EPISODE 22 (FINALE)
This continued for two years until I decided enough is enough.
I never once enjoyed sex with him, it was always by force.
They say there is no rape in marriage but I beg to differ, Mark has been raping me except for our first wedding night.
He stopped me from working when he learnt Fred told me about his violent past but it was already too late anyway, I already married him.
Mark always wants me at home and I must be home before he gets home.
He created this fear in me that I don't feel safe wherever I go, I always feel like he's watching me somewhere, somehow.
I became paranoid.
Whenever he gets home my heart pounds furiously because I don't know what he might say I've done again.
He hurt me not only physically but also emotionally, he hurt me with his words too.
I almost ran mad.
I became a very unkempt person.
I can't remember the last time I made my hair.
I don't even bother to dress up anymore, where am I dressing up to?
Who am I dressing up for?
He hurt me to the point that I don't like looking at myself in the mirror.
He made me feel like the ugliest person on earth.
I can't go out.
I even had to sneak to Melissa's wedding, I could not miss it for the world.
****************************************************
We don't have a child, Mark made sure of that.
Due to his constant beating I had many miscarriages and eventually he damaged my womb.
"I'm sorry ma'am, except a miracle happens. It is medically impossible for you to have child"
These are the exact words the doctor told me this morning.
Those words broke me.
Those words crushed my heart beyond repair.
Those words make made me sad, angry at world, angry at Mark and most especially, angry at myself but it gave me the determination to do what I have been nursing in my mind for a while.
Is falling in love a wrong thing?
Maybe if I hadn't fallen in love my life would not have been like this.
I lost my family when I was young and I just wanted someone that would fill up the void.
I thought fate will smile on me at least just once.
I desperately wanted a family.
I wanted something to call my own.
I wanted someone to love.
I wanted someone that loves me.
I just wanted a family!!!
Is that too much to ask? Is it too much to ask?
Someone please answer me.
If there is a God up there, answer me.
I cry bitterly with these thoughts running through my mind.
****************************************************
I pick up my phone and dial Mel's number.
She picked it up at the third ring.
"Rose are you okay? Is something wrong?" Rose asked worriedly.
"I'm fine."
"What happened? It's so late at night. It's 10pm Rose. "
"I just want to inform you that I might need a lawyer"
"A lawyer? Are you divorcing him?"
"No. Divorcing him will make another woman fall victim of him."
"What do you want to do then?"
"Don't worry Mel.. The police will soon call you."
"Oh my God Rose please don't do anything stupid..Rose"
I hang up just as I hear a car park.
Perfect timing.
I call 911.
"911 what's your emergency?"
"I'm calling because of a murder."
"Are you alright Ma'am?"
"Yes I'm fine."
"Who is dead?"
"My husband"
"Ma'am.."
I interrupted him and give him the address of my house and then I threw my phone on the fall and break it with my leg.
The living room door opened and then Mark steps in.
He sees me.
"Oh look it's my disgusting wife. You should at least put some bandage on your wounds..."
He was going on and on and I moved closer to him.
I stopped directly in front of him and smiled.
He didn't see it coming.
I was hiding the knife behind me.
I thrust it deep into his stomach, twice, and then I kissed him before he fell on the floor.
And that's when I heard the siren.
Few minutes later they burst inside my house with their guns.
"Hands up"
I raise it up with no argument.
Few seconds later another person ran in.
Mel.
With Felix behind her.
She saw Mark on the floor in a pool of blood before some paramedics carried him into an ambulance.
I honestly wish he wouldn't survive this.
A police man put my hands behind my back, handcuffing me.
Mel and I kept staring at each other, tears streaming down her face.
"………as anything you say will be used against you in the court of law"
The End.

Phew, it's done.
I almost cried when writing this.
Such a sad sad ending.. Mark broke her or is it love?
I hope some of y'all learned something.
ADVICE: If you are in a relationship and you are always walking on eggshells around him or in rare cases, her, be careful, quit it if possible.
If someone is abusing you, it's not always physical, abuse can come in form of words too, tell someone.
ASK FOR HELP.
Be PATIENT, take your time before you go into any relationship, don't let people push you into anything you don't want because at the end it will just be YOU.
And most of all PRAY before you go into that relationship, it's not everything that seem right before man is right before God.
SAY NO TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
HAPPY NEW MONTH

