Married Life's

1.29. Don't Hurt My Girl

Matt looked at the simple house in front of him, in front of him now stood the house of the Villegas family. The house that was like a magnificent palace is now just a simple house that is not maintained. Matt took a deep breath, I don't know what the family's reaction was knowing he was coming here. For three days he had searched the Villegas residence, their palace house had been confiscated because it was in debt with the bank. Because honestly this was all because of him, Boltom Company put a stake in Villegas Company 75%, and after that he stopped. Not even a week has Villegas Company collapsed.

Actually Matt has not really carried out all his plans, he canceled the clarification of his divorce, which he had wanted to reveal all why he divorced and destroyed the reputation of Villegas Company so that everyone could not invest there. But with the withdrawal of shares from him alone it had already destroyed that Villegas Company.

Carefully Matt began to step into the worn-out fence. This house looks so sad for the people who live here who used to be rich businessmen. Matt sighed deeply and knocked on the door slowly.

Almost five minutes Matt knocked on the door but there was no answer. Is this Jessica's house? Did Mark give you the wrong information? Once again he would knock, if there was no answer he swore he would scold Mark.

“Wait a minute.”

Matt flinched as the middle-aged woman's hoarse voice rang out, Matt felt his heart beating fast. That was Mrs Villegas' voice. Is Mrs Villegas going to kick her out because of what she did to her family?

“Matt, you're coming.”

A faint smile was seen on Mrs Villegas' pale lips. Matt looked at the middle-aged woman from top to bottom. Just last Sunday he saw this woman in her fancy dress and branded bag. This time there was only a middle-aged woman who wore makeshift clothes, with hair that was only curled up in origin and eyes that did not look to sleep regularly.

“What's Matt coming here?” Matt looked back at Mrs Villegas, astonished at the drastic change in the family. Indeed, it's so outrageous.

“Can I enter Mom?” Matt can see Mrs Villegas flinched. Either because he wanted to come in, or because he still called her Mom.

“Please Matt, but now it's falling apart. You must know, the Villegas family is getting a disaster lately.” A sad tone was heard behind the voice of Mrs Villegas. Matt came in and looked around, it's not so bad on the inside. It's just that the paint walls are starting to dull and some are peeling. But everything looks neat.

“Stay Matt.”

Matt looked at his father-in-law entering a room, Matt staring around the house. Is Jessica here? Really, he really wanted to know Jessica's situation. He misses her so much. After three days ago Mike said like that, he immediately asked Mark to look for the whereabouts of the Villegas family. Even three days of time had been augmented by his insistence. He understood, the Villegas family after the Villegas Company collapse case they were lost like swallowed by the earth. They are afraid to meet journalists and be interviewed. They fear that their reputation will be ruined.

“You're here to take this, right? Jessica signed it.”

Mrs Villegas gave her a letter. It was her divorce papers with Jessica. He's not here for this, he's here to fix everything. Matt looked at Madame Villegas, a small smile indeed seemed to be on his lips, but his eyes interpreted a very deep sadness.

“Mother, is everything okay?”

“All good Matt.” Matt could see with great difficulty the middle-aged woman smiled, Madam Villegas' eyes growing increasingly glassy.

“Can I meet Jessica Mother?”

Madame Villegas just stared blankly at Matt, and Matt could not read anything from that gaze. Mrs Villegas lowered her head, exhaled and looked back at Matt. And for the second time the middle-aged woman tried to smile.

Mrs Villegas began to stand up and set her foot toward the door in the corner of the room. Matt followed her from behind. Somehow the reaction of Jessica when she saw him, could Jessica really hate him for making her family become like this?

Mrs Villegas opened the room with the old brown door, it was very dark inside and there was only light coming from the vents above the window. Matt's heart is racing. He could see the back of a girl lying against the closed window. Matt was sure the girl was Jessica.

“Jessie.”

The soft voice of Mrs Villegas was able to make the silent atmosphere sound. Jessica was seen waking up and staring at the door. Matt could not see Jessica's face clearly because the room was very dark.

“Mother what is you?”

This time Jessica's voice sounded. Mrs Villegas approached the child, while Matt stayed right at the door. Confused what to do now, all she sees now is Jessica and Villegas being seen hugging tightly. And the cry of Lady Villegas began to be heard, a very bitter cry.

“Jess, Matt comes.”

“Really Mom? So everything is done, huh?” Jessica's voice was sad, and then things went quiet again. And Mrs Villegas's cry subsided.

“I'm really sorry Mom, I'm sorry I hurt a guy like him. If I can choose, can I repeat everything Mother?”

“Jess..” Mrs Villegas' embrace tightened, and her cries began to sob.

“Jessica.”

This time Matt started to open his voice, Jessica gasped. He looks at the door, but Matt can't see Jessica's face because of the lack of light.

“Mother, who is it?”

“Matt, can you turn on that switch? Right next to you.”

Matt nodded and he turned the switch on. Matt looked at Jessica, very surprised. Wounds all over Jessica's body, even her eye area. The girl seemed to have been bruised by being beaten, her eyes were not even visible because her face was swollen.

“Jess, you..”.

Matt could not continue his words, he clenched his hands tightly, his emotions peaking. How dare someone make the girl he loves so much. He did not even dare to hurt his girl. He will repay his actions, whoever it is.
