Chapter 33 The hard slap and punches

EVEN ​though she feels weak, Nica tried to open her eyes and see her surroundings. She wants to hurt herself because she fell into the enemy's bait again. She could not believe someone she treats as a nice friend was Philip's confederate. She did not hesitate to go to her when she called. She was so sad and was even crying, thus she went where she was drinking alone.

Nica had no idea that Philip was also there. It was too late to leave because Xtine made her drink something that caused her to weaken. She could not fight when Philip carried her and took her in his car.

Chris was furious when he saw Philip and his arm that was wrapped around his wife's waist.

"Hey, Bro! Don't be mad, I only burrowed your wife for a few hours." Philip has a demonic smile on his lips when they faced each other.

Chris calmed himself first and he was worried his wife would get hurt. She is obviously not in herself right now and she has no strength.

"Babe, help me!" Nica mumbled weakly when she recognized her husband's voice.

When he heard his wife's hoarse voice, Chris could no longer hold himself back. He reached their place with a big and few steps and he took Nica's body from him.

"Hey, easy!" Philip laughed crazily and raised his hands when he took Nica from his arm.

"Chris, take Nica inside first," Alfonso said to Chris. "And you," Alfonso pointed his finger at Philip. "Go inside too and we'll talk!"

"Dad, please hold Nica," Chris said instead of following his order. He carefully gave Nica to him before he faced Philip.

"I'm sorry, Uncle, but I'm just a man, and your daughter likes to have sex with me more than her husband—" Philip could not finish the rest of the things he wanted to say when a strong punch landed on his jaw.

Chris was not contented in just one punch to Philip. He kicked his stomach and feet. He took the chance and gave him many punches when he fell.

"Oh my God!" Janice screamed in shock and fear at what she saw. Chris was like a hungry lion and Philip was his prey.

"Hold your sister!" Alfonso quickly gave Nica to Janice and stop Chris before he could kill Philip by beating him.

"Oh my God, my poor nephew!" Margaret approached her nephew while crying. She could not do anything but scream 'stop', but Chris would not listen. Her nephew's eyebrows and lips were damaged and blood gushed from there.

"Fuck you!" Philip shouted at Chris angrily. He could not retaliate because of the speed of events and he did not think he was good at punching.

"That's not all you'll get when you approach my wife again, you son of a bitch!" Chris shouted back. If only his father-in-law was not holding his arm, he would have beaten him again when he laughed.

"Don't blame me if your wife wants me more. In the first place, it's me who she loves and not you." Philip sounded insulting, he wanted to get back at him even if it was emotionally.

"Prove that my wife wanted to come with you. Because if you don't, I'll make sure you'll be in jail!" Chris threatened him while pointing his finger at him.

"Chrismith?! Everything doesn't need to go that far!"

Chris looked at Janice who spoke. He stared at her sharply before he quickly took his wife.

"I'll make those who did this to my wife, pay!" he angrily said, even to Janice. He hugged Nica tightly when she moaned.

Alfonso just watched his son-in-law when he carried his daughter. He admired his gut feeling and he did not immediately believe what he heard and saw. He looked at his wife's nephew. If he were in Chris' situation, he might have walked away out of anger and jealousy.

"Shit!" Philip angrily removed his aunt's hand wiping the blood running down his cheek. The two of them were left in the garden and he had no intention of going inside.

"Just relax, he just said that because he was angry. He'll get awaken by the truth and leave that girl soon." Margaret reassured her nephew.

"Do you think that will still work?" he angrily disagreed with his aunt.

"C'mon, you already started it so let's finish it!" Margaret scolded the young man in an irritated and low voice. She ordered Janice to get a first aid kit to treat him before he goes home.

"The hell I care! I dislike hard-to-get girls and I don't intend to have my face ruined!" he said in an irritated tone.

"Don't be stupid!" Margaret could not stop herself from yelling at Philip.

Philip's ear twitched, if it were not for the fact that he was so indebted to Margaret, he would have hit her. "Didn't you hear what that dude said?" Philip's hand pointed inside the house while not taking his eyes off Margaret.

"He will sue anyone who does bad things to his beloved wife!" he reminded Margaret.

"That's why you shouldn't back out if you don't want him to know the truth!" Margaret glared at Philip angrily. She will be in jail also if Chris' finds out the truth.

The two stopped arguing when Alfonso came with Janice.

"This will be the last day I'll see you in my house!" Alfonso angrily pointed his finger at Philip.

"Alfonso? Philip is my nephew!" Margaret contradicted her husband's decision.

"And this is my house and Nica is my daughter!" Alfonso's voice was high and he was full of anger. After rebuked his wife, he faced Philip. "You know that my daughter already has a husband, but you still touched her, you jerk!"

"You're impossible, Honey! He's a man and it's not his fault that girl was coquettish like her mother!"

"Pak!" A hard slap from Alfonso landed on Margaret's cheek.

"Dad!" Janice's eyes widened because of what she saw her father did. She never thought he could hurt her mother in front of her and another person. Never had she saw the two argue, particularly, her father hurt her mother.

Even Philip was shocked at what he saw and he suddenly felt cowardly. He doesn't know how to react.

"You've done too much to my daughter!" Alfonso's muscles trembled and he did not regret hurting his wife. "Silence the soul of the long-dead already and don't dirty Nica's image in front of me!" he shouted angrily at his wife.

Margaret touched her hurt cheek while looking at Alfonso in disbelief. She felt double pain because she was humiliated in front of her daughter and Philip.

"Get him out of here right now before I can drag him out!" Alfonso commanded Janice who is obviously scared of him too. He glared at Philip when he dare not move afoot.

Like a scared dog, Philip stood up and hurried away. He could hear his aunt's cries because she was hurt, but he did not care anymore.

"Ma, Dad, please stop!" Crying, Janice hugged her mother to stop her from hitting her father's chest. She knows that she will get hurt more if she didn't stop.

"You bastard, that insect is dead, but you dare defend her from me?!" Margaret's face was full of tears as she tried to reach her husband's face. She wants to scratch his face, but Janice is hugging her.

"Don't add up any to my anger, Marga!" he hissed to his wife, he was furious and can't control his anger to her and her nephew.

"Huhhh!" Margaret lifted up her head to gasp for air because her chest suddenly tightened. She was madder and her husband is not even sorry for hurting her. He left them there even though he knew she was badly hurt, emotionally and physically.

"Ma, enough, let yourself and Dad cool your head down." Janice comforted her mother.

Margaret removed her daughter's arm violently from her body. She left her and went straight to the guest room.

Nica's spirit is awake, but her body is like a wilted flower. She could hear the noise around, she cried when she heard her husband's voice. She knows he is the one carrying him this time. She is actually nervous and she wants to explain, but she cannot.

"Uhmm!" only a growl came out of her mouth when she tried to speak. She can't defend herself if the bad person was on her side right now.

"Shh, I understand." Chris caressed his wife's forehead. He laid her down and made sure she was comfortable. He was worried thinking about what will happen if his friend Larry was not with her at that time.

"D-Don't go," Nica said, almost only herself heard that. Even though her hand has no strength, she tried to pull Chrismith's clothes.

Chris gritted his teeth as he suppressed his emotion as he watched his wife's helpless face. This is the face he dislikes the most in her, it is breaking his heart.

"I'll just get a wet towel and a medicine to make you feel better." He kissed her forehead before standing up.

Nica let out a deep breath and did not speak again. She kept her eyes closed and entrusted herself to someone again. This time, she hopes not to be disappointed.
