Glimmer of Hope

Chapter 7

Short chapter guys sorry! This chapter may have triggers for some readers.

Night fell quickly and as Sarah's eyes became heavy she closed her book and settled down in the bed for sleep. What an exhausting day it had been for her. Her body almost thanked her for lying down for the night. She found herself allowing her mind to think of her possible new future. "Soon..." she thought "...soon you will have a new life, a new hope." Her thoughts were  interrupted by Mark climbing into the bed next to her. He rolled over and began kissing her ear, her neck, her shoulder. Sarah tried to move away, but couldn't get far enough.

"Mark please, not tonight, I am exhausted." Mark would not stop and whispered in her ear. "Now here I thought you were learning who was boss in my house!"

"Of course I know who Mark, I am just really tired..." she looked at him and she knew he could see the fear in her eyes, prompting him to kiss her hard on lips. His hands were all over her. He used his knee to eagerly part her legs. She managed to pull her mouth from his and began to struggle harder with him. "Mark, please don't do this...please.." she begged him with tears forming in her eyes.

"Do what? I just want to make a little love to my wife huh? You know I love you." He moved on top of her and ripped her panties from her body. Sarah was sobbing harder, just wishing it was all over. 

"Please don't fight it Sarah, this can be fulfilling for both of us, it doesn't have to be this way." he told her as he kissed her neck greedily.

Sarah felt a well of hate build up inside her, she felt the old tired, worn, Sarah leave her body while hanging on to the hope that her long nightmare would end. "I don't want you!" She yelled at him. "Do you understand that! You make me sick Mark, literally sick!" Just then she felt the blow to her face once again. Silently and slowly her head swam and her body was swallowed up in complete darkness.
