Faced with such undeniable facts, Ethan was completely defeated without any surprise. After the first trial, my best friend Kitty linked arms with me, walking alongside and giving me a thumbs up. “Marina, you’re really amazing. I’ll have to learn from you in the future.”
Just as we were walking out of the courthouse, we unexpectedly ran into Ethan, who was furious after losing the lawsuit. He threw a bottle of mineral water at me and even raised his arm as if he was going to strike me. Fortunately, the security personnel at the courthouse quickly subdued him and pinned him to the ground. He angrily shouted at me, “Damn bitch! Damn bitch! I swear, I’ll kill you if I ever see you again! I’ll beat you every time I see you!”
I didn’t respond. Instead, I calmly dialed the police. Unsurprisingly, Ethan was taken away for detention on charges of disturbing public order.
I couldn’t help but think back to the first time I had called the police for Ethan. The female officer who was handling the mediation had told me something that stuck with me: sometimes, the marriage certificate, which should protect a marriage, can become a shield for violence.
Thankfully, I had now escaped that suffocating, entangled “cage” of my past. The future awaiting me would be nothing but light and a bright tomorrow
