Marriage Gone Wrong

New Beginnings

(5 years after the issue that happened with Alex, Bella graduated from university and got a job at Crown hospital. She was a successful and renowned doctor. She had everything she wanted, was it fame, wealth or money. She had everything, but the only thing that she did not have was a relationship or a man in a life. At first, this did not bother her, but the taunts that she was getting from people made her worried. So, she decided to give the relationship a chance. She met Zane during her shift in the hospital and got married to him).

I am married to Zane, and we have two children together. I made a huge mistake rushing into this marriage. I thought that I had finally found my soulmate after what happened with Alex and that Zane loved me too.

Getting married to him was the biggest mistake I made in my entire life. I didn’t listen to my friends or my family. These people have always wanted the best for me, they had my best interest at heart, they warned me about this guy, but I did not listen, and now I’m bearing the consequences of my irresponsible decision. I regret the day I met him and I did not maintain a patient-doctor relationship, but I wanted more. I guess it was because I was deprived of love for a very long time that I did not recognize his flaws.

At the beginning of our relationship, everything was so rosy, and it was going well. I loved him a lot, and I was willing to do anything for us, even though I decided not to compromise for any man again. But I still did it because I was in love with him. I remember the day I met him at the hospital when I was assigned to take care of him in the hospital. Zane was not the regular type of guy I had imagined ending up with, he was just different. He was tall, handsome, and he wore glasses, and he had this nerdy look that I was just attracted to. I wanted to experience something different. Fortunately for me, he declared interest in me, and then we went on many dates and talked to each other a lot, and finally we started dating. I was very happy the day he asked me because I finally have a love life after many years.

Zane was romantic, and he was also dominant too in bed, which is an aspect that I love a lot. He knows how to be romantic and how to please me sexually, he was everything I wanted, and then I was happy to be with him.

Even though he was not earning much like I did and what he was earning was not even up to half of what I earned, and even if I was the one catering for our needs, I did not really care, and it did not bother me because, after all, a wife is supposed to support her husband no matter what and I believed that things will get better, all I needed to do was to support my husband and stand by him

After five months of dating, he proposed to me, and then he asked that we get married. Although it was too soon, I didn’t care because I was happy, and then I thought he loved me, and so, I finally had my happily ever after, but I was very wrong.

My family was never in support of my relationship with Zane, they thought he was very secretive and not being open. I thought their claims were not justified and that was just the way Zane was.

As far as he loved me and kept me happy, I didn't care what anybody thought, because Zane was different and I loved that about him.

I ignored my family's warning and married him.

My family had no choice but to accept our relationship because he was the one I wanted.

My sweet life turned out sour one Tuesday night.

(Flashback to the Tuesday morning)

I woke up early, at 5 am as usual. Before I stood up to pray, I woke Zane up and asked him to join me in prayer because it was a normal thing that we do together as a couple before we go about our daily activities.

(Bella tapped Zane in an attempt to wake him up, but he stood up from the bed angrily and shouted at her)

Why must you disturb my sleep woman, if you do not value your sleep, I do. So please, do whatever you want to do and let me be (Zane said).

Why are you talking to me like this dear? I just woke you up like I always do. What did I do wrong (Bella said)?

Ooh, now you want to argue with me because you are the man of the house, right? (he asked)

No problem then, I will leave the room for you (Zane hissed)

(Zane left the room and he banged the door. Bella went after him)

Why are you following me this woman? I have left the room for you. Go and pray (he said)

Please do not shout dear, our children are asleep. Please don't wake them up. (Bella said)

Oh now, so I am shouting, right? I will leave the house for you and your children. (Zane said)

(Zane went out of the house and banged the door. Bella just sat down on the chair thinking what she did wrong and why Zane behaved like that)

I do not understand the switch in Zane's behavior. Sometimes he is really caring, but sometimes he behaves in a way that I can not understand, and now he has left the house.

He did not even see the children before leaving.

I just want everything to be fine between us again.

(Back to the present)

Everything turned worse that night when I discovered my husband's secret that he wrote in a journal. My beloved husband was a monster, and I was very terrified about what I saw.

What Zane wrote made me really scared and terrified.

Reading the journal was the beginning of my troubles. I was not supposed to see him like that, and then I regret seeing him like that. Sometimes I think that our lives would have been better if I had not come across his journal that night. Whenever I think about that night, it sends shivers down my spine.
