CHAPTER ONE

My name is Cherall Reid and I am on the run again. Once more he has found me and I know I am not strong enough to fight him back. Maybe I should start from the beginning of how we met. It was a warm sunny day and I was meeting my friend Angel at this new coffee shop. Angel was bringing her lover Sam and his friend along with him name Chris.

Chris was a police cadet and he was top of his class. I was in my senior year of college when I met him and before that, my friends kept setting me up with guys they thought were right for me. Therefore, when I saw him all I could think was, here we go again, but he was cool and I thought he was cute so we dated for a while then we became a couple.

In the beginning, he was so sweet but things change people change as the years went by we did everything together. I loved him so much. On April twenty ninth, two thousand we got married. It was a beautiful wedding, even though everybody said we were too young. I didn’t care, I loved him and I knew he loved me. His sister tried to warn me how he gets when he’s mad, however, I didn’t listen.

For some reason, after we got back home, from our honeymoon, he changed. It seemed I couldn’t do anything to please him, and I tried, lord knows I tried. One day after we got home from his mother’s house, as soon as the front door shut, he went off on me. I didn’t even know why. All I said was I really wish your mother would be a little nicer to me. I do not know what more I can do to please her.

You need to stop acting so shy and start being more interactive around her and she will be, said Chris.

I am trying!, I protested I have been sweet to her ever since you and I got together.

All of a sudden he slaps me and told me I don’t fucking dare talk back to him like that and if I talk down to him again I will get worse shit done to me than just a few slaps.

Ever since then I have been hit sometimes for no reason and he is always yelling at me or cursing me out. I thought he loved me so why would he do this to me. In March of thousand and two Chris cheated on me with a woman named Tiffany. I found out because she came by one day thinking I wasn’t there and I guess he thought I was gone as well. I caught them before they started.

I was so angry with him and hurt. How could he do this to me I’m his wife? Needless to say me and her got into a fight and I was yelling at Chris asking him why did he do this to me and that I am a good wife to him so why would he do this to me.

Later that night Chris came back home from being out all that day, he was drunk and had been smoking he walked right up to me and backhand slapped me in the mouth. He just kept on punching me he told me if you were fucking doing what I told you to do and acting right this shit would not have happen.

We fought for a week and in that week, he sent me to the hospital with two broken ribs. I know he was just upset. He always said if I didn’t watch my mouth he would hit me in it. However, he always said things he didn’t mean when he was mad and ended up hitting me. He does love me and I love him.

I know what people think and what they would say I shouldn’t let him do all this to me but, I’m really not it’s just he gets so angry that he do stuff he don’t mean to do. I think I lost myself then now I am so scared of him and I do not know what he will do to me next.

Since then I have been beaten all most every day, even if I forget to do something he told me to do. I don’t hang out as much as I use to with my friends and family because he has me doing so much here. Four months after he cheated on me I tried going out with my friend Angel and left my phone at home.

Chris called me seven times that day. When I got home that night with Angel he was there sitting on the couch. He was acting nice as if he didn’t mind I went out to have fun and take some time for myself, but I was wrong. I was never so frightened of him in my life. He has hurt me before but I knew he was going to try to kill me when my friend left. Once she pulled off and left me he came in the front room, pulled me up by my hair dragging me down the hall saying,

You know damn better then to leave this fucking house without asking me first! What the hell were you thinking? Then you left for this fucking long!

I was only gone for three hours, I said.

WHAT! Have you lost your damn mind? You do not fucking talk back to me and I had been calling you all god damn afternoon! I left work just to look for your dumb ass! Get in the room now!

I went in the room crying and sat on the bed to wait for him to come in the room. When he came in, I was crying and begging him to forgive me. I told him I was sorry. All he said was you are sorry then started punching me in the face. I was stuck between the wall and the bed and he just kept on hitting and kicking me making me feel even lower.

He spit on me the next day before he went to work he told me that the house had to be clean from top to bottom, and dinner better be ready and hot for him to eat as soon he hit the door. He made out a list of chores for me to do around the house while he was at work and had nanny cams installed to make sure I did everything that is on the list.

Even if I had to work that day, everything on his list had to be done before he returned home. If he gets off before me, his dinner had better be ready and in the microwave so he can warm it up. If I miss something when I get home that is my ass because he told me what I had to do.