EPISODE 21
i only enjoyed my marriage for only two weeks before I actually got to know the real Mark.
I got snippets of who he is before but this one is worse.
It all started when he saw me talking to a waiter, he kept complaining that I talked to him too much and accused me of trying to seduce him.
We got into a pretty heated argument and that's when he slapped me twice outside the restaurant.
He left me there and went home by himself.
Later, he apologized for what he did and told me he got jealous.
The second time was due to Fred.
I didn't know what happened between him and Fred until recently.
Fred dropped me home because we stayed late at work and I didn't bring my car.
Immediately I entered the house I saw Mark.
He clapped his hands.
"So your lovers are even dropping you home now Huh?"
"That was Fred"
"And so what? Fred is not a man?"
"I don't have time for this Mark"
I decided to leave him but he pulled me back violently on the floor.
"What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me? My wife is cheating on me and you are asking me what is wrong with me?" He slapped me hard and I actually saw stars.
He kicked me in my stomach a few times, I cried out, begging him but he wouldn't listen.
He left me there when he was done and drove out that night and did not return until morning.
I cried so much that night.
******************************************************
"Babe I love the gown you are wearing. Mark is really spending so much on you."
Mel gushed on my gown.
"I know right" I said with the best smile although it's not real.
"Although the sunglass looks good on you but you are not in the sun right now"
"I know right" I said again.
Mel gave a confused look.
"I just don't want to take it off."
"Why?"
"I just don't want to"
Mel moved close and removed the sunglass.
She gasped as she saw my face and the sunglass fell from her hand.
"What happened to your eye?"
"I fell down the stairs at home" I said immediately.
"You don't have a staircase in your house"
"Right. The one in the office"
"Your office doesn't have that either"
"Oh.. The one in the mall?" I said like I asked a question.
"Rose what happened?"
Without me even knowing I burst into tears.
I tried to control myself but I couldn't.
"He's beating you, isn't he?"
I nod my head.
"Oh God"
"Why?"
"Many reasons.. Me cheating is one of the reasons he gives"
"Cheating? You aren't cheating on him, right?"
"No but he believes so. I can't talk to a guy, if a guy looks at me too much I'm in trouble. I... I…I don't know what to do Mel. "
I begin another round of tears.
******************************************************
Mel advised me to call the police but I just don't know if that's right.
I got home and hear loud music playing from inside I enter and see Mark with two girls, one is even grinding on him.
In anger I stopped the music and asked them to go out.
"What the f**K Rose? Why did you do that?" Mark yelled at me.
"Mark you brought sluts into our home not even one, two of them. Aren't you ashamed?"
"They are sluts yeah? At least everyone can see they are unlike you, hiding your whorish self behind your innocent face" He said looking at me disgustingly.
The two girls laugh at his statement.
The tears in my eyes wants to fall but I blink them away.
"Get out you both." I drag them out but I didn't even make it to the door before Mark angrily pushed me to the floor and dragged me on the floor into our room.
"Behave yourself Rose or else you will suffer."
He pulled me to the mirror.
"Look at that, look at how ugly you look. You think you are pretty? Huh? You think you are pretty?" He shouted in my ears.
"I married you because I pity you, you should be grateful for that and be an obedient little wife."
He pushed me to the floor, again.
"You disgust me" Then he kicked me in my stomach and left our room.
I cried throughout the night.
I married a beast.
Penshalom.

Oh, Rose... It's so sad...

EPISODE 20
5 MONTHS LATER.
"So the wedding is not something big since we both don't have that much people to come"
"It's okay. At least you are getting married now. I can't believe you are getting married before me."
"Oh shut up. If it were up to Felix I'm sure y'all would have had two kids by now"
"Yeah yeah, I'm just taking my time."
"Well, Mark does not want to wait."
"Hmm anyway, are you prepared to lose the cookie?" Mel looks at me mischievously.
"Cookie? What cookie? Did I buy a cookie?"
I said with a confused look.
"Oh you are so dense. You know cookie, the thing that starts with the letter V.."
I got confused for a while before I got what she's saying.
"Oh that"
"Yes that. Aren't you excited?"
"Hmm" I said and take a sip out of my drink nervously.
"I know it's special to you. You've always been going on and on about how your special night will be and now it's almost happening. Aren't you scared?"
"Of course I am" I said.
If only you knew Mel, if only, I thought to myself.
"Ohhhhhh... I heard it's painful and sweet. You will tell me all about it won't you?"
"What? Definitely not"
"You are such a kill joy"
I don't want to dwell on the topic much because of the memories it brings.
"I wanna go check on the cake. Want to come?"
"Sure."
We both take our leave and enter my car, Mark got me one.
"Are you not feeling hot? Why did you cover yourself up so much? "
"I'm not feeling hot. Put on your seatbelt"
I start the car and drive out.
******************************************************
2 WEEKS LATER
"I can't believe you are married already." Mel said with tears in her eyes.
I roll my eyes at her.
"Stop being so dramatic. Felix, thank you for coming. Thank you for everything"
"Pfft, it's nothing. It's what you do for family" Felix replied.
"Family?"
"Melissa says you are sisters from heaven just from different parents"
Mel nods her head as if to confirm it.
"Melissa is like a sister to me too"
I heard a sniff.
"Come off it Mel"
"I can't help it. This is a dream come true. You look so beautiful in that gown."
"You've seen it on me millions of times already."
I roll my eyes.
"I just can't get enough of you. I love you Rose"
Mark interrupted us.
"Rose let's go. Hi Melissa, Felix"
"Hi Mark" Mel replied, Felix on the other hand just nods his head in greeting.
"Well, I'll see you around Mel" I hug her.
"Of course"
As we were leaving Mel shouted.
"Don't forget to give me the details later"
"In your dreams" I shout back.
"What details?" Mark asked me.
"Nothing important"
He took us to a 5 star hotel.
This place is really beautiful and Mark made the room extra beautiful.
The night was beautiful, sort of.
It just was not special.
It was not like I imagined it to be, how I wanted it to be.
Even though we are married I'm still scared of him touching me, it always reminds me of that night.

