Book Cover & Preview Text
Hitting the wall head first she made a dent in the sheet-rock and broke the frame of their wedding photo sending blood everywhere; making her stumble back a step disoriented, her arms flailing with a scream before she tumbled down the last flight of stairs and lay at the bottom of them motionless. Groaning in pain, she slowly opened her eyes while listening to his heavy footsteps, before feeling his knuckles stroking her bloody cheek when he asked, “Did that hurt? Oh, I’m sorry, Mandi, baby.”
Whimpering softly, she shied away from his touch, and yelped in pain at the movement, with a groan while she held her abdomen; softly crying with her tears mixing with the blood that ran down her face, she slowly met his blood shot gaze and sniveled. He tsk’d with a shake of his head before he took a drink from his new bottle, “Did you hurt yourself again, Mandi?”
Mandi sniffled and croaked through her tears, “Baby.” Todd shook his head and chuckled menacingly, “You really should be more careful, hun” laughing he took another drink, “Go clean yourself up, I want this mess picked up when I get home” he stepped over her quivering body and just left her there in a pool of her own blood.
