My husband is the real Devil

I guess this is where I should have been surprised, but somehow, I wasn't surprised. I mean with what he did the previous day, and what he showed me, why should I be surprised that he was behind all of my troubles?

All I wanted to know was what I ever did wrong to him, to make him hate me that much.

We were a happy couple, we did things together, we live together, we went places together, we even had a child together, so what did I ever do to him, to make him hate me this much?

I looked up at Craig, and asked.

"But why? He raised a brow, and stared at me with wide eye.

"Are you really asking me that? Isn't it obvious? Your husband, is a well known paediatrician, if the world finds out, that aside being a paediatrician, he also does drugs, he will go down, He will loose his license, he will loose everything, and then, you had to find out, which was bad for him". I shook my head as to how one could be wrongly accused and misunderstood.

"But I didn't even know what he was giving to the Bradfords the night I walked in on them. I only recognized the face of the Bradfords brothers, I think about three of them, they were in the study with him, they left the house almost immediately, and it was only when they left, that I went to him and spoke to him about my thoughts.

I begged him not to have anything to do with them, that they were bad news, and he agreed, telling me they needed him to help a child privately". I explained, with tears gushing down like streams of hot water, hurting me and piercing my heart. All the while, I had always thought that my husband was quick to send me away because he was disappointed in me, you know, about the picture, and he didn't want it to tarnish his image, but I never knew it was his plans all along.

"And that is not all, he doesn't only do drugs, he also traffic women and children". Craig says and I forgot all the pains in my body and jumped on him.

"What? I exclaims, and I started breathing hard. A lot was running through my mind at the same time, but in all, I was thinking of my daughter.

Who knows what other thing he does, and why didn't I ever get to know these things about him?

Craig you need to save my child, please you have to. If you brought me here, because you think I am a friend, then please help my child, please I beg you". I cried, holding on to his shirt, as I allowed my tears drench him, he gathered me in his arms and consoled me, the same way I used to console him back then, when I find him crying. I used to think it was because he was being bullied, but now, I guess it's because he misses his parents.

"Don't worry Mrs Samantha, I will do everything in my power to help you". He says, and I broke down even more. I finally have someone to call a friend. At this point in my life, the only kind of friend I need, is one bigger than my husband, who could fight for me. I hugged him even closer, as I felt better in his arms. We finally disengaged, and he bent down to look into my eyes.

"You will have to go to my house in New York. It's a big house with huge security, and I will be there too, I need to see how I can get you to see your daughter". He says and I shook my head.

"No Craig, I don't just want to just see her, I want her with me, please make that happen". I begged, and he held my hand out.

"I could do that, but that would be kidnapping, she is still a child". He reminds me.

"A child who is currently abused by her own father? I retorted.

"Yes, I know, and that is what we have to prove. I am gathering all my proof to nail your husband". I was already tired of hearing him call Edward my husband, so I yelled.

"Stop calling him my husband! The way I yelled, shocked him that he raised a brow, before he finally smiles.

I am sorry". I lowered my voice, realizing that I just transferred aggression on him.

"Oh no, you don't have to apologize, I know how you feel, and I take the blame for everything that happened to you, and I am also willing and prepared to make it right, just calm down". He consoled me, and the way he stared at me, sent shivers down my spine, that I couldn't look into his eyes. He was holding my hands, and looking into my eyes, but I couldn't look back.

What is even wrong with me? This used to be my students, he was about sixteen years old, five years ago, but now, he should be about twenty one years old, he is still a child to me, I should not be shy to look at his face, but even after thinking I should be smart and wise, I was still very shy, I quickly got up from the seat, and moved briskly out of his sight, but I didn't know where I was going, so I just got to the door, and stood.

From the corners of my eyes, I could sense him smiling. I wondered when he gathered all this bravery.

"I will have miss Juliana attend to your every need. I will be back". He says and left me, without looking back even for one minute. I was all alone again, and I felt so alone, it almost felt like I had never been alone before. I don't know if I am being scared, but staying alone, suddenly made me feel like someone was watching me, minutes later, I saw a middle aged lady walk in with a broad smile on her face.

"You must be Samantha, you look really pretty". She says, dropping a glass of Lemonade in front of me with a tray, I received it gladly, but refused to believe that I am still pretty.

Maybe I used to be pretty, but not after all that had happened to me.

I guess she noticed the way I was looking at her, which made her add.

"Master Craig said I should show you to your room". I needed a bed badly, not to sleep, but to rest my back, my entire body aches.

She walked before me, while I followed behind. She led me to a very big room, and I furrowed in amazement.

You need to rest, I will be back with your meal, and don't worry, everything will be fine". The way she was talking to me, was more like she have known me, longer than the few minutes ago, we just met. I kept looking at her In a suspicious way, till she was out of sight.

I drank all the lemonade, without dropping the glass, then I relaxed my back against the pillow, only to fall asleep within seconds.
