Part 2
Jill packed up her husband's belongings, all the things she hadn't thrown at him from that one night that happened a few days ago. His clothes, shoes, things he collected, pictured of just him and her, were all packed in boxes. She planned on going down to his parents inn - where she guess he was staying - and giving it to them.
It was over. Done. Finished.
That night, when he had slapped her and she finally calmed down, she was able to check on her children and explain to them what happened. They were sad when they heard the news, though her eldest seemed to have already known and seemed a bit happy at it (him and his father did not get along, the teenager just tolerated him but now this was the last straw for him too, especially after what he'd seen his father do), and the other two accepted it.
She sighed. If only Rock hadn't done what he did. Maybe, maybe, she would have forgiven him. The patient women wasn't one to hold grudges, but this crossed a line. No one hit her, let alone her husband, and expected to be forgiven easily.
She remembered the fight, before things got physical.
Jill was sitting in the living room, waiting. Her husband would be home soon. He always got home late. Probably out drinking at the blue bar again.
Or, if her eldest son was indeed correct, he was out fucking Lumina because he saw the two kissing. The brunette laughed. I'm being cheated on, she thought, and he thinks I'll let this go? What? Am I not good enough? He's been leeching off me ever since we got married. The only useful thing he ever did was watch their kids when she was working, but ditched them the second she was done for the day to get beers, and party.
It was mistake marrying him. But of she hadn't, she wouldn't have three wonderful children.
At least he helped me get them. Her children were the highlight of her life. She'd do anything for them.
Jill had been thinking about her marriage life, zoning out of the world but returning when she heard the front door open. Presenting a completely sober Rock. So he was fucking the young rich short-haired brunette then. Lumina was a good few years younger than the thirty-six year old farmer.
He had entered the home, obviously trying to remain quiet. The blonde didn't notice his wife until he was completely in, and shut the door. that's when he turned around, saw the look on his wife's face, and knew he was busted.
"So, where were you tonight? Out having sex with the little rich girl who used to adore you? Apparently she still does, if she was seen kissing you. Quite passionately, or so I've been told." Violet eyes narrowing, his blue eyes wide in surprise.
He tried to play dumb, "Jill I have no idea what you're talking about -"
"Don't give me that crap." voice still in control, though she was steadily getting angrier. "How long have you been cheating on me?"
He gave her a look, like she was crazy. He just shook his head. "You've been in the sun way too long, are you feeling okay…?" Concern in his blue eyes.
She snapped. "I know you've been cheating on me Rock! MY son saw you two, and told me! Stop denying it!"
"Look Jill -"
The brunette stood up, and went to their master bedroom. "We'll talk in here. I'm not waking my children. Inside, now." He obeyed, thinking of a good excuse to tell her.
He couldn't come up with one. Not that he had a chance to say anything, because his angered wife was on a roll again, listing all his faults and insulting him. This was when he got mad, and stuck her.
And so she threw him out.
She dropped the box full of clothes in front of the inn. With the help of Takakura and her oldest son, she was able to relocate everything to Rock's parents place.
"Thanks you guys, you can go now." She smiled. Her son didn't want to go, worried for his mom, but she encouraged him to. "I'll be fine."
The blonde teenager, who looked so much like his dad but with his mother's personality, nodded and went back to the farm.
Jill frowned, and mumbled to herself. "Just fine."
After telling ruby what happened, she left their place. She decided, after days of not seeing him and when he did come around having her dog attack him - the two never did like each other - she thought it was time to confront him.
So up the hill she walked to where the mansion Ramona once owned stood, before she died and left it all to her granddaughter.
The brunette wasn't impressed with the mansion anymore, she just walked right past the fountain in the middle ignoring the wonderful garden that was filled with flowers. Though she couldn't help but enjoy the smell they gave off, and along with the sunny day it was a perfect day to just sit in said garden, maybe read a book. There wasn't even a breeze, so no one would get chilled.
This was not the case. No one was out in front. The two were in the mansion. She just strolled right up to it, without knocking, and stepped in.
She scared Lumina, the younger woman jumping when she heard her door closed, and looked immediately guilty when she saw who it was. "Jill -"
The farmer held up her hand, silencing the girl as she gave her a hard look. "Lumina, I do not want to hear your apologies. I just came here to find my husband."
Lumina looked down to the ground in shame, seated in her piano chair. Cats were roaming about the giant house, meowing and wanting affection. Jill just ignored them.
"He's upstairs."
Jill nodded. She went up the stairs, and found her husband in Lumina's waiting room - the room before her actual personal bedroom - and he was looking out at the scenery. He said nothing when she came in.
Jill looked at him. "Rock." He turned, still not saying anything in fear she would blow up again. "I want a divorce."
This shocked him. Jill laughed a harsh laugh, no mirth in it at all. "Did you think I would take you back? You must be dreaming then. I'm done. Done with this marriage, and done with you. My children know what happened, and accept that. They know what I want."
"Look Jill -" a pause. "Please give me a second chance, I love you! And I want to be with our children."
She tilted her head to the side, amusement on her face. She knew these lies. "I don't think you deserve one. And if you did indeed 'love' me, you wouldn't be cheating on me with Lumina. And to say you want to be with my children means you wouldn't go off every night to get drunk and come home late once I was done with work. Its like you want to escape them." Jill shook her head. "No. It's over. We're done. You can have custody, on the weekends, but I want you no where near my farm."
"What?" He grew angry. "You can't just do that!" Silence. "Just you wait, Jill. I'll take the children from you, and you can have visiting rights. Maybe." He looked smug, but faltered when his wife started laughing hysterically.
"I'll see you in court then. Don't forget to sign the papers."
After particularly grueling year of fighting in courts, the results were in Jill's favor. Rock hung defeated. The two had grown a hatred towards each other over the year, and there were many fights - even in public - between the two.
There had even been a physical one. Rock had tried to hit her again, but she fought back not letting him go this time. It had been in front of her farm, right before the entrance, and the two were fighting it out. Their teenage boy had heard the yelling and came out to see what was going on.
Then he saw his drunken father fighting with his much smaller mother. This was when Rock was beaten by his son, and was even threatened by him to "stay away from his mother or he'll do something he'll really regret."
Jill smiled triumphantly at winning. Rock had custody of the kids on weekends - if they wanted to go - and couldn't go near her farm.
And so the once happy couple were divorced, and Jill was free to date again. Rock seemed to have hooked up with Lumina (The whore as what Jill called her in her head, never to anyone else). She had grown close to someone over the year her and Rock lived apart, one of her close friends who she had known for a few years who was particularly happy about the divorce, and she decided to give Skye a chance.
The thief was quite amusing, and charming.
A/N: one more chapter. yay.
