chapter one

The shatter of glass could be heard from the silent house it was so loud one could hear from a mile the sound could be traced to the bedroom which was currently occupied by two people " I told you not to touch my things no I said you shouldn't even come close to this bedroom door so why on Earth would you touch my clothes !" the man shouted with anger and disgust written all over his face little sobs could be heard from Maya whose eyes could not dare meet the fuming man answered so quietly that it got him angry the more " am s..sorry I..it was dirty s..so I decided to w..wash it am r..really sorry" this made the man angry and then he slapped her the impact made Maya lose her balance and fell to the crying holding her slapped cheek " next time you obey me and not do as you wish " the man walked out of the room banging the door behind him the sudden loud sound startled Maya she continued crying untill she decided to pack the glass cup which her husband threw out of anger . After cleaning the broken glass Maya walked to the guest room where she stays and went towards her cupboard to get the first aid box she then walked to her mirror and looked at her reflection and the mark of the slap she received earlier she could no longer recognize herself anymore her youthful and beautiful features she had are all gone and the fact that years ago she thought she could have a beautiful marriage with someone she loves just made her break into tears she opened the first aid box and took the ointment and applied it on her bruised cheek after that she looked at the rest of her body and saw the fading scars and bruises and new ones she remembered those years before her marriage with non other than her childhood friend and first love James Claude
