A hard slap back landed on Jessica's swollen cheeks. I do not know how many times his father slapped him, while not far from them there was Mrs Villegas who cried roaring, so sorry to see her son but could not do anything. It was the most painful thing she had ever felt to be the mother and wife of this Villegas family. Indeed, this was not the first time that her husband had hurt his child, but this was the first time that he had beaten her so savagely.
“Enough, enough. Don't hurt my son again!”
Mrs Villegas hugged Jessica who was already lying on the floor. She cried when she saw poor Jessica. Why could his son have experienced this, why was he never happy. He always obeyed all the requests of his father, while he himself was never happy by his parents. If Jessica were him, he would be so sorry to be born into a family like this.
“Did you never educate your son this huh?!”
One loud slap now landed on Madam Villegas cheek, Jessica so jolted. His father hurt him a lot, but for the first time he hurt his mother. His anger peaked, the pain throughout his body as if it was annihilated. Jessica was so happy to see her mother holding her right cheek. Fresh blood came out from the corner of his mother's lips.
“What did you do to my mother asshole?!”
“How dare you fight me?!”
Mr. Villegas opened the clasp and with a single blow the clasp hit Jessica's body, Mrs Villegas' cries grew louder, not caring if it could make her neighbors hear. But he thought it impossible, especially the courtyard of the great palace of Villegas is so vast.
Hush..Hmh...Pud
“Already, enough. I beg.”
Mr. Villegas' breathing returned to normal, irritatedly leaving the house by slamming the main door. Mrs Villegas looked at her child's pity, with wounds all over her body, at least Jessica's torment stopped even temporarily.
“Mother, forgive me. Because I'm you.”
“Shhh.. It's not your fault, baby. I'm sorry I could never protect you.”
“Mother.”

Matt stared blankly at the chair in front of him. The events of three days ago are always ringing in his head. A violent slap had landed on Jessica's cheek, the wife she had always guarded. It was supposed to be that Jessica got something like that, but somehow her heart said something else, her heart hurt so much to see Jessica hurt. He was very unacceptable.
Dark circles were increasingly visible under his eyes, it had been almost three days he could not sleep well. Even the incident was always carried away in his dreams when he slept. Now the most he wants to know is, Jessica's state.
A phone call made him flinch. With a lock Matt picked up the phone.
“Siang, Mr.” By hearing his voice Matt already knew who was calling into his office.
“I have done what you ordered, from today Villegas Company will not be able to live quietly."
Matt was silent, for some reason his heart fell. This was the plan, but why was his feeling getting so bad. Matt turns off the phone, his head hurts now. Why did it become like this? He was so anxious, worried, even so scared. A knock was heard at his door. Matt breathed deeply.
“Good afternoon Sir, I would like to talk about your divorce clarification interview with Mrs Villegas. Schedule two o'clock this afternoon, exactly fifteen minutes sir. Many journalists are waiting.”
Not far from the front door of his room stood Tiffany, his secretary. Matt was silent, he forgot all about it. The plan was to tear down Villegas Company. It was her plan to make Jessica beg her. He forgot all that.
“Cancel it all, exit.”
“But with this plan Villegas Company will-”
“Didn't you hear what I said? Out!”
“B...Fine Mr.”
With a single blow of the entire file on Matt's desk spattered, Matt still felt how his head was throbbing pain, while his stomach had not filled anything since yesterday. Not feeling her tears coming out, why is she crying? Why is she so scared of Jessica? Isn't this part of his plan that he has prepared maturely. Why is he so weak like this?
“Matt, can Mom come in?”
The soft knocking sound from outside his study room made Matt quickly wipe away his flowing tears. Matt took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Try as much as possible to be calm.
“You okay baby?”
Chelsea Boltom, Matt's mother looked at the child's work room just a mess. He slowly approached Matt with a tote bag in his left hand. Matt did not react, he kept staring blankly. Mrs Boltom is so worried, Matt could go crazy if it goes on like this. She knew very well that Jessica meant so much in Matt's life.
“Mother, how is Jessica doing now?”
Mrs Boltom looked at the child's pity, lovingly she stroked Matt's head gently. Slowly Mrs Boltom hugged Matt tightly, so sad to see this kind of Matt. For the first time Mrs Boltom saw Matt as weak as this.
“Mom hasn't heard from Jessica since Matt.”
Matt sighed and returned his arms, Matt began to cry in the warm embrace. He needs a hug now, he needs to cry now. She had no idea that parting ways with Jessica would hurt like this. He regretted why his love was so deep for Jessica. He's so sorry.
