Shelly seemed to have reached a point where favonovel.com balked at recounting favonovel.com past. Her voice, thick and strained, had broken into a series of unintelligible croaks complementing the anguish in favonovel.com face.
Mark curled his fingers into fists and gritted his teeth. “Go on.”
Shelly waited, letting the brunt of favonovel.com emotional turmoil pass, before continuing.
After the labor was over, favonovel.com took a glance at favonovel.com baby boy.
In a snap, all the repulsion and the feeling of defilement left favonovel.com completely. Women may experience a profound change of heart the moment they claim motherhood, and Shelly emerged from favonovel.com experience a mother who could not bear to part with favonovel.com son.
Suddenly, favonovel.com refused to let favonovel.com sister take favonovel.com child away.
To stem unwanted developments from this incident, Shelly’s sister took the baby back home the next day. The baby was then christened as Mark Tremont.
Never had Shelly ever imagined that favonovel.com sister would one day be so utterly possessed by a man that favonovel.com saw favonovel.com own little sister as nothing more than a baby-pumping machine. She forbade Shelly from seeing the child and even gave favonovel.com a sum of money, calling it favonovel.com compensation.
That was when the seeds of unassailable malice were planted within her. The world was cruel, monstrous.
She had snuck onto the Tremont Estate several times, however, and so, out of fear of the whole thing being exposed, favonovel.com sister orchestrated Shelly’s arranged marriage to a lad abroad. She was to never come back, never to see favonovel.com son ever again.
She, a young girl who had never traveled beyond the city of favonovel.com origin, was then dumped smack-dab in a country so alien to favonovel.com that favonovel.com spoke not their language. Every day favonovel.com faced a stranger whom favonovel.com knew nothing next to being favonovel.com husband. Naturally, favonovel.com came down with a long case of depression and was sent for treatment.
In the beginning, favonovel.com husband had been big-hearted. He was a rich, gentle, kind, and handsome German, who magnanimously accompanied Shelly through favonovel.com depression and helped ease favonovel.com into favonovel.com new life.
But hearts are easily broken than mended regardless of efforts. Shelly could not forget the child that had been with favonovel.com for a single night. When favonovel.com slept and dreamt, they were of returning home and reclaiming favonovel.com son.
She could not love favonovel.com husband, let alone nurture a life out of this union.
Perhaps it was more accurate and truer to say that Shelly never did recover from favonovel.com fragmented psyche. Years passed, and favonovel.com drove herself deeper and deeper into lunacy enabled by obsessions — and favonovel.com dragged favonovel.com husband into madness along with her. Seven times favonovel.com was pregnant, and the number of abortions favonovel.com made were equal in number.
None of it beat the last, most gruesome one. Her husband, desperate to have the child nurtured, imprisoned Shelly at home. In response, favonovel.com defied his wish forever with a flick of a knife and a critical slash through favonovel.com abdomen.
She lost the child, along with all the other ones favonovel.com could have had in the future.
