When the Fireworks Faded
1.1k Views · Ongoing · Agatha Christie
On our ten-year anniversary, my billionaire boyfriend unclipped my safety harness and shoved me off a skyscraper.
I hit the safety net so hard my bones cracked. It knocked the wind out of me. When the panicked staff finally dragged my bleeding body back up, Brooks didn't even check if I was alive.
He was busy smiling at Maddie.
Maddie Sinclair is his rich childhood friend. She is autistic, and watching me suffer is her absolute favorite thing.
"Do it again, Brooks! Look at her face!" she laughed, waving her phone at him.
Brooks just looked relieved. Her autistic meltdown was over. All it took was almost snapping my neck.
Over the last ten years, this was my life.
When I lost my job, he bought a banner to celebrate with her.
When I was in a car crash, he let her stand outside my hospital room and laugh at my injuries.
Every year on her birthday, he made me dress up as a clown just to keep her entertained.
He knew pushing me without a harness could have killed me. But keeping his friend happy was all that mattered to the great CEO.
I only took the abuse because I needed his money.
But as my own blood dripped into my eyes, blurring his face, I was just too tired.
I finally wanted to give up.
