      Chapter One

      My forbearance seems to have run out. As I could no longer withstand the beatings. I had held out for a long while thinking that the pain would go away and I would not care what he did to me. I keep on asking myself what did I do wrong to deserve this. I am left with only one thought, my voice is all but gone from the screaming and shouting. Begging has done me nothing.

I lead hundreds of people in my Johannesburg Stork Exchange listed company. I have thought less of the woman who was abused, I said to myself they are naive to be in such a predicament. With no way to call for help, because he shattered my
