Family is beautiful, its one of the first thing a new life is accustomed with. The love, the care, the sense of belonging and so much more. And as much as a family is a blessing, it can sometimes become an eternal curse...

My eyes shot open as they finally rested on the man I was supposed to marry, the last man I would ever consider if I had a choice, the last man I'd rather die than marry.

My boss. Mr Liam Richards.

"Uh Hell no." I said out loud as I tried to walk away from the alter.

"If you leave now then I would consider this as the Hudson family going back on their word and all investments so far will be withdrawn and charges will be pressed towards the company and your family." Liam said.

I watched as he had this oddly satisfying look on his face as if he'd just won some sort of mind game, I looked back to the crowd behind me and within them I saw Patricia scowling at me, Veronica already in tears but worst of all was the glimmer of hope in my father's eyes.

I took a deep breath turning around, I told myself that this was all for my mother and nothing else, I would do for my father this one last favour with my life.

My name is Cyra Hudson Richards and this is the story of how my life was taken from me.

My Husband's Therapist

The sound of water running could be heard outside the bathroom. Cyra stood in front of the sink collecting warm water in a bowl. As soon as the bowl was full she rushed out to Liam.

She took a small stool under one of the tables, and placed the water on top. She went back to get another bowl of cold water to bring down his temperature.

After she had gotten two white towels from the bathroom, Cyra soaked one in cold water squeezed it and placed it on Liam's head. She pressed the second towel but paused, slowly, she picked up Liam's bloody hand, why did he react that way?

It wasn't like she meant that much to him for him to almost beat a man to death for her sake. But in the end, everything he did, he did for her.

She cleaned the blood off his hands trying hard to hold back her tears, Liam was calm now, the medicine must have surpassed the pain enough to have put him to sleep.

Could this be...?
