Gloria
Richard smiled full of satisfaction on top of my body that felt crumpled. I really can't keep myself from his savage attacks. He really controls me like a probationary puppet. I have no heart and no mercy.
Do not ask what I feel, let alone enjoy what he does, I actually feel that I have been in p e r k o s by my own husband.
I cried without a sound. My tears are like a swollen river dam, just coming out without my being able to hold it.
"Breng sek!"
"Baji ngan!"
I cursed him continuously but Richard did not seem to hear my curse. I shut myself down, feeling broken and worthless. This time I felt dirty. Not worth it to anyone anymore. But that doesn't mean I'm willing to continue as a testing tool for Richard. To my death I cannot forget the cruelty that forced me.
"Alright, Gloria! You're acting like a girl! You've already surrendered to a man other than your husband!" the sarcasm. He said while picking up his clothes that were scattered on the floor.
"At least Owen never forced me" I said.
I also tried to sit leaning on Ranj ang's head, but I could not stop my tears that never stopped due to the events tonight. For whatever reason, I wanted to scratch Richard's face or teach him more, but unfortunately I realized that I was a weak woman and had no power to resist Richard's power far above me.
Richard grumbled at my answer. "That means you volunteered to give your body to her, right?"
I threw away my gaze, unwilling to look at Richard who was grinning at me.
"If you don't fight me and don't tell me about your love for that man, I won't force you like this either."
I was silent as I applied the blanket I used to cover my innocent body. Richard's words really showed that he didn't feel guilty for me at all.
"I hate you so much" I said sharply. Richard chuckled softly.
After she finished putting all her clothes back on, she approached me who was angled at the end of the rang. His hand was stretched out, about to touch the tip of my head, but I immediately avoided getting the treatment.
"All you need to remember is that I'm your husband. Not him!" he told me with a slanted smile.
I have no interest in answering any of his words anymore, for I am currently lamenting my own fate.
"I don't blame you for giving her your body, I knew right from the start I was wrong to hand you over to her. But, I don't like it when you say you love him. You understand that!" Richard said slowly, but with great emphasis.
I just stared blankly at the walls of the room. All I know right now is that I hate Richard so much and I want to get away from him.
Suddenly, fragments of memories of Richard flashed through the head. Like a replayed film recording in my memory.
I used to spend a lot of time thinking about it. Accept each other for the sake of anchoring love. His call to marry, made me feel up in the wind. It catapulted me like I was in the most beautiful dream come true.
In fact, her seriousness was proven by traveling all the way to my hometown to pick me up to be hers. Realize all desires, until it ends in marriage.
I loved Richard with everything I knew about him, and I felt he loved me with all the evidence of his love.
I always expected her, even on silent nights after we were officially married and she never made me a real wife.
I don't know when I first got drunk and spent a lot of time at the Club' to forget Richard's indifference to me. Richard doesn't care, he doesn't come home often and even thinks I don't exist.

"Mrs!"
Gabby's screeching sound entering the room made me blink.
"Mrs..it's okay?" ask her with a pias face. I immediately realized why Gabby's face looked like that, apparently my current condition is very concerning.
My body was covered in a blanket with my body lying on the floor. I stared at the messy room of my anger last night just as Richard was from this room.
"Gabby.." I thought, my voice was hoarse and almost gone.
"Miss, let me help you stand up..." Gabby's hands were stretched out with her body slightly bent. I grabbed it limply with no energy left.
"Does the Madam want a shower? Let me help you, madam!" said Gabby while starting to provide all my needs for use after bathing.
I'm sure Gabby looked at me like she wanted to know what had happened to me. However, he seemed to understand his limits in this house.
Gabby helped me take a bath, prepare hot water in the bathtub along with aromatherapy.
"If there's anything the madam needs again, let me know immediately. Breakfast will be delivered fifteen minutes later" he said with a smile that seemed forced.
I caught the face of Gabby who was concerned about my current condition.
"Gabby, you promised you'd help me get out of this mansion, right? Help me. please, don't break your promise."
Gabby closed her eyes for a moment. "I-iya, Mistress. I'll help you, I can't bear to see you like this" he whispered.
Well, it seems Gabby doesn't need to hear a story about what happened to me. He was smart and he could deduce by himself, yes, it seemed so.
"Thank you, Gabby. I know you're a good woman."

Late in the afternoon, Gabby and I were walking in tiptoes in the kitchen on an escape mission.
"Madam, I can only help madam once, if this plan doesn't work, I'm really sorry I can't help next time" Gabby whispered.
I nodded in understanding, I know, with Gabby helping me it means that she has mortgaged her work at this Mansion. I hope it works and no one knows if Gabby helped me escape.
Gabby gave me a change of clothes. I put on the butler's clothes so that no one would suspect me, either from the CCTV footage or the other servants who might see me.
I think it's gonna work, but somehow my heart keeps pounding.
As I was about to reach the exit, my body felt very light. My vision turned gray and suddenly everything was dark.
