My name is Jasamina McCully and I am twenty years old.

Two years ago, my parents forced me to marry a rich congressman named Ludale McCully. A forty-five year old man that turned out to be the most abusive man on the whole planet.

"To save my family from poverty." My mother had said to me as she pushed me to marry the forty-five year old man. I was crying and begging my parents but they didn&#x27;t listen. I was just a means to an end.

He abused and beat me within an inch of my life for the past two years. Everytime I get the chance, I try to escape and every single time he finds me.

Then, he punishes me for ever trying to leave. The punishment is always worst than death. Because of that, I never tried to escape again.

My name is Jasamina and I am a girl afraid of her husband because I know what he can do. But I&#x27;m also a mother. 

After giving birth to my baby two months ago and loving him with my whole life...I know a time will come when I have to choose between being scared of my husband or trying to survive with my little boy.

The time came soon. 
It&#x27;s either to survive or die by Dale&#x27;s hand.

I made the choice to TRY and survive. 

It&#x27;s just that sometimes...even choices are against you. Sometimes, even the choice can be taken from you.

My name is Jasamina McCully. 
And this is the story of my life.


THE HOMELESS BILLIONAIRE

I'm giving Jaimie his evening bath smiling, the way he's growing is really surprising. He was giggling and playing with the soap.

He stared at me and flashed gums without teeth in them. "Yaiii!"

"Yaii!" I shot right back as I ran my hand all over his little body. I splashed little water on him and he laughed out loud.

"You love playing with water, don't you?" I said splashing more water on him.

I've never seen a child who loves water morw like him. Not that I've seen many children of course. I'm the only child of my parents and I'm just twenty years old.

I brought my mind back to the present and stared at my child good naturedly. "Will you want me to put you back at the tub if I bring you out again?"

"Yaii!" He beat his hand in the water, splashing it.

I laughed a little and carried him out of the water. The smile cleared from his face, he cooed sounds as if in complaint.
