I am considered to be faithful to my husband even when he doesn't need it. Sorry quick introduction because I have to go and fix breakfast. I'm Verona,22,have a son named Derek and husband Axel. I had left the bathroom after doing my hygiene routine then made my way over to start breakfast when something caught my eye it was the TV.

All I saw was a giant hole in the tv as of someone threw something out of bitterness or just as a mere accident. Derek was standing looking at the broken tv and crying his little eyes out saying how sorry he was after he explained to me it was an accident and he was just playing a game when the controller slipped. I went into our room grabbed my phone picked him up rocked him telling the little 5 year old it was okay and put him in our closet for the upstairs attic.

Chapter 1

 I had woken up out of bed and put on my robe. With this blank expression on my face because of this boring ass life called my marriage. I am considered to be faithful to my husband even when he doesn't need it. Sorry quick introduction because I have to go and fix breakfast. I'm Verona,22,have a son named Derek and husband Axel. I had left the bathroom after doing my hygiene routine then made my way over to start breakfast when something caught my eye it was the TV.

All I saw was a giant hole in the tv as of someone threw something out of bitterness or just as a mere accident. Derek was standing looking at the broken tv and crying his little eyes out saying how sorry he was after he explained to me it was an accident and he was just playing a game when the controller slipped. I went into our room grabbed my phone picked him up rocked him telling the little 5 year old it was okay and put him in our closet for the upstairs attic. Told him don't open this door no matter what you hear I need you to stay in here Derek... Please.

As and harsh as I may have sounded I knew Axel was going to be getting up any minute. I also knew that I could be the one to stop whatever was to escalate from this situation. I closed the door and heard a small click knowing he had locked the door. Then hearing big foot steps down the way and then I saw him my husband his brown skin, hair in a ponytail, beard not even cut and that awful smell from last night of us having sex and foul odor of Jack Daniels Whiskey. He didn't even say good morning before he went off about me not making breakfast then grabbed a bud light beer from the fridge making his way over to the couch.

Once he got there then I knew he noticed the tv because of his facial expression from me to the tv then me. Placing his beer down he stood up and asked what happened to the fucking tv. I had just said it was an accident not even a moment before anything else could come out I felt a punch dead in my jaw then collapsing onto the floor spitting out blood while holding onto my face. He stood above me like the devil himself. He then back-hand slapped me until it felt numb on my whole left side of my face. The blood I could barely see cause he punched me dead in my eye. He grabbed that belt and that beer as much as I wanted to scream I knew I could because I wanted to be strong for my son. The cracking, and the piercing pain went through my body like a hot iron did on flesh the pain was real but I just laid on the floor making not one attempt because of this pain. I've felt from even my own family from when I was raped by my own Stepdad. Axel saw I couldn't move but he drunk his beer then I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen where it was just constantly hurting the number of kicks he gave were unimaginable.

In the back of my mind I kept on thinking Lord when will you save me from this man that chooses to beat rather than love and protect. His stomps were enough to make you paralyzed the constant fear of dying as too much but he knew deep down it was too deep so he threw a towel to me told me to clean up and to go upstairs so we could have sex. I wiped the blood from my broken nose and bloody lips then part of my face. Then I heard him slam the door just as he drove off I heard another click and had crawled over to grab my son he had his hands covered over his small ears and the expression was like him losing his favorite toy he cried so loud I covered his mouth and just hugged him tight. Hugged him because he was my only source in living now and we needed get out in a hurry from him but he just sucked his thumb and cried. I rocked him while comforting and singing to him as though a mother should. Soon as he fell asleep I carried him to his room then closed the door stumbling to the bathroom then looking at myself in the mirror. Thinking how could you love someone who is suppose to nurture you and your child. Do everything possible to protect and yet they broke that vow?

Chapter 2

I poured the alcohol onto the cotton ball and rubbed my scars and bruises. Now I know some people would say go to the hospital but its not that easy. I have a job but it makes me okay I guess and my son I have no idea what will happen the pain and bitterness is there but I need to try later tonight I need to leave and take Derek with me never come back. Just as I laid in the bed I heard a car door close and closed my eyes then prayed, prayed for whatever was beyond these walls was willing to make it right. Axel came in the house with flowers and  chocolates in hand ran up the stairs to comfort Verona.

He came on her bed side then kissed my forehead and left the flowers on my dresser and chocolates too then went downstairs. He unplugged the tv then put it in the trash and picked up the glass. Just as he finished picking up the glass cleaning it off then looked at the floor after dumping the glass and saw blood. He looked and saw the blood trail up the stairs then to there sons room. That’s when he lost it, woke his son up and to come with him the little boy quietly and obediently followed his father to the attic and closed the door.

Hours after they went to the attic Derek was on the floor with blood dripping from his mouth. Verona had woken up and went to check on Derek she walked to his room while Axel was asleep. She couldn’t find him in the room frantically searching for her son. She opened the door to the attic Derek then was shaking and cold with blood all on the floor. Coming to his aid held him she asked him what happened. His lip quivered then he stuttered and spoke Papa brought me in here and he ... He.... Verona knew then what he had done to her boy and had gotten up carried him to the car and grabbed the keys went to get his bear Benji when Axel heard the noise of the car .

He grabbed Verona by her hair and pulled her tight asking Where the Hell you think you going bitch? He then threw her and she had slid on the floor having her head hit the corner of the wall and she held her head as she felt blood. Something in her mind told her to get up she stumbled before he tackled her to the couch and punched her she kicked and screamed as her fingernails dug into her skin just above his eye. He growled in pain then stood up and took of his pants and just as he was about to rape her. Verona heard a crack like a broken piece of glass Axel fell to the ground and she had seen her neighbor holding a back of the toilet seat and saw blood pour from Axels head.
