"What makes you think you can break free from my grip?"
"I want a divorce Keith"
" You didn't make a choice of getting married and you think you can make one about divorce? Get it straight Lena this is what your life will be forever!"
"I would rather die than stay married to an unrefined, barbaric fool like you, with no formal education"
Yelena's words got to Keith's soul. It hurt him more than anything. He grabbed a vase to hit Yelena but Martha got up and yelled at him
"Can't you just stop this? One day this girl is going to die in your arms and you would wish you were a better man to her"
Keith threw the vase to the ground and it broke into pieces, he stood panting in anger. He moved closer to the bed and Martha tried to stop him but he pushed her aside
"You called me names? Unrefined, Barbaric, Uneducated. Maybe i am really all that but Its because your thief of a father stole from me my only chance of growing up with love and education. And you.......you have the guts to.......
Keith clenched his fist and tried to hit Yelena but Martha got in the way and she landed on the floor with her nose bleeding. Keith felt sorry and hesitated for a while but stormed out of the room. Yelena quickly rushed to Martha to helped her up on to a chair.
" you shouldn't have done that Martha. See now? You are badly hurt"
"Don't worry. Have some rest, I will take care of it." Martha said while wiping the blood with a small towel.
Keith entered his study and shut the door behind him. He had two large portraits hanging on the wall. One was his father and the other was a family picture of his parents, himself and his three other brothers. He touched the picture and tears streamed his face.
