Kindly drop a few red stones.

"But has there been, at any point in your marriage, a situation where you have felt the need to walk away?" The woman asked with a gentle expression, trying her best not to scare the woman in front of her.

'Oh won't believe how many times that would be," Alexis smiled in amusement, 'There hasn't been a day since the day I met this man.'

Nevertheless, she composed herself and answered, "I believe that there are certain turning points in a marriage where everyone wants to walk away and if they chose every time to walk away then what would become of this relationship."

A flash of recognition pass in the woman's eyes and she knew what Alexis was doing. She was deflecting and defending. She understood what that meant, Alexis was not sure herself about what she wanted it to choose here. so she simply nodded and returned there was nothing that she could do if the victim has self-decided not to complain except for a persuading her to do so.

"Alright," she tugged inside her jacket and handed Alexis a card. "this is a secured number. It cannot be traced and it does not show any record in your mobile history." She then firmed voiced out. "if there is ever a point where we know that you should walk out please do not hesitate before giving a call."

Alexis nodded and understood the gravity of the situation that she was in. "Yes, I will give you a call immediately." She promised.

The women nodded and then turned around and left with the officials. She stopped once more at the doorway only to nod at Alexis before going out finally. Alexis released A breath that you did not realise she had been holding. It had been a very overwhelming experience and she held the card in her hand with the utmost care. Taking her phone her from the stand next to the bed, she opened the cover and placed the card inside and then covered the phone once again.

there was no harm in being safe and secure for the future.

The door opened and she looked up. Her husband entered and he didn't look happy.

Well, he didn't need too, it wasn't as if she was at her happiest.

"So how was your talk?" He every casually enquired about the conversation that had taken place in his absence.

"Not well. Nothing of use to me to be honest." She shrugged simply.

"Uh-huh," he tsked. "Really? Because I find that hard to believe."

She sighed harshly and looked over to him. "There was nothing but the talk of how am I ever felt victimised in this relationship I could walk out." She waved her hands wildly in frustration. "That's it!"

He leaned forward and placed his crossed arms on the bed where her legs were. "Alright."

She nodded for nothing and turned around to look nowhere in particular.

"Are you feeling any kind of pain?" He asked once again. "Oh, any discomfort?"

She slowly shook her head and continued to bask in the uncomfortable silence. she would have awkward silence around her for her eternity if it meant not talking to him.

"Alexis," he sighed. "You need to talk to me. we are going home and since we live together you are going to see my face every day."

"That is not mean that we have to talk every time We looked at each other's faces." She countered.

"What is this about?" He finally gave in to what he felt. "If this is about cutting her tongue in revenge for the disrespect then I am not apologizing nor making up for it." He stood firm in what he believed and he made sure to make it aware to her too.

She clicked her tongue acting negatively to the situation. "It's not that. I just want a few moments of peace and that is it." She muttered tiredly. "Just me and me alone."

He nodded but she didn't look at me. Still aware of his presence she turned around and closed her eyes.

"Your discharge is in a few hours. Rest until then." she did not bother to open her eyes and acknowledge this statement but heard the scrapping of the chair against the floor and the closing shot of the door. She simply doesn't have body around and took a nap.

*********

She had changed into a cosy sweater and jeans. Nevermind the people she was not in any mood to dress up.

Angelo held out his hand and she took it Glady. He held it in his other and wrapped his arm around her waist providing support to her as much as he could.

She leaned onto him and walked out to the lift. "What time is it?" She asked, leaning into him a bit more.

"After nine."

"What?" She looked up. "Discharge was in the evening."

"Yes, but you took a long ass nap and I didn't wake you up." He kissed her forehead and she sighed. Kissass.

They walked out and she noticed how dark it had become. She could not even stand properly without having her eyes close up on there own. She was barely awake you do the medicines given to her.

Sitting inside the car, she placed her head on his shoulder and fell asleep once again.

Angelo smiled and placed his hand on her thigh.

********

On reaching the destination, he gently woke her up.

"What?" She mumbled with barely opened eyes that hated him. "Pick me up." And went back to sleep.

"No," he pulled her out gently. "You need to see this."

"See what?" She groaned opening her eyes and looking around. She frowned as she saw people standing there in the middle surrounded by men in black which she was sure were Angelo's men.

Her breathing immediately quickened as she couldn't figure out what's as happening. She tinted to him to stood behind her and asked in a panic expression. "What's happening?" She pointed to the three faces that she had seen. "What!"

"Nothing." He smiled. "A little lesson before your little vacation." He turned her around.. "Perhaps, I should say, a little reminder."
