Alone - 1

Alone - 2

She wasn't sure of been in love of him, she wasn't sure of forget or not him, but she was sure that she didn't want to feel alone anymore there.

They married two weeks later, in the court. Clark went there and he couldn't belive it becase he's mother haven't never told him that she was in love with anybody. Martha wanted to invite Lionel, too, but she didn't feel able to tell him that she was getting married with somebody, so she finally didn't.

The happiness after the wedding end two days later, when they started to look for a new apartment. They where at James's apartment speaking about that, and James liked one which had a big room for them and onether one which he said it could be HIS office...
M: You wanted to say OUR office, dear, don't you?
J: No, I said it right.
M: But I will need a place to work home, too.
J: You won't. You will leave your job soon.
M: I will not - said her laughing thinking that he was joking. But he was not.
J: Of course you will, you're MY wife now, and I wont you to be at home working just for me.
M: You're joking, aren't you?
J: I'm not joking, durling. Your obligation is to stay at home and cook for me. I will be who take the money at home.
M: No. If you want this to go on you will have to change your mind, because I will continue working.
J: You can't say me what I have to do! - he stood up.
M: Don't shout at me! - she stood up, too.
He slapped her and she felt on the sofa. She wanted to rised but he pushed her again.
J: Where are you going?
M: At home. At MY home.
He was holding her arms so she couldn't move.
M: Released me! - she was trying to get free from his hands but she couldn't.
J: You're mad if you really think I will let you go now, dear - he joined his lips with hers, he was kissing her, but she didn't want it... she bite him. He screamed and then he released her without realising it. So she could get away from him and she left the apartment.

Some minutes after Martha arrived to her apartment, he was knocking the door. She didn't want to open it but he was making a lot of noise, it was really late and the neighbours could went out to see what happened. She open the door.
M: Please, go out from here, that was enought...
But he didn't listened to her and pushed her inside. She felt on the floor.
J: You have been a bad girl, Martha, I will have to teach you how to behave with me.
He took off his belt. Martha was really sceared, she tried to run away, she rised and went to the door. He grasped her by her hair.
J: Are you running away from me again?
M: No, no... I just... - she was really sceared of what he could do to her.
He pushed her towards the wall, she stopped herself with her hands. And being there, facing the wall, he tore up the back of her blouse and hit her with his belt there. All happened so fast. It started to bleed before Martha could feel the pain. Then she screamed and moved from there. The second hit didn't touch her and James get upset for that.
M: You're a monster! - she was crying of pain.
J: I don't want to hurt you, durling, I just want to teach you.
M: Fuck you!
He went towards her, she tried to scape. It was impossible. He seized her and took her to the bathroom.
He obligated her to watch at herself in the mirror.
J: Look at you! What do you think you are? - she said nothing - Answer me!
M: A woman - she said, breathing hard, really sceared.
J: NO! You are MY woman! - he was shouting at her ear - Say it!
M: I'm... your woman - she said it really soft, and crying.
J: I didn't heared at you!
M: I'm your woman. - she couldn't stop crying but she tried to say it louder.
J: That's better. Now we repeat with me... I'm your woman...
M: I'm your woman...
J: and I will ever obey you.
M: and I will... NEVER obey you.
James shouted very furious and hurled Martha against the mirror. She did a big cut on her cheek. They had to went to the hospital and they had to close the wound.
The nurse: How did you cut yourself this way, Mrs.?
M: It was an accident - she tried to hide the other injury she had on her back and which still bleeding, so she where a jacket on, but the nurse watch some blood there, and thinking it was from the face cut she touch it and when Martha moved a little because it pains her, the nurse put out the jacket and the jumper that Martha had put on before came to the hospital...
The nurse: Oh my God! That wasn't an accident! - exlaimed. Martha start to cry - Mrs. You can report this if you wish, we can call the police.
M: No! No, really, it isn't necessary...
She inmediatly left the room. James was out with a present for her.
J: I'm sorry, durling, I didn't want to hurt you this way, you needn't leave the work if you don't want it.
He gave her a nice necklace which he put on her neck, and they both went home.

They finally boutht that apartment. James' ill-treats and batters to Martha coniued during too many time. She finally left her job because she get tired to lie about her hurts and injuries.

The day that they celebrated their first wedding aniversary...

Martha was waiting her husband with the table set very nice, and with a delicious dinner. She also dressed herself so pretty with a black dress. He arrived with some flowers for her and he also gave her a pair of earrings. They had dinner and then they went to the room. Martha was taking off her dress while he was in the bathroom when the phone rang. Martha answered it...
M: Yeah?
C: Mum?
M: Hi Clark! Are you calling to congratulate us for our aniversary?
C: No mum, are bad news what I have to tell you...
M: Are you ok?
C: I am mum, it's Lionel who's not ok.
M: What? What happened to Lionel?!
C: He came back today. But his limousine crashed with another car when he was going home.
M: Is he ok?
C: The doctors said that he broke his arm and a rib, but he's unconcious.
M: Oh my god!
C: Mum, I don't know if you will come, but... when he arrived to the hospital he still awake and he asked for you...
M: I will take the first plane to Metropolis, I will be there at the morning.

When James came out from the bathroom Martha had just left the phone and she was dressing again.
J: Are you going anywhere?
M: I have to travel to Smallville.
J: Does anything happened to Clark?
M: No, he's ok... it's Lionel.
J: Lionel?
M: Lionel Luthor. I spoke you about him... ah!
He slapped her and she felt on the bed.
J: You pretend to leave me alone on our aniversary nigh, you've foreget too many lessons, durling...
She rised while he pick up her belt from the floor.
J: Let me remember them to you.
M: Keep this away from me.
He tried to hit her with it. He cut her at her hand. Martha screamed and while she looked at the injury he took her and pushed on the bed again.
J: Is our aniversary night and I will have sex with you even if you want, or you not. - said him while he tied up one of Martha's hands to the bed's head with the belt.
M: Released me! Keep away from me! - she was trying to get free from him when she kicked him on his parts.
He felt down from the bed and she could untie her hand with the other. Then she left.
M: I hope you will not be here when I came back, because I will come back with a divorse aplication.
