Author POV:
"I am so sorry, Please. I- I didn't mean to do it honestly" She said while shuttering and sitting on her knees, holding her hands in front of her own husband after He slapped her and is now standing in front of her holding a belt in his hand. Burning in anger because she just simply smiled at another Man's joke.
"You are just a whore who likes to get intimate with every other man rather then your Own Husband." He said as he stretched his hand and hit her with the belt making more warm tears to escape from her eyes but she was not allowed to shout or scream even if it was hurting as hell.
He hit her multiple times and she just sat there while covering her parts as her clothes were been ripped by all the beating.
He finally stopped after minutes as he started breathing heavily and she was laying on the floor covering her chest with her hands and closing her eyes while crying.
"Bithches like you deserve this." He yelled still looking at her and breathing heavily while she just listened to him without saying anything.
"I should have never married you at the first place" He again yelled before walking towards her and kicking her on stomach making her open her eyes and cry more tears silently. He left from there without looking back.
The night passed like that as she slept there on the floor after loosing her energy completely and feeling nauseas by all the beating and low Strength.
Soon the morning occurred as she slowly opened her eyes when a ray of sunlight fell on her face. She looked at the window completely blank because The new days were always the same for her.
She never got the chance to enjoy her life the way she always wanted and after marrying Her husband because of her family, her life completely changed not giving her the chance to even think about her surroundings, Her life is same from the last two years she never looked at the morning sunrise the same way she used to. It's now the same day everyday for her, a same day with new punishments. She's tired Of her life and herself.
Getting up Slowly from the floor she walked towards the bathroom to get freshen up and leave for her office.
Yes, She's glad that her husband atleast allowed her to work and Earn something rather than sitting at home all day. She works as An normal employee in a bank and she has to make many calls a day making her tired and stressed. She has to manage the Bank most of the time and take care of other belonging. Her Offline and online work both are hectic and she works 13 hours a day. Her salary is enough to feed 4 people properly and that's the only thing that keeps her calm but she still gets confused cause she's working there from last 2 months only and she's still new to these kind of works.
Entering the bathroom she washed her face and looked at her own reflection in the mirror. There were few scratches on her neck and jawline. Her hands were hurting along with her legs. There were blue marks on her back and hands covered with new marks and scratches that were red because of the dry blood. She sighed this was her, from past two year.
Jiwoo.
Jung Jiwoo, Born As Choi Jiwoo. 22 years old Wife of Jung Yeong an HR at the White emerald Enterprises. Their marriage took place two years ago when her parents forced her cause this was the best partner for her according to them but only after three months of marriage he showed his real self to her leaving her in disbelief and regret. Unfortunately she was warned to not tell anything to her parents otherwise she will regret it more But she never wanted to tell about it to her family cause she knew they will blame her anyways.
She has always been a burden to them and this is why they married her off at just the age of 20.
She again washed her face and sighed before Getting a bath and changing her clothes before applying ointment on her wounds to recover them as soon as she can.
Wearing a Blue jeans, White full sleeved shirt with a turtle neck and a white sweater cause it was already mid-February. Her hairs were tied in a ponytail as she wore her shoes and picked up her side purse along with few important documents before leaving the place and heading towards Her office.
She entered the office greeting the staff and co-workers happily hiding her pain before sitting on her respective seat and starting with the work.
*FEW HOURS LATER*
After working for hours she finally closes the laptop and Stretched her arms To relax a little. She yawned as she looked at the clock which said it has already been 2:00 P.m which means she has been working On the laptop from past 5 hours. But she's happy that the documents she was working on with all her soul and mind and spent sleepless nights on was finally ready for the presentation, which was A week later.
She got up from the chair and headed towards the canteen to have lunch with her female co-workers. She sighed and walked until she reached the canteen.
She served her Food in her plate and walked towards the table her Friends were sitting on. Smiling at them she sat down Followed by the other two. They were only a 4 friend group and she was glad she had them. Iseul, Naeyeon, Aeri and Jiwoo.
Among all of them Iseul is her Best friend.
She smiled at them as they smile back and their conversation started.
Iseul : How are you baby girl? *Smile*
Jiwoo : I am good what about you.
She fake smiled making sure she looks happy cause her friends do not know about her personal life as she does not want to trouble them knowing how dangerous and egoistic man Yeong was.
As she looked down and started eating her food. Aeri and Naeyeon also started eating their food but Iseul just looked at Jiwoo cause she was looking so pale and weak and was eating as if she had starved herself for Days.
Iseul just nodded to herself deciding to have a talk with Jiwoo once she gets Home or is free.
She started eating her food as well as they all talked about their Office work and a Little of personal things cause they knew Jiwoo was never comfortable to share that with them since they have only known each other for almost a year.
