Grabbing her with his left hand. Dickson gave out a resounding slap on Niki's cheek, followed by yet another unexpected slap which left her half way to the ground.
DICKSON: (without an iota of shame on the main road asked) who was that young man I just saw you spoke with?
NIKI: Baeby, it's not what you think. I can explain. This statement further earned her a deep blow to her mouth which then attracted more than expected onlookers.
STRANGER: MR. please take it easy on her. She is hurt already
DICKSON: (fumming with greater rage now) who the hell are you to interfere in my business?
STRANGER: I am sorry Sir, but the Lady is hurt and I can't watch you inflict more pains on her. There are better ways of sorting out issues.
At this point, Dickson, quickly pulled Niki into his car and drove off speedily.
NIKI: Baeby!
DICKSON: Don't you dare baeby me. So this is what you do? You lie to me that you are coming to the market, only to start flirting with other men. Today is your unlucky day. Let's get home first. But don't just say another words to me again. SLUT!
NIKI quietly sobs in the car as her man hastily drove without staring at her. He had changed. Niki thought to herself. Is this the man that once treasured me? Is this the love I once felt i had found?
Before she could finish with all the unending questions in her heart. The gate opened and she found herself dragged into the living room by Dick(as she fondly calls him).
At home, he had found a better ground to treat her as he pleased. No one would question his actions here. No one would pour out their gutters into his business( so he thought to himself)
Without giving her any chances of defending herself, Dickson gave out another hot slap on Niki. Flogged her with his belt. Made sure he beat her up to his very satisfaction, after which he dashed out of the house. Leaving her in her pool of blood and unconsciousness.
**NIKI **woke up few hours later to find herself alone in the house and in pains. As always, she dragged herself into the bathroom. Wash herself and quickly called on her friend JANE to come assist her to the clinic
While at the clinic
JANE: Babe, don't you think its time to quit this relationship? No be marriage o. For a guy that has not married you yet beats you up this bad, he will kill you when you guys finally settle down. You are my best friend and more than a sister to me. I can't see you inflicting pains on yourself and allow you continue. You really have to put a stop this this relationship my friend.
NIKI: but Jane you know I love Dick. I deeply love this guy.
JANE: (quickly stood up and snapped at her) will you keep quiet! Is this what you call love? You can barely stand on your own. This has been going on for more than two years. Is it until he kills you before you will learn? Can't you see the picture clearly that this guy has no respect for you?
You are a graduate. Yet you can't put that which you studied, into practice for fear of been caught talking to another man (male clients). You can hardly even associate with so many ladies! He dictates everything you do ever since you lost your parents and he took over from sponsoring and supporting you. Niki you have lost your mind because you believe you can't do without him. You have centered your life around him, reasons why you can't move on. Where is your worth as a woman Niki?
**JANE **almost exploded as she yelled at her friend who was now drooling in tears but interrupted by the presence of a nurse.
NURSE hope you are ok madam. The doctor will see you soon. She left the ward to attend to other patients
DOCTOR: walks into this ward to find his patient hastily cleaning the tears off her eyes. Smiled and patted her on the shoulder. How is my pretty patient fairing? Please may I speak with her alone? He said to JANE who left the room without further delays.
NIKI: doctor, I am feeling much better now. Please will I be discharged today?
DOCTOR: sure my dear! But you have to be very careful. I mean, all these on a pretty and smart looking woman like you in this 25th century is unbelievable. Whatever caused this must be stopped dear. You deserve better.
NIKI: Thank you very much doctor. I will try and keep up with my treatments and medications. She left the ward to meet with her friend who assisted her home.
At home!
It was some minutes past the hour of ten (10:00pm). Dick, walked into the room to find Niki lying on bed facing the wall. He couldn't comport himself all through as he paced round the room for some minutes without her offering a word of greeting or staring at him even. He finally realized he should have his bath. Then he walked into the kitchen to get himself something to eat.
After which, he went back I to the bedroom to find NIKI in the same position. He climbed on the bed. And laid next to her. All he could hear was the sound of her heart beats. None uttered a word to each other for as long as they could recall.
After about three hours of silence on bed. DICKSONsoftly laid his hand on NIKI's hip bone. Gently caressing her to get her attention. Slightly he unzipped her nighty_shirt. Made his way to her nipples.
Softly, he caressed her thighs while giving her a passionate kiss on her lips. Dipped his pinky finger into her soft and wet pussy!.
NIKI Awh! Issssss!!! Oyeaaaaaah!!!. She couldn't control the ecstasy she was deriving from his touch. She gasped out in excitement. Softly pleading him to touch her more.
He got her again. DICK knew just the right trick to get back his woman's heart, so he never hesitates to implement it. They made passionate love that night and talked after the sex.
As usual, Niki would always be the first to apologise while DICK makes sure he blames her for everything.
They settled that night. Or so he( Dick) thought. But Niki has been pondering on what to do to better her life. Her friends advice and that of the doctor sank in this time.
She had to apologise to Dick for peace to reign while she finds her feet as she had nothing to fall back on should she mess the situation up with anger. She risked been thrown out with nothing.
Weeks have come and gone with NIKI trying all her best to maintain the tempo of peace in the house.
She met with the doctor again in a mall few days after she left his clinic. They got talking and severally meet_ups came to play and for the first time in years, she felt like a woman. He took her out to places DICKSON was too proud to take her to. Beach visitations and other hangout points where not left unvisited.
This continued all these while, as she discovered she was also in love with the doctor. This great news she couldn't keep to herself. Hence she shared with her beloved friend JANE he encouraged her not to take it for a joke. They kept it a secret. Got an apartment (though not as luxurious as Dick's but more peaceful than his) for her.
He returned that day to meet her with her belongings absent. He made all necessary calls but couldn't get through to her. SHE IS GONE. He hurried to Janes house but didn't also meet her as she went on a voluntary business trip to avoid his disturbances.
Three months ahead
Doctor Damian proposed to NIKI. This was the best thing that had happened to her in years. They traveled to Dubai for their wedding shopping. A date was already fixed.
On this faithful Wednesday everning after work. DICKSON returned only to be handed a brown envelope by his gateman.
He opened it and it read "*In you I found a best friend when I lost my family. I found a brother and lover who made me feel I was worth more than gold only for but a moment. I really loved you Dick(she left a sobbing emoji hanging there). I tried my best to make it work, but it seemed my best was not good enough. I am sorry I had to move on. I had to find my own shinning _stars. I had to rediscover the woman in me. I have to live again. Thanks for all the lessons you thought me. But for your I'll_treatments, I wouldn't have met the man of my dreams. He treats me better. Lest I forget, I am a month pregnant for his baby and we can't wait to have him. Here is my kind invitation to our wedding in three weeks time. I MOVED ON!
Have a nice day*
DICKSON FOUND HIMSELF ON THE FLOORIt was too late. He lost the only woman that could tolerate his attitude yet loved him real. He cried all he could but she Wad gone.
Niki was delivered of a baby boy months after her wedding.
Had a new life!
A happy home to exert her loving energy on.