EPISODE 19
"What's wrong with you Mark?" I remove his hands from thighs and pull my gown down for the third time today.
"Just checking you out."
He nuzzled my neck.
"I think you've had a little too much to drink." I pushed him back.
"I'm still sane Rose. I want this"
"We've talked about this. I'm not ready for this Mark besides we are getting married soon what's the rush?"
Mark and I have been dancing around this issue since the second day I moved to his house, he wants to take our relationship to the "next level" but me being an "old-fashioned girl" the idea does not really sit well with me.
"I think I will sleep in the guest room tonight" I said and move to the guest room, locking the door.
I was still sleeping until I heard the rattling of keys on my door and then it opened.
I see Mark entering and moved towards my bed.
When I looked into his eyes what I saw scared me, you can clearly see his determination, the lust in his eyes.
He got on the bed and he is reeking of alcohol.
"Mark please no" I pleaded trying to move back on the bed.
He just kept crawling towards me, I keep moving back till I moved to the headboard and there is no room to move again.
"Please Mark, Mark no"
I tried running to the door but he locked it already.
I'm trapped.
"Mark listen, you are really drunk, we will both regret it by morning" I said desperately trying to at least get him to listen to me.
But he has this evil look in his eyes.
He moved close to me and carried me and then threw me on the bed.
I am already crying seriously.
I try covering myself.
"Open up" He shouted and pried my hands apart before tearing the gown.
It's like he is extra strong now.
He is like an animal.
"Mark no, Mark no....."
He pulled his pants down.
I kept begging him but he didn't even budge.
He forced himself in and the pain I felt made me scream.
"No..." my voice trailed in the dark.
******************************************************
I could not sleep at all that night, no, that week.
I keep having the nightmares.
Mark apologized the next day and the rest of the week with roses, petals, dinners and his words.
He told me the alcohol messed with his head.
Sometimes I still feel the sore but I know it's all healed up.
Ever since that day I've been covering up my body.
Whenever a guy looks at me for too long I get so scared, the thing has been messing with my mind.
The worst thing is I can't tell anyone, I can't tell Mel because of the shame, I'd rather keep it to myself.
Maybe if I had agreed to it maybe that wouldn't have happened.
I blame myself for this.
Mark has stayed away from alcohol since then just to prove how sorry it is.
I forgave him as usual but I will never forget
We we will get married anyway, that gives me some sort of peace.
I just pray I eventually erase the memories of that night.
However that night is the first step to him breaking me.

Episode 18
I started living with Mark from that day on.
I later went to my apartment to pack some things I need and Mark got me the rest.
I haven't made up with Mel ever since that, she called me so many times and finally stopped.
I'm working in my office when I heard a knock.
"Come in" I said not looking up.
"Uh hi Rose"
I look up.
"Melissa"
"In the flesh" She said trying to light up the mood.
"Uh, sit down"
"Thank you"
An awkward silence.
"Uhm.. How have you been?"
"Good, good. How about you?"
"I'm good too."
"So, what's up?"
"Uh.. I came to apologize. I'm sorry for what I did the other day. I shouldn't have talked to you like that. I'm really sorry."
"This is not the first time you are apologizing Mel"
"I know but this is the last time I promise."
"You promised the last time too."
"I promise again. I was just looking out for you"
"I know but I'm no longer a kid Mel and I have my own life live. I can make decisions for myself."
"I understand now. I'm sorry"
"It's OK" I smile at her and she grins in return.
"Oh I missed you you idiot" She said jumping on me.
"I missed you too" I said hugging her back fiercely.
"Are you coming back?"
"I don't know yet but I'll definitely sleep over sometimes"
"I can't believe we are apart now"
"It's bound to happen sooner or later"
"And now it has happened. Anyway, you are happy right?"
"Yes"
"That's all that matters to me"
"It's your lunch break right? Let's hangout today. Please Rose?" She said batting her eyelids.
I laugh at that.
"Let's go"
We exit the office hand in hand.
******************************************************
"I'm so happy Melissa and I are friends again. It's like a burden is lifted from my heart"
"Hmm. She won't be bothering us again right?"
"I guess so"
"Good"
He goes back to working on his laptop.
"Mark can I ask you something?"
"Sure"
"Where is your family?"
His hands shake and he made them into a fist, I can see his muscles tense too.
"If you don't want to talk about it it's okay"
"I don't have a family" He said suddenly.
"What?"
"I grew up in an orphanage. I got adopted and I found my way till I became successful today."
"Where is the family that adopted you?"
"They are in England."
"They are still your family ain't they?"
"I don't have a family" He said angrily.
"Uhm okay. I don't have parents either but I have an Aunt who raised me."
He just nods his head.
I move close to him and wrap my hands around his shoulder.
We remain like that till he stood up and went to our room without saying a word.

Yay, two episodes in one day. I'm too nice #wink#
Thank you for the comments and likes, especially the comments, they melt my heart.

Episode 17
"Uhm Mel, what happened is that..i mean..what is happening here is." I said unable to keep a sentence together.
Honestly, Mel looks scary as hell right now.
There is no emotion on her face at all, how she does that I don't know.
I look at Mark for some help but he is looking at the floor like a child scared of his mother's beating.
Guess it's only me here.
"We.. Mel, Mark and I are seeing each other again." I said in a rush.
Mel still remains quiet and that scares me more.
"Mel, please say something" I said after sometime.
"Get out"
"Uh, what?"
"I said get out" She said looking at Mark.
"Okay" Mark didn't even look back as he ran out.
"How long as this been going on?"
Mel asks quietly.
"Two.. Two months"
"Two months? Two months Rose? And you didn't even tell me? I thought we are friends. You've been deceiving me for good two months Rose" Mel said angrily.
I feel so bad.
"I'm sorry Mel. It's just Mark thought you wouldn't approve"
She scoffs.
"I should have known he would be the one behind this. That coward."
"Did he do that to you?" She points at my head.
"Yes and no"
"What does that mean? Did he do it?"
"Yes but he didn't mean it."
"What do you mean by that?"
I sigh and explain everything to her.
"Honestly, it's not his fault"
"Stop deceiving yourself Rose, that guy is dangerous. If he could beat a guy up just for talking to you? What do you think he will do to a guy that comes close to hugging you? He will definitely kill him"
"He's just possessive about me. He does not want to lose me and anyway it's my fault that I just barged into the fight like that."
"Is that what he told you? I've met guys like him.. I'm a divorce lawyer remember? They try to control you with guilt"
"Mark is not like that. He loves me"
"I hate to break it to you Rose. That guy does not love you, he's deceiving you, even if he does, his anger has overshadowed his thinking. Guys like that are dangerous and he's like this to you because you are you"
"What do you mean by that?"
"You are too nice for your own good Rose. You trust people easily. I know you are desperate for someone to love and love you back but that psychopath is not the one for you"
"Shut up. Shut up"
I said angrily.
I start walking towards the door.
"Where are you going?"
"Somewhere I wouldn't have to listen to your nonsense"
I bang the door and head to Mark's house.
******************************************************
"I told you so" Mark says after taking a sip of champagne.
"I didn't think she would react that way"
"I figured she would. She's not a good friend"
"Why?"
"She doesn't want your happiness. She's happy with her longtime boyfriend or fiance not wanting you to have one. She does not care you about you"
"I think she was looking out for me. I think I should not have reacted so fast."
"This is why she's walking over you. You are too nice for your own good Rose"
I frown at that.
"This is the second time I'm hearing those words today. Mel said the same thing."
"Well, she's right, you are way too nice, and that's why I love you"
"Because I'm nice?"
"Yep. Are you sleeping over tonight?"
"I guess so." I said tiredly.
"We'll go check your head out tomorrow. Let's go sleep for now" He pulled me to his room.
Penshalom

