Why don't we get a divorce?

Maya stood in the lavish room with her back turned to Jax. Her situation was one that neither god nor man could save her.

It was easy to face her reality and however much she wished it. There was no way to escape it either. It was hopeless to assume that the man would change after Serena's return.

The sounds of the approaching steps hit her ears. With every step that the man took closer to her her heart fell. She was already broken, after seeing all the darker sides to her husband.

Each day she told herself that there was nothing more that he could do to hurt her and each day. He surprised her. She didn't dare assume so in that trying moment.

Jax gently took hold of her hand. Maya tensed. She held her breath involuntarily and tried not to make a sound. Her cries and screams always aided in adding to his anger and making her situation worse.
