Chapter 1 Finishing Line

LINDA POV

I hurried out of bed as my eyes landed on the wall clock. It was almost seven AM.

"Fuck!" I cussed at myself silently for not waking up at the sound of my alarm. I had an interview by ten AM and my friend, Ammy, had advised me to get there latest by nine.

"Babe. Why didn't you wake me?!" I called out to my boyfriend. I had asked him to wake me up early because I knew I might not hear my alarm. You can say I like to sleep.

I rushed into the bathroom and was out almost immediately, doing my makeup and brushing my lush black hair simultaneously.

I heaved a sigh of relief when I finally finished dressing up a few minutes past seven. I picked up my phone and ordered Uber before hurrying out of the room and into the seating room. Henry, my nightmare of a boyfriend, was seated on the couch.

"Hey babe." He said gently.

I smiled at him, dropped my bag on the table and rushed into the kitchen to get a cup of tea.

"I asked you to wake me up. I can't afford to be late today, you know?" I said, trying to sound a little annoyed.

"I don't care if you're late. I already told you to stop looking for jobs." He replied nonchalantly.

I knew what he was afraid of. He never liked the idea of me being around other guys and probably thought my new boss would hit on me. I mean, who wouldn't? I was blindly beautiful.

"Don't worry, I'm yours alone. I need this job to pay off my grandmother's loan and you know it." I said to reassure him.

I quickly finished the tea and was about to leave when he held my hand.

"You look too sexy to just leave that way." He said in that sinister way he speaks when he wants me.

I laughed and muttered "Thank you for the compliment" but instead of letting me go, he pulled me to himself and started kissing me.

I protested weakly but his grip around my waist tightened as the other hand traveled all over my body.

A moan escaped my lips and that was it. I gave in to the fire he was awakening in me and I was soon bent over a couch, moaning while he fucked me from behind.

It lasted longer than I wanted because Henry always wanted more and I couldn't refuse him. We had sex almost everywhere in the sitting room before he was finally satisfied about an hour later.

I rushed into the bathroom and repeated my rushed shower and dress up.

"I'll make breakfast for us." He said when I walked past him to the door.

"I'll have to miss breakfast. I'm grossly late, thanks to you." I said and smirked.

"You won't be attending that interview." He replied, his expression clouding over.

I knew that was his ploy from the beginning. It was the fourth interview he was stopping me from attending that month.

I ignored him and made for the door but it was locked and the key removed.

"Babe... Let me out of the house." I said gently. I glanced at my wrist watch. It was almost nine AM.

"Let's have breakfast and chill." He replied.

I exhaled shakily. "Babe, please I need a job. I'm already late, now you want me not to go at all? The banks are calling each day, the loan sharks are after me it's not like you'll give me any money to pay off..." My phone rang.

I looked through my bag for it. It was Ammy, my best friend, calling for the fourth time. She had called thrice in the midst of our heated sex.

She was probably worried that I hadn't arrived at the company. She took a big risk to submit my application for the interview and now that I was summoned, my boyfriend was against it. Ammy would be furious. She advised me to break up with Henry the last time he beat me up just because I insisted on going for our girls night out.

I sighed heavily and was about to answer the phone when Henry reached out and snatched the phone from me.

My eyes widened as I watched him turn the phone off.

"That was Ammy!" I yelled, my eyes blazing.

"You mean to say the bitch that is encouraging you to disobey me?!" He yelled right back, his jaw clenched.

He was angry and I needed to calm down.

"I've told you several times that Ammy is not a bad friend."

"Oh really?"

I nodded.

"Then get your ass on that seat." He said, pointing to a couch.

"Babe, No. I need..."

In an instant, his face reddened and he smashed my phone on the floor, the device landing with a loud crash.

My gaze followed the phone before reverting back to Henry. "Why did you..."

I bent over to pick up the phone but he pulled me away and pinned me to the wall, his hand gripping my throat tightly.

I froze, my heart racing as I struggled to break free.

"You won't quit, huh? How dare you? Now listen, it's either you quit or you risk losing this relationship." He growled

"Henry, please..." I pleaded, my voice subdued.

"I own you and you have to listen to me, okay?!" He yelled.

I struggled to nod as a tear dropped from my eyes. I should have listened to Ammy and left this monster. Why did I not? Was it because he was good-looking? Was it because he knew just how to satisfy me in bed? It was more than that. Henry was my first love.

He released his grip suddenly and I crashed on to the hard floor, coughing and gasping for breath.

I looked at him, he was smiling. How could he derive such pleasure from inflicting pain on me?

"Do you even love me?" I asked, looking dead serious.

"Don't ask me about love and get back inside. You already missed the chance to have breakfast." He replied as if nothing had happened.

"No." I said flatly. It was my turn to listen to my head instead of my heart.

"What?" He sounded surprised

"I need a job." I said and pulled myself up, dusted my dress and grabbed my broken phone and bag.

Henry burst into laughter, his voice ringing out. "Let me see you leave." He said and dropped the key on the table.

I stared at the key and with all the courage I could muster, took it.

Henry's eyes clouded. "If you leave now, don't ever come back and remember, I have all your money. There's no way you'll survive without me."

I swallowed hard and without a word, opened the door and stepped out of the house.

The tears started flowing immediately when I got outside. Anger and hatred rose within me for the man I loved with all my heart but who only used me as a punching bag and a sex toy.

My phone rang again. It was Ammy.

"We broke up." I said amidst sobs.
