Maya was perplexed by Zan’s inexplicable behavior. Whenever Zan was with his friends, he would become impolite to her and would even insult her if he saw her talking to any other guy. Despite this, Maya believed that these actions were merely signs of love, and she thought that Zan was incapable of expressing his emotions properly.
Anil, a friend of Maya’s, attempted to persuade her that this was not how a healthy relationship should function, but Maya was not willing to accept it.
One evening, when Zan had been drinking, he burnt Maya’s arm with a cigarette butt. Maya had requested that he not drink excessively and think about his future, but Zan had become increasingly reliant on alcohol.
Strangely, Zan never seemed to remember any of his abusive actions toward Maya in the morning. Maya contemplated leaving Zan due to the escalating toxicity of their relationship, but whenever she attempted to do so, Zan would become exceedingly sweet, causing Maya to have a change of heart.
Furthermore, Maya had overlooked two critical concerns. Zan was financially dependent on her, and her income was being depleted as a result. Furthermore, Maya’s work was being impacted.
Pooja, one of Maya’s closest friends, expressed her dismay at Maya’s situation. Pooja believed that Zan was taking advantage of Maya for sex and money, and she urged Maya to reconsider her relationship.
Maya was hesitant to acknowledge the truth behind Pooja’s statement, claiming that Zan was merely stressed out because of his business issues and depended on her. She was unaware of how much her mental health was being harmed.
Five days later, something occurred that completely shattered Maya.
to be continued…
I hope Maya is able to overcome this situation with Zan without too much consequence. The relationship sounds toxic.
Completely sounds toxic. Maya needs to wake up one more and realize she can’t do this anymore.
Oh, no. No, no, no. Don’t make excuses for him, Maya!
It is really difficult to be in a relationship with someone who drinks and does not have control of themselves. Most especially those who have anger management issues. They can get scary.
Oh dear, I hope Maya wakes up from this one-sided relationship really soon and find someone who really appreciates her for who she is and what value she brings to the table.
I so agree that the relationship sounds one-sided indeed. Maya deserves better. Any woman deserves better than Zan.
One day it will come. It is easier said than done to just leave, but she is well on her way because she has shown strength before in not talking to him. But she needs to stick to it even when he comes calling.
I felt that last line of not responding.. its so me, haha! great job! Makes me more hooked!
Poor Maya. I hope she finds a man who would respect her and treat her with love.
I also wish Maya would be enlightened and make the decision herself to leave her abusive partner.
I hate people who manipulate their partners for money and sex. I hope Maya would really just leave.
Now, what could be that thing, that event, which shook Maya? I need to know that. Haha.
I’ll have to find out soon what it is that shocked or shook Maya after 5 days. But I hope she’s still doing fine.
The cycle of abuse Maya is experiencing hits close to home. It’s all to easy to say “just leave”. Not so easy when you’re in it.
I agree with this, too. Getting abused somehow has an effect both mentally and emotionally that gets the person confused and not able to decide to leave right away. Most especially if it’s someone that they love.
I have to agree with you. When you are in one of these abusive relationships, one’s judgment gets clouded by an emotional pull towards the abuser.
Oh my, this is awful. I hate men like Zan. I hope Maya wakes up from this and breaks free.
Nooooo don’t make excuses for him, Maya! Girl needs to find a decent and respectful man!
I hope Maya would wake up and get out of the relationship the soonest. Her partner is getting abusive and she should have seen the signs. Not good. Not healthy at all.
Ugh I feel so much for Maya. I’ve known men like Zan and this is not good.
This is definitely a difficult situation for Maya, and I hope she can overcome it.
I hope Maya sees the light and leave this relationship.
I agree with you. Her love for Zan has kept her blind from the harms that staying with him is doing to her.
No one should allow this type of abuse in their life. It’s time to leave!
Totally agree. Some women get easily swayed when their abusive partner shows some affection. They should know that sooner or later, the monster will resurface and the cycle begins again.
Agreed, but sometimes the psychological games these people play make women believe they are useless, worthless and it’s their fault. Praying she wakes up and realizes the truth
My message to Maya: Run fast and far from Zan! Do not put up with physical or emotional abuse!
I think in such kind of toxic relationship, it’s very difficult to get out. It’s the fear that has set in, which does not allow Maya to make a decision, hope she finds the courage to take the step…
Yet another amazing installment in the Chronicles of Maya series! I can’t wait to discover what happens next with her…
Not even married already getting violent..worst are yet to come better off with someone else
Leave this good-for-nothing man to someone better, Mya. Someone that appreciates your worth as a person.
I hope Maya wake sup and realizes that she is worthy of someone who respects her and cherishes her. This was a very engaging story.
I worry about Maya. it’s funny because you made the story so well I feel as if Maya is my friend, I do want to stand next to Pooja voicing my concerns
Unfortunately, there are several thousand of people in Maya’s position around the world. Hopefully, things for her (and all of them) get better soon.
Drugs and alcohol can easily poison a relationship – Maya should watch out.
So worried after reading this. I wish the situation would be better for Maya soon.
Zan really sounds like he is using Maya. The fact that he insults her in front of his friends and drinks too much and behaves badly is not a good sign.
omg what happened next! Now i want to know lol…Amazing story…
Being in a one-sided relationship with a situation that one cannot control like alcohol intake can be debilitating. I hope Maya can overcome this.
I’m worried about Maya. This relationship is becoming toxic. I need to read the next chapter!
