No one understood the reason why Helen chose to stay with her husband, Shina even after she caught him cheating, disrespected her and impregnated another woman. Despite the fact that he never makes her happy, tries to file a divorce but she refuses to sign the divorce papers.
Signing the divorce papers feels like her greatest fears and no matter what she’s going through, she never wants to leave Shina.
Instead of saying goodbye to the marriage, Helen prefers to go for an hour therapy session, twice a week. After several efforts to make Helen leave the toxic marriage, her therapist, Quadri then chose to know why she insists on staying with a man who doesn’t love her anymore.
Madam, you ain’t looking good and healthy. If marriage doesn’t work, it’s better to leave it because it isn’t by force and marriage isn’t for everyone. Why do you still insist on being in the marriage? Quadri asked while he sat upright on his office chair hoping to hear the hidden story about their marriage which no one knows about.
I’m a hostage in my marriage, Mr Quadri, right away, Helen broke down in tears and rests her head on the office table.
Quadri handed over a white handkerchief to her to wipe away her tears.
A hostage? Do you even know what you are talking about? Do you know what a hostage means, Quadri was surprised to see a hostage sitting right in front of him.
Without further ado, Helen brought out her phone to show Quadri some photographs of the things that has happened in the past. She passed on the phone to Quadri to take a look at it.
Ah!!! he yelled. He wondered if there is still a woman like Helen in this world.
So, you mean that you transferred all your properties to him and changed them to his name?, she nodded. It was true. She transferred all her properties to Shina all in the name of trust but things went bad and she got stuck in the marriage. At last, Quadri knew why she was stuck in the marriage. She was indeed a hostage in her own home. Leaving the marriage means leaving all her inheritance and properties for Shina. At the same time, staying in the marriage will put her life at risk.
As soon as she showed Quadri the proof of transfer, they started trying out the possible solutions on getting back the properties before the adjourned date of their divorce case.
Then, Helen’s home looked like that of cat and rat. Her eyes were always on her husband and his were always on hers too. Something was fishy. Helen wanted to know wherr he hid the documents but her husband kept suspecting that she wanted something from him or looking for something.
Shina took all the valuables away from the house including the documents that shows the proof of the transfer. Helen took some jewelries and other things which are not noticeable in the house, then out them up for sale.
The adjourned date was here and Helen was hoping that the judge gives them more time before the final divorce but that didn’t happen. The judge has given them enough grace by adjourning the case three times before making his final decision.
From this day, this court has ordered the marriage between Helen and Shina to be dissolved immediately, all hopes were lost. The hostage was free but lost her properties. Helen’s heart skipped even more than a bit. She had just lost almost all of the inheritance she got from her late dad.
Then, the court ordered for all of Shina’s belongings to be divided into two while the wife takes one of the divided portion.
The properties were divided but she lost her most valuable property, the house where she lives in which was her father’s favorite during his lifetime.
Unfortunately, the hostage became free but not all her belongings were free. Helen’s therapy session didn’t stop and she went from going to the therapist three times a week to five times a week.
Mr. Quadri, do you think I can trust anyone again in my life, she asked her coach and therapist.
Yes, we can. You only crossed the line. You were the one who put yourself in the position of a hostage in your home, he said to her.
It was a never ending tears for Helen. She cried almost all day and asks for forgiveness by the grave of her late father.
She lost almost all she had but gained her lifetime freedom.
