Tom's pov
When I went to the market with Mercy a few days ago, I heard the villagers jabbering about Mercy's past, they were shaming her in their native language.
We could hear their whispers though they were talking in hush tones, Mercy's mood dampened immediately.
She disappeared after he and his family shamed her, he made her a laughing stock of the village.
He broke her, but I'm glad he did because she's mine now, and I want the whole world to know that she's mine. I secretly bought an engagement ring for her, today I'm going to propose to her to prove these villagers wrong, she's a Diamond.

Mercy's povPacing back and forth in the living room, my anxiety disorder starting to kick in, I haven't had many attacks lately, for once I felt like a normal person with Tom and Grace by my side what I saw today made me feel like the fool I have always been, they have been having an affair right under my nose.Apart of me wants to believe that there's a valid reason why the lipstick stains were on Tom's chest but another part of me thinks that the answer to that is obvious.Tom did not bother to explain to me why was Grace's lipstick on his chest and why was he leaning so close to her, rather he freshened up and went to bed while my mind was going to burst at any moment from overthinking.I mean shouldn't he try and clarify this to me, or defend himself like other men do when they are caught cheating instead of playing it cool."Tom!"

The noise brought me back to reality I gazed at the white ceiling which does not look like the one I am used to, I tried to wake up to scout where I am and what's causing this unbearable noise, my arm hurt, I looked at it, my eyes widen when I
