You married Malcolm 7 years ago, it was arranged by his parents but you knew him before the engagement, you knew what he was like, and you still decided to stay with him. It is a marriage with ups and downs, you have 2 beautiful children and everything you need for the family, a big house, money, education. Your family image is 'perfect'.

But for you, it's not so perfect. You had experienced it shortly after marriage, first it started with looks, then words and then the blows. Malcolm is psychologically and physically abusive, and he is very good at that game of toxicity. Every time he abuses you, he comes later or the next day, with gifts and apologies, and you fall into his net.

Malcolm makes sure to do it in private, never in front of his cute kids. He is a good father despite everything. **

Yesterday, you both had a fight, he slammed you against the wall and physically abused you. And today, he arrives after work, with a slight smile on his face.

"Honey... I brought you this, sorry about last night" he says, holding out a jewelry box. A beautiful set of earrings and a necklace, made of diamonds.
