WIDOW IN MY BED

The atmosphere was so quiet that even Amanda could hear her heart beating in her ears. His breath was tucked away, his hands turned cold, and his eyes glared blankly at an uninvited guest’s arrival. His shrivelled fur shows how scary the current situation is, holding him back from being careless.

Amanda suddenly remembers what happened months ago or years ago when they met as teenagers sitting in school. Amanda and Chris have been friends for a long time, and their parents know each other.

Feeling that she has a match, Amanda finally receives Chris’s declaration of love after the young man wins the cricket match. He told Amanda La Howard, “The most beautiful girl in all of Sydney, my best friend, would you change our relationship from friend to girlfriend?”

Amanda also replied, “Yes, of course, I do.” With a rosy face and an overflowing sense of romance on my chest, she said, “Yes, of course, I do.”

“Chris and Amanda, you will be the greatest couple of the century!” Chris’ reply made Amanda laugh, as did the cheers of the man kissing her new boyfriend and being watched by the entire campus after a love statement that finally became a trending topic for weeks.

At that time, she was just a naive girl whose heart was easily made pounding by a man she thought would never inflict pain, pain, pain, or trauma. Amanda gave her complete confidence.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Even Amanda was still very sure when Chris proposed to her with a romantic dinner and a sparkling diamond ring. The man promised to always love and would never hurt Amanda no matter what happened in the future.

A few months later, they got married. Amanda loves Chris very much with all her heart and soul. Her promise to God is not a lie, despite the storm trying to destroy their household. Still, Amanda with all her might to defend it-only Amanda.

At first, Chris was a man he knew very well and attentively, but there’s no way Amanda would fall in love with a jerk, is there?

However, what people say may be true; we will only look at the mask when dating and forget the natural face.

The woman struggled to give many prayers and opportunities, even though they were in vain until she gave up because she was tired. They’re done now, and they’re divorced.

Meanwhile, all that remains now is an unforgivable mistake from her ex-husband that made Amanda shudder with fear just by hearing her voice.

Mine, do you miss me?

It’s horrifying. Chris’s voice made Amanda unable to move her body. “Don’t be insolent, or I’ll scream.”

“I just want to talk, ex-wife.” Chris said without any guilt.

“We’ve been talking. Don’t take much drama because I must go home soon.” Amanda restrained from looking scared because Chris liked it when he saw Amanda getting weak.

She’s trying to stay on her feet with the rest of her energy, feeling her back tense. When Amanda turns around a bit, she can see the anger in his eyes even though Chris’s face doesn’t harden.

“You’re fearless now,” Chris grunted furiously. It turns out that my guess was correct. The one behind my family’s destruction was you, Amanda?”

“N-no, I never did anything.” Amanda was still trying to keep her voice from shaking.

“Oh?” Chris’s tone sounded like a taunt, “Bingo! Only one person has the power to do everything-your brother-Steve is the meddlesome one, right?”

“Chris…” Amanda sighed, controlling her emotions and fears at the same time. “Our business is done. Please leave because you won’t be okay if anything happens to me. Turn over a new leaf and live well.”

“I don’t care,” Chris said quietly, but his aura was terrible, “I just hurt her sister a little… But he did reply in cold blood. Knocking my family down to the slums, throwing them in jail, my newly married wife also ran away, and because of his deceitful actions, my father died because we no longer had the cost of his heart treatment.”

As if she didn’t recognize him anymore, the laughter of the man who looked like a mentally ill patient made Amanda even more frustrated. He continued, “Open a new leaf and live well. Are you kidding me, ex-wife?”

“I’m sorry for your father, but I really didn’t know that Brother was here…”

“And what else do you think I should be afraid of right now!?” Chris cut in to disparage, and his voice snapped loudly.

After speaking in a threatening tone, Chris immediately pulled Amanda’s body to be dragged towards a narrow alley, tried to scream and continued to struggle with the rest of her energy to protect her pride. “Let go… Let go of me, damn it!”

At that time, Amanda felt sweat from her face drained when Chris rudely threw her body against the wall. Amanda’s shaking. She’s so scared of the hell that keeps spinning around her head. It was so suffocating, as if all the air in her lungs evaporated, seeing the man who had once been love and his nightmares suddenly returned.

“L-let me go.” Amanda stammered.

Chris looked hard at Amanda and growled. “You want me to let you go after you’ve caused so much trouble in my life, HAH!?” I wouldn’t even mind a life in prison after taking my ex-wife’s life.”

Amanda desperately seeks words to save her life, but nothing comes to her mind because everything becomes empty. In this condition, she felt useless and could only keep blaming himself. She was stupid. How hard she tried, but the hell was always coming to her.

I’m too stupid to judge someone. How could I be stuck a second time? What if he did what he said, killed me,

Somebody, please, somebody, help me…

Surrounded by fear and familiar mocking, she looks like part of her past is back. Her beating heart accelerates to pump Amanda’s sanity, which can only surrender to her fate. Her fingernails are whitened as her grip on the asphalt tightens.

Amanda was tired of this. She cried with her shaky shoulders and immovable legs, showing that she was in her weakest condition.

Amanda didn’t expect herself to be the target of a series of terror committed by her ex-husband. She wants to ask if she needs to bow down and beg Chris not to hurt her. But, even one word can’t come from Amanda’s trembling lips.

The smiling man began to lift the sharp blade in his hand with a bloodthirsty look, like a possessed person. Amanda surrendered. Now, she can only pray for the happiness of the people she loves if this is her last second.

Then, when the tip of the object approached to pounce on her neck, a bullet instead redeemed her ex-husband’s back until it was exposed to a great deal of blood.
