Mask Of A Man Ebonie Clayton

An abusive marriage can ruin your mental health. It can destroy your peace, emotions, ability to function properly and you slowly stop being yourself. An empty vessel you become, devoid of feeling any emotions.



Bella, the protagonist of the story, falls in love with a charismatic handsome man who, for a moment, makes her feel like her life might be whole now. His presence had overtaken her and her life revolved around him. Number one mistake.

All those red flags didn't warn her. She was head-over-heels in love with him until the walls came crumbling down and the veil of love was snatched away by the unnerving reality of Bella's life.




She was disillusioned, realizing she had fallen for a manipulative demon whose emotions changed like the weather. He was aware of the emotional control he had over her, and he exploited that to his full potential.




Brokenhearted, with children, and completely dependent on her emotionally abusive, unfaithful husband, Bella realizes her best chance at happiness is to leave him and run away with her children.




Will she have the courage, or will she succumb to the desperate pleas of manipulative love?
