AN: the italics is her 'parents will' being read by 'their' lawyer..

She sighed and continued to stare unblinking at the ceiling above, her 'husband's' steady breath of sleep giving off the only sign that she was alone to dwell in her thoughts. She continued to stare at some imaginary spot on the ceiling as the darkness still cast its shadow; not willing to relinquish its hold of the night. Slight movements at her side made her adjust the position she was in to allow him more room as his arm sprawled over her stomach, even while he slept his arm was circled around her slim frame in the possessive manner she knew to well.

Before she wouldn't have minded, actually she probably would have cuddled up to him and relished in his warmth; but not now….she had loved him, with everything that she was worth, her heart was his the moment he had asked. It didn't matter that they had only been married 6 months, 4 years of knowing him and being with him is what actually got them into this union. It had started off grand- amazing you could say- he treated her with such kindness, always whispering sweet nothings in her ear; taking her away for days on end to some unknown place just to spend 'alone' time with her. He always had a way of making her smile, making her feel special, and of course her parents loved the man, always saying 'he's like the son we never had'. They had everything in common, lived in the same upper-crest community, had the same friends, and to top it off; his parent were my parents business colleges.

To tell you the truth I don't know when it happened…. But he changed…. before I get ahead of myself let me tell you how we ended up married in the first place.

It happened about a year ago, our parent were on a business trip discussing how to merge there companies together when the plane they were on crashed. I think that it devastated me more that it did him- they were truly gone- it surprised me how his attitude towards his parent deaths was indifferent, it was like he didn't comprehend that he would never see them again. I sure as hell did, it had taken a week until the funeral was upon us and I found myself sitting brokenly in 'their' office staring at our lawyer, who was in fact reading my parents will.

'We love you darling, we had come to an agreement that if anything should happen to us we needed someone to take care of you, so we are officially appointing him to be your guardian so to speak. We know that you love him and that he loves you, so…. I guess what we are trying to say is that it would give us great honor in having you take over our business, we pass everything we own; our life's achievements, over to you…. On one condition, that you and him marry, I know it may seem unrealistic to you know but please try to understand it's only for your well being. He can take care of you and help you with becoming the great women we know you are. We love you.'

It was a shock at first- anger welled up inside her chest at what they had requested. Sure she loved him, yeah they were happy, but to demand that she marry him; as if she could have no control over her own life. But as she always did- for she could not deny her parents- she obliged to their 'harsh reality check' and they set a date to be married.

Everything would be fine, right? He had always loved her and what harm could be done by making it official?

Wrong………….

He had become possessive after their marriage; almost taken it upon him to believe that she belonged only by his side. She was trapped in a gilded cage as he ran 'her' company. The man she had loved was no longer there, instead replaced by someone whom she could not stand to have touch her.

Of course he did not know any of these hidden dark thoughts that possessed her; she as clever as she was knew not to disturb 'murky water' so to speak. It wouldn't help her now, nothing would…..

So she continued to stare…in the dark… at some imaginary spot on the ceiling. Hoping that maybe it would open up, engulf her, and take her away from this hell that she lived everyday.
