Chapter 7

Later that evening,she was feeling feverish. She had been feeling similarly since last week.

I think I will take some medications..shebthought to herself

When master Clinton comes back, I will tell him and know if he will assist me with the medications.

Moreover,I'm his property. Just that there isn't any receipt..she laughed at her own joke.

She hasn't really been feeling comfortable since she told Leonel ( lee for short) about helping her

She has been anxious about knowing the result of his findings

She just hoped that this wasn't a bad idea..

She hoped he doesn't escalate things for me. Else she's dead.

She sat in the living room waiting for him(Leonel) to come back.

Clinton and Lee were supposed to meet at the office and she hoped they could discuss there before coming home.

After a while,she heard the sound of Clinton's car enter the garage. She became anxious

She just tried to comport myself

Lee walked in first. He shot her a dangerous look. She walked over to him quickly to know what happened

Do not take any step further..he thundered.

Else I will hurt you. With that he took long furious strides to his room.

She stood, stupefied. Just this morning they were talking. She had not seen him since then not to talk of offending him. What went wrong.

She heard footsteps behind her and she turned to see Clinton

Had he been here all along?

His eyes were red with anger.

As he drew closer to her,she shuddered in fear

He grabbed her by the arm without saying a word, and pulled her upstairs with him.

She knew this was going to be a very long night.

He threw her on the bed like she had no weight. She fell close to it and hit her head on one of the beds structures. She touched her head and it was bleeding

He dragged her up by the collar and left her to land on the bed

He started to punch her first. As he did memories of yesteryears began to flood his mind and he was no longer in control of himself .

He punched her continuously in the face. When he felt satisfied he stood to pull his belt out.

She sat up and started begging

Please I'm begging you to stop. You will hurt me. I have a high fever already and I haven't been feeling alright lately

Please don't hurt me. She continued to beg him

That's what she did, but he didn't listen

That's what we said but he didn't listen

We cried. So bitterly. But he wouldn't even look at us.

He shot him after all the please,

he raped her after all the requests, it still didn't move him

I'm going to show you how my mother felt that fateful day.

How WE felt on that day.. he said stressing the we

Her eyes widened in disbelief. She didn't know her father to be that way.
