Days went by, months went by and I was growing every day in knowledge and smartness. I had started my classes, started to learn some tech skills too.

I was making money online even without stepping out, the kids were in school and I try to do everything possible to stay away from Johnson’s problem.

Even when Geoffery mentioned divorce to me, I was tempted to take the offer but I have suffered so much in this marriage, it will be a shame for me to leave without anything.

Though my family has benefited a lot from the marriage, it was now my turn to benefit. I don’t mind enduring all the abuses and beatings as long as I get my certificate and become an independent woman.

I wasn’t going to leave the marriage empty-handed.

Johnson got a new car the next week. I detached myself from him totally except when he ask for something or when I needed money.

Yes! I don’t wait for him to give me money at his own time anymore, I bring up things to demand money for him, I opened a secret account I was saving all the money.

Wow, I didn’t believe there was more to Facebook and the internet than just chatting. I have learned so much and my self-confidence was back.

I now dance around the house, dress sexier, and was looking happier. One of the days I was dancing and singing top of my voice, Johnson walk on me unannounced.

“Hey, you back welcome” I had said taking off my earpiece

“Hey..” Johnson said, looking so shocked and confused.

He stood staring at me, while I also stared back at him wondering if he needed something.

“Do you need anything?” I asked

“Mm no-no” he replied and quickly walk off to the room.

I went to the kitchen served him his dinner and went back to the sitting room chatting with all smiles.

He came down after some time, and I could feel his eyes on me, I ignored him and concentrated on my phone.

” Anita I thought pounded yam is the dish for today,” Johnson asked angrily.

“Oh yeah, but I was too tired that’s why I made spaghetti” I replied still sitting in the parlor.

“Are you nuts, how dare you counter my rules in this house” Johnson became so furious, he rushed to the sitting room to hit me?

“If you dare hit me, I am going straight to your father’s house and your workplace with your fingerprint on my face,” I said looking straight into his eyes.

Johnson was so filled with anger, he looked at me and could see I wasn’t scared of him. He dropped his hand and walked straight to the bedroom.

I smiled
