"Your coffee." Ria put Taehyung's coffee on the table, he was looking at his shirt before he looked at her.
"Come here." He said calmly and she slowly walked to him."Do you think it is ironed?" He asked lifting the shirt to her face.
She looked at it fearfully, she forgot to do that yesterday, she would usually keep all his clothes ironed but she forgot to iron a few shirts this week.
"I will just do it." She said trying to hold the shirt when he twisted her arm.
"Why did you not do it before? You forget things about me, why? Didn't I tell you I am supposed to be your first priority?" He jerked her on the bed."You won't understand unless I hurt you for something and then you will never forget it." He said going out and bringing the iron, she looked at his horrified."I work hard to give you a comfortable life and this is how you treat me you ungrateful woman?" He said plugging it and she tried to leave but he pushed her on the bed again holding her wrists."After this I am sure you will never forget things related to me."
"I will never from now, it was a mistake, please let it go, I am sorry." She pleaded.
He had burned her skin many times but yet it hurt harder than before.
He took the iron and put it on her hand and she cried, they could hear a sizzling sound.
"Would you do that again? Will you behave that lost?" He asked glaring at her.
"No, I am sorry." She hiccupped but he pressed it harder making her scream.
"Looking at this scar should remind you enough if you forget things related to me you will be in pain. It's been 2 years since our marriage but I still have to teach you these basic things." He said taking away the iron, her skin was red and bleeding at some places. "You are such a disappointment as a wife." He jerked her up."Now if I don't find my breakfast ready, I will put this iron on your face." He threatened pushing her out of the room.
Ria blew over her burned finger as she cried, her daughter was crying too, she didn't have time to think about her pain, Taehyung hated Ava's cries and would get annoyed and threaten to do worse if she continued to cry.
She picked her daughter up and went to the kitchen, it hurt alot and she couldn't work properly but she did, she prepared him the breakfast he always ate, soup and rice.
"Just wait for a bit long, Ava." Ria told her daughter.
"What is wrong with her? She keeps crying all the time just like you." Taehyung groaned.
"She is hungry." She told him as she went inside the kitchen to feed her daughter.
"Then shut her mouth with some food. I want to have my breakfast in peace." He said sitting on the dining table.
Ava finally got quiet as Ria fed her the cereal, Taehyung looked at Ria, she didn't dress up or tried to look attractive at all. She looked sick and tired all the time.
The food tasted nice but he would always complain, he never appreciated her thinking she might start taking him forgranted. He wanted her to feel desperate for his love, suffer to impress him and starve for care.
"What?" Taehyung asked as Ria stood beside him with Ava.
"Umm, I need to buy some things for Ava." Ria implored and he looked away.
"I am not buying anything for her, she is getting what she needs to stay alive. I am not wasting my money on her, it's useless." He said using his phone.
"But it's necessary." She said fearful and he looked at her.
"What is it?" He asked putting his phone away.
"Umm, her baby care kit just ended, also she won't eat anything beside the baby cereal. She needs some clothes too." She started off.
"Use the same products you use yourself, I am not buying anything special anymore, those things are expensive and stop pampering her by making her eat what she wants, have her eat what we eat and about the clothes, I will see." He said ignorant.
"But-" She stopped when he passed her a threatening look.
"I think I was clear, I earn and I can decide what I spent it on. I never wanted her anyway, then why should I spend unnecessary money on her? Is she a princess of somewhere?" Taehyung taunted and stood up towering her and she looked away."And I dare you to ask money from your friend like last time and you will dig a grave for her." Ria looked at him in horror.
How was he always able to say such painful things about his daughter so easily? As if he completely didn't give a fuck.
"Taehyung, she is your daughter." Those words spilled out of her mouth.
"So I should be deciding how I want to nurture her, you got me?" He asked tucking her hair."You should focus on your appearance and try to please me if you want me to fulfill your wish of something. If you maintain yourself like a slave, then I am going to treat you like one. So stop acting like her mom to me and be a wife I want." He said leaning towards her."So tonight if I don't find you in your best appearance, I am going to mark you red." He threatened and she bit her lips looking down and nodded."She should be sleeping deeply once I come back home, because I won't let you get to her even if she is dying." He said touching her arms."You will do that right?" He asked and she nodded.
She didn't care about her appearance anymore, it was her least concern now. If she didn't feel happy, how could she try to make others happy? Yet she was always trying to please him.
He kissed her and Ava hit his chest, he pulled away annoyed and tried to grab her and throw her away when Ria hugged her tighter.
"I am sorry, she doesn't get it. I will do what you said. Let this pass." She said abruptly hiding her daughter.
"If she gets on my nerves one more time, I am going to drown her in the bathtub. Remember my words." Taehyung said glaring at both of them before he walked out locking the house.
