I'll be back

I looked at him with irritation from head to toe , I never wanted to be part of this arranged marriage but what do you I know my opinion don't matter at all at least that was what I was taught as a girl when growing up ."I..I..I "I stammered just then I recalled what led to me coming at this time ."you still have the guts to ask me that ikedi after you knocked out child down and didn't give a damn if she is alright or not what kind of father are you huh??you have done nothing than let our child watch you physically assaulting me can't you at least pretend til she's away "I mustered the courage to reply him keeping quiet won't help any longer " you have the audacity to talk back at me you slut , tell me how many men touched you tell me how many men entered that hole bitch " he smirked while trying to reach for his belt , I already know what will happen next so I won't let it repeat again holding ella I picked her carrying her on my back I dashed out of house ."come back here foolish woman "I heard ikedi yell from behind still running after me I had to activate my running mode now I ran as fast as my legs can go , "mommy why are we running I'm getting uncomfortable"ella said with a low but fearful voice , if I lag for the slightest minute ikedi will catch up with us "Ella my princess can you hold on for a little while " I replied holding both her legs tightly my legs were sore I still haven't recovered from that beast earlier beating where will I go from here? what does the future have for my daughter and I ? Should I go back? All these endless questions kept on swirling in my head when I came across an orphanage immediately a thought flashed in my mind "no no I can't do that " but then I'm left with no other option , I retraced my steps back then sigh deeply "this is the best option"I brought ella down to stand then I bend to her level looking into her eyes that held fear in them "ella you know mommy loves you right "i asked trying to blink back the tears threatening to fall down , ella nodded he head "yes I love you too mama"Ella replied sharply "Ella do you know what this place is??"I asked , she shaked her head in a no "This place is a place where lots of kids your age play together ,there's also a playground and toys "she looked at me sternly "so ella will you wait for me here while I go buy you lots of chocolates "I stated with hope that she believes my alibi "Nooooo I will follow you"ella pleaded " aren't you mom's brave girl or don't you trust me?? " I kissed her cheeks "I do " ella replied "then believe me I'll come back with plenty toys will you wait??"ella thought before replying "OK I'll wait but be fast "she jumped up excitedly after hearing chocolate and toys . I pulled her to hug her tightly "mommy you are choking me " I released her from the hug I wiped the tears from my eyes "good now go inside make sure you stay out of danger "I caressed her cheeks and watched her go out of sight I know ikedi won't rest until he finds me "God help me "I murttered a silent prayer as I walked through the bush path until I came to an express way "where do I go now ??"I asked myself lost in thought that I couldn't see the car approaching when I looked up "AAA aah" I screamed as the force from the car hit  sent me flying before bringing me down to the ground with the same force.
