He shifted from one foot to another, he regained his composure and said "you really look radiant and beautiful" normally I would have been flattered but coming from you, all I see is insincerity laced all over" she replied, “Common Michelle, for how long would you treat me this way, this divorce has drained me, am not myself any longer, I want you back please, I want you back into my life, I need....." before he could finish " hey! Stop it right there, Lana please go upstairs, daddy and I need to talk alone okay" "okay mommy" her face was drawn she didn't understand why are parents always argued, she walked slowly “Lana! Walk smartly" her pace increased, once she was out of sight Michelle resumed " Mark I have had enough of your lies, your cheating, your beating, this divorce has healed so many physical scars" he stepped closer, put both hands on her shoulders, his eyes darkened with remorse "Michelle I love you, I can't be with any other, I promise to treat you right this time" she gently took his hands off, she touched underneath her left eye, there was a black patch there, she tilted her head to the side and touched a scar, her eyes welled with hot tears, she unbuttoned her blouse, took it off and was left with her black bra, he looked at her in amusement and wondered what she would do next, his eyes shifted from her face to her skin, it was so flawless, she turned her back towards him He saw a dark scar he made with his belt when he came back drunk, she turned to face him again "Do you know the greatest scar you made on me, he shook his head, she touched the left side of her chest "my heart, you have created a huge scar there" she wore her blouse, walked towards the door Opened it " Mark, get out of my life", he fell to his knees, his hands clasped together "Michelle there is nothing and no one out there for me, please don't kick me out of your life like this, I promise to be a better man, husband and father" "Do you how many times you beat me in front of Lana, do you know how many times she cried when you hit me, do you remember that she stopped crying at a point because she saw it as a normal thing, I don't want my daughter to see it as a normal thing, because it's freaking abnormal, now when I say get out I mean it with every fiber In me”. His face changed, he got up and moved briskly towards her, her heart skipped, she swallowed, he got to the door and slammed it shut, held her wrist firmly, she winced, " you are going to be with me whether you like it or not" Am never going to be with a monster like you Mark" her pitch increased, a stinging slap landed across her face suddenly, it made her ear ring, her free hand involuntarily touched her cheek, the hot sensation still lingered, before she could utter any protest he twisted her hand to the back, she whimpered "Mark please let go of my arm" " not until you accept me back " " I would never do that" she struggled to break free, but he held her tight. His eyes became blank, he threw her to the floor, repeatedly kicked her, a kick got to her left ribs, she screamed, he dragged her up, held her throat firmly, she was out of breath, " Michelle are you coming back to me" he asked husky in a voice. " Mark I am never going back to a mad man" He got extremely angry, pushed her to the floor, ripped her blouse open, flung it aside, his eyes filled with a dark desire, he tore off her bra, her full breast in full glare. She struggled but he pinned her down firmly, one hand held her hands, the other rested on one breast, he tried to kiss her but she shook her hand vigorously, that got him pissed, he pinched her nipple so hard it brought tears to her eyes. A tap on his shoulders made him stop He turned to see a face with no expression " daddy please leave mommy alone " he got up and pushed her, she fell but quickly stood up without uttering laid next to her sobbing mom " you look like your whore mother, I have nothing to do with whores". He took the banquet of white roses flung it at them and stormed out, banging the door so hard, the house seemed to shake. Lana gently wiped the tears from her mother's face with her palm, Michelle pulled her closer, wrapped her arms around her "am sorry you had to see this honey ". Mommy let's leave this place, "We will honey, we will very soon ".She placed her palm on her throbbing nipple to calm the painful sensation.
