He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me. He loves me not. But I love him. "Adam squatted so that he was eye to eye with me and he harshly grabbed my chin and forced me to raise my head and meet his eyes.

Adam said coldly as he tightened his grip on my chin. I felt tears threatening to fall from my eyes and fall they did. "Understand?" He growled as he dug his fingers into my skin. I was sure there would be bruises tomorrow morning and a shiver travelled down my body at that thought. I nodded fearfully as my chin trembled. "Leave at once with all your things. You do not sleep in my bed no longer. The basement is your place now."" This is a story of Belle Kimberly.

But little did she know that Adam had an abusive streak. No, this story does NOT condone abuse at all. But I will be showing the reality of abuse and why some people do not get help.

[Edited] "You had to be extremely low on cash to wank into a cup for it," Dani sneered, feeling like a vindictive bully in a playground. But Carlo deserved it. She felt the first sharp stab of fear that went through her heart when Carlo looked at her with thunder in his eyes. "What are you going to do now? Kill me?" she continued. Fingering the 9mm in her back pocket, she remembered that she'd never even shot the damn thing, despite her brothers' pleas to teach her. Carlo's shadow blanketed her. "Kill you?" His brow furrowed. "Do you really think that lowly of me, cara? I'm wounded." "Then what the hell do you want?" His face flashed with a look she barely recognised - pure arousal. Even when he reached out and pulled her to him, she could feel it. "I realised that the mother of my child is more of a spitfire than I thought." His lips brushed her earlobe. "Call me a pyromaniac." *cover by @bullethood*

This wasn't the first time, no. This had happened many times and once push came to shove, he found most people were all talk. Especially women. They were always all talk. He glanced back behind him, the FBI agent casually leaning against the wall under the camera with one leg bent, his shoe placed flush against the wall with both hands in his pocket. Waiting. Patiently waiting for the officer to get down to business. "You're willing to testify to these accounts?" She licked her coral painted lips nervously. For a brief moment she thought of Salvatore and everything he had done for her. All the things he had promised her. All the moments they shared together. her eyes travelling from the officer, to the FBI agent and then to up to the camera. "Yes. I'll do whatever you need me to do." _______________✏
