Wounded
She held the rail firmly, staring into the clouds at God knows what.
She's beautiful with a dark swollen eyes. Her skin is soft and light with designs of dark marks on it. Presently there are traces of blood on her skin.
Kpaaa.. " ahhh" she screamed in a loud voice filled with pains. Kpaaa...., it came again. She slowly went on her knees in agony. He dragged her by the hair and pulled her inside. " How dare you serve me a salty food?!!! " he asked. " I'm sorry.., when I tasted it, it wasn't salty, it was normal. " she said.
" oh you are indirectly telling me that I have hypogeusia". He slapped her hard causing her to spit out blood. She was hit over and over again with belt yet he wasn't satisfied. He wanted to hurt her more.
His hands ran down to her skirt. He pulled it forcefully and she tried to resist but he choked her neck, folded his hand into a fist and gave her punches.
He began riding her like a horse forcefully and roughly. " I owe you, I'll do whatsoever that pleases me to you. Your tears gives me joy, your painful screams makes me happy. You're my slave, you were sold to me. Now scream! Scream!!" he said. But she gnashed her teeth in pains, she bit her lower lip allowing the stream of tears run down her beautiful cheeks. She was yet to scream, he slapped her and she let out a loud cry. When he was done, he left the house.
She laid on the cushion helpless. She's had enough of that, she was tired and needs to be free.she got up and went into the bathroom and laid in the bath tub filled with warm water. She had a flashback.
FLASHBACK
"mum please convince dad not to marry me out to Desmond " she said with tears in her eyes.
" I'm sorry dear but if we refuse, Mr Mathew will ruin our lives. You know we owe him huge amount of money which we can't repay. so dear, you must marry Desmond. We are indebted to his family."
"mum I can't believe you're saying this, I curse the day I called you my parents. How can you be so selfish to sell me your only child in the name of marriage just to pay your debts?. Mum Desmond is a beast I can feel it" she cried.
The door opened, the Light turned on. She tapped his lap with an object. "Hey! Why are you standing there like a moron? He asked, trying to be fully awake. She pointed the object at him and he almost jumped out of his skin because of fear. "Hey sweety, calm down. I'm still your sexy husband whom you love and can't hurt, please drop that, I wouldn't want you to get injured OK?" he said trying to convince the so called moron.
she moved closer pointing the object at his brow. He thought she wouldn't do it, immediately he meant to move, kpooo.......(light out). The body fell heavily backwards, blood splashed.
she has PULLED THE TRIGER.
she has killed... HERSELF.