His house had five bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a sunroom, and a big kitchen with a big backyard. I had to have everything done before he came home. For example, if the windows were already clean I had to clean them again inside and out or be hit when he comes home.

It never fails. Chris came in and checked everything then he grabbed a beer, sat down and watched the nanny cam to see what I had been up too all day. If he finds something I missed, he hits me I try not to make him angry I want him to be happy and for him to just love me the way he used to. He is my world and I want to be a good wife to him and please him but things have been getting worst over the years.

We have been married for three years now and at home, I feel like a prisoner, but at work, I feel free. I have been getting close to one of the new doctors named Kelvin Who. His last name is a little weird but he is nice, cute, and sweet and he helped me out a lot like when I came to work with a black eye. Even though we did not know each other that well, he still helped me and we became close friends over the months. I was always talking to him.

Chris did not know or he was waiting for me to slip up or he did not care because he was still messing with that hoe Tiffany I knew he was. Therefore, one day before our big cookout party well three months before Kelvin came over to talk to me to see if I was all right because I really had not been myself at work but instead we end up having sex. Ok this how it happen he came over and we started talking

Cherall how are you doing said Kelvin

Good I told him

You don’t look good you look depressed

No everything is fine me and Chris are still fighting a little.

A little the last time you came to work you had another black eye, how is that alright

Kelvin don’t start what do you want me to say yes Chris hits me and yes I’m not happy cause I try so hard to please him but, nothing works.

Then leave him

I can’t I love him

Cherall love is not letting that man do this to you but, you don’t want to listen to me

That’s not true I’m trying to make sure my marriage don’t end. Would that be so bad Cherall I love you and you know that you also know I want to be with you let me take care of you crying I told him he should not say thing like that and I will not leave Chris

Don’t you love me?

Yes,

Then come home with me before I could answer he kissed me then I kissed him back and next thing I knew. We was making love right in the front room floor I knew it was wrong and if Chris found out he would chock me or do something worst. So that’s why I had hide the camera after we had finished I knew I made a big mistake.

Oh no what have I done Kelvin you have to go Chris is going to kill me?

No he isn’t come home with me and I’ll take care of you.

No I can’t go just leave please

Cherall so what just happen means nothing to you

Yes but

This was a mistake but what

I shouldn’t have done that and we should have never kissed Kelvin I’m married."

To an abusive husband who treats you like shit I don’t understand you love me right

Yes,

And I love you just leave with me

No Kelvin go just go

I won’t stop loving you or giving up on you.

I didn’t know Chris had another camera hidden where I couldn’t see it and it caught the whole thing with me and Kelvin. As soon as he left I went straight back to work cleaning up, cooking and did everything else I needed to do before Chris came home that night.

But like I said before I didn’t know he had another camera like always he came home got the camera to watch it to see what I was doing all day. I don’t know why I stayed but, I did and sat on the other side of him in the loveseat. He sat in his recliner and pushed play when he saw I had covered it up and he could not see anything he looked at me with this pissed look got up, got a beer.

CHAPTER TWO

Then slowly walked to my big flower pot and pulled out another camera, my heart dropped down to my feet and I tried to leave to go. Anywhere just not there with him at that moment cause once he seen what I done he was going to kill me but, he wouldn’t let me leave.

What’s wrong Cherall you look worried about something you shouldn’t be you said you did all your chores right said Chris

Yes I told him.

Ok then sit your ass back down watch the damn tape with me. Then he got up and locked all the doors Chris said

If you did all your chores then you don’t have anything to worry about but, if you didn’t then you might as well get ready because I’m going to put my size fifteen shoe in your ass.

I knew he knew something was up with me that am why he wanted me to stay Chris asked me.

Is there anything I wanted to tell him or say to him before he started the video. I told him no, that I did everything you wanted me to do today he said.

Ok now if I just blank on your ass it’s your fault cause you could have came clean an only got yelled at a little bit but, now it’s too late so whatever it is get ready cause I’m going to hurt you. Are you sure that nothing went on here today that you need to tell me you can talk to me as long it’s in the right tone.

