"You want to tell me that you got below 90% after all the money I spend just to give you the best education?" Cletus roared at Ezinne. I was holding her shoulders tight while she held  on to my waist for support.

Every time he screamed she flinched and cried.

In the end I realised that he could never ever change. I felt so stupid to believe that he had finally changed just because he started being so nice to us after the miscarriage. I foolishly thought that he had gone back to the Cletus I knew and loved before we got married, but I should have known better. The Cletus I fell in love with never even existed, it was only a facade, a visage, a broke man's trap.

The devil doesn't just become an Angel. And now his true color was showing.

It was funny how I was hurting by something I had seen coming. For one month he had pretended to be a changed person and I knew it was all an act.

I had been certain that he would go back to the monster he was. I saw it In my nightmares and in my dreams still it hurt, because I was Hoping against all odds that the change was real.

I prayed that he changed not because I started to love him again but because I didn't want to hate him. I didn't mind being with him in a loveless marriage as long as he would give me peace and won't mistreat me.

I was even starting to get unbothered by his incessant cheating, I had accepted my fate on that.
