Marriage to the Destroyer of my Dreams

Episode 20 I Don't Like It

The sun is directly overhead, but the blazing light is blocked by the lush trees that surround a Jungle Resort where Jillian is located. He was not alone, in front of him sat Ethan who had been asking for several weeks to meet him.

Previously Jillian always refused, because the presence of the bodyguards assigned Jeffran always made him uncomfortable. Jillian also fears that the bodyguards, as well as Jeffran, will hurt Ethan. Because Ethan didn't heed Jeffran's threat to keep Jillian away.

But this time, Jillian managed to escape from the supervision of the guards, after pretending to go to the campus toilet once she finished attending college. Though he slipped through the back road and immediately entered the maroon-colored car parked outside the gate, where Ethan was waiting behind his wheel. And without wasting time, Ethan rushed his car to Jungle Resort which takes 1 hour from their campus.

"Jillians.. I'm happy, we can finally talk freely. So much I want to ask. But Jeff's bodyguards always forbid me from approaching you. It's a good thing you invited me to meet, and you were able to escape the watchful eyes of those bodyguards." Ethan sounded very enthusiastic, while Jillian responded with a faint smile.

"Now tell me, how was your marriage to Brother Jeff? Are you happy Jill?" Ethan looks into Jillian's soft-looking net.

"Do you think I would be happy to marry a man I don't love? I don't even like his arrogant attitude." Jillian's answer and lazy look actually pulled the arch at both corners of Ethan's lips. He looked even more excited than before, as if the hope that had been dashed when he heard the marriage of Jillian and Jeffran, suddenly reappeared.

"If you're not happy, why don't you just divorce Jeff's brother?" Ask Ethan.

"If I could, I would've divorced him. But Jeffran won't divorce me until my son is born, and manages to take custody of my son." Jillian's tone sounded ordinary, but Ethan caught clearly the worry on Jillian's face.

"I've guessed that the main reason for your marriage to Jeff's brother is because of the status of Jordan's child in your womb. But I didn't think Jeff's brother was going to take custody of your son after the divorce." Ethan seems very concerned about Jillian's situation, but he is still confused, how to help Jillian.

"You are indeed the biological mother of your child, and legally the one who is most entitled to custody of your own biological child. But Jeff's brother is a CEO of a big company, of course he can do any way to take your son Jill." Jillian nodded in agreement with Ethan.

"That's what I've always feared, brother, I don't want to give up my son. I want to go far away, brother, so Jeffran can't take my son. Can you help me? I really don't know who to ask for help?" Please Jillian.

"But what help is Jill?"

"Can Brother help me, so that I can go abroad? I can't take care of a few things alone, because surely the bodyguards will report all my activities to Jeffran. I may be able to take care of some things that cannot be represented, such as Visa. But of course by looking for opportunities when they're off guard."

"Hmm, are you sure about your decision Jill? Then where are you going?" Ethan asked again to be sure.

"I'm sure Brother. I'm going to Paris and live with my aunt's family. Please help me, Ethan."

"Well, if there's a family you can go to, I'll help you." Ethan's reply instantly made Jillian's heart relieved. A beautiful smile had even replaced Jillian's worried expression that had been plastered since earlier.

It was late afternoon, when Jillian arrived at the apartment. With light steps, Jillian passed through the lounge towards her room. But a voice stopped his steps instantly.

"Jillian, where have you been?" Jillian looked at the source of the voice, where Jeffran was seen sitting with his eyes drawn sharp while folding both hands on his chest.

"Hmm, I'm just looking for some fresh air." Jillian looks a little scared. He did not think that Jeffran who usually came home at night, was already in the apartment.

"Why did you run away from the guards?" Jeffran stood over to Jillian who reflexively rewinded himself a few steps. It provoked a frown on Jeffran's forehead.

"I'm tired of being watched on Jeff. Can't you just leave me unattended? You know for sure that I can't do anything." Pinta Jillian with a clear look. Jeffran slowly eroded the distance, and suddenly wrapped his hands around Jillian's waist. Jillian tried to take off Jeffran's embrace, but Jeffran actually tightened his embrace.

"But you often do things without my permission. I don't like." Jeffran brought his face closer to Jillian's, but Jillian turned her eyes away. Trying to avoid Jeffran's gaze that felt very intimidating.

"Are you going with Ethan?" Jeffran's question again turned Jillian on Jeffran's cold face.

"You have a lot of bodyguards to report whatever I do. Of course you know, where I went and with whom." Jillian did not want to take the risk of lying, she preferred to give a hanging answer. Back to figuring out how far Jeffran knew what he was doing today.

"I don't know where you're going, but I know who you're going with." Jeffran said with a face only a few centimeters away from Jillian's face.

"I told Jill that I don't like you being close to Ethan. But you went with him on purpose. I don't like Jill.. I really don't like it." After saying his annoyance, Jeffran suddenly landed his lips on Jillian's rancid lips. Of course this provoked the anger of Jillian.

Plaque..

A reflex slap landed Jillian on Jeffran's left cheek. Followed by a rough push on Jeffran's body, trying to take off Jeffran's very possessive hold. But Jeffran's embrace was getting stronger, Jillian's former slap seemed to mean nothing to him. Although Jeffran's cheeks look flushed and leave a feeling of heat and soreness.

"Remember, you're my wife, Jill. I really don't like it when mine gets bullied."
