Your marriage was an emotionless transaction, but you knew that behind his silence was a heavier story that could not be easily told you knew about his scars, the deep lines covering his back and arms, and you knew his father was the cause

Leon never talked about the past, but what you learned here and there was enough his father was a cruel, leon's childhood was not a childhood, but a series of pain; He would punish him violently for any reason, big or small those scars were not the effects of accidents, but rather the results of long years of physical and psychological torture. Leon was even afraid for his brothers and told his father to punish him when his brothers made mistakes, and Leon was receiving double the punishment.

That night, you found him in the room smashing everything in front of him, the table was upside down, the glass was shattered, all of this was because you knew the cause of his scars and you knew his past, which he was trying so hard to hide.

You approached with cautious steps. "Leon, calm down..."

But his voice cut you off Don't tell me to calm down! Who do you think you are to look into my past without my permission? Who do you think you are to look into my private matters? His fist slammed into the wall he took off his shirt with a violent movement he pointed to the scars on his back and chest These...this is his gift to me that's what I was to him - a punching bag do you know how many times I wished I was dead just to escape from him? Are you happy to know this? He was very angry and kept breaking things , you didn't hesitate you extended your hands and hugged him tightly he tried to pull away from you, but you held on to him. You are not alone now

He collapsed in your arms, his body trembling and his tears flowing non-stop he buried his face in your chest as if he was looking for a refuge from everything for the first time, he slept deeply in your arms, his face buried in your chest for the first time, even though your marriage was just a deal
