Chapter: Chapter 1 - I did it(Becca)Eyes closed, fists clenched, I take a deep breath, the morning sun warming up my face through the bedroom's window. I never wake up early and I never open the curtains. I am usually lingering in bed till late morning, partly hoping that if I stay still, I will stop breathing and it will all be over, partly because of the soreness between my thighs. Every night is a like rape, worse than yesterday and less than tomorrow.

Chapter: Chapter 65 - "I nostri figli hanno besogno di noi, Marce"(Lucas)I blink a few times to regain my vision but soon I realized it was blurred because of the dark. My head is bent low pinned to my chin and a throbbing pain cuts through my left temple but I lift my head up and try to move. Useless. I was restrained to a chair in a dark basement, with my hands at the back and legs tied to the chair's legs.

Chapter: Chapter 3 - He said he will think about it(Lucas)I knew she would ask again. The divorce that is. This was the second time she asked. First time I took my whole wrath of anger on her till she fainted in my arms. And when she did I caressed her for tenth of minutes in a row, tasting her skin and filling my lungs with her smell to last with me till the next time she wouldn't be conscious and I could refill. That night was my torture, my travel to hell and back.
