Oppressed Wife's Runaway

“I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride!”

The moment I closed my eyes for that first kiss, I suddenly remembered how I fantasized about marrying Lucas Sandoval. I recalled when I aimed to have a complete and a happy family and how willing I am to spend a lifetime with him.

I felt a tear fell from my eyes as I felt his lips against mine, as I have realized that I just rather want to die right now in front of everyone than to live with him.

Before, I was dying just to be with him. Now, I am literally dying for being with him.

I dreamt about walking down the aisle to be with my love. Now, I just want to run away from him and never come back.

I once prayed to be part of his life.

Now I am— his battered wife.
