I won't be able to tolerate him hurting me, intentionally or not, that too when I would be so engrossed in this marriage, mentally, emotionally, devotionally and physically."

I spent the rest of the workday registering two new clients: Client One: A woman who caught her husband cheating in their matrimonial bed with a woman he had introduced as his "cousin" two months ago.

Only the ticking of the wall clock echoed between them, loud and haunting.

The first thing that greeted me after I woke up was a tight slap to the cheek. Mom then yelled at me in disappointment, "You idiot! How dare you ask for a divorce from the Stallones? Don't you know that our family business relies heavily on the partnership with them? It's your honor to be able to marry someone of status! "I swear to god, if you ever dare to bring up divorce again, I'll break both your legs so that you'll never be able to leave!"
