He said he was heartbroken, and even
pretended to have a heart attack.
He even got on his knees on the camera,
pleading with me to come home.
“I’ve never seen such devotion!”
“He’s the man of my dreams!”
く
“True love!”
Some people would call him out.
[Why does he have to get on his knees and
cry? That’s what abusive men do.]
[What if there’s more to the story?]
[Let’s not jump to conclusions.]
But they got silenced.
Mark was getting more and more confident,
and began flirting with co–worker Crystal.
He even brought Crystal home.
He had been planning all along to get rid of
me, and marry her.
He thought he would be a martyr, and that
everyone would want to be with him.
All of it was caught on camera.
They were so easily manipulated, as they both
stepped into my trap.
Too bad for them.
He was going to pay.
I gathered everything, and started to post it
online.
At the same time, I shared the files with the
police and filed for divorce.
Г
I spent money to promote the evidence.
It ended up trending, and caused a lot of
chaos.
The public loves drama, but they hate being
manipulated.
I made sure there was no room for doubt.
Soon, reporters found me.
I stood in front of the cameras, and described
the beatings.
Though it had been so long ago, it still
caused me to break down and cry.
I wiped my tears and spoke to the camera.
く
“There’s no such thing as just one beating.
Stand up for yourself. Don’t let abuse ruin
your life.”
I sighed, “Don’t stay for the sake of your kids.
Well–behaved kids want you to escape! The
bad kids want you to die! You come first!”
Countless women are living in abuse.
I wanted to give them hope.
I called Mark’s work and said how bad the
company was if they employed a person like
him.
I exposed him to his peers.
He deserves to be in a sewer!
L
He got talked about everywhere.
It wasn’t a surprise.
Abusers are cowards.
No one ever saw him get into a fight.
But when he was home, he was a monster.
I never said anything about his abuse.
But I knew I had to expose him.
He was nothing to me, or my daughter.
I let people know.
The people who had sent him money,
く
demanded it back.
Mark couldn’t take the heat, and just became
silent.
Crystal had been attracted to Mark’s
influencer status.
But it was over.
She said he had manipulated her.
I finally got a moment to head home to pick
up my degree.
I was going to study again, and I was excited.
Sarah was bawling.
When she saw me, she threw herself at me.
“Mom, I knew you would come back for me!”
She was so confident.
I shook my head.
“I just came to get my degree.”
She stared at me, not believing me.
I grabbed my degree.
“Mom?”
She started yelling, and tried to hold me.
“Mom, I’m sorry! I was foolish! Please take
me with you!”
“Sorry doesn’t work.”
<
I ripped her away.
She was a terrible person, who shouldn’t be
on Earth.
Especially considering she backstabbed me
every time.
I was right to leave.
If I was a forgiving person, I’d never get
anywhere.
For Sarah, I was a lifeline.
She started yelling at me.
“Mom, I didn’t want to give Mark the address.
He manipulated me!”
She stopped speaking.
My heart started pumping.
“He manipulated me,” she said.
“He manipulated me to do what?” she said.
“He manipulated me to tell you that you lived
where?
Sarah said.
“At the Suho House?”
The Suho House, was where I had been
murdered.
I never went to city B, or rented a room.