Another great little snippet. Excited to read more!
I want Maya to have victory. I want good for her. . When do we get the next part???
Thanks for keeping us updated with what’s going on with Maya and it’s always dramatic. Great writing and I am intrigued! – Kncyx Journeying
I hope Maya wakes up or come to her senses and get out of that situation.
Abuse is so tricky, you think we would just leave but we don’t.
Great read. Lots of love. X
Maya needs to open her eyes and wake up to reality. Thank God Pooja’s there to remind her.
Dump the guy!!! Super toxic. You deserve better sweetie!!! Kick his sorry ass
I am confident that Maya will have the strength to leave.
Maya is stronger than she thinks and I am confident she will have strength to leave Zan.
Poor maya, i think it’s time let go’ somehow it will affect her sanity too.
Oof. Maya deserves so much better than that drunken jerk!
Oh, man. She finally got her guy, and he’s a big fat jerk. She can’t stay with that dude!
These are all just red flags. Maya needs to see that. She is trying to “fix” him, but it is NOT her responsibility to do so. She is giving Zan waaaayyy too much credit. If he wanted to he would. He isn’t so move on.
Ah.. toxicity in a relationship. That is so sad and I hope she will move on.
This relationship is getting more complex for sure. Love following this journey.
I’m near the point of shaking Maya. This is no longer healthy.
She will never be happy if she continues to be with a guy like that. This isn’t loving. She deserves better. Girls, know your worth. Always pay attention to red flags.
The relationship is really getting toxic and I hope Maya comes to her senses and weighs things with proper consideration and not just emotions. I’m enjoying enjoying story so far.
I wish Maya could see that Zan’s behaviour is not healthy. He shouldn’t be acting like that in front of his friends and belittling Maya. Great story.
Zan is super abusive! I hope that Maya realizes she is in a bad relationship before it is too late.
I hope Maya is able to overcome this situation. Such a great story to read.
the saga is so interesting , i think you are going beautifully … keeping us rooted
Doesn’t seem like the right guy for you.
Great installment! This relationship is definitely not a healthy one! She needs to get out now before he spends all her money and she loses all of her self-esteem!
I suppose that is the easy way to say that you don’t remember anything about it – that way you don’t have to take account for your actions 🙂
I hope maya leaves zan for her own good. Abusive and toxic relations can take a toll on someone’s mental health.
Is Maya starting to see the light? Can’t wait to find out
Sheesh this relationship is getting more toxic by the day. Hope all goes well and he realizes what his drunkenness is doing to Maya. Or Maya should take a strong step soon.
Can’t wait to see what happens after 5 days! I’ll be checking back for sure
Maya just needs to leave his toxic butt and be done with it!
Poor Maya I hope she can escape this before it gets worse… I’m really intrigued to read your next blog!,x
I would love to know more about Maya. I hope she will be okay soon!
Maya should get out of this toxic relationship. I am curious to know more.
Oh no! I hope Maya realizes she’s in a toxic relationship soon. I can’t wait to read more.
I hope so, too. I don’t think she should make excuses for Zan’s actions in her head .
reminded me of my close friend who had an ex like that. An Alcholic and a chain smoker with drug absue. It was so hard for my friend to get out of that realtionship.
Maya needs to stand up for herself and show what she is made of at this juncture in the plot. The story is poised at the crossroads now.
The girl need to leave this relationship, it is not healthy and she is being manipulated by Zan.
I’m on edge to find out what happened next! Great read!
So curious to know what happens next, I hope things turn out to be positive.
It’s difficult to keep a safe relations ship with someone that’s too much dependant on alcohol. And for some people it’s not easy to leave this addiction.
Whats in it with that good-for-nothing guy – why Maya cant’ leave him? There are plenty of fishes in the ocean.
Maya needs to know her worth and get out of the abusive relationship. If she really cares for Zan, then she should make sure he gets into a rehab as well because clearly he is suffering too.
It sounds all too complicated. There is a fine line between love and possessiveness. Maybe Zan has crossed that line and that has started affecting Maya.
Maya should leave Zan. Any kind of toxic relationship is bad. Maya should show some character.
Oh.. what cliffhanger… I so admire your fiction skills…so many layers and the hidden meaning… Learning a lot from you.
It is vital to be in a relationship with a person who drinks uncontrollably.
Hope Maya understands teh true meaning of the love and walks out of Zan. Looking forward for the next post for the story.
I love reading about Maya. You are such an excellent writer! Looking forward to the next episode!
That’s really sad , hope Maya finds her peace looking forward to the next episode on this.
I hope Maya is able to overcome this situation with Zan so crazy!!! I am totally so into these cant wait to see what happens next
Sadly, so many people find themselves in this situation. I hope Maya has the strength to move on and realise this is her one precious life.
It made me think about how we justify everything in the name of love. One toxic relation can ruin every area of life. Hope this story gets happy.
I understand what Maya is going through but she will make the right decision in due time…
Alcohol makes some people act completely different from what they usually do
Excited to find out what happened next to maya!
Hey, Maya. When are you going to wake up from these horrors. Leave that guy.
I hope Maya will win in this story. Women should deserve something better in the soceity.
I’m becoming a true epic this tale, I invite you to write longer episodes. So they are too short, you can hardly get into the mood and emotions of the same.
I really do hope Maya starts taking care of herself and pays attention to her mental health.
This is awful for Maya he deserved someone else! That guy is so toxic!
Interesting story what a great read.
