Chapter One

I felt my nose break as he punched me. I cried out in pain, and stumbled away from him.

" Ah-ah Bella. Don't cry. You know you deserve this." He murmured. He took my arms and shook me. " Do you understand, Bella? Do you know why I have to punish you?" He was only an inch from my face; his voice was getting moderately louder. I didn't know why he was suddenly acting like this. He was never mean. Especially to me. We'd been going out for five years, before last year we finally got married.

" Answer me Bella. Tell me why you're being punished!" He finally yelled. His face was red, his eyes fogged with anger.

" I don't know, Edward." I cried.

" Wrong answer." He roared before back handing me. I saw an explosion of color behind my eyelids, and blood filled my mouth. " Answer correctly, Bella. Or you won't live through the night." He threatened me. I shook with horror and tried to think back on the night.

We'd gone out to a business party with Edward's co-workers. I was dressed in an evening gown Edward had picked out for me. It was a dark shade of green. He claimed it looked wonderful on me. Green was his favorite color. His co-workers greeted us with smiles and kisses. Edward had always been possessive over me. I liked to think it was protectiveness. So I didn't think it was strange when he wrapped an arm around my shoulders and whispered in my ear.

" Don't talk to anyone." He had whispered. For emphasis he gripped my arm and squeezed. I winced visibly and nodded.

" Of course, Edward." I whispered. Then plastered on a smooth smile. He released me, and turned to talk someone. I wandered, not wanting to interfere with his business.

There were multiple people I didn't know, and I was talked to by many of Edward's co-workers. But, keeping to my word, I didn't speak to anyone. I didn't want to send Edward into a temper. He was known for losing his temper, and getting angry. I knew that I would get an earful if I defied him. It was easier to follow his wishes.

So I was walking around, not talking to anybody, just minding my own business, when I suddenly tripped and fell onto someone. I shrieked in surprise. The person and I both landed on the ground in a giant heap.

I looked below me and saw someone I knew all too well. The head of staff at his hospital. I gasped and quickly got up, apologizing profusely.

" It's alright Bella." He grinned. He wasn't old, about thirty, with blonde hair and beautiful blue/gray eyes. " I know how clumsy you are, dear. Remember, we've grown up together." He laughed lightly, getting up and brushing his bottom off.

" I'm so sorry Carlisle. Really. I didn't mean to fall on you."

" I told you it was fine." He took my hand in his and kissed it lightly. Everybody who had stopped and were watching got bored of us and moved on. Everyone except my husband. His face was beat red, and his eyes were dark.

" Bella." Edward's voice held a warning. I quickly shook my hand from Carlisle's and stepped away from him, toward Edward. I knew I was in for it now. He was going to yell at me when we got home.

" Ah! Edward Masen. It's good to see you!" Carlisle pretended not to hear the malice in Edward's voice, and the violent look on his face. He took Edward's hand and pumped it aggressively, powerful.

" Dr. Cullen. It's good to see you. I'm so sorry about my wife. She's extremely clumsy." Edward explained, trying to calm down, though he'd took a hold of my wrist and was squeezing it.

Carlisle laughed gently, releasing Edward hand. " Oh. I know that. Trust me." Edward's eyes narrowed and he gripped me harder. I winced and fought back a yelp.

" I embarrassed you in front of Dr. Cullen." I whispered slowly. I hoped it was the correct answer. I didn't know how far he'd go.

" Correct Bella. I knew you'd get it right." He taunted me harshly. " I told you not to talk to anyone. Then you go and get all over my boss! Bella. You're a s stupid slut." He paused, thinking of something. " I want you to strip down Bella. Get out of that dress." When I didn't move he started to rip the dress off of me. " I said strip!" He yelled. I sputtered as I pulled the dress down my body. " Take it all off Bella." I shook as I thought of what he'd do to me. Rape me? Why else would I have to be naked?

WARNING!!! This is where the real intense stuff happens. I will tell you when it ends, so if you'd like to skip it, then please do so. You won't miss anything.

" Good girl. Now turn around." I did as he told me to, not wanting to get hit again. I felt the silk of the dress on my wrists and he tied them behind my back. " This is going to hurt, my precious." He whispered roughly into my ear. I sobbed, scared of my husband. Then, I felt a welting pain on my bottom. I screamed out in pain. What was he doing to me!

