THE PERFECT HUSBAND

In Rivercity, twelve-year-old Adrian hid underneath the table, trembling as his mother screamed with each blow she received. Adrian covered his ears, counting, but the sound of her crying made him cry, too. Meanwhile, Helena looked up at , tears streaming down her face as she lay on the floor. She spat out a tooth along with a mouthful of blood. “David, please… I'm beggingyou. I am sorry.” David kicked her stomach, then staggered back breathlessly, struggling to keep his balance. “You’re starting to disrespect me, Helena! You think you can cheat on me with little boys, and I wouldn’t find out? Huh? You think I wouldn’t know?” Helena began crawling toward the kitchen. Every part of her body ached, but she had to get out. He was drunk, as usual, but she had never seen him this angry. She slowly got up, ignoring the blood rolling down her inner thigh to the floor, and reached for the pot on the stove filled with water she had heated for his bath. David followed her into t

James grunted deeply as he released inside Adrian. Panting, he slid out and slowly removed the pillow from Adrian’s face while moving back. Adrian ’s legs fell off his shoulders while James’s dick got limp.He looked closely, but Adrian was still. Panic surged through him as he quickly grabbed his pants, sweat dripping from his brow. He picked up Adrian ’s limp body with his heart pounding. Taking Adrian’s shorts, he hurriedly dressed him before lifting him and stepping out of the house.Fear coursed through Adrian’s veins as he thought of what his brother would say. He walked out of the yard carrying Adrian toward the clinic desperately, trying to piece together a story he could tell the nurses.At the clinic, Helena stepped out of the doctor’s office, holding a few sachets of pills. She walked past the long queue, her eyes searching for the man who had helped her.Flynn stood as soon as he spotted her. “Are you okay? What did the doctor say?”“I lost the baby.” She spoke quietly.

Adrian looked at the house then stared at her. “What did you just say?” “You heard me. I want a lift.” He watched her walk round the car then jumped in holding her handbag. She put on the seatbelt and sighed. “We can go.” He looked at his phone then drove off. Faye looked at him momentarily then turned ahead. “My mother is married. My dad is a good man. He loves her and goes over and above for us.” Adrian remained silent trying to digest the situation. He looked at his tattoos on his hands wondering if at the interview that would discredit him. Most probably. It had happened before but he had now leant to keep his hands far away during interviews. Faye shook her head. “And for you to do those things on my father’s bed! In his house!” Adrian slowed down then turned the wheels joining the road. “I am talking to you!” “I’m going to a barber to get my haircut, you can jump off anywhere between here and there. I’m not responsible for what you saw. Go and confront your mother a

The Chinese boss staggered back. Adrian clenched his jaw.“I have taken your abuse for far too long. If you dare speak to me like that ever again, I promise you, I will kick you so hard that you will land in a bin in China! You're full of shit!”The Chinese boss moved back. “I call police!”“Tell them and they will know all about the unfair treatment that happens here, that way they will depot you back to whatever corner of poverty you crawled out from.”He walked away passing the JCB truck. His phone rang as he walked away.“Alex..”“Did you just punch him? I’m scared to come to you, he might fire me.”Adrian turned his head. “Its fine. We will meet up later ,He's full of himself. He called me a cockroach a Dick! fvck!”“I hope he doesn’t open a police case against you.”“He wouldn’t try it. I will tell them he tried to hit me first.”Alex laughed. “I will see you later my bro.”“Sure.”***In Suncity, Helena sighed and searched for Adrian on Facebook. She wrote his full names but t

At a bar that same morning in Rivercity, David danced to jazz music moving his waist shirtless showing his potbelly. He held his bottle of whiskey dancing, one of the bar loyal customers walked over to him also dancing. She turned and shook her butt against his dic.He held her waist slamming into her with a huge smile. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of his baby mama as she walked over to him while his 6 children trailed behind her, the youngest in her arms.“David! What are you doing?!Huh? You're disrespecting me yet those things you're complaining about you're the one who is doing them."The woman dancing with him quickly moved back . Knowing the baby mama, she quickly scurried off“Run! You wh.ore!”She put the baby down. David swallowed.“Regina-“She slapped him hard. He dropped the bottle of beer. Regina picked it up and smashed his head with it. “Regina!”She dropped the bro
