Intro

This is the story of Regina Mills. She is in an abusive relationship with her new husband, Leo White. She doesn't want this; her Mother forced her into this marriage. She often wonders if all arranged marriages are like this. Is this really the life she is to live forever? She doesn't have much light in her life; she loves her Father more than anything. She also has her friend, best friend, Emma Swan. Emma plays a big part in her life, does she mean more to Regina than she realizes?

"Regina Mills do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? To love and cherish him, in sickness and in health?" Regina knows that she can't say no, no matter how much she doesn't want this. It's an arranged marriage, and she hasn't known Leo for very long.

"And do you Leo White take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? To love and cherish her, in sickness and in health?"

"I do," once all the vows are said they share a kiss neither of them really want.

Later that evening at the wedding reception, Leo is off to god knows where with his merry men while Regina's left alone to mix and mingle with some people she knows and some she doesn't. But she's happy in that moment when she sees the blonde walk through the door.

She shouts across the room, "EMMA!" The blonde looks straight at the woman in white with long brown hair as she starts to walk to her. When they're close they embrace into a hug.

"Hi," Regina says, "I'm so glad you came!" She says with a bright smile.

"Where is that husband of yours Regina?"

Regina shakes her head, "I don't know" and before Emma can even ask another question she's interrupted by none other than Cora,

"Regina come with me to the lady's room" Cora says as she grabs Regina's wrist tight, dragging her to the bathroom. Regina doesn't have a choice in the matter.

Once they enter the bathroom Cora checks to make sure nobody is in the stalls and shoves one of the chairs in the bathroom under the door knob to stop anybody from coming in.

Cora starts to shout at Regina, "what is she doing here?"

Regina starts to stutter out her answer, "becau... because I invited her."

"Why?" Cora snaps back.

Regina stutters, "because she is my friend and she's Daniel's sister."

Cora looks at Regina with daggers in her eyes, "do you know how that must make your husband feel? You cut her off now Regina! Do you understand me? You are not to see her or her family ever again."

Regina replies to her Mother by saying, "no you can't do that she's my friend."

Cora slaps Regina hard, "don't you dare shout back at me! You will get rid of her, now!"

Regina replies sadly, "yes Mother." She knows she is no match for her Mother, there's no point in fighting.

While Cora and Regina are in the bathroom, Leo sees Emma and storms over to her.

"What are you doing here?"

"I was invited." Emma snaps back, she never did like Leo.

"By who?" He shouts.

"Your wife." Emma says in a calm voice.

"We don't want you here, leave!"

"I will leave if that's what you want, as soon as I give Regina the wedding present I got her."

"We want nothing from you." He responds.

"Now leave." Emma hears the voice behind her and knows it's Regina's Mother. Emma looks to Regina with soft eyes full of sadness for the young woman who was forced to grow up so quickly. Regina would never willingly do this.

"Regina, do you want me to leave?" Before Regina can answer Leo grabs Emma by the wrist and drags her from the party, with some help from two of his merry men, they throw her to the ground of the parking lot. Regina is right behind them and pushes past to help Emma up off the ground.

Emma snaps, "you bastards!" To the men and starts walking to her car. Regina follows behind her.

Unbeknownst to them, Leo watches from a distance in disguise.

"Emma I'm so sorry!"

Emma sighs, "I'm fine, it's you I'm worried about. Now that your married to that ass hole. He has no respect for woman at all! Here you go," Emma says handing Regina her gift. "I hope you like your wedding gift," Emma says giving Regina a soft smile, "just don't let Leo see it, ok?"

Regina smiles as she nods her head and gives Emma a big hug goodbye.

"I'm going to miss you Regina" Emma whispers into the embrace.

"Me too" Regina whispers back.

While Regina walks back to the party, Emma opens the door to her parent's car and gets pushed in by an unknown force. A hand grabs her mouth to stop her from screaming. Emma uses all the strength she has to fight back, but he's stronger than she is.

He pulls and rips her blue shirt and pulls down her pants. As he takes his hand away from her mouth, Emma screams which earns her a hard slap that causes her head to hit the metal door handle giving her a big bruise. She knows she can't fight back anymore as he sticks her pants in her mouth.

"That should shut you up" he says. He forces himself inside her and Emma starts to cry looking away as she sees headlights in the distance and can feel him cum inside her.

She feels sick to her stomach.

As the car headlights get closer they light up the car, she sees his face and looks at him with tears in her eyes.

As he pulls her pants out of her mouth she screams at him, "you bastard!" He grabs her mouth to keep her quiet.

Leo whisperers in her ear, "you tell anybody about this and I will make sure you are reunited with your brother. You got that?" Emma nods her head in fear and Leo leaves the car. Emma stays there as she starts to cry, pulling her shirt together the best she can.

She's got a long way back home.
