Chapter 41 Bastard, let go of me!

"HONEY?" Margaret was startled by her husband, who suddenly and violently opened their room's door. She also felt afraid of the visible anger on his face.

"Pak!"

A strong slap landed on Margaret's face that surprised her. She touched her right cheek that was hurt whilst her eyes widened in shock. She looked at her husband in disbelief because he hurt her that easily.

"How dare you!" She yelled at Alfonso. She was about to fight him back when he gave her a slap again, this time, on the left cheek.

"What's wrong with you?" She shouted, almost like a cry, as she touched both of her cheeks with both hands. She was almost deafened by the impact of his slap.

"What's wrong with me, huh?" Alfonso abruptly gripped his wife's hair and pulled it to lift her face up. He was completely eaten by anger and he hurt her mercilessly.

"Who is Philip in your life?!" Alfonso's voice echoed in the four corners of their room. His voice can be heard even outside of the room, like a wailing lion.

Margaret froze and she could not fight when she heard her husband's question. She felt her whole body became cold.

"You're a bitch!" He dragged his wife and pushed her onto the bed aggressively. She moaned in pain, but he did not care.

"Honey, calm down!" Her voice was trembling with fear, but she desperately searched in her mind how she can tame her husband.

"I don't know where did you get that and who wants to ruin our relationship!" She kicked the photo that was thrown at her feet. It was taken with Philip and she was hugging him. She could not look at the other photos she and Philip took.

"You're a fake, a slut and pretender! I chose you over my previous wife because of love, but you did this in return? I was really a big fool to let myself be in your hands!"

"I… I love you, you know that... Ah!" She could not finish what she wanted to say when Alfonso gave her a slap on the cheek again. She could now taste the blood from her lips.

"How could you introduce the one you're having an affair with as your nephew to me?" There was disgust in Alfonso's voice.

"Honey, please don't act on impulse and believe that..."

"Stop calling me ‘Honey’!" Alfonso yelled in disgust.

Margaret quickly crouched to stay away from her husband when she saw him holding a figurine. She screamed in terror when he threw it at the wall and it broke.

"You're an evil woman and heartless! You even dare to hurt my daughter, despite of everything I have given you! I didn't believe my daughter back then, particularly that Philip because I thought he really was your nephew!" Alfonso has gone mad because of his anger for Margaret. He felt like his head and heart is going to explode, thus he took it out to other items. Everything he would touch will be damaged or broken every time he throws it at the wall. When he got tired, he breathed deeply and held his chest that tightened.

"What's in those photos aren't real!" Even though she was terrified, she still denied the truth. "Why are you being like that? Nica probably did that and she really wants to ruin our relationship!"

Alfonso was quick to come closer to his wife and he pulled her hair and holds her neck using his other hand.

"Don't make my anger increase if you don't want to die today right now!" The way Alfonso spoke was as if he was possessed by a bad spirit.

Margaret's whole body trembled with fear and she coughed because her husband's grip on her neck tightened. He looks like he was possessed by a demon and he does not know her as his wife.

Janice went out of her room when she heard the noises in her parent's room. She almost collapsed in anxiety when she heard the shouts and sounds of things breaking.

"Nica, please do something!" She pleaded to her sister when she saw that she was coming, along with Chris.

Nica was also anxious about what is happening and she searched for a thing that could open their parent's room.

Even their maid was also trembling with fear, particularly when her female boss shouted and was asking for help.

Alfonso came back to his senses when he heard his daughters' voices as they knock on their room door. They were trying to open the door, but he double-locked it.

"Hon, please listen to me." Margaret began begging her husband. She was a bit relieved when he removed his hand from her neck. But he was still gripping her hair and she cannot fight.

"Why did you do this to me?" Alfonso's voice became low now. He uttered his resentments toward her, but he did not get a proper answer from her and he becomes mad again.

"You're really not going to confess?" His voice became terrifying again when Margaret denied the photos.

Margaret screamed in horror and pain, she asked for help from the people outside of their room again. She could not fight back nor break free from him because he was strong.

"Move aside," Chris said to Nica and Janice, who kept on knocking on the door whilst calling their parents.

Chris was holding a heavy thing and was ready to destroy the door to open the room. But before he could lift the object, the door opened.

"Dad!"

"Mom!"

Nica and Janice said simultaneously when they saw their parents' conditions. Their father's face was red because of anger, Margaret's face was red and her lips became violet and there was blood.

"Dad, enough, have mercy on Mom!" Janice pleaded while crying as she tried to remove her father's hand from her mother's hair.

Alfonso ignored his daughter's plea. He dragged Margaret downstairs. "Don't intrude here, I can't forgive her for what she has done to me!" his voice echoed.

"Dad, calm down, something might happen to Aunt Marga. Let's settle this in a proper way." Chris also asked the man. He joined them in stepping down the stairs and supported Margaret's body.

Nica cried because of what was happening. She is worried about her father's health because his breathing keeps on changing. She hurried to follow them downstairs too. While Janice was still trying to help her mother to escape from the tight grasp of their father on her hair.

"Bastard, let go of me!" Margaret regained her courage to fight back. She collected her strength and pushed her husband away, even though her scalp was almost removed because he was gripping her hair.

"Ge-Get out of my ho-house!" Alfonso's finger was pointing to the door whilst his other hand was on his chest. It tightened again and this time, the pain he was feeling from there, doubled.

"Dad, calm down!" Nica quickly approached her father and helped him when he could not stand straight.

Chris' action was also quick and he prioritized the man instead of the lady on the floor. He helped Nica to help her father sit in a chair.

"Manang, quick, get some water!" Nica shouted at the maid and she panicked when she saw that her father is suffocating.

"Let's bring him to the hospital now!" Even though the man was heavy, Chris managed to carry him when he saw that his lips have become dark. Nica quickly supported him to make his steps faster as he carries her father.

Janice sobbed as she hugged her pitiful mother. But she suddenly rose to her feet when she saw that Nica and Chris were carrying their father and they hurried to take him outside of the house.

"Don't leave me here!" Margaret angrily called Janice when she started following Nica.

Janice was confused about which side she should be at. In the end, she went back to her mother and helped her get in the car. She also needs to be checked and treated because it looks like she has a broken bone or two and she has many contusions on her face.

"My goodness, what's wrong with this family!" The maid also panicked and the content of the glass she was holding, fell. She was left in the house and she did not know what she should do.

On the other side, Philip is frustrated because he could not contact Margaret. He just noticed that someone meddled in his laptop and he is assuming that she did it.

"Bullshit! If I get fed up with you, old lady, and can't benefit from you anymore, I'll throw you like trash!" Philip cursed Margaret in irritation, even though she could not hear him. He met Margaret in a casino five years ago. He used his charisma to attract her and get some money.

He did every order from her in exchange for money. He instantly became rich because she introduces him as her nephew and he met many rich friends.

Philip looked at his turned-on laptop and he smirked when he saw the picture of him and Margaret together in a bed. He is thankful that it did not get erased because he can use it to hold her by the neck.
