Chapter 38 HIS CONFESSION

“Why… Mona… Why…”

I hear a loud voice and then something rips open my heart, feeling immense pain, I wake up, panting heavily.

“You’re awake…” I hear a voice full of concern and turn in the direction, my bruised face hurts a little, and again I widen my eyes as I see my cruel husband sitting beside me.

“I know you’re angry, scared, and hurt by me but please let me explain first.” He holds my wrist as I shake my head showing my denial and then try to get up.

“Tessy, stop, please…” He pins me down on the bed and pleads with a firm voice but his eyes seem genuinely concerned.

I stop moving because it hurts every inch of my body, “So, will you listen to me?” He asks and I nod my head in agreement.

He retreats and sits beside me, keeping some pillows at my back, he helps me to sit properly.

“Did… Did I do this?” He asks pointing at my face and I shake my head immediately, “I fell.” I tell him and he sighs in relief.
