........................................................
"Don't you dare run away from me, " I heard him scream as I ran swiftly up the stairs as fast as my legs could carry me
With my heart screaming to me not to stop for the fear that I wouldn't see another day if I did
As I hide in the attic, my heart beating out of control , I internally prayed to the heavens that he won't find me here
But the universe was definitely not aligned in my favour
"Bang..... Bang
I suddenly heard a loud sound coming from the door, making me shiver in an uncontrollable fear as tears rolled down my eyes none stop
Roses! He screamed my name from the other end of the door, threatening to break it down
"Rose, I know you are in there, open the door sweetie I just want to talk, " He said quite calmly with a hint of anger in his voice as he continued to slam on the door
Terrified to my bones, I needed to find a way out of here, needed a place to hide from this monster
I look around eager to find an escape but there was none, so I screamed at the top of my lungs for someone to help me
Help me.... Someone help me ," I screamed hoping that someone would hear me
I continued to scream endlessly , my voice slowly becoming hoarse as I prayed to the universe to save me ,but the realization dawned on me soon enough, that no matter how much I tried no one was coming to my aid because Keith owns every one around me
Still drowning in my own pool of despair and anguish, the door busted open allowing the devil in, with that same look of satisfaction in his eyes , a smirk came to play so casually onto his face, whilst he made his way to me
"Baby..... Do you think you can hide from me, " he asked mocking me with each words he made
"Keith please let me go,"I begged him as tears flowed down my eyes just like a river
Laughing at the top of his lung, he soon grabbed me by the arm digging his fingers dip into my skin pulling me onto his chest
"Please.... Keith, you are hurting me ," I cried out struggling to set myself free from him
Remember Rose you are my wife, so you are my property to use as I please, " He said smacking me to the floor as he hovered over me looking at me with disdain
"Don't you know, you have been a naughty little girl, so I'm going to teach you a lesson to always obey me, " He said smirking bringing out his belt, sending strokes after strokes onto my skin
No please Keith stop......" I screamed over and over in an intractable pain as I begged him to set me free
"Shut the fuck up!" He screamed as a smile crept onto his face...
He was clearly enjoying watching my suffer
"You know baby, you look even sexier with the way you scream my name and I'm going to make you scream my name even more, " he said as he tied me up to the beam with the belt he had in his hand, ripping off my clothes hysterically as I stood there exposed in front of him
Keith, please don't do this, " I begged him but all my pled fall on deaf ears ,as he hits me even harder shutting me up
"I own you, Rose , remember that," he said as he thrust his length into me over and over again, engulfing me with every movement his body made on mine
Reaching his peak, he left me there vulnerable and in the dark , the silence and despair became my new home as I could barely move or breathe, with the tears from my eyes and the blood from my skin soaked me as I shivered in pain
I allowed the pain and sorrow take me on an endless journey, as I wondered how the hell I got to this point
To a point where life meant nothing to me anymore, and all I see were sorrow and pain which has become like a second skin to me, a skin I could easily put on effortlessly
This brought me to the realization that I couldn't live like this anymore, I couldn't continue to mask the pain and sorrow I was passing through each day
I had become a shadow of myself, and the light in my life has been dimmed for a long time
8 years...
8 years of marks, I desperately tried to cover from the world
8 years of lies, I kept telling myself trying to justify his actions, trying to be the perfect wife to please him
8 years of scars ,he tortured me with both physically and mentally, he broke me completely making me feel I deserved all the hurt and pain he inflicted
8 years of watching the man I once loved turn into a monster, I now hate
8 years of me not knowing if maybe the next day would be my last
Keith was never always like this, although rich and influential, he was gentle, kind and caring, a loving man who always took care of me and supported me with everything, but it all changed two years after our marriage, and I began to see the monster behind the mask
As my love for him gradually turned into hate, the hate that threatens day and night to consume me
Constantly fighting a battle within me, trying my best not to allow the hate and darkness within me win, struggling not to allow the hate that rises day by day to consume me
Striving not to allow it to take the little part of me I had left
But that part of me, that tiny part of me that still had a little hope , of getting my husband back , unfortunately I lost that night
As weak and terrified as I was, I knew I had to make a change once and for all, knowing I had to leave because of the uncertainty of not knowing if tomorrow would be my last
So I called up the only person that could help me escape this nightmare that was now my life
Hey, it's me... I need your help...