He said once he watch the whole thing he is going to flip out. Chris I have something but, before I could finish my sentence he told me it was too late he wanted to get this over with. As he pushed play I was shaking and my life flash in front of me I couldn’t move, I can’t breathe all I heard was him calling me a bitch.

I knew you and that fucking quack was fucking behind my back (I’m sorry I didn’t mean to it just happen) I tried to say to him but, nothing came out but,

I’m sorry

You’re right you are sorry. A sorry ass woman said Chris he grabbed me and started slapping and hitting me in my head, chest, and everywhere else.

If you think that I am not going to kill that fucking quack of a doctor when I see him. Your wrong and as for you if you look, talk to him or any other man I will end your life do you understand me. No, now on I want you to hold your damn head down when a man talk to you matter of fact don’t talk to anyone unless I tell you to. I will be with you for now on when you go out said Chris

I am so sore he beat me so bad that my arm hurts I think it’s broken along with a rib, I have a black eye, and bruises all over. I shouldn’t have slept with Kevin I knew he would react this way and I did it anyway I had to call out of work for three weeks. I still see Kelvin but, only for work and then we are not alone Chris made sure of that one of his friends wife be with me at work always.

She told me I shouldn’t have made him mad just do what he wants me to do and leave it alone she said it worked for her now Leon don’t hit on her any more I told her ok and I will do what she said if it will help. It didn’t work he sore I was still doing something behind his back when I wasn’t today is the day of our party and everything is ready Chris has threaten me six times since this morning.

I am so tired but, I can’t show it because Chris will be mad, every time I’m alone I cry to myself earlier he slapped me when I didn’t hurry up and come to him. When he called for me I ask myself why do I stay with him I know the answer but, yet I still ask myself that question.

Hmm what no one knows is I have had three miscarriages because Chris has beaten me so badly but, I can’t leave he’s my everything, my rock and without him I’m nothing an I have nothing so you see why I can’t leave where would I go trust me.

He will find me no matter what I do or where I go his guest is starting to arrive and he’s given me that look like I better not say anything to anybody. Everything is going good my and his family is getting along good. They really never been in the same room with each other since the wedding Kelvin just arrive with some paper work I wanted him to look up for me as soon as Kelvin hit the door.

Chris was right there in his face telling him he got some nerve showing up at his house.

I called him Chris

Why

I needed him to bring me some papers from work, and I promise he won’t stay long

You damn right he won’t and I’m not going anywhere till he does. And you better not look at him or you will get slap get the damn papers and let this joke of a quack take his ass home said Chris

Who you’re calling a quack you second rate cop take your ass on. You can’t beat a real man that’s why you hit on your wife, Kelvin said to Chris

PLEASE STOP! Fighting the guest can hear you

I don’t give a fuck what they can hear and I know you are not raising your mother fucking voice at me.

No, I just was saying everybody can hear and it would ruin the party that’s all I told Chris,

Hush before I hit you and end this fucking party he told me

Don’t talk to her like that if she thinks your acting like an ass she can tell you so you’re not her father said Kelvin they went on for a while so I left to check on our families and make sure they didn’t really know what was going on.

When I got back in the front room Tiffany was their holding a baby all I thought was oh no she’s here and with a baby my heart started to break and I wanted to cry. She was here claiming that Chris was the father he cannot be I started thinking of the babies I lost because of him hitting me my whole body started shaking.

I looked at Chris and started crying I know you didn’t make a baby with her a killed our babies by hitting on me she have got to go I don’t want her in my house Chris.

She stay’s because if that little boy is mine you are going to get over it and help raise him do you understand.

Yes, I told Chris Tiffany looked at me then said

I don’t want that girl raising my baby our baby Chris I came over here to bring you home with me we belong together not you and her so are you coming home to your family or not said Tiffany.

I am home and when I want her to have a child she will but, not until she’s trained as for now no she still can’t keep her mouth shut and be a good little wife. And as for the baby if he’s mine I will take care of him and so will she he told her Chris looked at me and said do you have anything to say

Yes, she can get a DNA test done cause she did sleep around with everybody and their brothers you ask me she nothing but, a stupid hoe who try to take every ones man.

Cherall that’s enough can you do the damn DNA test or not that’s all I want to know not that she’s a hoe or any sort know what just go get your bag and do the damn test. However, before I could
