Married To A Sex Freak
I repeated to myself, a mantra whispered into the quiet air, drawing deep, shuddering breaths as if they could actually mend me.
I fixed my gaze on the phone screen again, awaiting Sarah’s reply, but it remained stagnant—an unbearable blank. A sharp pang of hurt struck my chest. I felt profoundly alone, adrift in a silent sea. I craved a comforter; I needed Sarah’s voice, but more desperately, I yearned for my mother’s embrace.
“It is all over,” I confessed under my breath. The brutal truth was a constant hum: I had been forcibly married to Collins, a sure cruel plot engineered by my father. I was bound to him forever, sentenced to a lifetime of quiet pain and forced intimacy.
