Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Abusive Man : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

I ran down the dark and narrow alleyway, that was littered with trash. My blonde hair that had been styled to absolute perfection this morning, was now a mess blowing in the nights breeze.The September breeze was cold,but the cold was the least of my worries..There was blood on my hands..Blood of the man that I had just married a few hours previous. Blood of the man that has been making my life a living hell for two years.Dead or Alive? I didn't know the answer to that question. I hit him hard enough, but I didn't wait around long enough to find out if I had killed him. I need to put distance between us now,as much distance that I can. Jesus Christ! I don't even know where I'm going to go. But staying here isn't an option for me anymore.In a single bathroom at the bus station, I looked in the dirty floor lenght mirror at myself. I saw the face of a girl I didn't recognise. I didn't feel like the Emilia Darcy that I once knew. Bef

I was laying on my back with my phone to my ear as I chatted to Claire. It's been 2 weeks since I've seen her and that was a record for us. I miss her! I miss our chats!But the two weeks that I've spent in LA have been pretty okay. I've spent most of it indoors except for my walks with Max. But I feel safe in Zachary's home. I like it here."How are you doing?"Claire asked."I worry about you being alone all the time,it's not good for you."I clicked my tongue off the roof of my mouth."I'm okay, don't worry. I have Max for company.""A Dog is not company,Milly. It's not as if you can have a conversation with him.""I chuckled."A dog doesn't argue with me,he's exactly what I need. I feel safe here-In this house. When I'm outside it's a different story.""T

I was stood in the kitchen mixing my second bowl of cookie dough while my first was cooling on a plate on the counter. Of course my thoughts went to Liam,I was remembering all the times that I made him his favourite cookies. I hate that he's in everything I do. Instead of continuing to mix the dough, I threw the bowl into the sink with a rage and it splattered everywhere."Ugh, You're such an idiot!!" A throat cleared behind me,causing me to turn around."That's some early morning rage you've got. Are you okay?"Zachary asked. He was standing in a fitted navy suit that looked expensive,it had a white shirt underneath and a navy tie that pieced his whole look together. How has he managed to

I was mid way through my first shift at my new job. Cove was a small bar,that had the usual regulars in day in day out but once it hits evening time it starts to get a little busier..or so I'm told. I liked that it was quite,it was exactly what I needed. Pouring pints wasn't something that I done before so a quite bar ment a little less pressure. "How am I doing,Lynn?"I asked,while pouring maybe a little too much head on a pint. She was observing from beside me. "That's a little too much head,Darling. But it's okay you're doing good,just tilt your glass slightly."She tilted the glass with me and the rest of the pint poured perfectly. "It worked,Great!"Well it wasn't exactly great but I was getting the hang of it. "You're doing well,Kate. How do you like it?"Lynn asked,while setting the undrinkable pint to the side. "Well I thought pouring pints wo

EMILIA That kiss... Ugh, It shouldn't have happened!! I like Zach,he's a really sweet guy when you get to know him. I can't deny the attraction I have towards him too.But it hasn't been that long since I left Liam,it would be a huge mistake getting involved with another man. Wouldn't it? Things are going to be awkward living with him from here on out. It's best that I do what I can and get the hell out of here. Maybe I can take Michelle up on her couch offer. I walked in the front door planning on going to my room straight away. I had even bought some snacks on my way home from work,just so I could avoid him...Well that was until I saw the candles lighting on the table and the red wine chilling in a bucket. Zach was in the kitchen with a cloud of smoke around him. "Kate..Is it that time already? I didn't realise."He coughed, and swung the tea towel in
