He turned me into someone i had never wanted to be. Our wedding night, we both exchanged our vows. Agreeing that we'd live by honesty and get through it one step at a time. My husband, was a peculiar creature. The way his smooth black hair would run down to his jawline, flicking out at the side, his fringe hiding his beautiful emerald green eyes. He'd never be afraid to say anything, always open, that's what we agreed anyway. No lies, no problems. But he'd changed me in a way I'd never wanted.
