Chapter 19

Through heavy eyes and a vision blurred with tears, Leila stuffs yet another dress into her box. Once she gives Tatung the divorce papers and he breaks her wrist, she will return to the house, get her stuff and leave the pack forever Her life here is over and if she stays, the mockery, humiliation and ridicule that will follow her everywhere will only sink her into depression.

She shuts the second full box and sighs deeply, her eyelids falling in exhaustion but she cannot stop. When did her closet become so full? She has no idea. She has never bought a dress for herself since she married Tatum, he does everything for her and he does it to an extreme.
