Chapter 8: CHAPTER 7
"You called me, Zeke…?" Danica entered the room as she stood attentively in front to him. Zeke was working on his office desk.
He looked up at her, eyes showing no signs of hardness as he sighed softly relaxing himself.
"Yes. D-Did you have your lunch?" He questioned, eye penetrating through her as he observed her actions carefully not to creep her out.
"Yes." She answered looking at him as she knew he didn't like it when she didn't reply to him while looking at him.
"Good girl." He praised before opening his mouth to speak again, "Do you still feel weak?"
Danica shook her head in response as he nodded in response.
"You can now go." Zeke said.
Danica bite her lower lip before turning around to walk out of the room.
Zeke straightened back before going back into working as he saw Danica walking out of the office room. Danica went to their room as she sighed and laid down on the bed. She was too bored, not knowing what to do she sighed again before getting up. She got up taking out one of the book she had bought and started reading it.
She always loved books. Fictional books, on how easily she could forget the harsh reality when she read them. How easily she would get lost in them. She smiled flipping through the pages as she continued to read the book.
Though her smile soon dropped as she remembered the date. It was almost the end of the month. Her mother must be waiting for her next month salary and she hadn't told him about her quitting the job yet. Gulping down her saliva, she picked up her phone as she dialed her Mother's number.
Rings after rings. She didn't pick it up. Ending the call she once again called her mother as her mother answer the call after 5 rings this time.
(On the phone)
"What is it?" Her tone harsh, she spat through the phone making Danica flinch.
"M-Mom. How are you?" Danica asked. She heard a sigh in other line.
"I'm fine. What is it that you had to say?" Her mother answer. Danica felt nervously bite her lower lip before speaking.
"Uhm..Mom. A-actually, Zeke want me to quit my job.. I h-had to resign from my jo-" Danica once again flinched as she heard a gasp and yell.
"So, you're telling me you won't be sending us any money?!" her mother asked. She slightly felt tremble.
"I had to quit, mother. I'm so sor-" She tried apologizing but stopped. She was cut off by her mother.
"Save it. We don't want you anymore. Listen to Zeke and that's it we no longer want to have any relation with you! Do you understand?Don't ever step in my house again!" She yelled and ended the call making Danica close her eyes.
Closing the book she was reading before, she quickly laid down on the bed, pulling the duvet over her head as she bite her lower lip stopping the tears from flowing, tired of being weak. She was really tired. But she didn't realize the fact that she was not weak. Rather a strong person she was. Seeing cruelty and still being kind. It was something not so many could do. Yet she called herself weak.
Stepping inside the house, Zeke lightly groaned stretching his shoulder as he felt pain making him to quickly hold his arm. He walked to his room expecting to see his wife sleeping but found no one. He squinted his eyebrows in response.
It was 8:38 PM already and she wasn't supposed to be out at night especially without telling him. He put ointments on his bruises as he sat on the bed putting on another shirt as he sat there using his phone.
Minutes passing as he found no Danica back in the room. He walked downstairs before asking the maids about her.
"We haven't seen Mrs. Lee, sir." They maid said. Zeke clenched his jaw in response before walking to the guards.
"Where the fuck is, Danica?" He ask to the guards that some of them looked down and feeling scared.
"Sir.. Mrs. Danica went outside alone. She said she needed to get some stuff and she will be back again. She said she wouldn't go too far."
Zeke looked at them furiously.
"You let her out alone? And you guys never think to tell me or even just mention it earlier?" Zeke angrily questioned making them flinch.
"Sir, she said she will be back after five minutes.."
"And how long has it been now?!" He yelled.
"F*CK! Find her right n–" Zeke stopped speaking as he saw Danica standing at the door with a bag in her hands.
He glared at her before holding her arm tightly and dragging her to their room immediately. The guards looked at them in pity.
"Z-Zeke.. You're h-hurting me." Danica said trying to break free as Zeke yanked her inside the room before yelling loudly.
"Where the fuck were you?!" He screamed. Danica flinched dropping the bag on the floor.
"Answer me, Danica. The f*CK!" He yelled again.
Danica trembled finding words in her mouth that seemed to be lost. She tried speaking as she stuttered but was stopped by Zeke.
"Okay." Zeke pulled her out of the room and toward the balcony. "F*cking stay there for the night! You are not coming inside. You love disobeying me don't you? All I do to save your pathetic self from my enemies and you fucking risking it all!"
He spat then closed the galss door of the balcony and the curtains. Danica slightly shiver as she banged on the door.
"Z-eke..Please listen to me. I need to buy some things outside." She tried speaking loudly as also she tries to open the door, "Please listen to me."
Danica still trying to get his attention but Zeke gritted his teeth in anger as he heard her.
"Please it's very important. Zeke–" Her voice was hoarse indicating she had started crying. Zeke walked to the bed and laid there closing his eyes, ignoring her.
"Please..Zeke, I'm begging. Don't do this to me." Danica start sobbed loudly while Zeke moved his body to the other side not wanting to listen.
Though Danica's sobs reached his ears he managed to ignore them all. He soon drifted off to sleep when he stopped hearing her cry.
Meanwhile, Danica shivered as she wrapped her arms around herself sobbing silently as she closed her eyes soon enough and fainting due to the cold.
