The Bloody Sisters

Chapter 7 Cynthia Background Story

Cynthia POV

My name is Cynthia Tewogbade, I was born in Nigeria on 23rd November, 1987 into the family of Reverend pastor Ayomide Babalola and Deaconess Elizabeth Babalola.

My both parent are pastors and hold a position in their church which make me a God-fearing woman since I was raised in very religious home. I have one elder brother who is also a pastor and One younger brother a surgeon.

My husband David was introduced to me by my parents, he was one of their church member, David was sweet when we just started met and we dating but after few months of dating him I notice he is becoming impatient with me, his always angry on every single thing on till one day he beat me blue black.

I told my parents about it they say it a test for God to know how patient I can be so I have to go back to him so I went back to him,so after he beg and apologize to me he promised me he will not raised his hand at me again which he kept he didn't beat me until till we got married.

I got married to my husband David Tewogbade when I was 25 years old , everything was sweet at the beginning David show me love that people are started getting jealous of me for having a good husband that love and care for me.

But everything changed when one of David's ex girlfriend Alisha died, she die from excessive beating, they say she was beating to death by a thief who robbed her house, but what we don't know is that she died when David loss control when he was beating her so he beat Alisha to death, after Alisha death David change he started insulting me, he get angry all the time and he always have something to complain about in the house.

The day my nightmare started is the day I talk to him and asked why he is acting like there is no more love in our marriage and he replied that one of muse died so he is unhappy because only when he sees his muse that is when he will be happy again.

I was so sad that day when he told me that his ex girlfriend Alisha is his muse, why not me? I am his wife not Alisha, not knowing that I will soon become one of his muse.

The first time David beats me after our wedding that is when I know what kind of muse Alisha is, that day I went to Stella's place and when I reach home I met David wait for me in the living room looking pissed so I went to him to and asked he what is wrong with he the next thing I know he slapped me and started beating me without telling me what I did wrong and when his done beating me he asked me to strip naked and do a beautiful pose that I will be the new muse is looking for.

I give birth to our first daughter at 26, I have our second daughter at 32 and I have third daughter at 35 years old, the only time I am free for David's torment is when I was pregnant,he is away, when someone come to visit us or I am in the hospital recovering from his beating.

Although David provide for me and our children, he is a good father to our kids but people don't know what I facing in my marriage, some woman in my church use my marriage has a prayer point for their female children not knowing they're just coursing their children because they only see him taking care of me on the outside, he take me on many date, sent flowers and gift and other things to show how romantic he is on the outside but inside he a beast.

I husband beat me on every single mistake, he also beat me when he is just have a bad day or when he is in a bad mood, sometimes he just beat me when he need inspiration and after he is satisfied with is work on my body he will ask me to pose despite how bearable the pain am feeling and then drew me.

My-in-laws knows about their son beastly behavior but they did nothing, Mother in law is also a devil who did not give a fuck about her children expect my husband but her care turn David to what he is today, she never sees any wrong in what my husband did to women or me, she will even help him covered it up, she put all her love and attention on David while she didn't even bother to how her other children live, so with that kind of love she has for David she won't help me escape from her golden son.

Well I don't really blame My in laws when my own family also did nothing help me so why should My-in-laws care, any time told my own family about my problem they will ask me to pray, fast and read some verses in the bible that God will help me change my husband heart if I am faithful enough God will hear my prayers and a good Christian stay with her husband no matter what she is going through in the marriage because a woman house is her husband's house but deep down I know that they just don't want me to ruin their reputation.

Stella my best friend is the only person who try to help me in little way she can, anytime my husband beat me I will call her to take me to the hospital and she always answer my calls any time I need help, deep down I know she want me to divorce my husband but she won't say it because Stella is someone who only advise people that will yield to her advice and she knows will not listen so she didn't say nothing.

I remember when my still dating my husband Stella use to say that David is hiding something, saying that he is so nice someone can not be that nice, when he beat me when we are still dating Stella asked me to leave him that when a man beat a woman they never stopped, if I had know I will listen to her then I won't be in this nightmare that I called marriage. she never liked my husband and likewise my husband hate Stella,

David called her untrained woman, he said that she need a real man to train her on how to behave like a woman but I doubt if a man can treat Stella like that, if she can't win the man in a fight the next thing she will do is hired some street boys to beat the man to make sure both her and the man are in pain.
