Kim’s Anger.
Jessica went into her room. Then she laid her body on the bed. She returned to her cell phone, which she had hidden in a secret place in her bag.
She immediately sent a message to her husband.
[ I just got home, was laying down and resting for a while. After this I’ll pack up and start my trip to the airport. See you later. I’ve missed you so much. ]
Jessica wrote and immediately sent the message. She waited impatiently. As usual, every time she sent a message to her husband, she would wait until the person on the other side replied to her message.
Just now she wanted to open a reply to a message from her husband but suddenly the door of her room opened, without a knock on the door, that made her surprised. The man standing in front of the door was his first elder brother. Daniel, he stared intently at Jessica and immediately took the phone out of her hand.
“Why didn’t you knock on the door first?” Jessica asked with an angry expression. Even just not knocking on the door first, but the older brother had also taken her cell phone without permission.
“Meet grandpa, there’s something grandpa wants to talk about!”Daniel said slowly. Although he was very angry, he could not yell or act harshly at his beloved sister.
“Give me back my phone. I’m going to see Grandpa!”Jessica tried to negotiate. He knew Daniel was angry, as seen from his reddened face and ears. She was afraid, but she didn’t want her sister to know that she had been texting Lexi even though her phone had been confiscated by Daniel.
“Meet grandpa, you’ve already angered him. You better apologize right away, Jess. You really disappointed me and grandpa, you must urgently meet and explain to him now!” Daniel persuaded. He didn’t know what his grandfather would do. He couldn’t imagine it.
“I’m going to see grandpa, but Daniel, you have to return my phone first! Then I’ll see grandpa. If you have not handed over the phone I do not want to see grandpa,” Jessica answered. She raised her voice even though her face was down with fear.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Grandpa already knows everything you did last night and this afternoon in between parties! It’s better that I hold this phone because Grandpa will definitely not apologize if he finds out what’s inside. One more take this.” Daniel took a scarf from Jessica’s clothes hanger to cover the red marks on her chest from Lexi that were visible on her sister’s neck area also. Daniel understood. And this time he tried not to get angry again.
Jessica nodded her head. With a slow pace and without enthusiasm, there was only one word in his head, surrender. surrender to what would happen next.
Unable to blame anyone else, all she had to do was plead with Grandpa not to hurt Lexi and her family.
Jessica went into Mr. Kim’s office. The door was still wide open as if waiting for her arrival.
She looked back, but Daniel wasn’t there. Then, she continued to boldly step into her grandfather’s room.
Keeping her head down, she walked closer to the grandfather’s room where the middle-aged man was waiting for his arrival.
Jessica swallowed. Banish for a moment the prejudices that fill her head. Yes, she had to hear what her grandfather was going to say just now pleading for mercy.
“You know why grandpa asked you to come here?” Fredy Kim asked, opening the conversation. He looked at Jessica with anger. The beloved granddaughter, the only granddaughter he was proud of, really hurt the trust he had just given. Jessica obviously didn’t heed his request. Jessica had clearly broken her promise. Obviously Jessica saw with one eye what was the only hope he put forward which was to not see Lexi and not think about him anymore.
Jessica didn’t dare to speak. It was sure the grandfather’s voice was not loud, but full of emphasis scared her until she did not dare to hold her head up even for a second.
“Did Daniel not tell you?” Her grandfather asked flatly. He couldn’t stand his granddaughter. However, he also couldn’t forgive what Elsa had just done last night. Obviously he went into Lexi’s room and she came out in the morning. They could spend the night together even though it was clear he warned her not to see each other.
Silence.
The sound of the clock ticking was loud. He let her alone to answer. Jessica took a breath and tried not to make a sound at all.
“You have to be firm, I don’t want you to live with someone who has taken your parents away from this world,” he said, looking up. He was waiting for the response his granddaughter would give.
Jessica’s hands clenched. The room became very cold. She was afraid of what her grandfather would say next. What punishment would she receive? More precisely, what kind of punishment would Lexi and herself receive?
“From now on, wherever you are. I don’t want you to see, greet, or talk to that young man. Once you break that, you know what Grandpa’s gonna do. Grandpa will take over all the Ricardo family business. And grandfather will not stand still, they must all be destroyed!” the threat already felt furious. Jessica couldn’t seem to slow down. So he had to use this method a little harshly by making threats.
No sound came from Jessica’s lips. She could not be brave.
“Fifty percent of the shares in Ricardo Group are already in Grandpa’s hands. One percent more than grandfather will become the owner of Ricardo Group. You know and can guess what will happen next! So Grandpa doesn’t have to explain anymore.” Freddy kim who had been very very disappointed moved from his seat just like that then he immediately left his office leaving Jessica still glued and standing there.
Jessica’s body was weak. Her grandfather’s speech was not like exchanging opinions and would achieve something that would be mutually agreed. His word was a command that must be carried out.
It wasn’t a hard choice for her. How can she not see, not greet, and not talk to the man she loved, the man she missed every night.
Just now she felt happy because she could meet Lexi, now the warning from the grandfather made her helpless. Seeing Lexi and his entire family destroyed wsd also not a good option. How could she risk it all and see Lexi become a failed man. No, Jessica couldn’t see the man like that.
Clear drops made wet Jessica’s cheeks. She tried to close it with her two hands. The man’s face and name filled her heart. It dominated her head. How long would her love with Lexi continue to be in this position?