Mark is a coward, ain't he? And Rose is…well...Rose is Rose.

Episode 16
Mark came to see me towards evening time.
"What are you doing here? Mel will soon be back " I whispered.
"I won't stay too long" He whispered back.
"Alright" I sigh in relief.
"How is your head?" He whispered again.
"Why are we whispering?"
"How is your head?" He repeated with a normal voice.
"It's fine" I replied him with a shrug.
"Oh here."
He gave me a bunch of roses and a box of my favorite chocolate.
"Peace offering" Mark said tentatively.
I just keep quiet.
"You know it was your fault Rose, you should not have interfered"
I thought about it, technically he is right.
"You should learn to manage your anger, you almost killed him, I don't even know if Donald is fine"
"He is fine. At least he could stand up by himself"
"You are not even moved by this. You almost killed him"
"He was hitting on you"
"He wasn't"
"When I saw him I just lost my mind. I just don't want to lose you"
He holds my hand in his.
That melts my heart.
"You won't. You won't lose me. I promise you that.…."
"What the hell is going on here?" A voice interrupted us.
I freeze.
I know that voice, but I still looked up to see just to know if it's not my mind playing tricks with me and just like I thought it's actually Mel staring at us.
I think my heart just fell to the floor.

I loose my hands from his immediately and stand up almost falling in the process.
"Hi..hi Mel"
"Hello Melissa"
Mark and I said at the same time.
"I don't have time for pleasantries. What is he doing here?"
"Erm..actually.."
"Actually I came to see her. I heard she's not well"
"And how did you know she's not well?"
"Well uhm... "
"Fred told him" I replied, hoping she will buy it.
"Yes, Fred told me"
We both stand there looking nervous as hell, Mel can be very intimidating when she wants too.
Mel as been giving us a blank look and then she laughed suddenly, but it's not a normal laugh.
"Do you people think I'm a fool?"
Mark and I look at each other simultaneously.
"Now I am going to ask again.. What the actual Bleep is going on here?"
I take a deep breath.
Now is the time to tell the truth.
Penshalom.

*Drum roll*
They got caught, what will happen next?
Happy Sunday everyone.

Episode 15
I woke up to a beeping sound and when I opened my eyes and looked everything was bright.
Am I in heaven? I thought to myself.
"Rose.. You are awake?" I heard a voice.
That definitely does not sound like God, not that I've heard him speak before but still.
"Rose, can you hear me?"
Wait, that's Mark.
I look towards the direction of the voice and I see him standing at the edge of the bed.
"What happened?"
"You fainted"
"Why?…" then I remembered what happened.
I sit up fast.
"Where is Donald? Did you kill him?"
His jaw ticked.
"I'm not a murderer Rose" he said through clenched teeth.
"Why did you hit him?"
"He was hitting on you" he said angrily.
"He was not hitting on me and even if he was that doesn't give you the right to hit him. You even hurt me in the process."
"No one told you to interfere." He said with no remorse at all.
"I can't believe you. Is that what you are supposed to say?"
"Just shut up Rose. You are getting me angry again" He said shouting.
"Stop shouting too. It's giving me headache."
He threw his hands in the air.
"Let me get you a doctor. You need to check your head checked."
"You are the one who needs to get his head checked"
He turned to me and glared at me.
"You. Do. Not. Talk. To. Me. Like.That" He said, his nose flared.
I actually cower, he looks ready to kill but I got saved when a nurse came in.
"Is everything alright?" the Nurse asked.
Immediately Mark's expression changed, it's like a Deja Vu moment.
"Everything is fine Nurse. Just having a deep conversation with my girl" He replied her with a wink.
The nurse smiled at that before she came to me.
******************************************************
I later learned I have a deep cut on my head and that a part is swollen too.
I was given some drugs and asked to rest very well.
Mark dropped me off at a corner close to my house and we didn't say a word through out the ride, no one said goodbye either.
"Oh My God, what happened to you?" Mel screamed pointing at my bandaged head.
"Oh, this" I point to my head as if I didn't know what she is talking about.
"Yes that"
I sit down and stay quiet for some minutes thinking of what to say.
"Well, what happened?"
"I.. I tripped"
"You tripped?"
"Yes, in the parking lot. I tripped on my heels, the ground was wet"
"Oh you poor thing.. Why didn't no one call me?"
"I told Fred not to. I didn't want to worry you"
"That's ridiculous, who else will you worry but me? So Fred took you to the hospital?"
"Yes"
"That's nice of him"
"Are you alright now? Do you want anything?"
"Tea please"
"Alright. Wait a bit"
She brought pillows for me to lay my head on and then went to make the tea.
I lie down thinking about the events of the day.
Mark is possessive, yes, that's why he got so angry.
He doesn't want me talking to anyone else but him because he loves me so much.
Right?
"Here is your tea"
Mel placed it on a stool beside me and help me sit up.
"Thanks" I said after taking a sip.
"By the way, how did you get home?"
"Oh.. Erm, Fred dropped me off"
"Where?"
"At that bend close to ours I didn't want to disturb our neighbors, you know it's late"
"Oh alright."
"Rest well Rose"
She started patting my back like I'm a little baby.
I slept off few minutes later.

