**** Thank you so much for taking the time to read my work! As of 2/25/22 I only have two parts ready to publish (Although un-edited outside of re-reading and adjusting a thousand times.) I have always loved writing and while I have taken pen to paper many times, I have yet to finish anything longer than a short story. I started this with no plan, no direction. It is only after finishing the second part that I was finally able to come up with this description. This started as a process to deal with the loss of my mother and from there a second story came out of it, leading to this. Please be kind and constructive. Trolls will not be fed. ****

They were red and full of tears, it broke my heart seeing him this way. "Or is it not enough? Am I not enough?" his voice was cracking, and a single tear slid down his cheek.

Get out of my house! Now!"He yelled in a tone I'd only heard him use towards those he despised or worked for him. I couldn't believe this was happening. I quickly wiped the tears that were fogging up my vision and walked towards him. I extended my hand to touch his shoulder, but before my hand could even get near him he grabbed my wrist, harshly. "Nate please, let me talk!" I begged, looking into his emerald eyes filled with anger, pain, and hatred. "I said GET OUT!" He screamed jerking me towards the door, his hold on my wrist was tight making me wince. I felt something trickle down my arm reminding me of my gash from earlier. "Nathaniel stop your hurting me." I dug at his hand with my nails using my free hand trying to loosen his hold. He let go of my wrist and opened the door in front of us. -- One random night, Lilians life turns upside down after she's accused of adultery.
