her truth

a kind gesture turned to abuse

Has days went, things were very calm, Sandra didn't know why but it kept her on edge, it was just like how she had to be when Diego still lived with her, talking to her sisters, they said she just had to go past her trauma, think about her girls and move on, Sandra tried her best at that, took care of her children, her family, especially her father who had he's bad days where she alone had to take care of him and take him to the hospital here and there, to be working when she could and hard.
Has the summer came about, Emily was out of school, but she would have to place both her girls to day care has she couldn't always leave them with her father and she did have to work, things with the divorce had to keep being dragged on given his lawyers personal life and the fact she didn't have a lawyer to where her and her father would be calling and trying for every pro bono they could to get nothing back, every one needed money and she just couldn't afford it, her sister's thought she just could go to the court and get this done, however with lawyers involved yeah that was not going to happen.
Has one weekend where Diego has the girls came to past, which was very hot, Sandra gave a older man she was trying to have a connection with another chance at dating however he wasn't messaging her back, so Saturday she was to the air mattress she had when her mother slept over to be to the living room, to be very hot to then get up after she thought of her kids to then message him.
Sandra: okay so I'm done, you wanted to try again, I gave you another chance, you wanted to meet my girls, and you wanted me to meet your son, I am so over this crap, I can't keep doing this to my children I am so over you and over this, don't message me forget it.
Sandra then sent that message to then block this man to lay back down to look over the ceiling.
Think I need to be like my dad, just end up single and celibate after my divorce, no other man is going to be good enough for my girls, I can be both.
Sandra then turned to her side to wrap her arms about herself to weep. She did want to give this man a chance, she did want to meet his son, she did want to have a family, however maybe that was just not in the cards for her.
Sandra couldn't help but to get up to clean her house to keep her mind off of things to then have tomorrow come, the next day Diego dropped off the girls for the house to be really hot, Sandra gave the girls technology time has she didn't want them to over heat themselves, she then went about to make food to then look to her phone to see Diego messenging her.
Diego: are the girls comfortable? Know it's hot, I can come back with fans.
Sandra looked over the message to make a face to remember what her older sisters kept saying to her.
Give him a chance, he is there father, make friends with him, be nice.
Sandra Took in a deep breathe to text back.
Sandra: we do have a fan, it is hot though, I don't want to trouble you though.
Diego: no trouble at all, I'll come back to give them to you.
Sandra looked over the message to then shrug for them to continue to text the other, a bit later Diego came back for her father to have came out to get the fans, with a face, he didn't trust Diego either, not after all the things he had said about him.
Diego watched him go to then go to Sandra.
"Well, thank you for these, it'll help the girls and my dad, you know he has health problems."
"Yeah that's why I wanted to do this, um, could we talk in the car for a bit?"
Sandra looked over Diego..
"Let's talk out here "
Diego laughed to then turn to go to the car.
"There's an air conditioner inside, come on."
Sandra Took in a deep breathe to then go inside to try to record Diego with her phone, other then her sister's in her ear, Sandra remembered what her to lawyer said, record his bad behavior for the courts.
Sandra then went inside to do just that, she placed her phone to the side, to think she was recording.
"So.... What do you want to talk about?"
"Well, Emily said something very interesting this weekend."
Sandras heart started to thump unevenly.
"Oh?"
Diego kept his head forward .
"She said  you two were talking about a guy you were dating and she was going to meet him."
Sandra Took in a deep breathe to turn her head to look out the window.
"I...... Ended that yesterday. Look I've eyed about a bit, nothing more and...."
Diego then moved closer for Sandra to start to breathe heavily.
"I don't care! You are not going to have random men around my girls!"
Sandra gulped with a dry throat.
"I never brought them about the girls, it was also on your weekends, now like I said, I just ended that yesterday. Um.....I need to go inside to check on the girls and...."
Sandras whole body shook for her to tremble, Diego went closer to Sandra to wrap his forearm around her throat to look forward to pull her closer.
"You know, my mom wants me to let you go, I don't give a fuck what she wants, we are going to raise this family together, then I'll buy you a house, her a house and...."
Has Diego held Sandra like that, she started to freak out a bit, she placed her hands to his arm to choke a bit to cough, this was hurting her but he just kept doing it, to then move his other arm to place his hand inside her bra to play with her boob, for her to move it away for him to try to tough her leg to then try to tough her private area, Sandra started to squirm has Diego kept talking.
"Diego.....cough cough.... Please let me go.... Let go!"
Diego rolled his eyes .
"You are my wife Sandra! This has gone on long enough! I am going to come home! And...."
Sandra kept looking around to find out how to escape to then look up to widen her eyes, she could have sworn she saw her daughter Emily looking down.
Sandra started to squirm a bit more.
"Diego..... Your hurting me, please let go!"
"I'm not doing anything!"
Diego and Sandra then looked to the side has her father came out with his hand raised she be annoyed.
Sandra placed her hand to the door to try to open for Diego to pull her closer..
"You are staying here."
Sandra watched has her father started to turn to go back in to then open the door to grab her phone to yell for him.
"Dad!! Dad!!"
He turned for Diego to rolled his eyes to then push her out.
"Whatever!"
Sandra got out to be gulping with a dry throat to watch him leave and quick to go straight to her father who eyed over her.
"Sandra? Sandra what's wrong? What happened?"
Sandra watched Diego go to then wrap her arms about him to then start to cry to tell him everything, she knew eventually Diego would become abusive like that, he was a very controlling man, then badness seemed to follow suite.
