Believed

“Seeing you with another guy makes me mad.” “Then close your eyes.” ******. It took me days, weeks, months, and years to escape him. And now when I was away from his clutches, I was confined in the cage of the most feared men in area. I was deceived, lied to, played with, and kept in the shadows all my life. The truth I believed my life to be, was a lie, a malicious fib. I lost everything, from the warmth of my parents to the love of my sister, from the happiness of my childhood to the pain given by my captor. And when I lost my hope of ever getting away from him, I landed in their hands. They took me in, gave me protection, and provided me with their care, but in the end, it was all lie. Just like in my past, they also deceived me, lied to me and caged me in name of protecting me. *****

I died in the year my husband hated me most. Unable to endure his endless silent treatment any longer, I swallowed a bottle of pills and ended my life. At the crematorium, watching the flames roar inside the furnace, he allowed himself a rare smile. “Someone as vile as her doesn’t deserve to be laid to rest whole.” So when the staff handed him the urn, he flipped it over. My ashes scattered across the floor in an instant. All this time, he had believed I was responsible for the death of his first love. That belief was why he had schemed and plotted for years, all for this precise moment of final desecration. When it was over, he stepped over my ashes and walked away without looking back. Though not long after that, he fell to his knees and begged the crematorium to give my ashes back to him.

For six years, I took bullets for him and erased every sharp edge of myself. Because of the way he protected me, outsiders all believed I was the woman closest to his heart. However, when I asked for just one sincere “I love you”, he laughed and refused. “Mafia marriages aren’t about feelings. Know your place.” Then he said, “If Sophia doesn’t like it, don’t even bother.” When the bomb countdown hit thirty seconds, my don husband shoved me aside without hesitation and ran out holding Sophia in his arms. Only then did I understand that after six years of entanglement, I wasn't even worth a single hair of his sister. I slammed the divorce papers into his face. “I’m going to personally send you and your precious sister straight to hell!”
