Chapter 1
On a warm summer night near a privately owned beach stood a lonely semi-secluded two-story house that was made up of glass windows. The house overlooked the wide blue lake that fed to the ocean. Sand covered the front and backyard of the house for miles and miles as far as the eyes could see. Across the lake was the closest to civilization that could only be reached by boat or a person had to swim across.
A blonde haired woman was in the cold water to her lower toned calves, collecting sea shells to make a necklace to pass time of her mundane life. A blonde haired man looked at the woman bending down in the water gathering the seashells and smiled at the woman's girlish antics. He walked towards her from the dock that was behind her and covered her eyes when he was near her. The woman immediately popped up and felt the masculine hands on her eyes.
"Guess who,Lucy," the man said in her ear seductively.
"Uhm,hmm," Lucy pretended and giggled.
"Lucy," the man said warningly.
"Ok, it must be my darling husband, Sting," Lucy said and turned towards her husband.
He grinned at her and began kissing her passionately. She eagerly kissed him back and placed her sand covered arms around his neck to bring him closer. Sting pulled back to move Lucy's hair out of her eyes and kissed her nose.
"I love you Lucy and I will never let you go," Sting whispered and kissed her again.
Lucy looked away shyly and sucked on her bottom lip with her dimples showing a little bit.
'He must of had a good day. Thank goodness,' Lucy thought.
"We have a dinner party to go to. Let's get dressed. Come on," Sting said and kissed his wife on the forehead. She wrapped her water soaked arms around his waist and walked back to their house made out of glass.

Days Later
"Hi honey, I will have your dinner on the table in just a ,-" Lucy began but was met with a fist to her face.
"How many times do I have to tell you that my food need to be put on the table when I get home. You don't have me waiting like I'm some customer! What's your excuse now?" her husband shouted at her.
"I-I lost track of time. I'm sorry," Lucy said quietly with her left hand on her cheek.
"Yes you are. What was I thinking when I made you marry me. I was an idiot. Just wanted your pussy and it wasn't even that good," Sting her husband said venomously.
"I didn't mean to make you angry. The food is done. You just have to-," Lucy began but her other cheek was met with the a slap then a punch to her nose.
"I don't have to do shit that I don't want to do. The boss already tell me what to do. Now I have to come home and listen to you bitch and complain. You know what. I'm just going to eat out,"Sting said in a huff and went to the bathroom.
He shoved Lucy out of the way to make his way down the hallway. He stopped in the threshold and inspected the immaculate master bathroom but he found a minut problem.
"You dumb bitch. Get your ass in here now," Sting yelled from inside the master bathroom.
Lucy hurriedly ran to the master bathroom to see what was the matter.
Sting was standing in front of the towel rack with an irritated raised eyebrow.
"You see what the problem is?" Sting asked through gritted teeth.
"I-I-," Lucy began and corrected the eyesore of the three decorate towels not aligned to each other with two centimeters of a space between them.
"I know you are sorry. No, correction, you are useless,"Sting said and just rolled his eyes.
He pushed her out of the way and went to his bedroom to change. He took off his grey and red suit and hung it up in the closet. He then exchanged that outfit with a black button down, khaki pants, and brown Sperry shoes. He gelled his hair into spikes and applied some cologne on his body. He took his wedding ring off, placed it in his pocket, and walked out of the house without saying anything to Lucy.
Lucy saw her husband of three years walk out of the house until he got to his car. Lucy wiped her eyes, her bloody nose, and clutched her stomach.
'Just glad he didn't hit me in my stomach. I guess he wasn't too mad today,' Lucy thought sadly.
She went to the garden tub and cut the water on to hot and poured a cap full of lavender scented bubble bath. She looked at the glass walls that surrounded her like a prison. She leaned back in the tub willing her body to relax. She took a deep breath and screamed in her hands.
Lucy let her mind wonder and knew that she deserved better for herself and the child that was growing inside of her body. She saw her reflection of her fair skinned body and rubbed her thumb over with scars that was fading but was still there. Memories of how she got them and the reasons for them made Lucy cry harder.
She looked at the new bruise that was developing on her face from earlier in the evening. It was a bit sore to the touch still. Lucy was surprised that she still felt pain because she knew she hadn't felt love in a long time. She just slipped deeper into the steaming water until it covered her mouth.
'I got to escape or I am going to die alone here,' Lucy thought to herself.
