He tried to explain, but I raised my hand to stop him, not wanting to hear any more.
Thomas and I met through a mutual friend.
He was good-looking and came from a good family. When he agreed to date me, I felt like I had struck gold.
For him, I gave up the opportunity to study abroad.
For him, I enrolled in various hobby classes during my free time, just to have common topics to talk about.
But I tried so hard to maintain a relationship.
At this moment, it was clearly extremely laughable.
……
After giving my statement at the police station, I went straight home.
Thomas followed me.
I ignored him, so he began sending me red envelopes non-stop.
He thought I would act like before.
I would forgive him easily.
"Baby, please don't be mad anymore, okay?"
"How about you hit me a few times to vent your anger?"
"I promise, next time I'll put you first. Please forgive me this time, okay?"
Thomas kept whispering in my ear.
He didn't care whether I was annoyed.
When I went into the bathroom to take a shower, he tried to follow. Seeing the bruises on my body, his eyes showed a hint of guilt and pain.
"Baby, I'm sorry."
He tried to hug me, but I pushed him away with all my strength.
"Get out, get out!"
