenny.
“He was asleep because he was crying a lot. Since then, he did not want to talk, he kept calling
your name.” Ruby watched Lucas cry silently.
“ I found him in the bathroom with a fainting state. I intend to bring him food. He's on leave because he's sick, but he's lying. He said you were looking after him, it turns out you are abroad. Who did this to him? You must know, right?” Ruby patted Lucas' shoulder which was shaking from crying.
“I'm so grateful you've contacted me right away. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you. At the right time maybe Jenny will tell you.” Ruby nodded in understanding.
“Sorry, but can you leave us both? There's a lot we need to talk about. You look so exhausted too." Lucas looked at Ruby who looked tired.
“Ya of course. He really needs you right now. I'll go home, please let me know if there's anything,” Ruby picked up the suit put on the sofa.
“Thank you for helping her,” Lucas said before Ruby walked out the door, this was the first time for her to talk to Ruby.
“Ya together. I hope you can calm him down.” Ruby went and closed the door.
Lucas looked at Jenny's face in pain, her cheeks bruised. His hands and feet had wounds and purple bruises. Lucas could guess who did it. He's seen Jenny like this before.
Jenny squirmed, opening her eyes slowly while grimacing in pain.
“Hey you awake? I'm here,” Lucas gently rubbed Jenny's head as she opened the door.
“Lucas?” his voice was hoarse because he cried for too long. His eyes are swollen and red.
“Yes I'm here. You don't need to be afraid.” Lucas hugged Jenny, both crying broke.
“I'm tired, I just want to die. My heart aches, she says shame has given birth to me.” Jenny was crying hysterically in Lucas' arms.
“Do not talk like that. There I am, I will not let you go before you are happy. Sorry .., again I wasn't there when you needed me. It's my fault.” Jenny shook her head. “No this is not your fault, not.”
“Do not be afraid anymore, I will really take care of you. I'm moving into the apartment with you again. I won't let your mother, not even anyone can hurt you again. I'll slap whoever slaps you. I promise.” Lucas cries while hugging Jenny tightly, his heart breaking to see Jenny in pain.
Lucas refrains from asking what really happened and why his mother suddenly hit Jenny. The most important thing right now for him is Jenny's recovery and safety.
