OMNISCIENT POV
FRIDAY. MARCH 1, 2019.
——————————"I'm heading out!" Janet shouts as she made her way down the stairs. "Lock the doors! I'll be back a little later.."
Her husband came out of the master bedroom, looking down the stair case at her. "Where are you going this time? You know we have to be down at the church by 5:15pm to see tear down progress. I told you that, last night," He says, checking his watch as he followed her.
She kept walking, heading towards the front door. "I remember and I will be there. I will be back here later,"
"Where are you going?"
"Out.."
"Out where, Janet? Turn around and look at me while I'm talking to you!" He yells, causing her to stop in her tracks.
She sighed and turned to look at him, removing her shades from the bridge of her nose. "Why does it matter where I'm going? Do I question you when you literally leave without saying a word?"
"No, but I am your husband and you are to answer to me," He says. Janet looked at him with a blank face for an entire minute before she bursted out into a fit of laughter. The man uncomfortably shifted in his stance, folding his arms. "And what the hell was so funny about what I just said?"
"Every last word. Because you're my husband, I have to answer to you? Please. Until you sign those papers, we have nothing to talk about.." She says before she turned around, leaving him standing there.
"Don't you dare walk out that door!" He yells, once again.
The woman touched the doorknob, twisting it as she looked into his angry face. "What's going to happen if I do? I told you I will be back later tonight and that's all you need to know,"
"I need to know where my wife will be, in case anything were to happen.."
"You trying to be a concerned husband all of a sudden is so adorable, but I'm not buying it. You want to know where I am so you can stalk me to make sure I am staying loyal and faithful to you. You care nothing about my wellbeing,"
"I do so," He protests.
The woman hummed, looking down at the floor. "Like I said, I will be back tonight.." She says, opening the front door.
Something took over Dwayne and he went charging behind her as she turned her back, grabbing the woman by the arm. He yanked her back inside of the house and attempted throwing her to the ground, but she gained her balance. "Are you crazy?!"
"I'm very crazy. You think I don't know you're going out to be with another man? I see it all, Janet. Coming back home at all times of the night smelling like him, swollen lips, marks all on your neck. You think I'm fucking stupid?" He gripped her arm again as she fought to get away, but his grip remained tight. "You better stop playing with me before I kill your dumb ass,"
"Dwayne, let me go! You're hurting me!"
"I don't give a damn. You don't think you're hurting
me, giving another man the attention I've been trying to get out of you for past weeks?! You don't think that shit is cutting me?!" He screamed in her face as he squeezed her arm tighter, causing her to groan and become weak. The man smirked, watching the pain surface all over her face."You're mine. I am the one who spent all these years loving and putting up with you! Not him! And you're just going to step out on me, like this?! Where the fuck did your heart go?! Why are you doing me like this baby?" His voice shrunk as tears ran down his face like running water.
