I watched my husband struggle to breathe and for the first time in years I didn’t pity him at all. I went closer to where he was lying down beneath the kitchen slab where I usually cut vegetables while making his favorite meal with anticipation of having him home but there was was no joy in my heart , all I felt was an anger and a rage that the joy of having him home can never measure up to .the love that had once lived inside me had turned into nothing but rage and fear . I tried to stand straight and watch him clearly but I was losing my gait and my vision was blurry . I watched blood drip down my hands as I struggled in pain. I moved closer determined that today should probably be the end of our story . I picked up the knife again from his grip and stabbed him again on his shoulder but couldn’t go too deep as my strength was failing me . I staggered down to my knees and noticed him blinking and murmuring soft words that I couldn’t hear , words that are more softer than the wo

I didn’t learn about men’s polygamous nature from my husband because it first started with my dad and it shaped my entire life leaving me in a loop that ranges from trauma , to acceptance of cheating and a marriage antagonist and nobody would ever blame me .The cheating by my dad probably started before I was born and continued till I was old enough and even till I became older . On the day my period started I was just 12 years old then and it was doing my mathematics class that I noticed my cloth was slightly stained so my mathematics teacher took me to the clinic and taught me about period and hygiene even though my mum had told me about them i didn’t want to cut her shut so listened to her gently and in in a way that made her think I was eager to hear from her .After I changed into my sports wear and went back to the class I was still uncomfortable because wearing a pad was discomforting and also my stomach was making me feel funny, so I took permission and went home .Gettin

My wedding was a glamorous wedding and indeed the type that every woman in the world would wish for and I made a very happy and beautiful bride .My wedding was on the 27th of December four years ago. That date was specifically picked by me because I have always liked the winter season and the Christmas periods were my favourite part of the year from when I was a little girl .I had imagined running under the snow dressing in a white exquisite dress dancing to “ceilings by lizzy Macalpine” and being playfully chased by the man who chose me for life and a man who would love me like I was the only woman in existence and as if I have been waiting for him my entire life and indeed I was a girl who kept waiting for a prince in a shining amour . sincerely at that moment it felt like all my dreams had come through .I had also wanted the Euphoria and the joy of Christmas to still be in everyone’s heart . I was a bride filled with not only the joy of being joined in the holy matrimony but a

I woke up with an aching head , slowly opened my eyes and realized I was in a hospital, immediately my sister screamed “ She is Awake !!” I turned and saw her, she moved towards me and hugged me so tight that I started feeling so much pain from the soreness of my body .“ It hurts “ I said with my voice muffled while I still tried to figure out what was going on I looked around the hospital room and immediately knew it was Elijah’s hospital, .Then slowly it dawned on me that I wasn’t back in time - on my wedding night , I was at the present day , the day I had fought and stabbed my husband.seeing how there were food items , clothes and extra mattress I knew I had been there for more than two days .My sister told me how she called me severally after I got off from the phone but he couldn’t reach me , she rushed over to my house and then found a lady in the house who had just called an ambulance, thankfully my husband and I were still breathing , she decided to take us to Elijah’s

As a free woman , I am in the best position to be an activist for women’s rights , but before going fully into that , I wanted to increase my restaurant,when I was still married , I had less time to go to my restaurant and most of the time I avoided going there whenever I had a wound from my husbands beating or whenever I was emotionally down . Other days I spent my hours there , trying new recipes and overseeing the affairs of the management. I never had the opportunity to dream bigger about it , and even when brands called for deals I was mostly tied down by marriage affairs . It was around 11:am when I finally figured out what my starting point should be , so I set my camera ,tapped the record button, took a deep breath, and forced a small smile."Hello, everyone. It's been a really long time.but I paused, glancing at the screen before continuing."I know a lot of you have been asking questions about my marriage, especially since the news of my divorce became public.
