Chapter 12 - Why you hurt US, Jessica?

Jessica had just arrived and was entering the house when her biological father grabbed her by the hand and threw her on the sofa in the living room. Not knowing what had happened, she screamed in anger and tried to use her father. But before she could, Hans Yori - her father - came over and slapped her face so hard that the corner of her lip was bleeding.

"Hans! What are you doing? Why did you hit your own daughter? Jessica just came home. How could you ..."

"You keep defending your shameless daughter, Theana. In fact, I'm ashamed to call her my daughter after what she did out there," Hans Yori interrupted his wife.

Meanwhile, Jessica held her cheek, sore from her father's hard slap. She also fingered the bleeding corner of her lip. "Why did you slap me? What did I do wrong for you to treat me like a thief caught stealing?" Jessica said, still trying to control her anger.

Hans Yori looked back at the first daughter who had tarnished the good name of the Yori family and became angry again. "Obviously you don't know what you've done wrong, Jessica? Or do you pretend not to know?" She said with emphasis and emotion.

"Hans, what exactly happened? Why are you being so rude to Jessica? What has she done to make you so angry?" Theana asked her husband. 

She was trying to protect Jessica from the threat of her husband getting angry again and doing violence to his favourite daughter. Moments later, however, Theana was so shocked that she almost fainted when Hans showed her a viral video of today's incident involving their two daughters.

"Hans, that can't be our daughter, can it? Tell me if this is not true. Hans, why are you silent? Tell me!" Theana said screaming, forgetting all her emotions.

"In reality it is true. Will you allow me to kill this ignorant girl, Theana? A child who can only bring shame to her parents. Tell me, shall I do it?" Hans replied as he asked his wife, who looked frail.

Meanwhile, Jessica, seeing her parents arguing, became confused and curious. She didn't know what her father had shown her biological mother that made her look so hurt and disappointed. 

"Mum, what exactly happened? Why are you crying? What video did I show you?" Jessica asked curiously.

But instead of answering her favourite daughter's question, Theana pushed Jessica's body, causing her daughter to fall. Naturally, this confused the spoiled child.

"You're too much, Jessica! Why do you have the heart to throw dirt in our faces as your parents? What have Mum and Dad done wrong to you? All this time, you were the one who was always our priority, so you often ignored Radella. Is this how we repay you for your kindness?" Theana said through her tears. 

"Mum, what's wrong? I don't understand why you hate and blame me? What have I done to you two?" Jessica asked, unable to contain her anger.

"No need to shout in front of us, Jessica! You don't deserve to do this to either of us. You deserve to be humiliated with your brutal behaviour," Hans snapped, defending his wife who was now crying in his arms.

"Hans, what have I done wrong? I've always defended him. But what he did today has completely destroyed me. How can I show my face in front of everyone after this viral incident?" Theana said through her tears.

"No matter, everything has happened. We couldn't change it even if we could. Because it's our own daughter who exposed her shame in front of everyone. So there's nothing we can do about it. We've lost, Theana," Hans replied with equal sadness. 

"What is going on here? You two are really driving me crazy! Tell me what's going on? What video is going viral?" Jessica said irritably.

Without saying a word, Hans immediately sent the viral video to Jessica's phone. He wanted to see how his daughter would react to it. The video showed the two daughters arguing in a café and ended with the revelation of Jessica's reason for leaving Dominic at a sacred event that was supposed to bring happiness to both families. 

"This is impossible! How can this video be? Who leaked it? Argh! My name is ruined. How can this be? Mum, Dad... how can this be? What am I going to do? Please, say something. Please help me. Mummy ... Daddy," Jessica says to them.

Hans and Theana remained silent. A short time later, Hans took his wife away from Jessica and went into her room without saying anything. Meanwhile, Jessica panicked as the video showed her insulting and humiliating Radella, her biological brother, in front of everyone.

"Who is trying to humiliate me by recording this damn video and sending it all over social media? Argh, my name is already ruined because of this," Jessica said emotionally. "Did Radella deliberately pay the people in the cafe to ruin my name in front of Dominic? Argh! Damn you, Radella. Just watch me, I'll make you regret it!" Jessica continued.

Instead of taking responsibility, Jessica blamed Radella. She thought her sister had ordered and paid the people in the café to blaspheme her. She was never able to learn from experience, so she continued to blame others. In fact, without realising it, she was the one who had humiliated herself.

Just as she was about to contact Radella, she received a call from an unknown number. At first she didn't want to answer it. But her phone kept ringing, so she decided to answer it. How shocked and frightened Jessica was when she heard the male voice that traumatised her.

"Apparently you are famous now, Jessica. But unfortunately you are famous for your wickedness and corruption. I can't wait to hear them blaspheme you after this. Or should we add those nasty videos of you while you're serving the customers who use your services here, Jessica dear?" 

"Arash-"

"How are you, Jessica? It's been a while since we met. I miss the scent of your body so much that it makes me want to enter you again and again," said the man from the past who was able to scare Jessica.

"How did you get my number? Didn't I already ..."

"It wasn't hard for me to find information about you, dear. Especially after the viral video that went viral across the country. Of course, the customers who often tasted your body must be very happy to see you again. But it looks like you need to take care of your body, Jessica. You look ugly and dull," Arash said bluntly, making Jessica's face flush with anger.

"Shut up, you bastard! Who do you think you are, running my life? Remember, I am never going back to this hellhole. You're a bastard, Arash!" Jessica shouted, which was greeted with laughter.

"Hahaha. It seems that after escaping from this place you have become wild again, Jessica. And that turns me on very much. Get ready, in a while I'll pick you up. Arash said.

"You think I will? I'll report you to the police if you dare. Leave me alone, Arash. Let me be happy with my life with my parents. It's over," Jessica replied, trying to be brave to hide her fears.

"You think I care? Remember, Jessica. You still have a lot to pay for your life with me. Do you think I'm just going to let you go and be happy? Not even in my nightmares would I think of letting you go," the man said threateningly.

"You are crazy, Arash! I hate you! If it weren't for you, I might not be living in such misery and humiliation! You ...

"

"Then go mad with me, Jessica-"
