LUCIA

(Vienna, Austria)

My date with Connor was so fantastic that I wouldn’t stop smiling the entire time. He took me to a beautiful restaurant and we ate and talked the entire time.

I got to know more about him, and from the things he said about himself, it was not hard to deduce that he was an extremely wealthy man.

He was the CEO of his own company, and from the car he drove to the clothes he wore and his choice of restaurant, that fact was clear.

But I was not attracted to him because he was wealthy. Hell, I didn’t even know he was wealthy until tonight. There was just something about him that just kept pulling me closer, and I couldn’t fight it no matter how much I tried.

So I just stopped fighting. I gave myself completely to him and just let myself enjoy everything that I felt for him.

I could tell that Connor liked me back, too, because that was not the last time I heard from him. We exchanged calls and texts regularly, and the next time he asked us to hang out, I couldn’t c

    JEREMY My worries for Lucia grew stronger by the day, and anytime I tried to ask her what was going on with her, she would either evade the question or try to distract me using her body.I was ashamed to admit that her seduction tactics always worked on me.Whenever she seduced me, all my rational thoughts flew out the window. She knew that, and it was quite unfortunate that she used that fact to her advantage.She had me wrapped around her fingers, and she knew it. It was safe to say that my efforts to find out what was going were in vain, but I was not going to give up just yet.If she wouldn’t answer my questions, I would just have to figure out another way to find out. I just didn’t know how I would do that yet, and the last thing I wanted to do was stalk her.I didn’t want to make her uncomfortable when she was already in such a frazzled state. I let out a loud sigh, running my fingers through my hair. What the hell was I going to do now?“Dude,” I heard someone call next to me

    JEREMY Although there was a small smile on Lucia’s face, it did not reach her eyes, and that made me worried.It was clear that whatever was going on with her had not been resolved, and it bothered her greatly.I wanted to help. I wanted to do whatever I could to make her happy again. To see her smile genuinely, but I had no clue how to even broach the subject when it was clear that she never wanted to talk about it. I wasted no time making some food for her after I heard her stomach rumble. It was the least I could do for her. We both sat down to eat, and it was obvious that she was pretending to be fine when she clearly was not.My hands clenched by my sides, not because I was angry at her, but at myself. I felt so useless, and it pissed me off so much.After we had eaten, I gestured at her, plastering a small smile on my face. “Come here.” I said, and Lucia returned my smile before making her way over to me.I let her sit on me before placing my arms around her protectively. She

    LUCIA (Present day)Beth looked at me like I had lost my damn mind, and I couldn’t blame her one bit.“You’ll stay here when that psychopath is out on the loose? Are you serious right now? Did you forget what he did to you? You had to come back to America because of him, Lucia! Why are we still even talking when we should be going to the cops right now?!” I let out a loud sigh, running my fingers through my hair in an agitated manner. I would be lying if I said I was not terrified.I was scared out of my mind. Connor was a complete psychopath and now that he had returned, I was not safe.But despite that, I still couldn’t move in with Beth and Micheal. It just was not right. After everything Beth had done for me, she deserved to have her own privacy as a newly wedded woman. I would be better off moving into a new apartment instead. “We can’t go to the cops, Beth.” I answered with a loud sigh.Beth’s expression turned even more agitated. “Why not?” “I already told you, Beth. He is

    LUCIA (Vienna, Austria)The loud and grating sounds of machine beeping invaded my ears as my eyes slowly fluttered open. A low groan escaped my lips as I tried to adjust my heavy lidded eyes to the intense light. The smell of antiseptic was thick in the air, and I could feel my stomach churn at the intensity. “Lucia.” I heard someone gasp, and I blinked as Connor’s face came into view. “Connor?” I rasped, my voice hoarse like I had not spoken in weeks.“What happened? Where am I?” I croaked, my eyes darting around the room in total confusion.“You're in the hospital, darling,” He answered, gently raising my hand and pressing a kiss to it. “Don't you remember what happened?” My eyebrows scrunched up in confusion as I tried to recollect what had happened, but I couldn't no matter how much I tried as my brain was extremely foggy.“Im not sure I remember. What happened? Why am I in the hospital?” I asked, attempting to sit up on the bed.That was a huge mistake on my part, and a loud

    LUCIA (Vienna, Austria)Once Connor found out about my pregnancy, he began treating me well, just like I hoped he would. Things had finally returned back to normal, and I couldn’t be happier about it. Connor finally cared about me again. He showered me with gifts, love, and care on a regular basis to the point where I felt happy and safe with him once again, all awful stuff in the past completely forgotten. Things were finally going well for me. I was so ecstatic about the baby that I brought Connor and I back together, and I was still balancing my school work with the pregnancy.On a fateful weekend, Connor and I were invited to a party, and I was more than excited to go since we would be attending together. I stayed by Connor’s side throughout until he excused himself to go speak to some people. I was alone, but I managed to entertain myself as my eyes darted around, taking in the hustle and bustle in the hall with a small smile on my face.Suddenly, I saw a familiar face appro

    LUCIA (Vienna, Austria)After my date with Connor, I thought things would finally go back to the way they were and that we would stop having problems. I had no idea how wrong I was. That was only the beginning of our problems.Connor’s tempter tantrums became even more frequent and more extreme to the point where he began hitting me.I thought he slapped me across the face the first time only because he was drunk, but when he did it sober, I knew I was so wrong. The hitting started with slaps across the face, then it later turned into full-on beatings that left me battered and bruised. Connor was always very smart about it whenever he hit me. He made sure not to leave bruises on my face or any visible areas of my face, and he would only concentrate on the places that were covered, particularly my ribs. I had suffered multiple ribs, and it was all because of him. I was completely losing my mind, and it was all his fault. I wanted to run far away from him. I couldn’t take all the
