Mad king

Selin

 

"How dare you?! My father saved you from this." I couldn't control myself and I knew that this might perish me but I'm already in my limits.

"Your father saved me?! In which hell did he save me? My company saved you and your filthy father who has nothing but full of debt." 

My eyes widened after hearing it from him. But I knew my father would never be like that because I look up on him.

 "Well, it might be surprising to you but not in the business world." he let out a heavy sighed and pout both his hands on his pocket.

"Now, I am not giving you an option, Selin. You wanted this show and I give it to you. Do I look like I care for that child?"

 

He turned his back and I saw him clenched his fist. His voice was cold that I get used to it but hearing it from him to abort the child was the worst of all.

 

"Blame it to me and never to our child, Demir." I said emphatically and did not mind the tears that was on my cheeks. I felt the sting pain from my abdomen and touched it gently.

 

"Our child? We both know that it wasn't my child!"

 

His words were emphatic and all of the anger was already on his fist and threw the things that was near to him and looked at me with more frustrations on his face.

 

"Demir, this is your child. How could you say those things?" I could feel his anger and that made my abdomen hurt once more.

 

When he noticed it, he immediately pointed his finger on top of it and pressed it harder this time. "What do you call this? Isn't your man's child? And yet you wanted me to be responsible on this."

 

My face sour as I felt it too hard for him to push my abdomen and no matter what I tried to push him away my hands could not do it because he's stronger than me. My tears pour down and could not take the pain from it but I have to be strong. I have to protect my child.

 

"Why? Aren't you capable of making me pregnant?! We shared a night together, Demir and it's almost every night!" my voice was stuttering because the pain from his finger was getting too much and so I tried to kick him and saw his face with a more anger on me. I moved back and covered myself with the sheets just to protect our child.

 

I saw his eyes and it seemed like it added more fire to him but he did nothing to me and just sat on the couch and lit his cigar.

 

"I- I never cheated on you. Please, spare the child from this mess." Then I wiped the tears from my cheeks and looked straight to his eyes and continued, "I- I can raise our child alone and.."

 

But he cut me off with a laugh that was echoing inside the room. I could not stop the devil in him and no matter what I do he never believed in me. He only believed on himself

 

"I will leave if that's what you want." I said for the last time and even though it would be hard for me but for the sake of the safety of our child I have to leave and give the divorce that he wanted from the start.

 

He heard it clearly and went in front of me and pressed both of my cheeks with his huge hands and looked through my eyes.

 

"Now, you proposing divorce?" he grinned his teeth and pressed it harder. He didn't mind the tears from my eyes and all he wanted was to see my suffering.

 

Then, he continued, "Why would I do that? To give you freedom? And that's what you wanted, right? You wanted to marry just to get some of my riches and divorce me just to live with your man a happily ever after ending."

 

"I don't need your money!" and out of my anger I spit on his face.

 

He chuckled and could not believe on what I did to him, so he wiped it immediately and threw a sharp look on me. He chuckled once again like an evil and grabbed his cigar and buried it on my arms. I screamed loudly but he quickly covered my mouth with the sheets.

 

"You ruined me, Selin. Now it's my time to ruin your life, and your family." he whispered and it made me surprised that he would also do the same with my family.

 

"No, please Demir, don't do anything to my family." I pleaded on him and rubbed both of my palms while the tears was non-stop flowing through my cheeks.

 

He looked around and put his one hand on his pocket and said, "Then, abort the child, Selin."

 

How could he even say those words to his child; our child. I never cheated on him and never would I ever do that. I watched him left the room and shut the door loudly as it could be.

"No options, and that's the best thing you can do."

 

My hands were shaking and I could not stop myself from the tears that kept on flowing on my cheeks. My abdomen was aching but, I have to be strong for the child.

 

How did we end up being like this? I did nothing wrong to him and yet he accused more than someone deserved to be punish in electric chair. All I ever did was to love him from the start and I did not have any idea that it would end up to be like a nightmare.

 

I gently caressed my abdomen and whispered. "I will never let him hurt you, baby. You will see the world and the beauty of it. Daddy was just tired of work but he's not mad at you." and sniff just to control the tears coming out from my eyes.

 

"You don't deserve to be hurt and I will be your shield. I'll protect you from anyone who will try to hurt you."

 

It was not right but my decision was final. I will keep this child no matter what happened. I will let him realized that it was his child not from anyone else. I'll risk everything and made sure that everyone was safe, I'll do everything.

 

Crouching myself on the bed and saw the entire room was now a mess and after a while that he left me here a woman came in to clean up everything. She never looked at me because that might be his order to her. It was his rules that no one in the house should ever talk to me neither make friends to them.

 

After we got married the rules were clear to me and in just a couple of months I never did anything that might upset him. Until one night he went home drunk and that was the day that he started giving me miserable nights and life with him. I was like walking in hell every morning, my friends witness about it and they feel pity on me some of them gave advice but I could not just leave him because many would suffer from the consequences.
