Dear diary....

Chapter 1

Anabella's POV

Unedited)

We arrived home from our honeymoon earlier than planned. Brian had some things to attend to at the office and which  according to him cannot be left unattended to because of a mistake like me.
The ride home was a silent one. The last time he actually talked to me was on our wedding night when he told me those hurtful words.
Our honeymoon was the worst ever. My husband and I stayed like a complete stranger. Brian leaves the hotel we stayed in very early in the morning throughout the week and returns late at night and I dare not question him. Well I did try to but I ended up getting beaten up by him. I cried almost every day that I'm even tired of crying.

The car pulled off at our driveway  and it was then I noticed we were home. I have to put on a facade. I wouldn't want anyone to know Brian and I are having problems at this early stage of our marriage. Not even my parents.

I got out of the car and made my way over to the front door leaving Pius  to bring in our luggage.  I was engulfed in a big hug by Mrs Lucy, Brian's nanny since childhood. I was so happy to see her too. She's such a great woman.

"Welcome home dear"  she smiled warmly at me.

"Thank you. I missed you" I said hugging her back. I felt at home with her near me.

"Come on go and shower. I prepared something nice for you two." I suddenly shuddered at the thought of me eating together with Brian but smiled nonetheless and went up the stairs leading to our room.

Brain was not in the room when I entered and I quickly got into the  shower before he comes back. I had my shower and the cold water helped me calm down a bit. I got out minutes later and quickly dressed up seeing Brian is still not in the room.

I joined Lucy downstairs and helped her set the table. Brian came in minutes later when I was done setting the table.

"Babe food is ready" I was nervous as hell as I don't know what his reaction would be. He looked stunned that I was actually talking to him. And to think I called him babe. But when he saw Mrs Lucy he knew better to play along.  

"Okay." He said silently giving me a fake smile and sent a real  to Mrs Lucy and returned to his cold self once she left.

I packed the plates once we finished our so silent meal. Brian left almost immediately and I couldn't help but thank God. His presence alone makes me afraid.
I washed the dishes and returned upstairs to our room taking slow and calculating steps.
Brian was on the couch  typing away on his laptop when I entered so I just went straight towards our bed as I was exhausted from our journey plus it was so awkward as I didn't know what to do.

"Great act you put on there" I heard Brian say. I thought he was on the phone until I heard him call my name with a voice full of venom.
"That's the only thing you're good at anyway. Pretending " I looked up at him as fat tears  rolled down my cheeks. I couldn't help stop those words from rolling of my tongue

"Brian what turned you to this monster that you are now?"

Believe me people when I say that day was the day I regret having a mouth.

And that's chapter one.
