The first person on my list was no other person than Gerald, my husband. He was the main reason I fled the city in the blasting weather. I closed my eyes and the memories of that night played back in my mind like I was in a  cinema but the difference was that I was watching my life on a screen.

       It was on a Tuesday morning and I had just finished scrubbing Gerald's bathroom floor when he walked in with his mistress. He tapped her ass and she giggled in response. I looked away and quickly made steps to walk out when he called me. “Mira”. My heartbeat was loud enough for the whole world to hear. I was scared for my life. His voice was terrifying for me,it  was my biggest nightmare. 

     “When is this?” He asked, softly. I slowly turned around and my eyes started getting ready for tears. His soft tone was only a sham, he was nothing like that. He moved away from his mistress and bent down to pick a strip. As he raised it up, my whole body trembled. “Are you dead?” He asked, gently. Anytime he spoke like this, his next reaction was either yelling or a hard slap across my face.

       “I am sorry Sir, it might have fallen out of my pocket “ I replied sincerely. I tried to explain when his mistress walked towards him and took it from his hand. “Baby, it is a pregnancy test strip and it is still packed” she examined it. She looked at me and laughed like I was a joke. “Seems like your wife is having daydreams” she laughed harder. Gerald looked at me without words and looked at the pack in his hand. 

     “You think you are pregnant?” He asked with all seriousness but his mistress laughed hard. I was ashamed and scared for myself. This wasn’t the first time he had yelled at me or embarrassed me In front of his mistresses. I had lived and endured every torment, humiliation and pain for six months of my life with a man I knew met and knew till we got married.

        “I am sorry sir”, I avoided his gaze. It was a very terrible thing to do but I took the bull by the horn. I walked out without his permission. “One more step and you will be sorry you have air in your lungs “ he spat. I stood immediately and held myself from tearing up. “You bought this in my house without my consent. Have you been stealing from me?” He asked, walking towards me. 

     I held myself from running away because I knew what accompanied his question.  Just as I expected, he didn’t fail. He came behind me and held my neck forcefully. “Have you been a little thief?” He asked with his breath hot against my neck. “No sir!! I swear. I didn’t steal from you and I haven’t stolen anything from you or anyone in my life. Please sir “ I begged for my life. 

      He held my neck tighter and sniffed my face down to my hairs. “Cheap shampoo, “ he scoffed. I was extremely careful with how I was breathing so I didn't offend him. “How did you get $5.67 to buy a strip?” He asked, breathing hard on my neck. I couldn’t bear it anymore. I struggled like an entangled cat and tried to flee his grip but I couldn’t till he left me. I fell on the floor and tried to crawl away from the bathroom but he stood on my overflowing dress.

      “I asked a question, “ he said with the devil’s eyes. “I swear, you can ask my mom. She got it for me after I complained of my missed period and my weakness and nauseousness” I wiped my tears as I explained. Gerald was disgusted for no reason. He stepped away from my dress and ordered me to do the most ridiculous thing. “Get up! Take the test here “. I couldn’t understand what he was talking about till he yelled it out.

      “Take the goddamn test here!! You want to confirm your stupid imaginations right? Take the test here! Right now”. I was shaking, I stood up and the mockery from his mistress was enough for me to fall down. I missed my steps. I got up again and searched the bathroom for a mini container but there was none. I was too scared to ask Gerald to give me privacy or permission to go get a mini bowl.

     “What are you waiting for?? Get on it!” He lashed out. I sat on the toilet seat and gently pulled down my old underwear. I had bought them two months before I got married to Gerald. I unpacked the strip and silently prayed that it came out negative. I was scared and as a result, the strip dropped. I hurriedly picked it up in fear and started peeing on it gently. I had quickly improvised to save my face.

       In two minutes, I was done and I was waiting for the strip to give a result. I flushed the toilet while Gerald and his mistress stood and watched me like I was an actress in a stage play. The tension in the room was becoming too much and the worst happened. It was positive, I was carrying the child of a monster. At the second glance on the strip, my fear took the bear part of me and I passed out.

         I woke up in an extremely cold bath. As I managed to open my eyes, I saw my husband’s mistress laughing as she added ice to the bathtub I was in. I sneezed twice and she clapped her hands giggling. “I told you sugar,it works like magic”. My head was spinning, my mind was trying to guess what was happening and what I had done again to deserve this. I was still thinking when Gerald held the strip in front of me. Immediately, my memory came back. 

         To confirm my fear, I looked at the strip keenly and it was true. I had a monster’s baby inside of me. “Mira, I am going to ask once! What games are you trying to play?” he asked,coldly. I shivered from the tone of his voice and from the freezing tub I was sitting in. I swallowed my saliva as my throat had dried up. I had no words, just tears. Gerald bent down in front of me and the next thing I felt was a hard slap across my face.

    I held my face and sobbed quietly. “I won’t ask again!” he yelled. “I am not playing any games. I promise”, I begged, stretching my two hands in front of him pleading. “There are two things here, it is either you got this bastard from somebody else or you are thinking like a maggot. Carrying my child would not make me treat you any better. I will ask for the very last time, what madness is this?” he threatened to hit me.

      “Please’ I begged for my life. “I am not playing any games and I didn’t cheat on you. Please” I sobbed out my eyes. His mistress laughed, “cheat? Do you even think any man would find you attractive enough to lie with you? Even the bumps wouldn’t. Sugar, I don’t know why you still fuck her, I am here for you” she held her breasts seductively. Gerald ignored her and fixed all his attention to me. “Mira, you are dumb. Too dumb for somebody with a degree. Why the hell should I believe this thing in you is mine? The pills Mira! They are for what?” he yelled.

