Chapter 16

• I waited for Emilio. Sincerely I waited for him but he did not return. At some point I went to the door and started banging at the door calling for the maids. Martha answered from the other side but apparently Emilio had left with the key to the room. I was stuck here and only the heavens could tell what my fate would be when my mad husband decides to return. I should have done the divorce quietly but no, I wanted to extract at least a little bit of vengeance to satiate my anger but here I was in his bedroom, bare butted and locked in. I looked around and went to the closet as I started checking out what I would be wearing. Found one of his shorts that would fit and put it on as I started planning ahead of time. He might attempt to put me down when he returns or something which meant that I needed to defend myself at least. I scanned the room for something I could use as a weapon but nothing seemed to be working except the lamp standing by the bed. I went closer there and sat. The pillow against this headrest and I fell asleep eventually as I realized I was famished.
• I have no idea how long I had been sleeping but then I heard the door rattling and then opened my eyes. Intuitively my survival instincts kicked in as I went and reached for the lamp stand, holding it ready to throw or smash. Whichever comes first. I counted my heartbeat until he opened the door and entered. It was late already but the lights in the room would not let me know around what time or hour it was. Emilio kicked the door behind him and then looked at me in my defensive position and scoffed. He had something in his hand as he started getting closer to the bed.
• "Stay back!!!" I yelled as I drew back even though I had something I could have used as a weapon.