Episode 14
Everything has been perfect except for me still lying to Mel.
I hate keeping it from her, Mel is the most honest person I know as crazy as she is.
It's been two months now, how I managed to keep it for this long I don't know.
I've been lying a lot lately, and "acting" a lot, Mark also tells me some lies to tell her.
Although I'm happy with Mark but the thought of deceiving my best friend weighs me down each time it comes to my mind.
"What's wrong with you? You are not eating"
"Nothing" I shrug.
"I know it's not nothing. Tell me"
I drop my fork on my plate.
"I think we should just tell Mel about all this. Why should I keep lying to her? It's been two months already"
Mark leans on his sit and loosen his tie.
"You know we can't tell her Rose"
"Why can't we? Why can't we tell her?"
"Because she will never understand. She doesn't want us to be together, remember?"
"Still, the thought of hiding things from her doesn't sit well with me"
"We can't tell her Rose and that's it"
"I want to"
"Well, you won't"
"Why won't I?"
"Because I say so. And I don't want you talking to Fred either."
"Why? Why should I hide our relationship from him? Why should I hide our relationship from each of our friends? He's your friend isn't he?"
"Not anymore. Just don't talk to him"
"Whatever" I said angrily.
"I just don't want to lose you Rose"
"Can we go now? It's getting late." I said totally ignoring his last statement.
Mark sighs.
"Go on, I have to pay the bill"
I go out and wait by the car thinking of the lie I will tell Mel tonight again.
This is exhausting actually.
"Hello there"
I look up and see a guy hovering over me.
"Hi"
"I'm Donald" he said pointing his hand at me.
"I'm Rose" I take his hand.
He smiles at me and I smile back.
He has an easy smile and he looks nice, you know like those people you easily get comfortable with.
"So, what are you doing here looking all lost?" He said leaning on the car with me.
"Just thinking about something"
"Really? Care to share?"
"Uh.. I don't know. I just feel miserable"
"Miserable? Why? "
"Just been disappointing my best friend lately."
"Alright. Why is that?"
"I can't really say."
"Don't worry I won't tell nobody"
"How am I sure? I just met you"
"Doesn't matter. I could be your guardian angel you know"
I laugh sincerely at that and it felt good.
It's been a while since I laughed genuinely.
"What? Don't I look like one?" He says pointing at his face.
"You look..." I said pretending to think.
"Oh my God, you are thinking about it? I'm so shocked right now. I'm like the hottest guy ever" He said looking so serious.
I laugh again.
"Seriously…"
He could not finish his sentence because someone pulled him back and punched him.
"Mark" I screamed out.
"Shut up" He shouted at me.
"What the hell man?" Donald said wiping blood from his mouth.
"You still have the mouth to talk, you fool" Mark punches him again.
"Mark stop it"
He didn't stop just continued to punch him.
Donald tried to swing back at him to sometimes but Mark was too strong and fast.
He was like a monster out for blood.
I had to do something.
I move close to them and pulled Mark's shirt.
"Mark stop hitting him"
He didn't hear me instead he pushed me angrily and I hit my head on the floor.
Damn, that hurt.
I stand up again, Mark already stopped punching him but he was still breathing heavily.
"Are... " that was all I could say before everything went black.

Episode 13
After he left Mel came out almost immediately.
"Will you stop crying for him? He doesn't deserve you" She said irritated.
"Don't say that Mel" I replied her wiping my tears.
"Why shouldn't I? He is an ass. Just forget him"
I look at her astonished.
"What? You want to go back to him?"
"I don't know" I slump on the chair.
"No no Rose.. You ain't going back to that guy"
"It's not your call Mel. I can decide for myself, he looked really sorry"
"He's just playing you. He's definitely going to do it again"
"I don't know alright? I told him to give me time, we might not see each other for a while"
We sit in silence each of us lost in our thoughts.
"I'm gonna go take a shower" I said standing up.
"You really need it. You look like shit"
I scowled at her before I went inside the bathroom.
**************************************************
Mark didn't give me the time I asked for.
He kept bugging me.
He calls and sends me messages, telling me to forgive him, telling me how much he loves me.
Flowers and cute notes on them are delivered to my office everyday.
We talk once in a while, I mean who could resist such loving gestures.
I forgave him since the day he came to my house, I really love him.
It's been a month now, that's why I've made this decision without Mel knowing and Mark totally supports this.
Mark and I are presently in his lounge at his apartment.
It's so beautiful and perfect.
Candles, flowers, the view of the sea.
A nice dinner and champagne with the hottest man sitting in front of you.
"Thank you for coming Rose" Mark said reaching for my hands.
I squeeze his hands in a loving gesture.
"I'm truly sorry for what I did"
"It's okay" I said quietly.
"Thank you for giving us another chance. I promise to treat you right"
"It's OK. I love you Mark."
"I love you too"
******************************************************
"You are home late"
Mel said as soon as I came in, I think she's been waiting up for me.
"Oh.. Yes"
"Uh, are you alright?" She asked with a worried expression.
"Yes, yes. I just decided to treat myself. Just to make myself happy" I said feigning a smile.
"Alright that's good. Since Mark is out of your life now you can begin again"
I just nod my head.
"Goodnight. I'm really tired tonight" She said in between her yawn.
"Oh, night Mel"
She smiles tiredly and went to her room.
"I'm sorry Mel. I'm sorry for lying to you" I whisper sadly to her door.
I also go to my room and I got a message from Mark.
"Night beautiful"
I grin widely.
"Night hon" I text back.

