The crisp dark night could not wipe out the depression on her face. She could barely notice the glittering marquees at the alley. All she wanted to do was to run, but where to? The person she ever trusted had threatened her and vowed to kill her if she ever thought of leaving.
This is a story of an ordinary girl who fell in love with an ordinary guy. She was 19, he was 30(but his looks said 40). He was a crackerjack mechanic but she knew him to be a manager at ABX companies. Wendy was drunk in love. Her innocence gave her away.
Anyone who cared for her irked the idea of her running away with the man they knew little about. No one could stop her decisions however because she was an adult according to the law.
Wendy took the route to freedom without responsibility and went to live with the love of her life. Few months into the relationship was heaven and amazing. They lived in a bedsitter but it was just fine. When Markez came home late, it was okay. After all, he was hustling for the both of them. When he complained about her dressing, it was okay because he was looking out for her. But when he started abusing her emotionally and degrading her, it raised an eyebrow.
Six months down the line, we see a battered Wendy. Her beauty could still be seen underneath the ugly scars. She was not allowed to work, study or visit anyone she knew. Her only work was to cook and entertain his drunk friends. Failure to do so would be met by tough repercussions; sleep outside or face whipping depending on his moods.
Wendy had been innocent, unworldly and a romantic. Now she was 18 years old and living a horror film.
