DOING YOU LIKE YOU DID ME
A gripping psychological thriller about breaking free from toxic love
Aida has given everything to her marriage, her money, her dignity, her peace. As the sole provider, she works tirelessly to support Julius, her charismatic husband who has mastered the art of manipulation. He’s convinced her that every crack in their marriage is her fault, that his fists are her doing, that his cruelty is love. And she believes him, clinging to the hope that one day he’ll change.
Haunted by a dark secret from her past, killing someone in self-defense. Aida lives in constant fear. The trauma has left her paralyzed, unable to stand up for herself even as Julius’s abuse escalates. She endures his beatings, sends him money without question, and apologizes for wrongs she didn’t commit.
Everything changes when she meets Nat, who holds up a mirror to Aida’s reality and exposes Julius for the narcissist he truly is. Slowly, painfully, Aida begins to transform. The woman who once cowered now fights back. The provider cuts off the funds. The peacemaker stops apologizing. She becomes everything Julius was to her and more.
When Aida discovers she’s pregnant, it should be a moment of joy. Instead, it becomes the catalyst for catastrophe. A brutal fight erupts, and this time, Aida doesn’t hold back. She strikes Julius repeatedly, leaving him unconscious, possibly dead.
Panicked, she flees. When she finally returns home, the scene is nightmarish: blood everywhere, Julius gone, and police at her doorstep.
Now Aida must face the consequences of becoming the monster she married or prove she was always the victim fighting for survival.
