*****Hey I've edited this as I am not satisfied with myself*******

Sunlight shone through the white drapes, creating a dazzling white light. It poked his eyes. He grunted and slowly raised his eyes, adjusting his gaze to the light. He glanced at the digital clock on the bedside table. It glared 10 AM in red. He hurriedly got up and looked for his phone. It was buzzing on the floor. He quickly answered the call.

"Yes, Emily" his voice was hoarse as it was still morning. He cleared his throat. The person on the other end took a few seconds to respond.

"Sir, the CFO is unable to connect with you for the 8 AM meeting" Curiosity was evident in her voice. He knew something like this never happened. His wife was driving him crazy indeed.

"I will be there in ten. Postpone the meeting to 1" he ended the call. He sighed and looked down realizing he was naked. He immediately turned to bed which was empty. He donned a bathrobe and walked hurriedly to the end of the corridor. He turned the knob and peered inside. He let out a relieved sigh when he saw her sitting on the bed, lost in her thoughts.

"Missing me?" Henry walked in with a mischievous smile on his face. Ria flinched and covered herself with the duvet. She wore his shirt on a slutty black mesh dress. He sat near her. He could feel her erratic heartbeat. He raised his hand and traced her cheek. Ria shut her eyes tight. He pulled her too close, their noses nearly touching. He kissed her nose and trailed his kisses down her ear. Ria's eyes flooded with tears. Hunger was rising again in him.

"Please, leave me. Please n-" she hicupped. He placed a kiss on her collarbone, sucking it in. He moved away and saw a beautiful hickey on her collarbone. He looked at her brown eyes, they were quietly asking him to leave her. He instantly gathered himself and stood up.

"Don't leave the room Asteria. It was for your safety" he said with a bit of concern and left the room. Ria cried bitterly hugging her legs for comfort.

She stood up and limped to the ugly mirror. She removed his shirt. There were marks on her breasts and thighs. And above all, whenever she moved the pain was killing her. Tears threatened to fall. But She wouldn't cry. She wouldn't be his play toy. She had to prove she was innocent.

When the recollections of the previous night filled her head, she sat back in the chair and closed her eyes.

She waited till he fell into a deep slumber.  took his hand off her which made him hug her even closer. She grabbed the fluffy pillow over her head and placed it in his hands. He hugged the pillow and nuzzled into it. She stood up but sat down quickly. She couldn't walk with this pain but she wouldn't share bed with him. She rose again, clutching the bedside table, and moved further in small steps. She was naked and looked around. Her dress was torn. She picked up his shirt and walked to her room.

The walk to her room was a nightmare but she wanted to bathe, to purify herself. She turned on the faucet, filled the white bathtub, and submerged herself in the hot water. The hot water soothed her nerves and relieved her aches. Tears poured down her face.

"I did not ask for this" she screamed.

"I don't want this," she said, clutching her head in her hands and sobbing her heart out.

The knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. Someone came and placed a tray of food in front of her. Waffles and fruits. Her stomach grumbled at the smell of food. When the maid left, she eagerly began digging in. After yesterday's exhaustion, her body needed it all. She sat on the bed, gazing at the ceiling, imagining how it would be if she were at home. She would begin preparing for her exams. Her friends would ask her mother to send her out for an hour. Her friends. They didn't know she was married. Her two best friends, with whom she shared more than anybody else in her family, had no idea what happened to her. They would kill her when they knew. Would she meet them again? Would Henry let her? Fat chance she concluded.

She sighed. Her father might be terrible, but she married a Devil. She was destined to stay in this awful room forever. Tears streamed down freely. She lay there, counting every inhale and exhale. She wasn't sure when she drifted to sleep.

The sound of a gentle thud awoke her. The room was dim, and she squinted her eyes. She saw a dark shape moving.

"Wh- who is that?" her voice dripped with fear. The lights were switched on and when she realized who it was her fear increased to ten-fold.

"Hello, my love. Your dinner is untouched" Henry frowned at the untouched plate. She couldn't speak a word. Her heart was thumping so fast that she thought it would explode any minute now. Henry stepped closer to her. He unbuttoned the waistcoat and dropped it on the bed frame. He buried his face in her neck. It felt good for him. Ria sat like a statue, too frightened to move. He looked at her face with an unreadable expression.

"Why didn't you eat?" He questioned her in a hurtful tone.

"Why does it matter" Ria surprised at her cheek and quickly closed her eyes. He slid his fingers over her neckline.

"It matters. Aren't you hungry?" he murmured, kissing her hand. Tears pooled in her eyes. She shook her head no. He slowly removed her shirt. Ria's eyes widened as big as saucers. She stared at him with teary eyes. He ignored her.

"Please-"

"It will hurt you if you fight back" he shoved her onto the bed. She lay in the bed too weak to protest. He tore the tiny dress and immediately placed himself into her. The excruciating pain came back and she whimpered. His hands kneaded her soft boobs. She held his arms and hid her face in his shoulder. Henry didn't slow his pace. He was a beast when it came to sex. Her cries filled the room. He bent down and kissed her boobs and ran his tongue around her nipples. But she felt nothing. Henry kissed her roughly when he came. He pulled out quickly making her gasp in pain. He rolled over and left the room without any word.

Ria wailed loudly with no energy to cover herself. Her dress was torn away like she was a whore. She was stripped of her self-respect, she was violated. She was falsely accused. And she realized none would rescue her. She cried herself into the pillow when gentle yet strong hands drew her close.

"It is hurting" she whimpered in his arms

"Shhh It's okay. You won't feel the pain after a while. It's alright" he kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly. She cried, soaking his chest.

And this continued for days.