Episode 12
The next day I didn't go to work, I called in sick.
Mel had to go, she has a case she has to defend in court.
I'm still baffled by what happened last night.
I still can't believe he can do that.
Sometimes I still feel the pain in my cheek but I know it's just my subconscious.
I hear my phone ring I don't have to look at it before I know it's Mark.
Mark has been calling me since last night but I didn't pick it.
He sent so many text messages too begging me.
I read them over and over again.
I won't lie to myself and say the messages didn't touch my heart but I have not gotten over what happened last night.
My phone rings again.
It's Mark.
I keep looking at it until it missed.
Few seconds later I hear a bang on the door.
A little scared, I go inside and pick the mop from the kitchen and I move towards the door as the person kept banging on the door.
"Rose? Are you in?"
The voice stopped me.
I place the mop in a corner behind the door.
I open the door.
"Mark?
"Oh thank God you are in." He said, he looks agitated.
"What do you want?" I said folding my hands on my chest and glaring at him.
"I came to apologize for last night."
I just continue glaring at him.
"I'm truly sorry. Please forgive me"
Silence again.
"Please can we go in and talk? I would not want your neighbors to hear this"
I contemplate for a few minutes.
I wouldn't want them to hear that my boyfriend slapped me either.
"Come in"
We both enter.
A tense silence.
"Are you going to talk? Or should I walk you out?"
Before he could talk Mel came in.
"Rose.. What the actual f**k are you doing here?" Mel said angrily as she spots Mark.
"You told her?" Mark said looking at me.
He is giving me the "I can't believe you told her" look.
"Of course she told me you jerk. How could you lay your filthy hands on my best friend?" Mel says hitting him over and over with her bag.
I hold her back after some minutes.
"Mel.. It's okay. Let's hear him out."
Mel sits down breathing hard.
We sit down and nobody talked.
"Well? Cat got your tongue?" Mel said in mockery.
"I.. I don't know what came over me"
Mel scoffs at his words.
"That's what they all say. What else do you want to say? It's the devil's work?" Mel asked Mark.
"Can.. Can I talk to you Rose? Alone?"
"No Mister you better say all you have to say in front of me because…"
"Mel" I cut her off.
"Leave us please"
"But..."
"Don't worry I'll be fine" I tell her.
"Okay" she leaves us but not before giving Mark a death glare.
"Wow, she's scary"
"Is that what you want to tell me?"
"I'm truly sorry Rose. I don't know what came over me, I think I drank too much actually.. I'm sorry for hurting you so much. I'm sorry Rose please forgive me" He said looking really sad.
"How could you do this to me Mark? How could you do this to us? How could raise your hands at me Mark? I thought you have feelings for me" I say crying.

"I do Rose, I love you. I really do. I'm sorry I did that. It won't happen again I promise" He also said tears filling his eyes.
"You can't expect me to forget what happened easily. You have to give me time" I wiped the tears from my eyes.
He looks down dejected.
"If that's what you want.. But we will still talk right?"
"I don't know Mark. We'll see"
He takes a deep breath.
"I'll give you time. Just know that I really love you"
I nod my head I have the reply on my lips though I didn't say it out.
He leaves me giving me a last long sad look.
As soon as he leaves I start crying again.

I stand there not able to move.
It felt like a dream.
But it's not.
I can still feel the pain in my cheek.
He slapped me.
Tears started falling from my eyes.
"M..Mark.. You slapped me?" I said with a shaky voice.
"Rose.. I.. "
I didn't wait for him to finish his sentence before I turned and leave.
"Rose wait"
I heard him calling my name but I didn't wait.
I start running and I heard my name fade behind me.
He slapped me.
He slapped me.
He slapped me.
That thought kept running through my head till I got home.
I knock on the door, as soon as Mel opened and saw my face she pulled me inside and hugged me.
I start crying hard.
"Shh, it's okay, it's okay. "
Mel kept saying rubbing my back.
******************************************************
#20 minutes later.#
I calmed down a little.
"Do you want to talk about it?
I nod my head.
"What happened?"
"He slapped me Mel. He slapped me"
"He did what? He slapped you?" Mel says angrily.
"He slapped you? He slapped you? "
I just sit there quietly.
"The guy's so dead the next time I see him. How dare he slap you? That asshole" Mel said pacing like a wounded. lion.
"I couldn't believe it Mel. It felt like a dream. How could Mark do such a thing?"
Mel sits with me and hold my hand.
"I love him Mel. I can't believe the man I love can do that."
"That's because he is not a man. Every man that hits a woman does not deserve to be called a man. He is a monster"
"God I can't believe it."
"I should have listened to you. I should have listened to you."
"It's OK, everyone makes mistakes and we learn from them. "
"Thank you so much. Thank you for staying with me."
"What are friends for? You need to rest. Let's go to bed"
We both slept in her room.

