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

"Could you please call, Mom?" My voice strained

"She is not home. Tell me what's wrong," he said in a gentle tone and worried look. 

"Ohhh... Actually.. I needed to talk to Mom," 

"Is it about Alex? Did he do something?" I saw anger flashing in his eyes. 

I couldn't respond as tears trickled down my eyes. Even the mention of his name had this effect on me. 

"Mom hid a lot of things from me about him," I replied absently

His face visibly paled when I let out those words. Does he know? About the murder? 

"What did Alex tell you?" he asserted in a very serious tone. Now there was not a shred of doubt. He knew. 

"You know....You know that he has killed," I said realizing. Betrayel shone in my eyes. Everybody betrayed me. Everybody. 

"I can't believe he told you this," he murmured under his breath. 

"Crystal... You need to sit down," he said pleadingly. I was astounded. Completely startled that he thought he can justify a murder. 

"You all betrayed me for your selfish interest. How could you all be so insensitive? I was living with a murderer," I shiddered when I said those words. 

"Let me explain, child?"

"How on earth can you explain a murder? You can't justify a murder," I said. Horror written all over my face. 

"You know what,  I am tired of it. Tired of people using me as a pawn in their own game. I am leaving your psychotic son," I spat out. Venom laced my voice and turned around. 

I walked towards the door with a steel resolve but what he said next had me stop dead in the track. My mind ceased to function for a good long moment when his unbelievable fell into my ear. And a cold chill ran up my spine. 

"You can justify a kill if you do it to save yourself from constant beating, thrashing, and...and being sexually abused."
