Chapter 5

He who says the storm was over was seriously lying, because it just began as Edward had started deriving pleasure in hitting me for just no cause.

Barely dome days after the first assault, another spare headed it face.

what really happened you might wonder.

well it was a thing between the husband and the wife.

yes! it was my marital duty to ask my husband for his body any time and any where I want, and this time, that was what I wanted.

As I laid beside him on the bed and caress his body up and down, I got a reluctant air as he kept on moving away from me as if I were filthy.

Not minding his reaction, I continued my pleasure,and to my ultermost disbelief, edward took my hand and roughly shoved it away, stating to me that I had no right to touch his body when he wasn't in the mood.

I sat up straight and pointed to him that he had once stood at the alter and mowed to make his body mine and mine his, so why would he now be refusing my touch.

I got a shock of my life as he slapped me hard across the face and told me never to disturb him while he wanted to rest, stating to me that I would never know the true meaning of stress because I had never had any work to do in my life.

The slap he gave me that night had removed every form of pleasure from me and I vowed never to allow him touch me again.

Some five days after this episode, it was his turn.

This time i was in no mood for anybody's anger or tongue lashing as I lay across the bed at my own side while using the blanket to cover my self up.

He had just come in from wherever God knows he was and I was gentle laying down, not sleeping but also not opening my eyes to look at him at all.

If I could deduce anything from how he came in, that would only be knowing he was drunk and smelt badly of alcohol.

oh God not again was all my mind could think of as I felt a hand roughly pull the blanket off my half naked body.

I opened my eyes to see his figure staring at my body and licking his lips like it had found something to devour.

Some minutes later, I found myself pleasing with him to let me be as I was not in the mood for such thing. instead of listening to me, he forcefully took hold of my two legs dragging it to him while he was between them.

He ripped up my panties and tore off my clothes while forcing himself on me and with everything thrust he made into me,I could see my self rip apart and slowly I grudgingly agreed as I stopped struggling and allowed him free access as he continued thrustibg into me really hard not minding if I was his wife or some prostitute.

He finally released his seed inside me, and stood to get up and all I could do was rush into the bathroom to get his smell off my already dishourned body.

What else was a woman to do at this situation, when the man was the stronger one and she the weaker.

only time would tell when this would end.

The morning came and again like a lost sheep he prepared himself and off to work he went, pretending as if nothing had happened between us the previous night.

Although I hadn't stop greeting him, but this particular morning as I woke up,I just pretended to continue sleeping as I heard him grumpy to himself about how jobless and lazy I was before he finally left the room and drove out of the premises.

Immediately, I stood up, said my prayers and headed to my children's room to wake them up for the day, then went to the kitchen to prepare them something to eat.

After checking the kitchen, i soon found out we were out of groceries and I remembered that I had forgotten to collect my monthly allowance from my husband.

wow! what would I do now?

I remembered having some loose change with me and mother that, I gave my children money for their food, went to my room to get prepared in order to go to Edwards office to try some money for food stuffs from him.

I drove my children to school and headed straight for his office.

since I was the bosses wife, everyone in his office knew me including his secretary so I didn't need any formal permission to get into his office but on this particular day, as soon as I entered the bank and saw his secretary I found out she was acting weird, reasons why, I do not know.

I surged it off and went to say hello to her, then headed straight to Edwards office.

Before I could enter, she quickly backoned on me, making me halt in my steps.

yes? I answered

Ma will you pls wait so I can inform the boss about your presence? she asked

why would you need to do that, this is not the first time I would be coming here without his permission so there is no need for that or is he having a meeting? I asked

No ma he as no meeting, but he as a visor in his office, she said

is the visitor official or unofficial, I asked

Ma, I don't know about that, neither do I know the kind of relationship they have, I said

Anyway don't bother yourself, I will just go into his office and see my self, I said.

As I walked into his office, what I saw almost left me blind.

O MY GOD! What is this? Edward with another woman on the desk? o God!.

I Ran out immediately never looking back to know if anyone was following me or not.

soon after I had left the office,it became clear to me that he didn't even mind seeing me neither did he run after me, as I went home and cried my eyes out,thinking if where I had gone wrong.

That very day, he never returned home and after I had waited up for him uptown the morning, it was clear that he wasn't coming home.

I went to sleep with no food in my stomach but I tried to find my children something to eat before they went to bed.
