BELLA—

Tracing my fingertips over the 'C' that had damaged my skin permanently, my eyes on my collarbone. I knew that he was gone now, that I was safe but I could still feel his hands roaming around my body as he possessed my soul. He was like a ghost, even now that I was free of him, I could feel him lurking in the shadows.

Finally finding the courage to take a look at my back, I opened my eyes and scanned every whip mark that had indented my skin. Vivid images of him mercilessly whipping into my body as I lay on the floor with my guts in my mouth, approached me. A single tear slipped free and I wiped it away. I wasn't going to cry. Being weak wasn't an option. Not today.
