**A Divorce**

**Chapter 803**

A sudden crash echoed through the room as the glass ashtray collided with Jacob’s face. The sharp impact sent a jolt of pain through him, and he couldn’t help but yell, “Damn it, you fucking bitch!” His voice was a mixture of shock and rage, reverberating off the walls.

In that moment, he was convinced that Courtney was spinning a web of lies, perhaps concocting a story just to have the opportunity to strike him, or even worse, to end his life. The thought simmered in his mind, igniting a fury that surged through his veins.

With a knife gripped tightly in his hand, Jacob pointed it menacingly at Courtney, his voice dripping with venom. “You think I won’t kill you?” The air between them crackled with tension as they squared off, each waiting for the other to make a move.

Meanwhile, Josephine stood frozen in the doorway, her heart racing as she took in the chaotic scene. Her gaze shifted, and she noticed a middle-aged man emerging from the bedroom. Confusion washed over her as she thought, Who is that? The sight was surreal, like a scene from a nightmare.

The atmosphere felt oppressive, a whirlwind of fear and uncertainty swirling around her. Josephine wanted to scream, to shout for help, but her voice was trapped in her throat, suffocated by her shock.

Without warning, the man charged at Jacob, his expression fierce and determined. He seized Jacob by the shoulders and delivered a swift punch to his face, followed by a relentless barrage of kicks. Each blow echoed like thunder, drowning out the chaos of the moment.

Jacob crumpled to the floor, the knife slipping from his fingers and clattering away. The man’s eyes were filled with a fierce intensity, his mouth set in a grim line as he continued to rain down blows on Jacob.

Panic surged within Jacob as he realized he was on the brink of being beaten to death. Desperately, he crawled toward the knife, his body screaming in protest. But the man was quicker—he kicked Jacob again, then lunged for the weapon.

Fear gripped Jacob’s heart as he envisioned the man plunging the knife into him. In a burst of adrenaline, he lunged forward, and the two men began to wrestle, grappling for control.

Meanwhile, Courtney was spiraling into a haze of pain, her vision blurring as she felt warmth trickling beneath her. It was a sensation she couldn’t quite comprehend. “Jo… Josie, call, call for he…” Her voice was barely a whisper, strained and weak.

Josephine, transfixed by the brutal struggle before her, was oblivious to her mother’s plea. The chaos consumed her, and she felt paralyzed, unable to process the horror unfolding in front of her.

With a sudden surge of energy, Jacob managed to land a punch on the middle-aged man’s face. Just as he prepared to strike again, the man’s hand found the knife, and in a swift motion, he drove it into Jacob’s abdomen.

Time seemed to freeze as Jacob’s eyes widened in shock, disbelief washing over his features. Josephine’s heart dropped as she witnessed the gruesome act, her mouth opening in a silent scream, but no sound escaped her lips.

The realization of what he had done hit the middle-aged man like a freight train. As blood gushed from Jacob’s wound, he stumbled back, terror etched across his face. “Damn it, damn it, damn it…” he muttered, his voice trembling.

He glanced over at Courtney, panic rising within him. “Courtney, holy crap, I’ve killed Jacob!” His words hung in the air, thick with dread.

Courtney, barely clinging to consciousness, managed to utter, “Call, call an ambulance.” Her voice was a mere shadow of its usual strength.

The man’s eyes widened as he noticed the blood seeping from Courtney as well. “You, what’s wrong with you?” he stammered, his shock palpable.

“Damn it, are you having a miscarriage?” he gasped, rushing to her side, his earlier aggression replaced with concern.

“Josie, hurry up and call an ambulance!” Courtney urged, her voice strained.

Just then, a low groan escaped Jacob, a sign that he was still alive. The man’s eyes darted back to him. “Damn it, he’s not dead. Josie, we can’t call an ambulance. If we do, I’m screwed!”

Panic surged through Josephine as she clutched her phone tightly. She felt torn, glancing between her father’s writhing body and her mother’s bleeding form, utterly lost. “Mom, Mom, what do we do, what do we do?” she cried, her voice edged with desperation.

Josephine hesitated, fear paralyzing her. She didn’t dare approach Courtney, not knowing who this man truly was. He seemed to know her mother intimately, yet he had just harmed her father. Would he turn on her next?

At that moment, the door swung open, and Hilda stepped inside, having returned from her errand. The sight that greeted her was nothing short of horrific, and she froze in place, her eyes wide with disbelief.

“Hilda, Courtney is having a miscarriage, what do we do?” the middle-aged man shouted, urgency lacing his words.

Instinct kicked in for Hilda as she rushed forward. “Take her to the hospital, call an ambulance!” she urged, her voice steady despite the chaos.

“We can’t call an ambulance. I stabbed Jacob,” he replied, his voice now laced with panic.

Hilda felt her world tilt. “What?” she gasped, nearly fainting from the shock of it all.

Just then, Courtney, her voice barely a whisper, asked, “Is Jacob dead?”

“No, not dead. He’s still moving. Should I finish him off?” The man’s voice was frantic, a mixture of fear and desperation.

Courtney’s response was immediate and firm. “Tie him up, gag him, and hide him in the bedroom. Then call an ambulance for me.” Her words were a command, laced with urgency.

Hilda nodded, moving to help Courtney as the man turned his attention back to Jacob.

Jacob, hearing the commotion, scrambled to his feet, panic coursing through him as he attempted to flee. “Josie, save me! Save your dad, Josie!” he yelled, his voice filled with terror.

Josephine, snapping out of her stupor, shouted back, “Don’t kill my dad! Who is this man?” Her heart raced, torn between loyalty to her father and the terrifying reality of the situation.

Courtney, utterly drained, could barely muster the strength to speak. Hilda stepped in, her voice steady as she explained, “He’s your father. Your real father.”

Josephine stood frozen, the revelation hitting her like a thunderclap. Hilda, seeing the shock on her face, pressed on, “Jacob isn’t your dad. This man is. Hurry up and help him tie up Jacob!”

As Jacob struggled against the man’s grip, trying to break free, the weight of Hilda’s words settled heavily upon him. He was utterly stunned, grappling with the truth that shattered his reality.

In the aftermath of chaos, the air hung thick with tension and unresolved emotions, leaving Josephine in a state of turmoil. Her world had just crumbled, the revelation of her true father shattering the fragile facade of her family.

Meanwhile, Courtney’s frail voice echoed in the room, a haunting reminder of the fragility of life and the consequences of their choices.
