Chapter 1 Prologue

• MIA LYON
• Chris pulled me with him towards the entrance of our mansion and I struggled to remove my hand from his grip. "Let go of me!" I cried out.
• His hold on me was tight and I was starting to feel pain in my wrist. I struggled to let go but his hold on me was too strong. I was having difficulty trying to catch up with the pace he walked with. He took long strides up the steps, making me almost lose my balance.
• "You are hurting me!" I cried out again.
• This time Chris stopped and looked at me with the same scowl he had since he dragged me away from the party, carried me, and placed her on his shoulder.
• I struggled to get off. He was being too tough on me and I was sure his actions would leave bruises on my skin.
• "Let go of me, Chris! You are hurting me!" I cried but he paid no heed to my tears, I mean when has he? 
• He entered our room and closed the door hard.
• He threw me on top of the bed and I bounced twice before balancing on the bed. Tears streamed down my cheek. Ever since I married him, all he did was hurt me either physically or emotionally and now he was doing it mentally too.
• He has hurt me without caring and never for once have I thought of doing the same back to him. "I hate you!" I can, rubbing my bruised wrist all thanks to his stronghold on them.
• My heart ached so much. All Chris has ever done was inflict pain on me just as he promised on our wedding night and I am done with him. "I hate you." I cried out again.
• "Of course, you would. The real you is coming out and you are trying to act all innocent!" He accused.
• I sniffled a little. I didn't understand any of his accusations. He had pulled away from Daniel, the only person who had decided to speak to me at the event and make me feel involved so rudely and harshly without giving me a minute to bade him farewell.
• I stared at him furrowing my brows. "Innocent?" I asked rhetorically.
• "Yes, that's what you are Mia! You are nothing but a hypocrite! You act so naively yet you are not. Going around seducing men and then acting as if you do not know what you are doing!" He accused.
• I opened her mouth in disbelief. I have never done any of what he had accused me to do and I felt so hurt that it came from him. The only man I ever wanted to seduce was him and each time I tried dressing nice for him, he never failed to remind me of her place and tell me to forget ever trying to impress him. 
• "You can't speak, can you? All you do is cry and make everyone feel bad but the truth is, you are a pretender who loves nothing more than attention. You act like saints but you are not! You are a cheater!" He exclaimed exasperatedly.
• If anything I hated in life, it was being accused of what I was not, and each time Chris has never failed to not do so but I always forgave him because I could not find it in me not to just by looking at his face but this time he has gone too far.
• Tears filled my eyes as I stared at Chris in anger. I have never been angry with him even when he said hurtful words to me but now he had done more than enough and there was no way I will be able to get over it.
• "I hate you," I said through gritted teeth. I clenched my fist clenched, trying to control the rage I felt. I have never felt the need to say words back at him but now I felt the need to.
• "Of course, you will hate me! Go on! Tell me how much you hate me! One minute you are trying to seduce me by wearing those little outfits and another minute you are seducing another with those fucking eyes of yours! You do everything you do intentionally and then act like it wasn't! Being too friendly with that man in my presence proved that you have been pretending all this while. You try to act like the perfect wife but you are not. You are a cheat!" He spat out making my heart clench at the words he had just uttered.
• I have always been faithful to him but all I got from him was the opposite. He was the one who had left me on their wedding night and came back three days after.
• He was the one who had kissed a supermodel in front of me to remind me that I was nothing but an arrangement in his life. "Unfaithful?" I scoffed.
• I wiped the tears from her eyes. "Unfaithful?" I repeated, in disbelief.
• "You should describe yourself with that adjective because you are the most intolerable human on earth!" I exclaimed in anger.
• I was done letting him hurt me all over and over again. I would not let him do it again. 
• Chris was speechless by my words and I could tell it from my facial expression. He has never heard me speak this way before and so he was surprised and I was glad he was. 
• I got up from the bed and stood on my feet with my arms folded across my chest.
• "You know what Chris. You win." 
• "You win Chris! You win!" I cried out.
• "All I have ever done was try to be the best wife for you but this is all I get in return? I am not the one who constantly breaks the oath we made on the alter but you and this is all I get?" 
• I sniffled. "I will stay away from you but I definitely won't divorce you so just do as you want. Feel free to do whatever you want but never you..." I pointed her index finger at her. "Never accuse me of what I am not because I can take everything off your hurtful words but not your stupid accusations!" I spat out before walking out of the room.
