Chapter 19: Quarrel at the Beach.

Jessica's POV

"Is that you Jessica?"

I didn't turn, I ignored the person who said that, I already know who it is and I don't have energy for him now.

"Jessica, do you know him?"

"Let's ignore him, so back to what we're saying...."

"Jessica, you haven't been answering my calls"

Just as shameless as always, he doesn't take no for an answer, always shameless, ever since we broke up, it seems as though my eyes has been opened to see his obvious flaws.

"Jessica, am talking to you, stop acting like a bitch and answer me"

He grabbed my wrist and forcibly drag me up, I yelped about because of the sharp pain I felt, seems like he hurt me.

"Hey, you bastard let her go"

I heard Laura shouting at him, I was happy that for the first time someone, a girl defended me, I struggled to remove his hand from my wrist, it hurts like hell, seems like I twisted or fractured it, anyone might have happened.

"Who the heck are you, stick out of our business, she is my girlfriend, so I can do whatever I want"

"Your girlfriend, you fucking abusive lier, let go of her before I hit....."

"Thwack, Thwack"

I used my other hand to land two dirty slaps on his face, it was painful but worth's it.

"How dare you, how dare you call me your girlfriend when you always cheat on me, curse at me and worst of all broke up with me on our wedding day when I was on the alter and you on the phone, you dare call me your girlfriend, let me go you animal"

"You bitch, you dare raise your hand on me, I will fucking deal with you "

I close my eyes waiting for his hand to land, I have a loud and sickening sound of hard surface meeting flesh and breaking bone but i felt no pain, I opened my eyes to see Collins on the ground and Xavier broad back shielding me.

XAVIER'S POV

"Well, everything has been good, and grandfather likes her too"

I told Mike when he asked about how I and Jessica have been after the marriage.

"Too? You like her"

"What are you talking about, I like her as a person "

"As a person? Oh Xavier you can lie to others and yourself but definitely not to me, you should know that by now"

"Okay, fine I like her but we still need to know each other and besides though she is laughing and is okay with me, she seems distant and wary like there is a wall between us"

"You can't blame her though, you said she was abandoned on her wedding day, maybe she is still hurting, a month isn't enough to forget someone you love and gave everything to"

"Yeah, well she seems to be moving on too, I just have to be patient with her"

"Yes, that reminds me, what about the issue of you too having heirs?"

"Well as time goes on, we will get to that part soon, we still have four years to go"

"But the way I see it, you two might get two or more kids before that time pass, and the marriage may become a real one instead "

"Oh, come on shut up, you...."

"What's happening over there?"

Mike suddenly asked while pointing over to where people are gathered, it clicked my mind that that's where Jessica and Laura are.

"Jessica "

"Laura "

We said at the same time and rushed over there in time to see a guy holding Jessica's hand tightly and raising the other in attempt to hit her, I rushed forward and delivered a well packed punch to his face, he let go of her wrist as he fell, I turned back to Jessie, her eyes wide in shock.

"Jessy babe, are you okay, look at me, are you fine?"

"Y.... ye .... yes, I am, I think "

"Okay, let me see your wrist, goodness they are swollen, let's get you to the hospital "

"Where do you think you are going you bastard"

The fool on the ground stood up with bloody and broken lips addressing to me, I scoffed at him and signaled to Mike we should leave and Laura being the feisty one she is didn't leave just like that.

"Take that for talk to me like that asshole"

She kicked him in the no no area, he fall, his face all scrunched up in pain, she spat at him like he is dirty, if I was holding Jessica, I would have clapped for her.

"Someone call 911"

"He deserves it though but I am doing this for his future wife not for that idiot "

I heard two women discussing amongst themselves, I nearly laughed, women these days are scary, a good reminder not to offend one of them.

"Are you feeling okay now?"

"Ye... yes, I... I just need water"

"Here, drink.... whoa slowly, no one is taking it away from you okay, take it easy"

Once she was done drinking we drove off, we went to X hospital, I got her a private room and the doctor came in.

"Thankfully she didn't break anything, she fractured so I will put on a caste on her, after that she can come once a week to check progress and remove it "

"Okay, doctor, any medicine for the pain "

"Of course "

We left the hospital and went home, she remained silent all the way, I didn't try to strike up a conversation.

When we arrived home, she went to bath and I sat down at the bed waiting for her to finish, within the next few minutes she was done.

"Thank you for today, I really appreciate your help"

"No problem, I just have one question to ask you and I hope you will answer truthfully because am mad right now, who the fu*k is that bastard"

"My ex boyfriend "