Episode 10
We entered his car after buying the dress.
"I'm sorry about what I did earlier"
I don't answer.
"Hey, babe, Rose"
I just keep looking ahead.
"I'm sorry alright? I just want to show you off to my friends."
"What? So I have to dress like that because you want to show me off? "
"It's what most of their girls will wear, I just don't want you to be out of place."
"It's still doesn't feel right..."
He cuts me off.
"Please just once Huh?, babe, please it's just this one time. We won't even stay long just for 30 minutes, greet and go" He pleaded.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes love. "
I think about it for some minutes.
Well it wouldn't hurt if it's once.
"Alright, but no repeat of this, OK?"
"Yes ma'am." He said with a mock salute.
"I'm sorry about that" He said pointing at my wrist.
I look at my wrist.
"Is that a bruise? I can't believe I did that. I'm so sorry Rose, so sorry."
"It's alright, at least you know what you did is wrong"
"Yeah, I promise it won't repeat itself again" he said looking sincerely sorry.
"It's okay" I hug him.
"Thank you Rose. You are really the one for me."
"You are the one for me too."
******************************************************
"I know I promised I wouldn't interfere again but are you sure about this?"
"Not really but since it's just a day thing and we wouldn't even stay long, so why not?"
I tried pulling the gown up a bit, it's showing too much up here.
I pull it down again, it's showing too much down there.
"See, you are not even comfortable with the gown, you keep pulling it. Do you even want to do this?"
"No, I'm not happy about this but it's Mark" I replied sincerely.
"So what if it is Mark, you don't have to change who you are because of a guy"
"I know but it's just for today"
"Hmm. I hope so"
"I will be back soon I promise"
"Be safe". Mel said after sighing knowing she can't convince me.
Mark was already parked outside.
"Wow, damn baby you look hot"
"Hmm. Just so you know I'm still not happy about this."
Mark just rolls his eyes.
We got to the club 20 minutes later, and from the moment we stepped in I knew this is not the place for me.
"Mark, your chick is hot" A guy said, I think it's his new friend with the way the greeted each other.
"I know right" Mark replied with a smirk.
I look at the two of them disgustingly .
I keep pulling the gown up and down.
I started counting the minutes since we entered.
"Mark it's time"
"Time for what?"
"Time to go"
I make a move to stand up.
"Wait, chill, let's wait for another 30 minutes. Hmm?"
I sit back down.
"Aren't you drinking?" A girl asked me.
"No."
"Babe, drink something. Even if it's just one glass"
"No"
"C'mon Rose." He tried to force it in my mouth.
"I said no" I shouted at him.
"I've had enough of this." I stand up and leave with Mark hot on my heels.
"What the hell was all that drama inside?" Mark asked me angrily.
I just fold my arms angrily.
"Get back in there Rose" He demanded after taking a deep breath.
"And if I don't?"
"Do it while I'm being nice" He said angrily again.
"I'm not going back there Mark and you can't force me to"
I replied back angrily too.
"Get back in there"
"Never" I said screaming in his face.
"Get inside Rose"
I shake my head and turn to leave.
He pulled me back and started pulling me inside.
I manage to remove my hand from him.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
I say hitting him with my purse.
"Are you nuts? Did you just hit me?" He looks at me angrily, he looks so scary right now.
"Yes" My voice shakes a little.
He moved closer to me.
I move back.
"You f***king hit me. You hit me you bitch"
He said angrily and suddenly I feel something hit my cheek.
He slapped me.

Episode 9
Our relationship is now a month's old.
So, far it's been good, except for his bad temper.
But he's the best actually.
He's so perfect.
He spoils me, he buys me things just like now we are now at the mall we went the other time.
"Hi.. I'm here for the gown I ordered for. I want her to try it on" Mark told one of the attendants.
"What's your name sir?"
"Mark"
"Excuse me"
She left us for a while.
"Please. Follow me ma'am" She said when she came back.
I follow her to the dressing room and she brought a gown for me few minutes later.
It's so pretty.
But..
"Wait.. Are you sure this is what he ordered for?"
"Yes ma'am"
"This is so short"
"I guess that's your boyfriend's taste"
"Excuse me"
I go out.
"Mark.. What's this?"
I point the gown at him.
"Oh.. You like it?"
"What? No"
"Why? You will look sexy in this"
"No Mark, I will look like a slut in this"
"This is the perfect dress for where we are going?"
"Where?"
"A friend's club"
"What kind of friend is that? I'm sure it's not Fred"
"You will meet him tonight"
"No. I'm not going to a club with you"
"Stop this holier than thou attitude Rose. You are going"
"I'm not. I don't go to clubs, sure I have fun but not to that extent. I'm not going Mark. I'm returning this gown"
I move towards the dressing room but he stopped me by holding my hand, tight.
"You are wearing this gown, tonight"
"Stop it Mark you are hurting me" I said trying to wriggle my hands out.
He didn't leave me.
"Everything alright here?" a lady asked us.
"Oh of course, we are just arguing if the color suits her or not. Right honey?" Mark smiled at me and released my hand.
"Yes" I didn't want to create a scene.
"Do you want to change the color ma'am? "
"No it's perfect." I said with a fake smile and followed her to the dressing room not wanting to create a scene.
What the hell is wrong with Mark?

