My untold secret

"It hurts, I promise to never disobey you again, please forgive me", those are the words I have repeated my whole life. Anne Grey the name I have bared my whole life, the name that was so sweet when it was called by him, Andrew the man who turned my once beautiful life to my worst nightmare. It all started during my university days, I was the belle of the school and according to most people the purest flower. I was popular for my grades and pure nature, until one day I suddenly met the bad boy of the school, I don't even know what got into me but I suddenly started feeling a strong attraction to him.After a while of us going on dates and hanging out ,he then asked me to be his girlfriend of course I agreed, why wouldn't I.We were two complete opposites, he was the bad boy while I was the innocent girl.We were the perfect couple in school at least that was what people thought not knowing what a monster he was underneath that facade. Sometimes he would hit me or insult me for the slightest of things, I always thought it was my fault when he did these things so I don't complain he eventually apologises to me and I always forgave me, well who could blame me I was blinded by my love for him. There where times he hit me to the point that it formed a bruise but I was covered it up with makeup. We dated for about three years, during the third year of our relationship he promised that he won't hit or insult me anymore and he kept to his promise and never hit me ever again.I thought he had changed so when he finally proposed to me I said yes not knowing he hadn't changed at all.By the time we were done with university I had met his parents and they were so nice to me.I formally introduced Andrew to my parents and they loved him of course I did not tell them about the beatings and insults. We had the a sunset wedding at the beach, it was such a lovely and heartwarming ceremony and my then best friend Stella was my maid of honour, the funniest part was when I threw the bouquet and she caught it along with the guy she always had a crush on Luke. When the ceremony was over my husband and I bade farewell to all the guests who came for the wedding. When we where done my husband ordered an uber to take us to the airport for our honeymoon trip, luckily all our bags had been packed the night before.We flew first class to France for our honeymoon which lasted for a month.When we got back that is when I started seeing a different side of my husband which I wish I never experienced.He first made cut all connections with my friends and family, he then moved us to a different house in a secluded area.All of a sudden the beatings and insults started again but only that this time it was ten times worse.He hit me for the slightest of things like if I mistakenly drooped something on the floor or I forgot to do the dishes or something.After that he started treating me more like a maid than a wife.I barely ever went out of the house unless to get groceries, the rest of the time I was busy cleaning, arranging or washing clothes or dishes