      “I obviously do not want children bearing your genes that is why there is a pill at the end of every session with you. It is either you did this for pity or you are carrying a bastard! You slut” he hissed angrily. I shielded my face with my hands because I felt he would hit me again. I had no explanation, I shivered in the tub hopelessly thinking about how I was going to get out of the situation when his mistress added gas to a burning fire.

       “Sugar, don’t get deceived by all her drama. Did you forget that she ran off to her lover two months ago? Your men found her in Queen's hotel. That is enough explanation for this” she hissed. This was the last stroke for Gerald. He concluded and went crazy.”You ungrateful slut!!” He pulled my hair and I screamed in pain. He got up from the tub gradually, following the pace he dragged me with.

    “Can’t you do anything?” Mira wiped her eyes as she watched Gerald escorted by the wardens into prison. Harry squeezed her hand and sighed heavily. “He made his choice, he struck a deal in court and I hate how helpless I am”. His voice, filled with pain as he watched his brother out of sight. “It is funny” Mira laughed bitterly. “You always have someone who you share your day and wins with. Somebody who is willing to listen and make you feel better”. She sobbed softly. “You don’t realize how much they mean to you till the day they leave you”. Mira’s word struck Harry to the bones. He looks at space and memories of Elizabeth filled his mind. “Mira, I need to go” he announced, running back to his car. Mira stood outside the prison’s facility till Craig showed up. “How is he?” She asked him curiously. “He is fine. He asked me to give you this”. Craig handed Gerald’s bracelet to her before walking to his car. She held it closely to

    Rubby hung her hand around me and hugged me tightly. “I am sorry”. She sniffed in my arms. I looked at my mom, she had a pity face on. I signaled her to come over. She rushed to us and we shared a group hug. “Baby” she hugged me and wept softly as we refrained. “Gerald plead guilty” I said coldly. “He already won but He stood up for me and….” I broke down in her arms. “Shhhh. I am here” my mom stroked my hair and it felt comfortable and peaceful. “I thought I wanted him to suffer, but now I can’t bear to see him being put away”. I cried loudly. “He still loves you, Mira” Rubby said dryly. I raised my head and looked at her. “Yes. I have seen how miserable he looked this few days and he still loves you”. She nodded at me. My eyes poured more tears down my face. “I… I don’t know what to do”. I confessed in tears. “Baby, has 46 hours left. Talk to him once. You will feel better”. She assured me. My mom was right

    “Mira, you wanted him to suffer, so this is just revenge for you?” He asked. “Yes! You are right. It is revenge for everything he did to me. He abused me and….”. “Is there a report of this allegation?” Craig interrupted her again. Mira was speechless, she opened her mouth and there were no words, just tears. Gerald battled with my grip on him. His hands were shaking. “Did you make or file a report?” Craig asked again. “No but…Harry….” “Oh you mean his brother you were sleeping with also abused you?” Craig blocked her words before it even left her mouth. “Enough! Stop! Stop!” Gerald stood up and yelled. He walked towards the stand and pushed Craig. “Stop. Enough of this madness”. He yelled. “Mr Lead, return to your seat”. The judge commanded. “No, I will not”. Gerald responded. “He has gone mad,” I whispered. “Your honor, isn’t this obvious. My client is in love with the same woman who is bent on ruining h

    My sitting room became a mini courtroom. It was the second time Harry was preparing me for the stand. “Harry, I got this” I sighed weakly. Harry looked at me and walked towards me like he was about to punch me. “No you don’t, till I feel you are ready, you are not ready”. I swallowed my pride. “The trial is in twelve hours and Naira has never lost a case and she is a blood hungry woman. She won’t rest till she breaks you on the stand! Got it?”. I nodded and took the stand again. Harry went over possible scenarios and prepared me for my response. “Harry, Naira doesn’t have witnesses”. Craig walked up to him. “Does that mean that she bluffed?” He asked. Craig pulled him aside and from the look on their faces, my guts knew something was wrong. “What?” I asked, getting off the mock stand. “Mira is the only witness she has”. Harry said weakly. I fell on the couch with a headache. “This means she will testify against him no matter what w

    Harry’s POV. As soon as I heard their plot, I spoke up. I have been standing for the past two minutes and none of them could tell. They were all filled with range and revenge. “Harry” Craig walked forward but I pushed him out of my way. I went to Gerald and he looked away. “I told you not to do anything! What are you thinking?” I fired at him. “He just lost his company to a woman and you are here beating him for trying to stand for himself” Rubby hissed. “I knew you would be here. A snake trying to get an opportunity to strike! Aren’t you ashamed? Do you have a conscience?” I yelled at her. She looked away and sat down shamelessly. “This is your sister who you never cared about, at first glance you married her husband and now you are here to do what?” I lashed out at her. Craig looked lost and confused. “This is all a means for you to get Gerald, but I will not allow your selfish nature to tear my family apart!”. Rubby looked at me and bat

    Gerald’s POV. Nothing prepared me for the moment I saw Mira in her office sipping coffee. I thought I was prepared but I wasn’t. She looked pale and I couldn’t help but notice her eye bags. “Boss”, Craig opened the door and I walked in. At first glance, my heart sank. I hated the feelings I was getting. The urge to walk forward and hug her. “You don’t have an appointment”, she fired at Craig. Craig laughed and took a seat in front of her. I stood by the door, unable to move an inch. I missed her. “My client and I have a settlement offer for you”. Craig presented a settlement document he suggested would cease the fire before it even started. He signaled me and I walked forward and sat next to him. She picked the document and looked at me. “Really?” She smiled coldly. Her smile frightened me. She slipped through the pages and her facial expression changed. “You can’t depose me as CEO ” she said aggressively.
