"Greg, stop please! You are choking me!" I managed to scream with my hands tapping him.
He left me and stepped back to glare at me.
"The next time you talk to me in that way, you will regret it, this is just a warning." He said angrily, and left for the bedroom.
I sobbed and rubbed my neck in pain.
“ I hope you are satisfied now?" I heard a voice in my head.
"Mummy, you have not tucked me yet." I heard Mira shout from her room.
I wiped my tears with the back of my palm and went to meet her.

The next day at work….
At exactly 8:00 AM, I walked into the office. My eyes scanned the room for Sophie, my best friend. I soon found her and her eyes also met mine. She got up from where she sat and walked briskly to me.
"Good morning girlfriend." She hugged me and I hugged her back.
"Holy moly! You look like the witch in Hansel and Gretel, you have got a bag under your eyes." She said as she examined my face.
I rolled my eyes. Did I forget to say she is the queen of exaggeration?
" It is nothing serious. I just couldn't get some sleep last night," I said, and walked to my table. She trailed behind me.
" Why? You were the one complaining yesterday of how tired you were, so why couldn't you get some sleep?”
I sighed, Sophie is not someone that can be easily convinced or loves half gist. She always wants to know everything.
I know I just have to disclose what happened to her.
"Greg and I got into an argument last night," I said, and she gazed at me, wanting me to say more.
"One thing led to another and he did this." I opened my top button and showed her the marks on my neck. Her eyes widened and she gasped loudly.
"What the f**k did he do to you? Of course, he couldn't have strangled you, he is not a psychopath." Sophie tried to know what exactly happened.
" Well, that's what happened. He strangled me" I said, while buttoning my shirt back, and she gasped again.
" What! Greg is insane!" She almost yelled. I quickly covered her big mouth with my palm.
I shook my head.
“ Do you want to attract an uninvited third party to our little discussion?" I whispered.
"You really need to do something fast. Soon, he will start hitting you." She said,
"Greg can not just do that. He was probably upset last night. I also said something to him that got him angry.”
I said, trying to defend my husband. So Sophie won't do something I might regret and blame myself for telling her about my family.
*That still doesn't give him the right to strangle you. What if you had died? " Sophie said, and I could sense fear in her voice.
" I am not dead now, am I? Look, I will be fine. He was just upset last night", I said, and she stared at me blankly like I was a maniac.
" What?" I looked at her.
" Nothing, never mind." She said and went to her desk. I rolled my eyes and continued with my work.
*************************
Later at night…
I was already tucking Mira in bed when Greg drove in. I looked at my watch, it was 8:16 PM. I kissed her goodnight and left her room.
I walked downstairs and waited for Greg to come in. A few seconds later, he opened the door and walked in.
"Hi babe." He greeted me.
Seriously? "Hi babe"?? After what he did last night, he just walked in and said Hi babe like nothing happened.
"Kelly, I just greeted you, and you didn't respond," he said.
" I heard you, I'm not deaf." I fired back.
"So why didn't you answer me?" He asked gently.
"Your dinner is on the table in case you are hungry," I said, ignoring his question.
I walked into the kitchen and opened the cabinet. I didn't really need anything, I just wanted him to apologize for what happened last night.
He walked into the kitchen and I pretended like I didn't hear him. I continued searching for nothing in the cabinet. I heard him come close to me, and before I could turn round, I felt his hands on my waist.
" Babe, I'm sorry about last night. I did not mean to hurt you. I was already frustrated from too much work in the office and your words made me angry again. I'm sorry." He said.
I ignored him and closed the cabinet. I turned to leave the kitchen, but he drew me back and held me close to his chest. I gazed into his eyes, our lips were just a few inches apart.
" Why are you being stubborn? I've already apologized with words, unless you want me to apologize again with action.” He said as he caressed my lips.
"What action can pass as an apology for what you did last night?" I asked, frowning at him. I wanted him badly, but I was just acting hard-hearted.
"Do you really want me to show you?" He whispered into my ears, and his words immediately turned me on.
"Yes," I replied.
"Alright then. I'm going to make you trash on the bed, and I'll have you screaming and moaning my name." He whispered again.
This time, I could swear my panties were already soaked. My stomach was already on fire as I felt butterflies.
Times like this make me hate myself for being too easily turned on. I could have played hard to get a little, but my body wasn't having it.
"Well then, why don't you get into action and stop boasting" I said, as I ran my fingers through his hair.
He drew me closer and our lips met. We kissed passionately while his hands roamed along my body.
He slowly removed my night robe halfway, leaving me in my lingerie that barely covered my boobs. He grabbed my left boob and squeezed it and I moaned passionately into his mouth.
His hand slipped in my lingerie, and he caressed my boob, his fingers found their way through my n****e.
He squeezed my n****e and I moaned loudly.
His fingers played with my n****e, rolling and twisting it until my n****e stood erect, begging to be sucked. His mouth immediately covered my n****e and sucked it hard.
I moaned again as he rolled his tongue over it.
He used his right hand that was free to caress my lap and trailed its way to my pants. He slipped two fingers into my v****a and I moaned again.
He continued slipping his fingers in and out until he added the third finger. That was the height of it; I screamed and moaned in pleasure and ecstasy.
"Greggggg!!! Arrggghhhhhh!!!!!"
