Claire's POV:

I woke up to beautiful sunset which peeped under venetian blind. I smiled myself and stayed on the bed still about 15 minutes. It felt good to have a free day from work after a long time.

I made pancakes to myself and looked the note on the table which Robert had left for me:

"I had to leave to work (emergency and there was no any other polices free than me) Sorry, I'll come back in 4PM"

I sighed and took a bit of my pancake. Seemly I was able to keep that house for myself only today. Actually, it was a good thing because now I was able to do that thing which I had thought to do a long time, clean the house.

-

I sat down on the couch and looked how good work I had done. My phone started buzz on the table and unknown number appeared on the screen.

I wasn't sure should I answer like it would be anyone. However, I felt a bit lonely and talking with someone would help to that. Plus, you couldn't ever know if it was some of your friends who had decided change her or his number.

I pressed green button and answered: "Hi, it's Claire Preston speaking" I heard familiar chuckle and my heart took extra beat. "Hi, it's Justin here. Are you busy?"

"Oh hey! No no, I just finished cleaning the house. What's wrong?" I hummed. "Nothing, I just decided call and ask how's everything going?" he asked. His voice sounded a bit nervous. "Oh, well I'm doing just fine.. w-what about you, Justin?" I shuttered still shocked about the fact that he had decided call me after months.

"I'm good too.. yeah" I laughed nervously and I could imagine how he would be scratching his neck if we talk face to face. He always did that when he was nervous. And it was one of those cute things on him.

"Yeah.. but I think that I got to go now. Robert will come home in any second and I actually think so that we sh-" A little cough interrupted me and made me turn my head over the door.

Third POV:

Her shocked eyes met his boyfriend who was standing there in front of the door and staring her. "Close the phone!" he told and Claire did like she had been told. She didn't want risk her life because of that dumb thing.

"Oh, hey handsome! How was your day?" she tried act happy and moved closer to Robert but for her surprise he pushed her away. "Claire, don't!" he mumbled. "Don't act like I wouldn't have heard your words"

She chuckled nervously and smiled. "He just called in wrong number, okay? We didn't talk more than 5 minutes maybe not even that. It's not big deal" she explained but soon felt a strong arms wrapped around her and pushing her on the floor. She whimpered weakly.

"But you was talking with him! After everything we have went through you still want go back to him, huh? After everything I have done for you and gave to you" he blamed her and made Claire insecure a bit. "No Robert, it was nothing. We just-"

She couldn't finish her sentence before she felt it, that big hand of his slap strong against her cheek. She collapsed fully on the floor now and tears formed to her eyes when she looked her loving boyfriend turning a monster in front of her just in second.

Another slap met her face and this time she decided to just close her eyes and cover her face with her hands even though it would help nothing when there was a strong and big man against her who was short and weak like a newborn puppy.

She could do nothing against him, she felt like she would have been a prey which beast would have been attaching now. "Fucking liar!" he yelled and slapped one more time before he left the room and his now crying girlfriend there.
