Dangerously In Love.

Chapter 1: Dear Diary

Life was beautiful.

I used to Lie down on the sandy shores of the beach of Costa Del Sol, gazing at the beautiful sea as the breeze would hit my skin. Relaxing in pure bliss and enjoying a glass of champagne. Those were the days. Hmph, not anymore.

I was born and raised in Costa Del Sol and used to live with my parents in a villa by the beach. Being born into a middle-class family, I never did need to worry about money as both my parents had very well-paid jobs. My mother worked in fashion as a seamstress and my father owned an estate agency. He had many wealthy clients including President Shinra, who is the most ruthless and cruellest man you could ever meet, stopping at nothing to gain more money and power. My dad despised the fat fuck with a passion! I was so lucky to have them as my parents; they were the best parents anyone could wish for. Sadly, they both died of the Geostigma virus, and It was very hard for me to cope with their deaths, but with the help of my best friends, I exalted through it and became a stronger person.

When I turned twenty, I finally opened my bar in Costa Del Sol called "Martini's." It was always quite busy, but I enjoyed myself, and the tips were amazing! Most of the customers I served where Shinra SOLDIERS and they would always stop by the bar whenever they had a break from their missions.

That's where I first met him.

At twenty-two, I met this tall, dark and handsome, extremely well-known SOLDIER called Angeal Hewley. He was honour bound and would protect as many people as he could; nothing could stand between him and his honour and pride. Many young men idolised Angeal and would join SOLDIER to become heroes like him.

Angeal destroyed and ruined my life.

Still to this day, Angeal just gets to go on and live the rest of his life as normal while I live like this. He took me away from my hometown and now I am trapped and locked in the bedroom of his house, staying in this strange village called Banora. I am scared and have no freedom whatsoever, being under constant surveillance all the time. I feel as if I am trapped in a nightmare and cannot wake up. Someday, I will escape his clutches and run away from this hell, going back to the life that I once had. Angeal was so romantic and kind at the beginning of our relationship that I fell head over heels, madly in love with him. I trusted him with my life and I felt comfortable with him. I never imagined that he would... I could never really get away from him. I tried to leave but he just kept coming back for me and then it got worse. I thought this was how a normal relationship was supposed to be. I believed that it wasn't his fault for what he has been through and that was his way of showing how much he cared and loved me. I felt ashamed like I deserved it. Angeal always tells me that he loves me and would never hurt me again and yet he continues to break his promises and abuse me. You have no idea how worthless you make me feel. Words cannot describe how much I... Hate you.

Adriana suddenly stops writing as she can hear the sounds of his heavy footsteps and set of keys jingling, outside of her room. The door handle starts to move making her panic. Panicking, Adriana quickly hides her diary, under the mattress of the four poster bed and turns around pulling the quilt over herself. She immediately closes her eyes, pretending to be asleep, hearing her heart pounding inside her chest getting scared.

Gaia, please don't hurt me again, she prays to herself.

Angeal enters the room and flicks on the light. He stands by the door, watching her.

I can feel him looking at me, his eyes burning into my back. I'm scared of him, and I just want him to leave me alone. I feel utterly powerless against him, but...

Wouldn't you just like to know how it all began?
