Chapter 78 Her Husband Ran Away From Home

She was so frightened that it didn't even come across her mind to run away. She cowered and curled up, deep inside the cushions of the sofa.

He was like an animalistic predator in the midst of tormenting rage. His hands were strong as he held her and pulled apart her clothes as buttons scattered all over the floor.

She put her hands on her chest to cover herself as her whole body trembled in fear. With her eyes closed, she could feel the sofa shaking vigorously. She could tell that his hand was still bleeding as she could smell the scent of metallic blood mixed with the smell of alcohol.

Essie wanted to scream as loud as she could but her voice was stuck in her throat from the horror. Her breath came in short gasps and couldn't make a single sound. In that moment, all she could do was shake her head pleading and desperately hoping that it would all be over.

He seemed to be under the influence of alcohol, and drunkenness and pain could be seen vividly in his eyes. His big hand held her chin tightly to prevent her from looking away, and he roughly put his lips on hers.

He was using her body with no signs of mercy. She had never seen him act like this before, and couldn't help but feel hurt and just completely confused.

Her mind rummaged, lost at thought searching for reasons as to why this happened to him.

She wondered where all this anger was coming from.

'Is he angry because I asked for a divorce or is he just using her to release his anger towards his situation with Leila?'

She quickly assumed it was the latter.

In her mind, there were no other reasons for him to be so angry since he wanted the divorce so badly.

Unfortunately for her, she had spoken those words at a wrong time and ended up becoming his emot

She pondered if his hand still hurt, if it was still bleeding or if he had even applied any medicine on it yet.

All the worries and anxieties in her mind overwhelmed her, as she spent the night unable to sleep.

There was a nagging feeling of wanting to give him a call, but when she remembered what he had done in the evening, she changed her mind.

This night felt like forever, as it slowly passed with her perpetual thoughts.

When the morning came, Essie went straight to the supermarket and bought some black fish. She heard the soup made from this fish was beneficial for healing wounds. She figured she could cook some for Zac when he came back home.

By this time, she had already made the mature decision to look past his mistake and forgive him.

Especially since they were soon to part ways, she wanted to leave a beautiful memory between the two.

However, the day passed and the night came, and the fish was left frozen in the freezer and Zac had not come home.

The house was completely still and silent that even the echoes of every single one of her movements could be heard.

It seemed as though the man had simply disappeared from the world.
