Married To My Bully by Sakshi C (read me like a book TXT) 📗

I continued to lie on my sofa without sparing him a glance and keeping my eyes glued to my phone. As if he doesn't exist. He didn't spare me a glance either and went straight to his closet before entering the bathroom. That stung. Him treating me like trash. Like nobody. like a bane. This pained me more than the bruises he gifted me. I was trapped in a loveless marriage. No scratch that. A marriage that was based on hatred and loathe.

And I..despite being assaulted by him a number of times, couldn't bring myself to stop holding expectations from him. I wanted him to give this marriage a chance. To give us a chance. But that didn't seem like a far-fetched dream now.

His father had died years ago. I don't know how but one thing that I had noticed was his eyes turning cold whenever Mrs. Knight talked about her husband. So, is that the reason why he is so cold and hard? 

A shiver ran down my spine as I tried to imagine what he must have gone through. I was so lost in my own mind that I didn't realize when he had turned around and was pinning me with his hateful glare. 

"What are you looking at?" he spat venomously
