After he released my chin…
I stepped back immediately.
My entire body trembling.
But he just stood there.
Watching me.
Like he was waiting for something.
An apology maybe.
Or fear.
I honestly didn’t know anymore.
The room felt too small.
Too quiet.
I could barely breathe properly.
“I’m talking to you,” he said finally.
“I’m sorry,” I whispered quickly.
Even though deep down…
I wasn’t even sure what I was apologizing for anymore.
His expression remained cold.
“You embarrassed me,” he said.
“I didn’t mean to,” I replied softly.
“Then why is your sister looking at me like I’m some kind of monster?”
I stayed silent.
Because the truth was…
For the first time
Someone else had finally seen it too.
He laughed bitterly.
Then suddenly
“Maybe I’ve been too soft with you.”
My heart dropped instantly.
“What?” I whispered.
Before I could even process his words
SLAP!
The force sent my head sideways immediately.
Everything around me froze.
The room.
The silence.
Even my breathing.
My hand slowly touched my cheek.
Pain burned through my skin.
But somehow…
The shock hurt more.
I looked at him in disbelief.
Because no matter how bad things had gotten…
A part of me never truly believed he would hit me.
But he did.
And the scariest part?
He didn’t even look sorry.
He looked angry.
As if I caused it.
Tears filled my eyes instantly.
But I refused to cry loudly.
I refused to give him that.
“You made me do that,” he said coldly.
That sentence shattered something inside me completely.
Because suddenly…
I understood.
This would not be the last time.
Fear gripped my chest tightly.
He noticed the look on my face and sighed deeply.
Then just like that
His tone changed again.
“Look what you’re turning this marriage into,” he said quietly.
Marriage?
Was this what he called marriage?
Pain.
Fear.
Control.
I slowly stepped away from him.
And for the first time in a very long time…
One thought entered my mind clearly.
I need to leave.
