Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 38: Her Painful Past

"You're my..."

I couldn't finish what I was about to say as I felt weaker. My body was weak, but my mind was still functioning.

Now I understand why mom used to tell me to stay away from Mason and Ash before. If she had only told me everything back then, the situation would be better than it is now. As much as I wanted to fight, I was too weak to do so, and this wasn't even my territory.

My vision started to blacken, but before I completely lost consciousness, I heard his final words.

"Kidnapper, Jade," he said, finishing my statement. "I was the one who took you away from home before."

Suddenly, I remembered something about my past-The day I found out my father was in a restaurant with another woman.

"Dad..." I muttered, seeing how my father kissed the woman torridly, which isn't my mom.

They weren't even embarrassed by the people around them at that moment. And even though my dad saw me staring at them from across the street, he didn't stop what he was doing. "I thought... you loved us?" I asked in a low tone.

I wanted to ask him that, but at the same time, I was afraid of what his answer would be. I wanted to be like him, but seeing this now, my respect for him was slowly fading away.

I was still in junior high school when I started noticing his red flags. He threatened mom and did bad things to her. I didn't speak up because I thought it would hurt my mom more if I interfered.

I thought that was normal in a relationship, but now I realize that pain and abuse should not be normalized, even in married life as they have.

Dad came to me, and looked me in the eye. He took out his wallet and counted his money in front of me. "I won't go home tonight, so tell that to your mother."
