I was getting pissed up day by day. Like why would Daniel do such a thing. He was becoming more and more unbearable.
Like.. you don't touch me but you still lock me up. Why not let me live my life and have my fun. Motherfucker.
I love him yes. But this is too much to handle.
Moments later, Tina arrived and hurried over to the sofa to sit beside me.
“Girl, how are you doing? God! You look like a mess.”
“I'm tired Tina. Like I'm really tired. I want to leave this marriage. I'm so tired.” I cried and she hugged me tight.
I could feel my tears dripping on her silk green dress.
“It's okay dear.” She rubbed my back like a little kid and patted me like a mother does to her child.
“I want to leave.”
“It's okay dear. This will all pass. It will pass away soon.”
Tina was one of my closest friends. If not my best friend. She was the type of friend that any girl needed. She was a great confident, my partner in crime, my sister and so much more. She was everything in one person and she had never let me down.
“I loved him Tina.” I sobbed. “Why would he treat me like this?”
“It's okay baby girl. Let it out let it out. It's okay.”
Then the devil himself arrived.
He seemed to be in a very bad mood because when he entered he didn't even look at me or Tina. He just walked right straight into the bedroom and his footsteps were very huge and scary. Like you could feel the anger in his footsteps.
Then he came down from the stairs and looked at me.
“Lexi. Lexi!” He yelled.
“Yes love?” I looked up and he saw my red eyes.
“Go and make my supper.”
Like.. excuse me? You're seeing that I'm in this state and you're asking for supper. How inconsiderate.
“What are you still looking at? Go and make me some supper.”
“Don't worry I'll do it instead.” Tina said to me and stood up a bit to leave for the kitchen but Daniel saw her.
“Are you stupid?”
Tina stopped dead on her tracks.
“Are you Lexi? Who told you to cook?” He was annoyed. “Lexi get up now and get me my food.”
I stood up and walked over to the kitchen to prepare food for the gods.
Every part of my body was suffering. It was dying. I was dying here slowly every single day.
Now I wanted to run away from myself, not the marriage anymore.
Like I have so much to say but I just don't know how to say it. I can't find the words to express my anger and hatred to this son of a b***h. I hated him and I loved him at the same time. A terrible combination. Love and hatred.
I put on the gas and got started. Thankfully, Leah, our maid had already prepared some food beforehand so I just had it warmed and it less than 20 minutes it was ready.
I dished out his food in his favourite plate and his golden spoon which no one else dares touch. Have I told you about the story behind this spoon?
There was a time that Tina came to visit me and she dished the food herself from the kitchen. So she took the golden spoon and started eating with it.
I didn't see it as a big deal. Then Daniel came back and met Tina eating with his spoon. The anger in him ehnn..
He dropped his bag and went straight to the dining table.
“Who gave you the temerity to touch my spoon?”
Tina was lost in words.
“I said who gave you the temerity to touch my spoon.” He was so angry he scattered everything in the dining table.
Down to the cutleries, the teacups, kettles, decorations, everything. He was about to dive at Tina but then I shielded her and collected the beating.
Tina just watched as I was beaten. She ran away out of fear.
She later came back to check up on me.
Personally, I didn't like it whenever she came to my house. I didn't like it when any of my friends came to my house. Daniel was like the demon himself and I wouldn't blame anybody at all for not wanting issues with him. Even our gate man was scared of him. Of course, he was his boss and he could get him fired at the slightest provocation.
I lay his food on the table and went upstairs to go and call him in our bedroom.
I knocked.
“Daniel.”
“Yes?”
“Your food is ready.” Then I left.
Moments later, his door opened and he went downstairs to grab his food.
“Lexi. Lexi.” He yelled while coming down.
I rushed out of the kitchen to answer his call.
“Come and sit down here.”
“What?” I was shocked.
“I said come and sit down here let's eat.”
“Okay,” I said while hesitantly pulling out the chair to the dining table.
I sat beside him.
“Yesterday, I had a very rough day at work. You need to see the way one useless employee of mine was acting up. Like who is giving this guy balls to talk to me anyhow.”
I listened to him as he spoke and nodded my head while giving little hmm and ahhs.
When he was done with dinner he told me to stand up then he commanded me to go to the bedroom and wait for him.
Oh my God! I stood up and went to the bedroom. The very room where I sleep at every night like I was treading into the lion's den.
Oh God! Help me soul.
I finally got into the room and sat on the bed like a sheep ready to be sacrificed.
He came in and snapped the door close. Then he started unbuckling his belt. He flinged it aside then came close to me and pulled my legs.
He opened it and buried his head underneath. Then he started using his hands to play with my kitty after successfully yanking my panties off.
‘Oh God! Please help me!” I pleaded underneath my breath.
This monster sucked the hell out of me then he then proceeded to go straight inside me. Thrusting so deep mercilessly. With no mercy at all. I hated him and I cursed him under my breath.
With each thrust, I cursed him. When he was done, he zipped up and went straight to bed. Snoring like an animal.
I wept. Tears prickled down my cheek.
“I'm so tired.” I cried out. Glad he didn't hear it.
I managed to wipe the tears off my eyes and get up. I went to the bedroom to flush out my system. My legs we're in pain from the gross pounding. I still managed to get myself to the bedroom and I locked the door.
I sat on the toilet sit and I cried.
My phone screen lit up on the wash basin.
I picked it up. It was a message from Tina.
Baby girl I'll be going now. Take care of yourself. Muah ?.
Oh Tina! How I wish I was as strong as she was?
