This was not how I had imagined my life to turn out. I had thought that I would be having fun when I was twenty one not stuck in a loveless marriage. People always said that one had multiple choices but it does not seem so to me because life kept making me wonder why I was even alive in the first place. I was living every girl's dream but it seemed like torture. Every girl wanted to be married to a rich guy who gave them everything they wanted and I had all that but I still wasn't happy. Maybe money wasn't always the solution to happiness. You could not use it to buy affection for the guy that you wanted. Every day was the same it was like I was living the same day over and over again. Wake up take a shower get ready, take breakfast and do whatever I pleased to do for the rest of the day. I had not seen Vincenzo for over two weeks and we had barely talked either I know what it sounds like, that am a bad wife but I wasn't really. That was what he wanted and I gave him that. He would be stuck on trips for weeks and not even say a word to me. Sometimes I wondered what I was to him. Maybe I was just a decoration that he had. He would get to tell people "oh I have a wife". I did not want to be a wife let alone a girlfriend but desperate times call for desperate measures. I got off the bed and went by the window to pull the drapes. I tried tugging on them but they couldn't budge as I sighed in frustration. I had been on edge lately I couldn't point out what the problem was and it was not my monthly lady issues. On top of being stuck in a marriage where I wasn't living, I had not had sex in forever. Maybe it wasn't such a big deal but it was the reason I was so frustrated all the time. Someone knocked on my door and I wondered who it was. "Come on in ", I said as I sat on my bed. "Good morning ma'am", said Aliya as she bowed down. "Good morning and please don't call me ma'am it makes me feel old ", I said chuckling. "What can I do for you this morning?", I asked her. "Mr. Vincenzo is requesting your presence for breakfast ", she said smiling. "What, then did he come back ?", I asked her. "Last night ma'am ", she said and I was too infuriated to even remind her to stop calling me ma'am. "Tell him I'll be there once I'm done doing something in here," I said as she bowed and left. Why did I even put myself in a situation like this? The first time in my life that I ever had the freedom of my own and I just threw it away to be with a guy like him? He could not even come to my room to tell me that he was back and in case you haven't guessed we slept in different rooms. I was hurt, to say the least, but I knew how he would react when I told him. He would assume it like everything else I had said for the last couple of months. To him, I was supposed to be contented with everything that he gave me which in this case was money. There was nothing else that he could offer me. I had seen girls leave his room over and over again but I wasn't meant to complain. I chose this life for myself and I knew what was in store for me. It was just another day that was ruined by my husband Mr. Vincenzo Morello. After taking a shower and dressing up I left the room and made my way downstairs to the dining area where he was seated. A feast was prepared in front of him and he smiled when he saw me. "Good morning darling you took your time I see ", he said. "There wasn't anything I was rushing to see ", I said as I sat down. "Well I thought you of all people would be happy to see am back ", he said. "You mean I was supposed to be happy to k ow that you are back through a maid ?", I ask him. "Well isn't it still the same thing ?", he asked me. "I didn't know you forgot the way to my room", I said as one of the maids served me breakfast. "Am sorry I was tired when I came in I just thought I would see you in the morning instead ", he said. I sometimes wondered why I had accepted to marry him. Maybe it was for his looks and money. But being the most wanted bachelor came with its price. I was stupid to think that he would change for me. That he would realize how good I was and want to mend his ways but nothing as that existed. I had yet sucked myself into something that I did not know how to get myself out of. "You look so far away what are you thinking of?", he asked me. "Ways of killing you ", I said. "Wow you getting crafty I see ", he said laughing it off. I wasn't lying. If it were possible to kill someone and not get jailed for it then maybe I would have already done it. Death was the only way out of this marriage. "Do you want to get rid of me that quickly ?", he asked me with a serious look on his face. "You have no idea ", I said. "Well love what can I say you are stuck with me for life how about you start enjoying this because it's the only thing you've got ", he said as he stood up to leave. "And I forgot to tell you we have a ball to attend so I already sent a dress for you it will be here in like one hour, get ready and I don't want you to embarrass me so be on your best behavior", he said as he left.I couldn't remember when it had first started . All I remember when it all started feeling weird. It was my fifth birthday, and no matter how much I had tried to ignore it, I knew then that it wasn't right .In what world was it okay for a dad to take pictures of his son's junk on his birthday? I was a child, but I still knew it was wrong.O couldn't tell anyone he had said he would hurt my mom if I did. He had said that I would wake up, and she wouldn't be there anymore. I believed him, couldn't you?I had seen the way he beat my mom on several occasions, which was not something I was willing to trust. I did not want to wake up and not have a mother.I remember just telling myself that maybe we were just playing around, just like he had told me. He had said that fathers and their sons did things like this together. I remember when he did the same things with Raul, but I couldn't ask him because that was technically me telling.I remember him saying how much he loved me, and if I told
SCARFACE'S POV.How could I ever hate him? I knew it was supposed to hate him. I was the way I was because if he had taken away the chance of me growing up like a normal person, but I couldn't bring myself to hate him.He had never meant to hurt me the way he had. Everyone was mad at him, and not the person who deserved the hate.I knew he hated himself. Every time he looked at me, I'm sure he always wondered why he had done what he did. Am sure he thought that if he hadn't done what he did, then I would have had a normal life, but I never had a normal life.There was no universe where I was going to have a normal life. Kids didn't get touched by their parents; what kind of life would I have had then?He was never going to top touching us; he had to be stopped. I wasn't sad he was dead; I was sad that he was my father .I was so disgusted that my own dad got turned on by just looking at me. I was angry that he would look at a small boy and just think of ways he would use me.I hated
I didn't know how long the man had been standing there watching me; all I knew was when I realised it had been too late already.-----------The aching in my head made him instantly hate the bright light in the room. Who in their right mind liked his light that bright?My eyes quickly adjusted to my surroundings, and I started panicking. I could see a dark figure standing in the shadow. I tried opening my mouth, but my mouth was so dry that the small movement alone hurt like hell.How long had I been out for?"I see you're finally awake ", said someone behind me with a raspy voice.I tried turning around, but my neck hurt too. Couldn't any part of my body function?"Don't worry, my associate injected you with something, but the effects will wear off soon enough. Don't worry. I know it's very uncomfortable right now, but that's the process of playing with people way above your level of involvement ", the man who had yet shown his face said. Who did this man think I was? I was just a 1
It had been days since the accident, and every single night, I stayed awake crying and begging God to save my baby brother. I didn't know if he was hearing me or not; all I knew was that I needed him to answer me one way or another. I couldn't live with myself if he didn't make it. How could I ever hate my mother? Would she ever love me if she knew that I was the reason her husband was dead and her son was lying lifeless in a hospital bed, barely recognisable?We had found a place to stay, and it was mostly just me in the house. I had seen my mother approximately three times in the span of a week. She looked tired all the time; bags under her eyes meant that she was not getting any sleep. I knew it was absurd to notice, but she had gotten smaller.It was as if, finally, this was the one thing that had completely broken her. She looked lifeless. She looked like a marionette that was just being moved around with no sense of direction.She had barely spoken to me, and I didn't know how t
