Loving Him
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. "I do not care what is on the papers, but you are not my wife and you are not to call me Adam. You are a slave under this household. You have no privileges and no choice here." 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.

Marriage?
"huh...? what happened?" I spoke as he detached himself from me and suddenly just got up from the bed. He stood there for a second and ate up the space between him and the door with long strides. Seeing this, I got up as well. "Calvin, what's going on?" I asked, my tone firm. He stopped and looked at me - his eyes flashing regret and sorrow. "Bella...I'm sorry that I lost control over myself..." my eyes widened, "forget that all this ever happened." he went to leave, "Calvin! please! stop lying to yourself!!"
