The Fractured Wife

Chapter 13

It’s been 2 months since Roma fled her home with her sons. Frank was drunk and sitting on the floor in his living room since he smashed his furniture that fateful night when he came home from the bar to find his wife and sons gone. “Where is she? Can’t believe that witch left and took the boys with her,” Frank thought to himself as he lifted the whiskey bottle up to his lips. He took a gulp of the brown liquid and smiled as it slid down his throat.

Frank always thought that he had broken his wife to the point she would’ve been too scared to ever leave him. “Cow that’s what she is a stupid cow who should’ve been waiting on me when I got home that night,” Frank said to the empty house. He always thought Roma wasn’t good for him but damn she had a great body that he had to possess.

Frank thought of himself as a good looking man with his deep brown eyes and his messy blonde hair that always fell over his eyes. He kept himself in shape as he was constantly at the gym and prided himself of making people scared of him. His father taught him to keep his wife under his thumb so he knew everything that she did. 

“I need to get her back and show her what happens when she disobeys me,” Frank shouted as his hands shook from the anger that surged through him. “She will die once I get my hands on her, it’s just a matter of time.”

Frank had gone round all the neighbours asking if they had seen Roma and even phoned her sister in Scotland seeing she had been in contact. Frank detested Jane as he knew that if she knew what he was doing to her sister she would’ve tried to turn Roma against him.

Frank remembered the phone call to Jane vividly as she was the only woman ever to get away talking to him the way that she did. “Where is she? Jane,” Frank shouted down the phone. “If I find out that she’s there with you I will kill all of you!”

“For goodness sake Frank she’s not here and even if she was you think I would tell you,” Jane told him with venom in her voice towards him. 

“You Witch do not respect me I am her husband and she belongs with me no matter what she does. She’s mine and mine alone!” Frank screamed at the top of his lungs down the phone after Jane had hung up on him.

Frank had hired a private investigator to track down his wife and so far he hadn’t heard anything but he knew Roma would be found eventually no matter where she runs to. The phone rang making him jump at the sound of the ringing. “What?” he snarled down the receiver to the caller. 

“I have found your wife finally, she is in Scotland with her sister and brother-in-law in a small community,” the man on the other side of the call stated. “Hallelujah! Does she have my sons with her?” Frank asked feeling slightly calmer now that he knew where he had to go. “There is more Frank she looks like she is with another man as I have been observing them and they seem very cosy.” The investigator said before pausing before he continued, “Your youngest has caught me a few times watching them and he has told his mother about me as she has been looking over her shoulder like she’s worried something may happen.” the man finished his report. “Do you want me to keep watching them and bring the reports back to you?” 

Frank smiled evilly to himself, “No, I think I need to go and see her myself and show her exactly what happens when she disrespects me.” Frank hung up with a goodbye and chuckled to himself as he started getting things sorted for his trip. “Watch out Roma, here I come and there’s nothing you can do. Enjoy the last few days as they will be your last. I’m coming for you,” Frank thought as he shut the door to his house and walked down the path.
