you hadn’t slept for weeks. And if you had, you would wake up screaming, gasping and crying. You thought your arranged marriage to William will change things, it had for the most part.

your father couldn’t abuse or hit you, mainly because he didn’t want William seeing bruises.

that had stopped about 2 weeks before the wedding, but it didn’t stopped him from mentally abusing you. He’d call you every name in the book, tell you to stop eating, and that you were worthless.

you now were laying in bed, sweating from another night of nightmares. William was never home, and you were glad. He would think you went crazy if he heard you scream and cry. He worked mostly at night and was distant and cold, he’d rarely talk to you in public if it wasn’t for your family and his meetings.

you wanted to sleep, but couldn’t. Every time you closed your eyes, you were in that house with your father.

all you wanted was for that to stop. You were so tired.
