"The problem with love is: You can love who you want, but so can they...." - Anonymous.
- CHAPTER 2-
She is moaning his name and scratching her nails along his back, begging him to give her a sweet release , he is grunting whilst holding onto her right leg draped against his shoulder...
she is writhing underneath him and demanding him to admit that she is the one he wants...
and in one swift move , she is on top of him , dominating him , her dainty arms around his smooth olive skinned tattooed neck....bouncing on top of him, she demands...
"Come on, Xeus, give us a child , I know you don't even like that wretched wife of yours.."
"You're so so good , Maya Darlin'! Hera is not the one I want , its you .... always you.." He pants.
And suddenly their eyes turn towards me, mocking at me, telling me that it was never real, I was just a body for him to use...and he suddenly laughs...I close my eyes not wanting to witness it all over again...but then I feel a finger against my chin forcing me to open my eyes..I do...and look at my husband who's on his knees scooting down to my level, he c***s his head to the side and asks..."Tell me, Hera ....Are you still my little girl?" He taunts...
"N...no!"I answer mustering up the last ounce of courage and strength I've been left with.
"No..?" He questions , challenging me to repeat what I just said.
I look him dead in the eye and say, "No!"
He stands up in a swift speed and unbuckles his belt, and looks at me with a dangerous glint in his eyes , those pale blue eyes of his scream danger ,
"Tsk...Tsk... I think I need to teach you a lesson now, Don't I?" He asks , c*****g his head to the side.
"No ..please ! " I beg him not to do what he is about to do...
He splashes one end of the leather belt in his hand against the wall just beside my head, and then rolls up the belt against his knuckles, his eyes are stone cold, his face is devoid of any emotions, its like he isn't even Human, he is a beast waiting to pounce on me...
"NO!" I scream as one end of his belt makes contact with my ankle...
he proceeds to hit me again and again ignoring my protests...
"I'm sorry, Xeus...No! No...don't hit me ...."I plead him with tears blurring my vision and yet he doesn't stop...
"No!"
"Please...."
"It hurts...no!"
I cry...I wail...It doesn't stop....
"You're worthless!" He hits me.
Beep!
"You're nothing but a pain in the ass!"
Beep!
"If you weren't the mother of my child, I would've gotten rid of you after using that body of yours!"
Beep!
Beep!
I jolt awake with sweat blooming on my forehead, I look at my son who's sleeping beside me peacefully , I run my finger along his soft brown curls and kiss his forehead.
"I'll give you a life, My honey bee, A better life and I won't let him take you away from me." I say whilst kissing his temple.
I get up from the bed and head to the shower, Millions of thoughts and countless of insecurities flash through my mind, My heart is palpitating at an unusual rate.
I get out from the shower and dry myself and tie the bathrobe around me, I grab my floral sundress and put it on and make my way to the bed, I cradle my still sleeping son in my arms and coo at him.
He slowly wakes up and stares at me with his bright chocolate coloured eyes, A bright smile graces his soft puffy lips,
"Ma..Ma.." He says , those two syllables are just more than enough to brighten up my sour mood. I smile down at him and say , "My baby, did you sleep well, my honey bee?" I coo at him while tickling his sides. He giggles and cups my face with his small soft palms and kisses my jaw lightly and starts giggling.
My heart swells at the thought of his pathetic excuse of his father and the warm smile on my face and replaced with frown. Ares nudges my shoulder with his forehead and I run my knuckle against the smooth surface of his rosy cheeks. I take some time to admire my giggling son.
The phone rings and I look at the caller id only to find that it is my lawyer , Jonathan.
I puck it up and answer with a meek hello.
"Hello Hera, calling just to remind you that you've to be at the main office of the Knight Empire by 8 and so you've around 30 minutes to get there." Jonathan says.
"Oh shoot! Thank you Jonathan, I'll be there on time." I answer and quickly hang up the call.
I groom up Ares and dress him up in a baby blue shirt dress and tie his shoe lace.
After I'm done with him, I gently place him on the baby perambulator and unlock the door and gently lock it after stepping out of my room.
I make my way to the lobby after getting off the elevator lift, depositing my room key at the reception, I make my way to the parking lot and place Ares in the baby seat and take my seat in the driver's seat and put the key in the ignition after putting on the seat-belt. The engine jumps to life and I speed my way to my soon to be ex husband's office.
I reach there within 20 minutes and take Ares out of the baby seat and place him on the pram and walk towards the elevator and press the button for 15th floor.
The ride in the elevator is quite silent because its just Ares and I , The elevator door opens with a jing sound. and I exit out of the elevator pushing the pram before me.
I stop before my husband's office door and swiftly knock on it .
This is it ...
this is where it all ends...
I'll finally be free after the years if misery..
My sub conscious states...
"Come in..."
