Rose's POV...

My name is Rose Richards wife of Keith Richards a prominent business man, to many I am called the trophy wife and Keith Richards eye candy and I have lived up to that name day after day

Smiling and waving by his side at big events but no one knew what is behind those perfect smile and expensive looks was a miserable woman

They said money is the answer to all things but why haven't it given me the one thing I so hoped for

Peace...

I could shout to the rooftop , telling everyone about how miserable my life is but no one would believe me because I am

Rose Richards , wife of Keith Richards

Every women out there wants to be in my shoes because they all see the outward appearance and not the real misery

"You won't believe me until I tell you the whole story

So this is my life....

........................................................

"Don't you dare run away from me, " I heard him scream as I ran swiftly up the stairs as fast as my legs could carry me

With my heart screaming to me not to stop for the fear that I wouldn't see another day if I did

As I hide in the attic, my heart beating out of control , I internally prayed to the heavens that he won't find me here

But the universe was definitely not aligned in my favour

"Bang..... Bang

I suddenly heard a loud sound coming from the door, making me shiver in an uncontrollable fear as tears rolled down my eyes none stop

Roses! He screamed my name from the other end of the door, threatening to break it down

"Rose, I know you are in there, open the door sweetie I just want to talk, " He said quite calmly with a hint of anger in his voice as he continued to slam on the door

Terrified to my bones, I needed to find a way out of here, needed a place to hide from this monster

I look around eager to find an escape but there was none, so I screamed at the top of my lungs for someone to help me

Help me.... Someone help me ," I screamed hoping that someone would hear me

I continued to scream endlessly , my voice slowly becoming hoarse as I prayed to the universe to save me ,but the realization dawned on me soon enough, that no matter how much I tried no one was coming to my aid because Keith owns every one around me

Still drowning in my own pool of despair and anguish, the door busted open allowing the devil in, with that same look of satisfaction in his eyes , a smirk came to play so casually onto his face, whilst he made his way to me

"Baby..... Do you think you can hide from me, " he asked mocking me with each words he made

"Keith please let me go,"I begged him as tears flowed down my eyes just like a river

Laughing at the top of his lung, he soon grabbed me by the arm digging his fingers dip into my skin pulling me onto his chest

"Please.... Keith, you are hurting me ," I cried out struggling to set myself free from him

Remember Rose you are my wife, so you are my property to use as I please, " He said smacking me to the floor as he hovered over me looking at me with disdain

"Don't you know, you have been a naughty little girl, so I'm going to teach you a lesson to always obey me, " He said smirking bringing out his belt, sending strokes after strokes onto my skin

No please Keith stop......" I screamed over and over in an intractable pain as I begged him to set me free

"Shut the fuck up!" He screamed as a smile crept onto his face...

He was clearly enjoying watching my suffer

"You know baby, you look even sexier with the way you scream my name and I'm going to make you scream my name even more, " he said as he tied me up to the beam with the belt he had in his hand, ripping off my clothes hysterically as I stood there exposed in front of him

Keith, please don't do this, " I begged him but all my pled fall on deaf ears ,as he hits me even harder shutting me up

"I own you, Rose , remember that," he said as he thrust his length into me over and over again, engulfing me with every movement his body made on mine

Reaching his peak, he left me there vulnerable and in the dark , the silence and despair became my new home as I could barely move or breathe, with the tears from my eyes and the blood from my skin soaked me as I shivered in pain

I allowed the pain and sorrow take me on an endless journey, as I wondered how the hell I got to this point

To a point where life meant nothing to me anymore, and all I see were sorrow and pain which has become like a second skin to me, a skin I could easily put on effortlessly

This brought me to the realization that I couldn't live like this anymore, I couldn't continue to mask the pain and sorrow I was passing through each day

I had become a shadow of myself, and the light in my life has been dimmed for a long time

8 years...

8 years of marks, I desperately tried to cover from the world

8 years of lies, I kept telling myself trying to justify his actions, trying to be the perfect wife to please him

8 years of scars ,he tortured me with both physically and mentally, he broke me completely making me feel I deserved all the hurt and pain he inflicted

8 years of watching the man I once loved turn into a monster, I now hate

8 years of me not knowing if maybe the next day would be my last

Keith was never always like this, although rich and influential, he was gentle, kind and caring, a loving man who always took care of me and supported me with everything, but it all changed two years after our marriage, and I began to see the monster behind the mask

As my love for him gradually turned into hate, the hate that threatens day and night to consume me

Constantly fighting a battle within me, trying my best not to allow the hate and darkness within me win, struggling not to allow the hate that rises day by day to consume me

Striving not to allow it to take the little part of me I had left

But that part of me, that tiny part of me that still had a little hope , of getting my husband back , unfortunately I lost that night

As weak and terrified as I was, I knew I had to make a change once and for all, knowing I had to leave because of the uncertainty of not knowing if tomorrow would be my last

So I called up the only person that could help me escape this nightmare that was now my life

Hey, it's me... I need your help...

"I think I'm ready to be set free," I said with my heart thumping in uncertainty
