The most incredible time of our lives together

Valeri had escaped from a high security mental institution within 5 days and was back with me.

Nothing could stop him and I have to admit that a part of me admired him for that.

At first part of me felt sure that the police would eventually come for him once they were aware he had escaped and that my house would be the first place they came if just to warn me... but they didn't come!

The police did not alert me that he had escaped and did not contact me about it at any time then or in the future!

I can give the benefit of doubt and assume that perhaps they had not been informed by the hospital of Valeri's escape but I am reluctant to accept that after them placing him there using much force and brutality as they felt he was a danger to society so I fail to see that the hospital would just accept that he had escaped and let it go given the circumstances without informing the police even if after the event.

After a week of Valeri being back in my home and showing no signs of the monster inside him, I was sure that everything now would be ok and I was then glad that the police had not come.

I was now feeling anger towards the police that I could have been in grave danger and quite possibly dead if Valeri had wanted to do this as he could have done with ease without any concern about the police and being caught whatsoever.

I was angry as I felt that the police had used my safety as well as the safety of the community as an excuse to brutally beat Valeri prior to admitting him to a mental institution and that this was nothing more than an opportunity for them to behave in an animalistic manner for their own pleasure.

Valeri was absolutely stripped bare, broken and rock bottom from his experience in the institution and seemed like a man who had been so traumatised that he was born again through fear and shock. However he was for the better even if it was through such extreme circumstances.

Once he was rested and he and I both felt safe, I loved every single minute of our time together from this point on as being with him was everything and more than I ever dreamed it was possible of being.

My heart was filled with nothing but love for him and all my fear, anger and resentment of the past had completely disappeared much to my surprise!

I felt that I could spend the rest of my life with him which was not something I had ever felt about anyone before. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him!

I had always loved Valeri's eccentricity and that he had that special something that kept it exciting. He was always able to shock and surprise me with his crazy spur of the moment adventures and I loved that about him above all.

Of course the downside of this unpredictability in him in the past had also been the cause of the most frightening and dreadful experiences of my life too.

However he was not only displaying no signs of the monster he had been at times, he was now also speaking freely and honestly about that side of him and the things he had done and what he was capable of in a deeply remorseful manner that made me feel that he had had a moment of utopia from being in that awful place and this had been enough to open his eyes, mind and heart enough to
stop him ever going down that path again.

In these days that we spent together, I was happier than I had ever been and I am certain he was too. It was easy and everything just fell into place.

It was like we had fallen in love with each others souls and reached a deeper level that neither of us had known even existed.

In this time Valeri had asked me to marry him and I had accepted. We talked about the future and about having a family and it all felt right and like it was inevitable with no doubt whatsoever that this all would come to be.

We both felt that everything in our lives up to now whether good or bad had been all about getting us to where we both were now and against all the odds this was meant to be and out of our hands but in the hands of forces greater than us.

We felt that it was our destiny to have overcome such troubles in our relationship and instead of break us it all had cemented the commitment and desire to be together that would last the rest of our lives.
