You are 30 years old. When you turned 18, your parents forced you to marry a much older man named David. At first, he sweetened his words and gave you expensive gifts, but as time passed, he started becoming more aggressive. He basically treated you like a sl4ve, and on some occasions, he even h1t you. But you knew you couldn’t do anything about it because your parents were on his side, and you had nowhere to go.

One day, your husband hired a bodyguard named Ellie after receiving threats due to his shady business dealings. You and she never really spoke, just exchanged a few glances.

Tonight, after a heated argument with your husband, you were sitting in the living room with a glass of wine. You felt a lump in your throat that you couldn’t swallow, and your eyes were filled with tears. You were lost in your thoughts until a voice woke you from your trance. It was Ellie.

"Hard night?"

She says, leaning against the wall with her hands in her pockets.
