Married Life's

1.23. The Traitors

Matt massaged his head, has now shown at nine in the morning and his stomach has not touched the food from yesterday at all. The hunger in his stomach can still be endured, but drowsiness makes him very stressed. After yesterday he chose to leave Jessica after what the girl had said, he did not even give the girl to explain. For him, betrayal remains treason. Whatever the reason, Jessica betrayed him. Betraying his love, his trust, his sincerity. Especially with Mike, with his own best friend.

“Decide all work contracts with Villegas Company, after the time has come I do not want to hear a single work contract with him.”

“But sir, Villegas Company could have been-”

“You heard my words earlier Mark?”

“B..Fine Mr.”

Matt threw his phone on his desk. His heart was so sick, so sick. So all this time, the girl he knew named Angelina was Mike? Has Jessica been so smart, or is she so stupid?

His phone rang, and he saw his phone screen. Matt smiled cynically and turned off the call. A call from Mike, for what the traitor called him. To laugh at him? Very funny life now. His heart now really hurt, but it felt like he wanted to laugh, laugh hard at his stupidity all this time. Very very funny.

“*You're home today Matt?”

“No, I'm in the office. What's wrong?”

“I want to go to your house, but because you're not home. Yes already, not so.”

Matt stared at his disconnected phone. Tumben really wanted Mike to come to his house. Yeah, maybe Mike, wants to see you after all this time he's been living in France. But according to him, Mike did change after returning from France. But wait, Mike wants to come to his house. Then Jessica... Matt quickly grabbed his phone and typed a number.

“Arthur, can I send you CCTV at home today?"

“Can, Mr.”

The British man across the phone nodded briefly and tapped at the computer system in front of him. Matt stared at the many screens in front of him. But his eyes focused on a single screen that featured a shiny black car parked in front of his house. Matt can clearly see Mike getting out of the black car, and disappearing behind the main entrance. Didn't Mike say he didn't come to his house because he wasn't home? Matt clenched his hands tightly.

“Mana again? I'm asking for CCTV in the guest room!”

“For living room we do not use CCTV Mr.” Matt exhaled his coarse breath.

“From now on, put all the CCTVs in every corner of the room*!”

Matt hit his office desk hard. The annoyance re-emerged, why was he so stupid? Not realizing everything from the beginning. He should have realized since they were Dinner that night, how jittery Jessica, confidence Mike, should he have realized. He just thought that Jessica wasn't that kind of woman, and he also thought Mike couldn't possibly do that to him.

‘*Matt, can we meet at Shena Restaurant now? I have something to show you, very important.’

Matt exhaled an irritated breath, just as he wanted to eat his lasagna. But he knew Mike really needed it right now. After all, Jessica also did not want to eat with him now, the girl preferred to eat with Angelina. Matt stared at the short message, it seemed like something was wrong here. I don't know why, the feeling is becoming unpleasant right now.

Matt's eyes are round, right in front of him there is Mike and his woman who is kissing friendly. Matt clenched his hands tightly. With a strong blow, he closed the taxi door again. Just now he wanted to go out and approach Mike and Jessica who were seen eating together. But when what they're doing Matt undoes his intentions.

“Go to Boltom Company.”

Matt felt his heart was completely broken. True what he saw earlier, Jessica the wife kissed Mike, his own sidekick. Matt clenched his hands tightly, how long have they had this kind of relationship? In a fit of annoyance, Matt typed someone's number on his phone screen.

“Supervise Mrs Boltom's movements for 24 hours, and check anyone who contacted her lately*!”

Matt stared at the monitor in front of him. In front of it is now a large screen that shows Jessica curled up on a guest mattress. For about three days the girl locked herself in her room. Even Matt hired a housekeeper just to get the girl to eat. It's too much prestige to have told Jessica.

Pissed Matt out of his study, the man picked up some of the food he had cooked. Matt sighed for a while and knocked on the door of the room Jessica was in.

“I don't want to eat Ma'am, please leave me.”

“Quick out now!”

Jessica who was in the room gasped, it was Matt's voice. About two days Matt didn't come home. He thought Matt didn't want to see his face anymore. To be honest, he was so embarrassed to meet Matt. But he had to explain everything to the man, before Matt spoke to both of their parents. With the energy Jessica had, the girl opened the door of the room, and she could see Matt staring at her flatly.

“Finally you go home Matt, I want to explain-”

“Nothing to explain anymore. Now spend your food, at least I don't want to be labeled as a husband who doesn't feed his wife.”

Without an answer, Jessica received a tray containing many Asian foods and a glass of her favorite apple juice. Even when he was hurt, Matt still remembered his favorite food. How bad he was to that man. After giving her a handsome treat, Matt left Jessica who could only look at her back sadly.

Jessica went into the room and locked her room. Jessica giggled amusedly, for what he did such a stupid thing like a hunger strike like this. He thought, if he went on hunger strike Matt would pity and forgive him. But he thinks Matt doesn't care about him. He just doesn't want his family to think he abandoned him for cheating. Matt was so nice, but he hated Matt's good behavior. The man should have taught her a lesson, not been this kind. Given Matt's good treatment, it made him suffer even more.

Jessica could see that glass of apple juice. More precisely look at the glass glass that is very shiny for him. With two sips, a glass of apple juice was finished in his hand. Carefully afraid of making a sound, Jessica broke the glass.

Jessica smiled sadly. Should it be like this? Should he do this? Because sooner or later Matt will tell all to his parents. And he could not imagine what his father would do to him, just imagining it made him very afraid. Jessica smiled sadly, before she scratched on her arm, the ringing of the phone made her flinch. Call from Mike, should he pick it up? He had to lift it up, at least to say goodbye to the man who had accompanied him for so many years.

“Jess, you're okay, right? Why never pick up my call?”

“Mike, M..Matt M's..Matt-”

Jessica could not help her crying. He needs a backrest now, badly in need of a backrest. Indeed, the last three days Mike tried to contact him, but he never picked him up. But now, when he wanted to give up, Mike came as if blocking everything.

“Jess calm down, calm down. I already know, and I'm so sorry Jess.”

Jessica was unable to speak, just a sad joke she could convey. His heart was so sick, so broken. Mike's heart slashed, he realized just how much Jessica loved Matt, and he was stupid to try to separate them. Mike was really sorry if he had to make Jessica like this.

“M..Mike, I'm giving up. It's so painful Mike, a.I want to give up.”

“If Matt leaves you, can't you be with me Jess? There's still me, I'm always there for you Jessie.”

I don't know why Mike's words calm him down. Mike's right, he still has it, there's still someone defending him even if it's just one guy. Mike was so relieved after he said that, Jessica's cries died down. Jessica is better now, her stuffing is starting to subside, her breathing is no longer hunting.

“You promise to always be there for me Mike?”

“I promise.”

Matt clenched his hands tightly. He could see Jessica smile on the screen, a call from Mike. The man still dared to contact his woman. Just as she was about to run away and approach Jessica's room, the girl almost cut her pulse, but one call saved her. But when he finds out who contacted the girl, all his relief is gone.
