Kendra's POV

The time has come. The time for me to tell him the truth.

"Kendra I asked a question"

"Dexter..."

"Do you love me?"

"I..."

"Well maybe this will clarify your mind"

He took out an envelope and placed it on the table

"Open it"

"What's in it Dex?"

"I believe its the answer to my question"

I stretch to take the envelope from the table, I open it to see pictures, pictures from last night

"How did you get this?"

"So you're not denying it. Why haven't you ever mentioned your friend Stacy Jones to me?"

"Who's Stacy Jones?"

My heartbeat increased by the minute

"Your friend? The one who told you to stop seeing Liam? The one you dissed because of her advice?"

"I don't know any Stacy Jones"

"Stop lying Kendra!"

He hit the table so hard that the glasses rattle

"I'm not!"

"Stacy said you were a liar but I didn't believe it and now you are lying to my face"

"Dexter please..."

"Is the man in the picture Liam or Lincoln?"

I pause, my heart skips a beat

"Both"

"Both? Which is it? Liam or Lincoln?"

"It's the same person. I mean his real name is Liam, I made Lincoln up because I was too scared to mention his name to you"

"So you lied to me. If Stacy hadn't taken these pictures you'd have continued lying?"

"Dexter I wanted to tell you, I wanted..."

"When?! When did you plan on telling me? On our wedding day? Heck who knows if you were planning to jilt me"

"Dex..."

"Don't call my name!"

He stands with force pushing the chair down

"I planned this dinner for you, for you to tell me that this was all a lie that it wasn't true but it seems that I was wrong"

I didn't know when it started but my eyes were wet

"Kendra I told you about how my ex cheated on me and you promised you wouldn't do the same but look at you now"

He points at me

"I haven't cheated on you"

My voice was so low that I didn't know if he heard it

"I told you that I can't bear another heartbreak and I was looking for someone to heal my heart. And when I saw you heartbroken I knew you'd understand the pain but I guess I was wrong"

"No you weren't"

"Then what do you call this?"

"I do understand the pain"

"No you don't"

"I was always his Dexter"

"So why did you lead me on?!!"

"I'm sorry"

I held my face as the tears came out

"You're sorry? You're sorry? Our wedding is in a week! If you weren't ready to move on you shouldn't have agreed to marry me! Or what was your reason for agreeing to marry me?"

"I wanted to move on, I tried to move on but then he came back"

"And you jumped right back on the horse"

He shakes his head as he makes a tsk tsk sound

"I never meant for this to happen"

"You used me Kendra! You fucking used me! You even lied to my face that his name is Lincoln. You could've just told me there and then that he's Liam and you are getting back together, I would be heartbroken but I'll understand than letting me find out like this."

"I'm truly sorry"

"What is it about him that just keeps you going back?"

"Dexter please"

"Is it the way he touches you? The way he fucks you? Huh?"

"Dexter!"

He moves closer to me and holds my face

"I can fuck you better than he does"

"Dexter don't do this"

"Answer this question, all the times that I've fucked you were you thinking about him? Or did you wish it was him inside of you then?"

"I can't answer that"

"You can't or you won't?"

"I'm going home"

I wipe my face and as I stand he grabs onto my arm and pulls me back on the chair

"We're not done talking"

The anger on his face is as visible as the day

"Well I am and I can see that this conversation has taken a different turn"

"You want to run to your Liam eh?"

He presses my cheeks

"Dexter stop you're hurting me"

"How good of a fuck is he? Is he better than me?"

I keep silent

"Answer!"

He hit me and I fall to the floor

"Dexter!"

I lay on the floor as fear and shock grip my body. I've never seen this side of Dexter before, he's always been so sweet and caring but now he's like a wounded lion looking for who to devour.

He grabs my legs and turns me to face him as he comes down to my level

"Look at me Kendra, look at me"

He raise my head so I can look at him directly into his eyes. His blue-green eyes has lost its colour, the life in it has disappeared and his eyes has gone cold and dark.

"Tell me the things that Liam does and I can do more"

"Well for starters he doesn't hit women"

I pant as tears threatened to spill out

"Oh I'm so sorry about that, I lost my temper"

"What's wrong with you Dexter? You were not like this"

"I've always had anger issues but I can control it now."

"You call that control? Who knows if that's the reason your ex left you"

He hit me again

"Don't you dare Kendra! Don't you dare!"

"Dexter please"

I cry to him

"I'm not gonna make the same mistakes again not this time. You are going to marry me Kendra whether you like it or not!"

"To hell with you and your marriage! I'm done with you Dexter King!"

I remove the engagement ring and throw it at his face. I saw the anger escalate in his eyes but I ignored it as I crawl towards the door

"Get back here!"

He drags me back and rips my dress

"I'm gonna show you how much of a man I am"

"Dexter no! Please don't!"

I cry out to him but he ignores me as he removes my lacy panties and flings it aside. I struggle to free myself from his grasps but he is stronger

"Help! Someone help me!"

I scream but all to no avail. There is no one coming to my rescue

"No one is gonna come so don't sweat it"

I forgot that his door is sound proof.

"Dexter please I'm begging you don't do this"

"Oh I shouldn't? I just want to show you that I'm better than Liam"

He parts my thighs as he thrusts himself into me

"No!!"

I scream

"Be calm!!"

He thrust himself deeper and harder and with each thrust I cried out. I stretch out my hands hoping to grab on to anything that was on the floor. I scanned the floor with my hands and then I touch the candle stick that had fallen when I fell to the floor.

Immediately I grab hold of it and swing it at Dexter's head. He fell to the floor holding his head and screaming. I pulled myself up and grab my purse as I dash out of his apartment

"Kendra!!!"

I hear him call out to me, but I don't have the time to look back as I fumble with my purse searching for my car key, my eyes blurry from the tears I start the engine as soon as I brought out the key. There's only one place I'd like to be now and that's where I'm headed.
