Present
The sound of the bedroom door opening pulls me out of my mind. There is no need for me to look up as I already know who is here.
Even if I didn't recognize the sound of his shoes as he walks toward me. I never could, but now I would know.
Not from the scent in the air of his cologne but from the evil aura of death that clings to him like a second shadow, a silent man, for a silent monster, the evilest of its kind.
“Already waiting for your punishment. Very good, but today I don't have time. I need to leave in ten minutes so let's make this quick, shall we, stand up and face the window.”
This is the Lucca I know, this is the man who married me by force with a gun to my head, who left me in a ditch naked so his men could rape me and torture me with fire and metal rods.
This is the man who lives in my hell. My very own demon.
Obedient, I do as he says.
I don't flinch as I once did when I hear him slide his belt out of the hoops of his pants.
My back does not arch as he grazes my spine with the buckle.
I shut my eyes, focus on the colors I see mixed between the blackness and open my mouth as the first lash of the buckle hits my shoulder.
