Hello all! Brand new story right here. Just a word of warning though: - this story has a bit of domestic violence in it (mainly the first chapter). I just want to assure everyone that in no way do I condone domestic violence in any way against anyone. This is a fiction story but I do realise that domestic violence does exist so I hope I don't offend anyone. Please feel free to review.
Silent Secrets
Chapter 1
Sharni Nichols was brushing her teeth in the bathroom when she glanced up in the mirror and saw him. She felt herself being thrown against the wall. The pain across her cheek was immediate from the open hand slap from her attacker. An angry red welt on her face didn't take long to appear. The tears were like a waterfall, flowing down like a torrent down her face. She tried to stop, crying made his anger rise. Another slap was all she needed to know she had angered him. This hadn't been the first time he had hit her. She was used to being abused by him. She knew she had to escape, knew she couldn't bear the pain anymore. Sharni struggled to understand how her life had become so unbearable and incredibly lonely.
Sharni watched him turn on the faucet and rub his hands with soap. The red blood smeared on his hands wasn't there because of hitting her, they were there because of another reason. Sharni knew he was hiding something. Something dangerous. The only reason she stayed was to find out what it was he was planning. It was risky, she could very likely be killed by him and she didn't think anyone would notice if she was gone. Sharni had an incomplete truth right now and she needed to know the whole truth. The truth as the whole city would soon find out would be terrifying. Finding out all she could about her dangerous brother, Glen Nichols was stepping into a world of the unknown. The truth may set you free, but it may also get you killed and Sharni would soon learn the truth about everything and discover secrets hidden that will change her life.
