On a cold night, after putting my children to sleep, Ben and Faith, I decided to go wait for my husband and reconcile with him.
We had an argument earlier today because I was complaining about his behavior and how he was treating me and my children. He stormed out of the house, and then he did not come back on time. I waited and waited for Zane to come back home to me and our children. His children asked for their father before I persuaded them and put them to sleep.
I waited for hours, but then I didn't see any sign of him. In order for me not to fall asleep, I decided to read some books. I was looking for my favorite books when I came across Zane's journal. I was really surprised to see it because he was not the type of person that writes things down. I agree that he is secretive, but then he is barely at home because of work, he doesn't even have the time to write stuff in journals. The journal was hidden in a place that I would never have thought of, it was inside a big book, and I was only able to discover it because it fell down.
This made me very curious, and then I decided to go through his journal. This was the biggest mistake I made because I saw things that I never imagined I was going to discover.
I flipped through the pages, and I was reading everything. My heart pounded as I flipped through the pages. The more I read, the clearer it became that Zane was a mad man and that he never loved me from the beginning and having children for him was a means to trap me so that I would not dare to leave him.
I discovered that my beloved husband did not even love his children and that he wanted to get rid of them and put an end to them.
This discovery made me really confused. My mind went blank for a second, I was not even aware of my surroundings, I didn't even know when Zane came into the room because I was really lost in thought.
He approached me and smiled. Well, finally, you know the truth about me and our marriage. I never really loved you from the beginning. In fact, I hate you a lot. I hate the sight of you or even seeing you.
Do you think us meeting was a coincidence? No dear, I planned everything, every single thing. Up till now, everything happened the way I planned and the way I wanted it. You might be thinking how you offended me or what you did wrong, but let me save you the stress of thinking, you did not do anything wrong to me, nothing at all. I just hate you and I want to make your life miserable.
I did not want you to find out about this so soon. I wanted to have fun a little bit, but it's all good since you have found out, let the fun begin. (Zane said)
I was really terrible by this revelation and the only thing I wanted was to keep my children safe from this monster. I quickly ran out of the room, but Zane caught up with me.
Zane slapped me severely, and he beat me up mercilessly.
He treated me like I was not a human being but an animal.
Zane kicked me and I could not do anything about it because I was in utter shock.
After he was done beating me, he dragged me by my hair and locked me up in a room.
(Zane approached me from the window and he was just laughing)
Let me tell you a story (he said)
The first day I saw you was when I went with my friend to the hospital because he was not feeling too good. I saw you and I really admired you, and then I decided that I wanted to have you to myself no matter what.
Then I started planning on how I would approach you and talk to you and how to also pursue a relationship with you darling.
I really liked you at first. I was mesmerized by your beauty, and I was really crazy about you.
To be honest with you, I do not know when I started hating you or why I started hating you, but I despised you a lot and I really wanted to make you suffer and miserable.
Then I injured myself and I made sure that you were the one that would attend to me and my plan succeeded.
Is that not wonderful? (he laughed)
And that was how we eventually got married, and I finally made you mine.
I wanted our marriage to last for like 5 years before I would start torturing you, but oh well, you got closer to your deathbed, and what can I do? I can only make you enjoy it (he laughed and left Bella alone).
Zane, where are you going to?
Please open the door for me. I promise I will not tell anyone anything. Please just let me out (Bella said)
(Zane did not listen to her pleas, and he left her alone to cry)
I was very confused, and I did not understand what was happening, but I did not care about myself.I was not worried about myself, but I was worried about my children and leaving them with a monster who I thought was my husband.
I screamed and begged him severally to open the door, but he did not listen to me. I lost energy and I cried myself to sleep.
