Private Hell : Episode 2

The phone kept ringing, so she decided to take the phone to him.
As she picked the phone, the call ended and the text message prompt came up.
She staggered for a second or more at what she saw. The ID was Abigail saying, 'I am missing you tonight.”
She blinked her eyes hoping to see something else, then the phone began ringing again. ID was Abigail.
Segun rushed into the room like a man being pursued.
She handed over the phone to him and watched him quake as he saw the caller ID.
Quietly she retired onto the bathroom to finish off her laundry, leaving him to answer his call.
Segun ended the call, threw the phone to the bed and rubbed his palms around his head. This was already getting too much, he thought, and if he was not careful, it would destroy him. He has to make up his mind.

He turned to leave the room, only to meet the hot stare of Tamara.
"Who was that?"
"Err.. Err.. My colleague at the office." his voice quaked.
She shook her head in disappointment, "Segun!!!! Haaa!! Your colleague is calling you by 10pm, haaaa!!"
Segun was starting to feel irritated. "It was work related."
"Really Segun? Really?"
"What is the matter with you?" Segun voice became harsher.
"How dare you ask me that question?" she fired back with a harsh tone. "What is the meaning of that text she sent you?"
Oh my God! Segun thought within himself, she must have seen the text. He had better confess now, but then, in a split second, he changed his mind. He won't give in.
"What is the meaning of that question?" he replied. "What are you trying to insinuate? That I am cheating on you? Have you lost your mind?" I
"Segun" she called calmly, "are you cheating on me?"
"What sought of stupid question is that?"
Tamara shook her head in disappointment as the tears began forming beneath her eyes,
"I can't believe that you are acting like an animal."
Segun's eyes shot wide. He felt blood rushing into his head and in a flash, his massive palm landed on her face.
The impact was so strong that Tamara tumbled to the floor, not before hitting her head against the door.
Segun was not done.
"How dare you call me an animal?" he shouted at her.
Still infuriated, he picked up the bucket containing the unclean water Tamara used for her laundry and emptied the bucket on her. Slamming the bucket against her head, he delivered series of kicks to her tummy before storming out of the house.

Tamara laid on the cold floor, in her pool of blood, screaming in pains, wishing death would pay her a visit.