" Don't worry my Bella." He grunted after every hit. " This'll teach you, and you'll never have this done to you again." I turned to look at him, and regretted it. He was holding his leather belt, and was whipping me with it. He was beating me with a belt, and what made it worse was that he seemed to be enjoying it. He had a bulge in his pants, and his green eyes had a dazed look to them. That was the look he got when he was horny. He was going to rape me. I screamed again, as the belt hit me again.

" Oh Bella." He murmured roughly. The whipping stopped, and I heard a rustling of clothes, then very roughly he entered me from behind. I screamed in agony.

I was being raped by my husband. As he pleasured himself with me I cried.

" Oh Bella. You're so fucking hot and tight. Though," He mused, still pounding into me roughly. " I think I'd like to try something new." He pulled out of me all the way, then slammed into my ass. I felt the ripping of my skin, as he filled me up. I screamed, and felt blood trickling down my legs.

" Please, stop, Edward." I sobbed. He didn't listen; instead he started to go faster, harder if that was possible. I repeated this, again and again, until he came and pulled out of me. He dropped me to the floor before gripping my hair and pulling me to look at him. I couldn't do anything, I was still bound and I hurt too much.

" Shut up, Bella. Suck my cock." I opened my mouth to protest but as soon as my mouth was open he started to pump into my mouth. He held me by the hair still, and he moved my head with his movements. I started to gag, thinking where his penis had been. He stopped assaulting my mouth, and again transferred himself into me from behind.

This happened all night.

Ok. This is where the really graphic stuff ends. You can start to read again,

When I awoke in the morning, I felt the pain from that night. At first I couldn't register why I felt like that. Then, as I got up, and felt the pain on my bottom flare, I knew what had happened. He had beaten me then raped me, repeatedly. I stood as quick as my sore limbs would let me, and rushed to my closet.

I scanned the room and the closet for Edward, before I grabbed a suitcase and packed my clothes.

It only took me ten minutes to get my things packed, get dress, and I slowly crept down the stairs. I was going to get out of here and go to my father's house. He'd help me out of this mess. My father was the chief of police in the small town I grew up in. Forks wasn't too far from where I'd been living with Edward.

For once, I was glad Edward had bought me that ridiculously expensive car. Now I'd have a way to get away. I looked down the hallway, toward the kitchen, making sure Edward wasn't there. When I turned back there he was, standing there with his arms crossed over his chest. A sly smile was dancing around his lips.

" Good morning, my beautiful flower." He said nicely. I shuddered at the look his eyes held. He was mad still… or again.

" Let me go Edward." I whispered, trying to sound fierce. It didn't work on him though. He knew me too well.

" Nuh-uh buttercup." He used my pet name. I wanted to gag. " You're staying here." He took an intimidating step toward me. I took one back, and to the right. Maybe I could trick him.

" Please Edward. I'm just going to visit Charlie." I tried to lie. I wasn't just visiting him; I was going to stay with him.

" No. You see Bella. I know you. Better than you even know yourself. I've had you in so many ways… you're mine. I've marked you as mine. No one will ever want you now. Not with the way you look." I raised a questionable eyebrow. " Look for yourself, buttercup." He pointed to the mirror on the wall. I hesitantly, with him still in my sight, moved to look at the mirror.

I let out a sharp gasp at the sight of me. My face was red with my own blood, and it was puffy. My lip and left eyebrow were slit. My eyes were blood shot from crying for hours, and my neck had finger like bruises. I raised a shaking hand and touched my nose. It was broken. I knew by the look of it.

" Now. Since I'm a doctor… I'm going to take good care of you, my precious darling." Edward moved closer to me, and I whipped around to glare at him.

" Don't come near me." I screamed, my anger finally catching up to me. " You did this to me! Why should I let you touch me?"

" Tsk, tsk. Bella. You know I don't need you're permission. I'm your husband." He laughed annoyingly. " And you most defiantly don't have any opinion or RIGHT to tell me what to do!" He was finally yelling. I shuddered and shied away from him. " Now go to the kitchen and make me my damn breakfast. And after words clean up, Dr. Cullen is coming over for dinner." He took my suitcase forcefully from me and went up stairs.

I went to the kitchen, thinking about what he told me. Carlisle was coming over. How would he hide what he'd done? Lock me away?

I didn't have to leave the house for help, no, I just had to tell Carlisle.
