I had just arrived back to the Chateau. I was glad that Raoul wasn’t home, he would have asked me where have I been, and he would think I was with Erik. By now, I didn’t care what he thought of me. It was mistake for me to marry Raoul. I had to get out it somehow.
I had gotten on my best dress today. I was going to tell Raoul It was over. I didn’t care what he did to me. It couldn’t be worser than what he had done to me in the past. Why did I make such a foolish choice.
I was sitting in my living room, when I saw him come inside the room. “My Darling, You look beautiful today. I know you have missed me so much”. He smiled at me.
“To tell you the truth, my dear, I didn’t even miss you. I want our marriage to end.”
“What?” He came up to me and took my hands and squezed them with his big hands.
“Don’t hurt me, Raoul.” I cried.
“How dare you say a thing like that. You deserve everything you’re getting.”
“Get away from me! I screamed. I kicked him right in the face. I was very proud of myself for doing it. I could almost see Erik smiling at me for what I did. I know he would be very proud of me for standing up for myself.
Raoul came up to be and hit my face as hard as he could. He knocked me out onto the floor. Then I saw him. It was Erik. He had come to save me. “Oh.. It’s you again, my dear friend.” he said madly. Raoul was a madman. I thought he was insane.
“You leave her alone, before I kill you. I love Christine. I can’t see why anyone would want to hurt her. She’s an angel.”
“An Angel? She’s more of a devil now. She deserves anything she has gotten from me. She is mine, you madman!” He screamed right into Raoul’s face. Raoul went into his study and got a gun. I quickly got up from the floor.
“No Raoul! Please Don’t! I’ll die , if you kill him. Leave him alone. If you won’t to kill someone , then kill me.” I stood right infront of the gun.
“Then, if you won’t get out of the way, then I’ll kill you with him.” Raoul pointed the gun at my legs and shot me. I fell to the floor in pain. When Erik saw this, he took the gun away from Raoul, and broke the gun into.
Then suddenly the policemen came, one of our neighbors heard the noises and call the police imediately. Erik was on the floor right beside me. “Christine, please don’t leave me. I love you!” he cried.
I spoke up to him. “Darling, I will live, and we will live happily everafter.” Erik took my hand into his and kissed it.
The police had arrested Raoul and put him into a hospital for the insane, and I was taken to the hosital. I was fine. He had just shot me in the leg. The doctor said it didn’t hurt the baby. Erik was beside my side when I was at the hospital. He didn’t even care if anyone looked at him the wrong way. He only cared about me.
A couple of months had flown by and we had our baby boy with us. His name is Alexander Erik Destler. Erik and I had married right after the divorce with Raoul. I was so happy at last! I was with my one true love now!
