More Than Lust

Grace's pov

After taking shower i finally came out of the washroom. My eyes are burning after crying, i am used to it by now.

I wore dress and got ready for the work. No matter how much I hate it, i can't stop working for him otherwise he will destroy us within seconds. My heart burns whenever I thought about my situation. It feels like I am drowning in a bog, i am trying to hold on something to survive, trying to breath but everything is slipping from my hands like wet mud. It's suffocating.

Wiping my tears I did my hair and tried to hide his marks. My neck is full of hickeys.

I wore my old blue dress which is decent enough for office. I am getting short of clothes but shopping is the last thing which I should do right now. I can't do it when I have mountain of debt on my head.

Sighing I walked downstairs, we have small two story house which is actually not in very good condition. I don't have money to renovate it. I feel very bad when I see crispy walls and broken furniture.

My stomach growled in hunger, I have to eat something after last night. I feel weak. As usual disappointment flashed on my face when I opened the freezer. It's empty, what was I expecting. I don't even have enough money to buy groceries. After paying the installments of loan i only get one thousand dollars in my hands from which I have to manage house expenses and other basic things.

I made coffee for myself and sat at the dining table. Looks like it's my only meal today.

I just hope it ends soon. It's been three and half months I am doing this, 15 days more and it will be over. I will be free from him.

"Good morning"

Dad said while coming inside. Where did he come from? Was he out whole night?

"I went for a walk..."

He said while sitting beside me.

"I brought this sandwich for you... I know there is nothing in the freezer."

"Thanks"

I really needed it.

"Grace, how is it going?... Are you doing okay?"

He asked sadly.

"I know It's____"

"Dad, i am fine"

I trailed off.
