secrets part I

Dillon Biltmore ,Biltmore money came out smelling like he was into his whiskey very early, and left out very late. but this was his normal smell each day. whiskey and hateful. Today I wanted him to notice me and differently than the same everyday lifestyle we grew accustomed to I didn't work he wouldn't allow it and we had no children so I was all alone but it didn't start out this way I married fresh out of college I met him at a business meeting we both had attended but at the time I didn't know he owned the company it wasn't until I got hired in the reservation department I had moved up the ladder by myself and next was executive and status of dealing one-on-one which I made it a home run s t a r l e t t a ,Queen Banks. In his arms and pretty soon after his heart. we were married 8 months later. my mom and dad was in England .where I was born and raised .my other love my, sister c h a r l a i n a ,a d a e s l o a n b a n k s. She stayed and took care of them .I never mentioned either one of them ,I guess I was more ashamed that we were dirt poor .and this amazing man I had met ,loved and took very good care of me. I sent money home. until he almost caught me talking to c h a r l a i n a, about mom and dad wanting me to come home. that was the last time I spoke to her. I really miss them ,that was more than 9 years ago. Where does the time go"? My problem started exactly 3 years after we were married. I never missed a day I was promoted before we got married so it was supposed to be a true love story. Dillon complains everyday, he even accused me of having an affair with the delivery men's until I can no longer take the beatings and the accusations. He yelled quit or else so I did I thought I deserve this because of bad karma". I tried looking for work somewhere else, but as soon as they hired me. he made one phone call and they will let me go. I grew tired of this system. So I stayed home more and more until I became a tired "beat up old housewife" .which is now still tired "and beat up the older tired days. Now these are the days that was number before I knew what day we were on the last. Dillon placed his Tie on the bedroom table. and sat down for a moment, before he got right back up. He then took a shower. I thought I was safe and secure ,because he was tired. But as usual he would come and sit on the couch. and I knew what came next he wanted dinner. But he also wanted his whiskey more of it. I went into the kitchen i was about to start dinner .when he called me he was already smelling like a whiskey factory. he sat down on the floral chair, we had just gotten last week. I already hated it. He then opened a beer. and I knew what he wanted the whiskey cabinet open. I dreaded this part everyday. because he was so short patient ,and his temper was horrible. I wanted none of this". I grabbed the key from him. shaking because no matter what I did ,the whiskey cabinet was my fate. Dillon ask me where was his whiskey? the whiskey I said in the whiskey cabinet. he said well can you please get it for me? as if he was kind. I said yes, oh I forgot Dillion hands me the other keys. I brought the whiskey to him. he then says to me, what do you want me to do pour it myself? so I shakenly pour the whiskey in his glass. he hands me the keys again. and I say what's this for? and then I said oh okay ,and then proceeded to walk to the whiskey cabinet again I  open it and pull the long tongues out walks back to him .and he says stick your tongue out. and I do" with tears in my eyes pleading with him " not to, he snapped the tongue on my tongue very hard. and he yells at me never" forget" again I cried loudly" he drops the tongue. I go to pick it up and he just loses it .he kicks me" and he starts to just hit me "like I was a child". I screamed at him "what was that for? and he loses it again. I wake up in the fetus position". on my kitchen floor" an hour later. Bruised and beaten and tired he had me in the kitchen. cooking all the while he kept repeating, as I cook dinner. see what you made me do "see what you made me do" I kept quiet as tears fell to the floor. I prepared 12 large prawns". that I baked and stuff with lump crab.and made a bed of rice pilaf. asparagus butter tips with lemon wedges. Two side salad. two cheddar baked potatoes. with red wine, vinaigrette" with sweet spices" Dillon sat at the dinette table "checking every inch of the dinner, to see if anything was cold .everything was piping hot including myself. At the dinner table there was no words spoken .he was drunk beyond words so I finished cleaning up the kitchen and I waited as he dozes off to sleep. I tip toed to the bedroom to check and see if he was asleep. he was fast asleep. he had a cigarette in his hands . I took it ,and lit the bed on fire. I then looked at it blazing into a gulf of flames .I walked out the room sat on the hated couch. as the room blazed finally the fire trucks arrived. they checked me over ma'am is what they said are you okay? One of the fire men asked me again are you okay? I shook my head yes there was a cat standing by my feet. I bent down picked it up, and I held it tightly . ma'am is that your cat yes  Starletta shook her head again. she mumbled his name is Mr pockets. do you have any family ?no she said just my husband" I'm sorry ma'am" there's no way anyone else survived. Starletta stares aimlessly at the flames it was another hour before the, fireman got the fire under control .the total house had not burnt down. ma'am we have to do a police report, yes I understand Starletta said .ma'am how did you bruise your face.? I felled trying to get out. Okay they said. after a while Starletta
left the police station she checked herself into the nearest motel the next morning detective Dalton Pfizer he calls bright and early and said my husband was burn beyond recognition he has sounded just like the fireman had no other survivors and that they would finish the investigation and they would get in touch with me 3 months later I can't believe 3 months have passed. Starletta moved into another house smaller Starletta was doing fairly well. All she had now was his social security .she was receiving other medical papers work . They even gave her the dental reports they said it was his that he had died and they closed the case and said accidental death. After viewing the insurance papers she noticed that they all said she was rich plus she had tons and tons of legal paperwork they had own 38 million in houses and lands he had an offshore account to be settled or she could sell it. one condo two studio apartments three limos three hotels two restaurants what was she going to do with all of these things she thought to herself she has stopped calling her sister she didn't know how to call them. the officer said he would give her the paperwork to the business as well that that Dillion had owned as well because now she was the new owner starletta queen Banks Biltmore. had inherited a fortune from her hateful husband. After settling the account. she moved once again into another home a week later into a bigger home .she was taking a walk one of her husband's friends came through and he saw her and they began speaking briefly .he was Kent Davenport .he was Dillon best friend .he said it was a shame how Dillon died. Yeah that's terrible s t a r l e t t a said" well how are you holding up he asked? better she smiled slightly. well that's good at least someone survived "Kent said I miss him terribly. Such a tragic" accident yeah it was s t a r l e t t a said . they were silence for a moment .I better get going Kent Davenport said. After Kent left s t a r l e t t a enter her new home .she notices the bed was unmade .she paused briefly "I thought I  made my bed this morning maybe I didn't ,she said again. I know I left in a hurry. to run some errands. she went back outside to check her mail. she returned with a handful .she placed them on a dresser. in the bedroom .she thought about what the lawyer said. he told her about the upcoming business meeting .she was feeling tired from the walk so she lied down .before long she could feel, herself drifting to sleep .she could hear d i l l i o n. as if he was standing right next to her bed .he said you will never get away" with this he said it again .s t a r l e t t a jumped up she was alone no one was there the bedroom door was wide open .but she remembered she closed it. she got up washed her face, and went through her mail .she had to return to the old house spot. to sell or keep it or tear it down .she didn't think long on it she didn't want it anymore. the next day she viewed the burnt home. she had not seen it in 5 months". inside she walked slow in the corner. she noticed that something was, sticking out so she hit it ,and it opened up a secret passageway .A trapped door she followed it she gasped" oh my, she said where does it lead. she went inside she took her flashlight out it lead to the bedroom but she couldn't walk into it a few more steps .she was outside on the streets at the front entrance .Starletta whispered ,I can't believe this, she then called the police after seeing the hidden room .he ruled out death. they said it was most definitely, that no one died in the house ,at all .where was my husband she asked? the police  said I don't know but we will call you Starletta took the cab ,back to her new home.
