My Dad Turns Out to be Eyes

"Don't touch her!" Jessica snapped as soon as she saw John bending over to wipe her mother's hair off her face. Jesaica struggled to rebel from the strings when she saw John do that.

The man knelt by the side of his mother's corpse and Jessica could not understand what had just happened. But the more he saw the circumstances, the more he understood. John, he killed his mother. She had killed her mother so easily that it made Jessica feel so disgusted at her. She looked down at her mother's body and thought back to what had happened to her.

Previously, Katherine had managed to loosen the strap on her wrist while John was upstairs. Katherine had rushed towards where her daughter was tied up, helping the girl break free from her bond before then grabbing her hand.

Her mother rubbed Jessica's cheeks, telling her how sorry she was, telling her how much her mother loved her and was so sorry in her life for choosing the wrong man. John is a real criminal. Unable to see her mother continue to blame herself, Jessica asked her mother to calm down and took her up the stairs out of the basement.

Her mother nodded, grabbed Jessica's hand and moved up the stairs. But that's when the door opened. Hidden door near the closet under the stairs. The dim light revealed John's face which instantly blocked their steps. Katherine then moves in front of her daughter, trying to protect Jessica and retreat to a corner of the room.

He fights John, doing his best to distract him so Jessica can escape. But John is stronger and faster than both of them. The sound of cracking the wall made Jessica stop her steps. He turned his head and saw his mother's body slumping against the wall, blood dripping from his back head. John had just smashed his mother's head against the wall in full force, killing her.

John had moved on later, grabbing Jessica who was petrified at the time. John then dragged her back to her seat. And this is where Jessica now stares at her mother's corpse with mixed feelings.

John looked at Jessica casually then looked at his mother.

"Your mother tried to defy me, Jessica," John warned her. "Yes, before I had told her to be a good woman, there was no need to fight. I never meant to kill him. Trust me, I don't really love him, but he has little use..."

"No," Jessica said. "So far from him. Leave him alone."

"She's dead, Jessica," replied John chuckling. "He doesn't even matter anymore."

John stood upright and looked back at the twenty-year-old girl with a hand that held her waist. A small smile came back out from his lips along with a sigh. 

"Let's hope that your beloved will deliver a message to Robert. You know, he's been trying to keep track of me ever since. It's funny to watch." John shook his head.

Jessica tried to drive Nathan out of her mind after she heard the mention of the name. He needs to focus and not think about what would happen if he never saw Nathan again.

"This was all part of your plan a long time ago, wasn't it?" Jessica told John. "You.. You never loved my mother .. You. You know that my mother was my father's ex-wife, that's why you've been approaching my mother all this time."

"You know? You're very smart. Yeah, you're right I did approach your mother for all that. And bouncing it off what better way to get it than by kidnapping Robert Anderson's daughter" John said. 

"And I admit, Jessica, you did come without a fight. Yes it was a bit disappointing for me when I expected a little more resistance from you. Though I'm sure that the organization will definitely plan the wiretap as long as we plan the exchange. I want to stop him. But it turns out you did come alone."

"Why?" Jessica asked.

The man then squatted in front of him. He put his hand on the girl's thigh. He stared at Jessica's tights before slowly tearing them to his thighs. 

Jessica rebelled and tried her best not to let sobs come out of her mouth when John did. He didn't know what John was going to do at the moment, but he knew it wouldn't be fun for him

John slowly opened the bandage that had wrapped around Jessica's injured leg. Jessica whimpered in pain as she felt John's cold fingers touch the wound on her still-reddened skin. John finally threw the bandage to the floor and rubbed Jessica's skin. She couldn't feel so much pain in the wound because Jessica didn't have a nerve in the burning part, but just the thought of John touching it, it already made her feel so nauseous.

"It's terrible, isn't it?" John whispered to his ear "Feeling so weak and helpless. Is that how it feels to see your feet? Yeah, knowing your dad did that to you.he..."

"He didn't do this to me" Jessica replied sharply. "Dimitri yan did this to me. He was the one who brought me to Thailand. I'm sure you know everything about that."

"I know," John said to her as he shook his shoulders relaxed. "I know it's not a coincidence. But it was your father who put you in that position, didn't he?"

"What are you trying to do?" Jessica asked sharply, looking at John cynically. "Do you want to make me fight my father? Provoke myself? That's not gonna work. I know who he is and I know what he's doing. And my father, he's gonna kill you for this. You know that, don't you? You know he's gonna win and he's not gonna let you get away with this."

A terrible laugh emerged from John's mouth as he moved his hand to Jessica's cheek and rubbed his thumb over the bruises that were on Jessica's face. And John's actions made Jessica put her face back, she did everything she could to get away from her touch, despite her complete failure. John kept touching it.

"He won't be able to do it" John told Jessica with a cold expression. "He's Robert Anderson, I know that.but you're his daughter. You're his only family and he's now your only family. Ohh.. How pitiful you are right now."

John then continued. "And you know what? Your father wouldn't dare fight me and risk losing you, Jessica. Especially when Nathan later tells himself how devastated you were in the video. Nathan would've told your father your mother was dead. And that would make your father think that I would not hesitate to kill you if he dared to mess with me."

"Do you think I won't be able to handle this? Do you think I would just give up on you? Do you think that I'm gonna let my dad give up?"

"Well, I can see so much of your trust in Robert, you really believe him apparently," John rolled his eyes before reaching into his pocket.

John then pulled out a knife from his pocket and Jessica swallowed his saliva violently. He would not show how scared he was right now. He can't. He would not let John see him in fear. And the one thing he wanted right now, was to escape from this basement

"Should we test how much trust you have, Jessica?" John wondered as the shiny tip of the knife was exposed to the light of the lamp

Jessica chose to remain silent and closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to come upon her skin.