Going back to their Respective places they continued their work as the evening falls by.
*7:00 P.m*
While Jiwoo was packing her stuff she felt someone's presence behind her. As she looked To her right she found Iseul standing their with a weak smile.
Jiwoo smiled back at her and asked.
Jiwoo : What you doing here?
Iseul : I know you won't answer me but, How is Mr. Yeong?
A shiver ran inside Jiwoo's spine by just hearing his name as she gulped a little harder than she should making her uncomfortableness completely visible on her face as she looked at her stuff again and started packing everything Quickly.
Jiwoo : H-he's fine.
She shuttered for the nth time in front of Iseul and this happens every time she asks her about her husband and Iseul was sure that something was not right and Jiwoo was scared or maybe was forced to not say it? She has been watching her for almost a year now and her being a good friend knows that she is suffering from something which she never was even ready for.
Cause who tf gets married at 20? Just because her Finace is nice and sweet?
According to Iseul, Jiwoo is an intelligent and Kind lady she could've achieved more from what she has now.
Iseul sighed.
Iseul : Ok, So now tell me can I call you at 9:00 today?
After hanging her side purse and holding few files in her hand she looked at Iseul and said.
Jiwoo : If I don't pick up just know that I am busy or I am sleeping don't call more than twice please.
She said the please with straight eyes looking directly at Iseul eyes as her eyes Glittered with little tears wanting to come out but she turned around and walked away after saying. "Bye, Good night and text me when you reach home."
*AT JIWOO'S HOME*
She reached Home and placed everything at its place before changing her clothes after taking a warm bath since It was still cold. And a little snow fall was taking place she wore her night dress and her hairs were open as they were wet.
Just then her phone rang and it was from Iseul so she just smiled and picked it up immediately.
*OTP*
Jiwoo : Hi!
Iseul : Hello Baby girl.
Soon Iseul started a conversation which was funny and illogical to distract Jiwoo since her plan was different to call her this late at night.
It had been 30 minutes since they were talking and Iseul was encouraging And Making Jiwoo Confident to speak up which Jiwoo was not aware about cause She was using a different way. She first said her Words which Jiwoo thought was normal but Were actually Giving her Dead Soul, a little Hope.
Finally when Jiwoo was about to say something. She sighed and said.
Jiwoo : I hate My hus-
Her words got cut off when she felt a hard hand gripped around her hairs tightly as the phone fell from her hand on the floor as she screamed when he dragged her to the living room by her hair as his grip was tight.
Yeong : You hate who huh? How dare you even think of another men huh? You ain't going anywhere for a week now you understood??
She looked at him with teary eyes while shooking her head in A "NO" because she has a very important meeting coming up the next week. So she tried to speak as he glared at her and grabbed her by chin leaving her hairs as tears fall out from her eyes saying.
Jiwoo : It--i-it was n--not a man. --it-was I--Is--Ise---Iseul.
She said between her sobs and pain while he smriked.
Yeong : You were telling her about something you hate rather than telling me about it?? Huh??.
She pushed him away and held his feet looking down she said.
Jiwoo : Please, Mr. Jung let me go to my office at least I have a very important meeting. Please.
She said the last please while looking at his eyes as he chuckled a little. Holding his temple and rubbing it with his one hand while the other one was in pocket.
Yeong : Huh! Bitch, Bitch, Bitch...
He said as he squatted down and looked at her dead serious.
Yeong : If you are begging this much than okay!! But A punishment will be given to you for talking to a friend this late at night and pushing me away right now.
He said as she looked at him fresh tears flowing down her cheeks. As he looked away and looked again at her before slapping her hard.
He smriked and got up leaving the place as she kept sitting there and cried silently. Her Fate has never been with her but she can't do anything so she silent got up from the floor and went towards her room locking herself inside.
Sliding down the door she cried and cries till she fell asleep due to tiredness and Stress.
*THE NEXT MORNING*
Slowly Opening her eyes as the small rays of sunlight fell on her face. She rubbed her eyes and got up from the floor moving towards the Bathroom she took a bath. Changing her clothes wearing A white crop top under a yellow Turtle neck sweater and white denim jeans.
Before Picking up her phone and and side purse she tied up her hair in a ponytail cause her Husband does not like her hair down.
She left the Apartment and went to her Office. Entering Inside she Saw Iseul Waiting for her standing infront folding her hands over her chest. She was looking Angry and disappointed.
She went towards her and smiled a little. Iseul placed her hand over Jiwoo's right cheek and carefully rubbed her thump over Jiwoo's bruise.
But what she said next made Jiwoo to step back a little as her eyes widened as her eyes got teary.
Iseul : I heard everything over the phone, yesterday. MS. CHOI JIWOO.
