Elizabeth Blackwell - "I didnt do this, please help me!"

This is a story I wrote. I was inspired sitting in English class and then this story was born. I really don't know if it is HORRIBLE but please leave comments and let me know. This is for my city week project so I would really love some comments.

Here is the synopsis------

There is a woman, a debutante and former socialite. She marries a brooding bachelor for his wealth though she doesn't really need it.
He turns out to be one of the most emotionally ugly men you would ever meet. He beats her and does more than you should know.
She is beaten for not finishing her chores when he returns home from the gentlemen's club and he does the most terrible awful thing you could do to a woman in the 1800's married or not, more awful than you could imagine. The repercussions and are more than she can bare but she has to live on. She writes to her mother and is upset about his actions but before she could post the letter, he found it. He read it with a small smirk on his face. He made her this one promise, “well it was your own fault for not doing what a good and respectable wife does, take care of the damn thing and never ever let me hear you complain or I will make your life a living hell.”

Well, soon after my life was a living hell. He was gone my precious boy, I was the prime suspect and I was sleeping in a cemetery. Living hell doesn't even describe my life.