The happiness in me is radiating on my face.
Everyone who saw me noticed it.
Even my boss.
"You seem really happy this morning Rose. I noticed you've been happy all week"
"Oh. Thank you sir"
"Wanna share?"
"Oh.. You know, just happy about the dating thingy. Nothing big" I said casually but I'm freaking out inside.
"Dating? You are dating already? Wow, who is the lucky guy?"
Okay, that's weird.
"Didn't Mark tell you?" I asked, confused.
"Mark? No, he told me nothing. Oh my God you are dating Mark?"
"Yes" I said happily.
"But isn't that a little soon?"
I frown at that.
What's wrong with this people?
"No" I snapped at him.
"Whoa, sorry. I hope you know what you are doing. Good luck Rose, I'm happy for you."
That instantly made me happy.
"Thank you. I'm sorry for snapping at you."
"It's okay. Just remember I'm still your boss Rose" He warned me.
"Yes sir. I'm truly sorry about that" I mumbled.
*****************************************************
"You didn't tell Fred about us?"
"Huh.. No, why?"
"He is your friend so I just thought you'd tell him"
"I don't want to"
"Why?"
"I just don't want to."
"But why?"
"I just don't want to, drop it Rose" he shouted at me.
I just stand there shocked.
"I'm sorry" He said after a while.
"You are so bad tempered"
"Hmm. Sorry. "
"It's okay. Let's leave "
We left my office and he dropped me home.
I enter and see Mel eating.
I head for my room.
"Rose, why didn't you pick my calls?"
"Because I'm angry at you obviously"
"I'm sorry for interfering in your relationship. I don't like us fighting. I'm sorry"
I turn back to look at her.
"I don't like us fighting too"
"I won't interfere again I promise"
I nod my head.
We both hug each other.
"I missed you girl"
"Me too Mel"
We pull from the hug.
"Go get your food. I have so much to tell you"
"Let me guess, it's about Kate"
"You know me so well"
I smile.
"I finally fulfilled my promise"
"Jesus.. You beat her? " I said in shock.
"Uh uh"
"I can't wait to hear this"
I rush to the kitchen to get my food.
Mel is a crazy girl.

Episode 7
I couldn't keep the smile off my face.
He pecked my lips as he dropped me off.
"See you tomorrow babe" He said with that heart stopping smile.
I just kept smiling.
"You are so cute" He pulled my nose in a playful way and left.
Immediately I entered the house Mel attacked me.
"Oh my God.. Did he just kiss you? Or was I seeing wrong?"
"Oh my God Mel.. You were watching us?"
"Of course.. Best friend duty. I have to keep tabs on you. That's by the way, did he actually kiss you?"
I sit down on the sofa.
"Yes" I say shyly.
"Okay.. What's up?" she sits beside me.
"Can you believe it Mel? He likes me too.. We both like each other..the feeling is mutual" I say, practically squealing.
"Wow.. That's great"
"Great? It's fantastic, awesome, wonderful, beautiful. I'm like so over the moon now Mel. Anyway we are dating now."
"Huh? Dating? Already?"
"Yes.. There's no wasting time, we both like each other so why not?"
"Oh"
"Mark got this for you" I give her the meat pie we got earlier.
She collected it and didn't even glance at it once.
"What? You don't look happy."
"I am happy. I am happy for you Rose"
"But.."
"But isn't this too soon? I mean you just met each other for like a month and you went out like twice and just like that you are dating. Do you even know this guy?"
"Well.. I feel like I've known him forever. That does not matter right now Mel, what matters is our feelings for each other. We will get to know each other gradually".
Mel sighs deeply.
"I don't know Rose. I think you are rushing into this."
"What? Rushing? You are the one who believes in the love at first sight thing." I say standing up.
"I do but that doesn't mean you don't use your brain too"
"What do you mean by that?" I say, slightly offended.
"I'm sorry, that came out wrong. I mean you have to know a guy deeply, don't let your feelings rule your thinking.. For all we know he could be a fraud or a..."
"Enough Mel. Enough"
"Rose..."
"I've heard enough of your talk alright? You are happy with your boyfriend, you don't how it feels to be alone, not having someone to talk to, I've found someone I love Melissa take it or leave it."
I storm off to my room and slam the door.
How dare she?

Question: Does love at first sight exist? If yes, what is love then? Physical qualities or one's personality?"

Episode 6
We are at the amusement park close to my apartment for some privacy.
"Why didn't you tell me you were traveling?"
"Oh" He scratches his hair.
"It was an emergency. Work emergency"
"What do you do anyway?"
"I'm into constructions. I'm a civil engineer"
"Oh I see"
Good looking, Good job, Good manners.
He's so perfect.
After a while...
"Aren't you going to apologize?"
"For?" He asked looking honestly confused.
Is he serious right now?
"For not calling me"
"Uhm why should I? I already explained myself right?"
"What?"
"Stop being a girl Rose. Come on, let's go out"
"What if I don't want to?"
"Well you have to"
"Why?"
"'cos I say so"
I just sit there staring at him in surprise.
"Oh for the love of God, let's go Rose" He pulled me up and into his car and drove off without asking me anything.
I'm actually pissed right now.
*****************************************************
He was not even bothered and kept talking about his trip.
I kept quiet all through.
We arrived at a mall and he parked his car.
I wanted to open my door but he stopped me.
"Let me"
He came around and opened my door.
That made me happy , no one has ever done that kind of thing for me before.
I step out and he held my hand as we both enter the mall.
He bought me so many things.
Clothes, bags, jewelries, expensive things.
And I had a make over.
I was so over the moon.
I forgot what happened earlier.
******************************************************
"So are you having fun babe?"
Mark asked me.
We are now at an eatery taking ice-cream.
I nod my head and grin.
"Yes I am"
"Great." He smiles at me.
"Do you want some snacks?"
"Yes please. I'll prefer a take away please"
"No problem."
We move over to the counter.
"What do you want babe?"
I blush at that endearment.
"Burger please."
"Can you pack two burgers for my girlfriend?"
I look at him.
Girlfriend?
"No make it four. For Melissa" He says looking at me.
"No, two is okay"
"Four is okay too"
When we get outside and enter the car I decided to ask.
"Girlfriend?"
"Uh yes."
"When did I become your girlfriend?"
"From the moment I saw you in that restaurant Rose, I knew you were mine, and I'm never letting you go." He says confidently.
"So, I'm yours now?"
"Yes love. I really like you Rose"
"I.. I like you too"
"Well that settles it then."
He starts the car and off we go.
