1 Chapter 1

I am seated on a rocking chair in my house patiently waiting for my husband to arrive from his office, hoping he comes back in one piece, because these days he just comes back either drunk or angry with me for some reason i don't know.

My thoughts are interrupted as i hear a big bang of the door my husband makes as he enters the sitting room which makes me jump up startled and surprised bcs today he is neither drunk or angry just a little bit pissed, which i can live with.

"Welcome back dear" i say trying to unknot his tie as he shakes my hand away and says the most ridiculous thing to me "I want a divorce" .

I decide not to say anything regards that topic and i go over to our wedding picture across the room and stare at it for a while before laying the face down. "Your food is set at the table, that is even if you haven't eaten in one of your mistresses house before coming here." I say sounding sarcastic at the end as i hear his loud thumps coming towards me fear growing within me as he roughly turns me to face him as i feel a stinging pain across my face."

"What in the world did you just say to me?" He asks angrily while i shake under his gaze silently so that i don't say something that makes him more angry with me to do something that wakes our children. But unfortunately that makes him more angry as he pushes me in the direction of the table lamp at the corner as i slam into it falling to the floor as it makes a loud crash on the floor. I suddenly our eldest child(around sixteen years)was up studying late for his promotional examinations. As if hearing my thoughts, he rushes downstairs curious to know the condition of things.

"Oh my God, mom. Are you okay?" He asks giving me a caring look in the eyes as he turns his head in the direction of his father giving him an angry glare, they always say the mother is the best friend of the son who new it was true. "Yeah am fine. I wasn't careful where i was going that's why. Uhn careless me. "I say trying to cover the obvious truth. As he walks towards me to help me up while looking at his father who doesn't even show a sign of emotion.

He helps me to a chair while searching for any wounds on my skin. " Honey, I'm okay. You just go back to your studying you know you have to make momma proud." I try giving him a smile. He nods in approval and kisses me on the forehead. He and his younger sister always made me proud with their character in a whole and its like they are my only reason for staying with my husband.

After a long silence, I stand up to take my leave as I hear a voice behind me that stops me in my tracks "I give you 48 hours to agree to what i said earlier to avoid any more of what i just did to you." I don't even bother to look back at him as i make my way to thee room to sleep over this night.
