My life or should I call it a living hell? I have married a man whom I know no longer loves me. What did I do to deserve such pain? From as young as I remember, I was always obedient, honest and without intention of hurting a soul. Then I met my husband, at first it was like a fairytale, the seduction, a tempting bribery into the mists of hell, in fact it was too good to be true. Our marriage changed everything, drastically. He no longer wanted to play my lover; instead he wanted to have me as his slave. Am I any better than one of those prostitutes on the street? I am trapped with a devil, it's something I cannot get out of, even if I had the chance, I don't think I would.I mean what would I do with my life? There's no time to alter matters. What's done is done, and I have been cursed with this destiny. If I were to leave, I know, he'd have no care for our daughters and would get rid of them too, he would make them.never mind there's no point in talking of what won't happen. I can no longer be the bearer of happy news to him yet if only he knew that every time I cough it is a tender gateway to my death. This is what happened the day I found out. It broke my heart.

(Turns into flashback of her with priest-The 'confession'/bad news)

Wife- Father, I have a big secret to tell, but only to God and you and no one else must know. 

Priest- Tell me my child, what is it? You can confide in me. God and I will hold you free from judgement. 

Wife- Today prior to my appointment with Dr.Dunber, my husband and I could no longer contain our cold war, which inevitably lead to an explosion of terrible words beings cursed at each other. He said I was a waste of time and space, (sobs) and now it's all making sense to me. It is true I must be a bad person.

Priest- Absolutely far from the truth, don't say such things dear

Wife- No, you don't understand, today Dr.Dunbert revealed to me that I am dying and I am no longer able to conceive. (cries) How on earth will I be worthy to my husband if I don't bring a son onto this earth?! It's true I am a waste, a waste of life. My lord should find another wife who can bear him a son, just like he threatened me. 

Priest- My dear, I am so sorry to hear of your terrible despairs but you must try not to speak so pessimistically, you are a good person with a big heart. 

Wife- Thank you father, my ears aren't used to such kinds words, well not since the seduction died out.to hell with that! What about my girls? I love them with every breath but my husband; he sees them more worthy for business. If you know what I mean father... Oh! It's getting late, I really must dash, thank you for being so understanding father, I have not expressed such deep emotion since childhood.

Priest- You are always welcome and remember you are entitled to happiness, don't let misery get in the way. I shouldn't really say this but misery is a great destroyer of merriment and otherwise what is the point in existence?
