Grant Me a Painless Ending

Summary

In the six years we had been together, he had never once transferred a single cent to me.

Grief and a suffocating sense of injustice flooded my chest. For the first time in my life, I lost my mind. I screamed. I cried hysterically.

Desperate to shut me up, he panicked and delivered a sharp, stinging slap across my face.

"Are you done throwing a fit?"

I spent the entire night sitting on the freezing hardwood floor, clutching my swollen, throbbing cheek in a dead daze.
