RED - A billionaire Dark Romance

BRENDA PARKER

I ran to the bedroom and went to the closet. He told me to change my clothes. I don't know why, because the clothes I'm wearing are completely decent. I don't know what he thought was wrong. However, I can't go out with these clothes. I prefer to obey it than suffer the consequences. When I finished changing, I looked at myself in the mirror and thought that would please him. I grab my bag and go to the kitchen.  Greet the cook.

"Good morning, Herminia."
"Good morning Ma'am, I apologize for the slip on the breakfast table. The maid who set the table checked every detail and saw nothing out of place."
"No problem, it's over. I should have woken up early to check it out."

The cook just nodded and went back to her chores. I got a glass of water and drank it, then turned to Herminia and announced that I was leaving.

"I'm going out, I'm going to visit Kerry.
"Good, ma'am, are you going out to lunch?"
"Yes, probably."
"Okay!"
"Have a nice day."

I headed for the exit, the driver and my bodyguard were already waiting for me in the garage. I got into the luxury elevator and went down to the garage. Upon arriving at the destination, I greeted them.

"Good morning Pablo, good morning Conrado.
"Good morning, Mrs. Parker." Both greeted me at the same time. I laughed.

I got into the luxury car and headed to my destination. Kerry is already waiting for me.

Kerry's office wasn't far from the apartment and in half an hour I was already there. I went to the elevator and Conrado was always behind me. He's a tall, burly black man, he draws attention, but I can't complain, Sebastian insists on keeping him behind me anywhere I go. I'm used to it. We were in the elevator and I decided to ask about his family.

"How are the wife and children?"
"All right, my oldest daughter is graduating from High School."
"Oh!  Congratulations, I won't forget to buy her a gift.
"Thank you, Mrs Parker."

I've always had a good relationship with Conrado, but I know he only obeys Sebastian's orders, so I know how far I can get with him. I'm aware that he will never help me with anything if I need it, but I don't blame him either. That's his job, to do my personal security and watch over me.

I arrived at the floor where Kerry's office is, I entered the reception and the secretary, who already knew me, came to talk to me.

"Hello Brenda, Dr. Kerry is waiting for you in her office. You can come in.
"Thanks!"

I walked to the door and knocked.

"Come in."
"Hi!"
"Brenda, I'm glad you're here. How are you?"
"Painful."
"Let's see what your husband's monster did this time."

I didn't say anything. Kerry hates my husband, she can't understand how I can live in that marriage, but only those who live what I live would understand. I lifted my shirt and showed her the place where he'd hit me.

"Geez! Was he trying to kill you? This one is very black-blue.

She squeezed the area and I writhed in pain.

"Apparently there's no broken bone, but I'll ask for an X-ray and prescribe an anti-inflammatory.

"Thank you darling, I don't know what my life would be like without you.
"For myself, Brenda, I would turn your husband over to the police."
"Don't do that, Kerry, you know what he did when I tried to talk to the police.
"But Brenda, you can't live like this, one day he's going to kill you."

I lowered my head, what Kerry said was what I feared the most, he would kill me, it's not unimaginable, it's real. Does he threaten me?  No, Sebastian never threatened to kill me with words, but with actions.  Every time he hit me, I saw the fury in his eyes, but this fury is controlled, he manages to make me feel guilty for being spanked. I don't defend myself, I can't. Sometimes I think I really deserve a spanking. Sometimes,  I don't know why I'm being beaten, but I just keep quiet and pray God that he doesn't kill me.
