Until Tomorrow

Prologue

"My best dreams and worst nightmares have the same people in them."

I froze as his metal like fingers curled around my neck, threatening to block my air supply. I locked my eyes with his dark ones, pleading to let me go.

'You are pathetic! Weak and disgusting.' He spat at me. 'You need to learn that I am the center of your universe and you do everything for only me, not to please others or yourself. To please me!'

The pressure on my throat gradually increased.

'Please...' I croaked helplessly as tears brimmed on the edge of my eyes.

'That's right, that is exactly what you deserve, to beg. To beg for my mercy! You are inferior to me and you need to learn that.'

I felt sick at his words. I couldn't believe that I once loved this man. But now I wasn't sure if I could even recognize him. He was someone else entirely. Before I could register what was happening, he thrashed my body into the wall behind me. The impact knocked the air out of my lungs as I slumped onto the ground in a crumpled mess. I was aching all over. Tears streamed down my cheeks. I just hoped that today my torture would end soon.

He walked over to where I lay and crouched down to meet my eyes.

'Oh, just look at you!' He exclaimed as he dragged a finger along my cheekbone, digging into my skin. I quickly jerked away from his touch, disgusted by the feeling of him touching me.

I perched myself on my elbow so I could raise myself from the ground. I glared into his dark eyes.

'I can't believe that I once loved a man like you.' I spat at him.

His face transformed into a menacing scowl, his eyes burnt with fury.

'How dare you?!' He yelled as he stood up. He took a step back before launching a painful kick to my abdomen. Pain erupted in my stomach. He clutched my jaw and lifted my head inches above the ground. He took a minute to study my tear streaked face before smirking to himself, as he slammed my head against the cold marble floor. My vision darkened. I could feel blood soaking my hair as I lay numb on the ground. I saw him walk out of the room, not sparing me another glance.

Before I succumbed into darkness only one thought reverberated in my head. I was sick and tired of being played with. Now I wasn't just going to let him sit back and enjoy the show. I had to come up with a master plan in order to dig my way back to freedom. He left me with no choice and now I wasn't going to stop fighting.

Come what may!
