Sorry in advance for the violence in this chapter :(

--- 6 months later ---
Charlotte's Pov:
"What are you doing in there?" Landon ask me as soon as he see me laying in our bed because I'm having horrible cramps.
I groaned "I'm sick, Landon"
I heard him scoff "Yeah? Well... I'm hungry woman, so make yourself useful and cook breakfast for me" He said then abruptly left like he didn't care what I had just said about my health.
I tried to hold my tears and push my body off to get up from my bed and made the fuckin' breakfast.
I flinched before gasp loudly when I try to move my body because it really hurt.
Slowly, I walk into the kitchen and try to cook something easy because I know my body will start become weaker and it will hard for me to do something for him.
Landon came in just as I was finishing my omelets and coffee, quickly I pour the coffee in his cup at the same time he sat on the chair.
"If your father would just give you the money, then I wouldn't need to do this stupid work" He grunts as he took the glass from me.
I sigh "Landon, you know because we ran away without his approval of our relationship means he WON'T give me or us anything" I explain lamely for a thousand times, too tired to be listening to his complaints about our condition yet again.
He is always complaining about his job and he thought that I had such a big amount of money to cover our life but he was wrong. I had nothing and I can't ask my family for money either.
No, I can't let them know what's happening with me, I would be so ashamed and embarrassed if I just come and ask them for money.
We moved from Canada to New Jersey because he thought that someone was watching us and he was afraid that it's one of my father's men.
Father...
How stupid I feel for not listening to his warnings about Landon from the beginning.
1 month after us getting married he starts talking about my father's money and mine, how he didn't need to works if I get the money from my father.
Then he starts drinking with his friends and comes home late or don't bother coming at all, but always gets angry when I ask of his whereabouts.
He wouldn't allow me to get work, because I haven't graduated yet and no one will hire a spoilt woman like me who never got her hands dirty.
Sometimes he forces me to please him and he gets rough when we're having s*x, which makes me sore and numb which make me always silently crying after he's satisfied, never thought that I'll be living like this.
He forbade me for contacting my family, because apparently it's their fault that we are living this unfortunate life.
He also blames me for this unfortunate life.
I never thought that he was only with me for my money and not loving me.
How can I be this stupid and not see this coming?
I dropped out of school in France for him.
I also fought against my own family for him.
And now, I think this is karma for what I did...
I deserve this...
*****************
"What?" I choked on my drink when I heard what he said.
Landon sighed and shook his head like he's talking to a child not a woman "Are you deaf?" I flinched a little when I heard him raise his voice "Tomorrow we're having a barbecue party with some of my colleagues and I don't want you using you name Charlotte but instead you answer to your middle name Bellisima or Bella for shorter" He spat.
I frown "But why can't you say that my name is Charlotte?" I ask confused with his request.
His fist hit the table which made me shut my mouth immediately.
"I said you're Bella and that means your Bella, now stop asking" He shouts angrily "Don't speak again or else" He gets up from his seat and leaves me trembling in my own fear for him while trying to hold my tears.
Why is he acting like this to me?
Bella...?
It's my grandmother's name and hearing her name make me miss my family back in Italy.
Oh God, what happen to Landon?
Why did he suddenly change into this scary and bad man for no apparent reason?
*****************
BLAAMM....!!
I gasp and quickly get out of my bed when I heard the front door getting slammed.
I sighed when I saw that it was Landon.
But, wait...
"Landon? Why are you here? Shouldn't you be working by now?" I ask and slowly walk to his direction.
SMACK....
I gasp when I feel Landon hand connects with my check, he hit me with such force that I slammed into the wall beside me and fall to the floor. Quickly I touch my cheek and look up to see his angry face.
"LOOK AT THIS!!" He roars in my face waving a letter in his hand.
A letter..?
What's in the letter?
"W... Wh... What is that?" I slowly ask afraid of his reply.
"This letter is coming from your stupid father" He spat while throwing the letter at my head so I could see it. I pick it up before reading it slowly.
##
'Hey, Princess...
I was so happy when I received your letter telling me that you're happy with the man you choose, but honestly, I was shocked when I read that you want money from me.
You already knew the consequences when you planned to run away with him one being that I won't give you a cent as long as your still with him but then to find out that you dropped out with your school and dropped everything your mother and I gave you made it worse. You know how disappointed I am by knowing that you are capable of doing all of this but you always will be my princess and you will receive everything you want from me when you leave him and come back home.
He's not good enough for you, princess, and I know you deserve to have a better man.
Love,
Your Father and Brother

I raised my head and look at Landon indisbelief.
"You sent him a letter using my name?" I gasp and he just rolls his eyes before walk out and taking a seat in the living room, turning on the TV.
I take the remote from him and turn it back off.
"Why did you do that?" He said and I didn't answer him because I was the one that needed answers.
He glared at me and I gulped when I realized that I made yet another mistake when I felt him pull on my hair before he spoke in my face "I take care of you... I allow you to sleep in my bed... You're living in my house and what did you give me? NOTHING.. NOTHING, b***h!!!" He roars and then pushes me down on the floor.
I sobbed and couldn't hold my tears anymore "You said you loved me, Landon" I whispered but I know he can hear me.
He takes my chin and forces me to look at him "I do love you, baby" He mocks me then smirks "When I found out that you are the daughter of Aiden Brancaccio, not this spoil and useless woman" I gasp while crying when I heard his cruel words.
He releases my face and I fall back on the floor crying even more, while he takes the remote from my hand and continues to watch TV.
Who is this man?
He is not the Landon I love....
*****************
"You know I have great idea" Suddenly Landon comes to my room at the same time I just finished my duty in the kitchen and doing laundry.
I raise my head and sit on my bed, waiting for 'the great idea' he mention.
"What idea?" I ask dryly.
He smirked and then I gasp as he walks closer to me with lust in his eyes.
No... No...
He stops in front of me "What if we gave your parents a grandson, then they must give us money for our child" He whispers in my ears and that makes me jump back and push away from him.
"Don't you dare!!" I start shrieking and he looks shock for a moment.
Silence...
"YOU ARE MY WIFE!" He shouts and takes my hand roughly before pushing me down on my bed and squashes me with his big body.
"NO... PLEASE NOOOOO!!!" I scream as he tore my clothes and then removes his own.
"Shut up" He hit my face and shut me up when he start touching me and opening my legs so he can do what he wants with me.
I whimpered when I feel his hard member push inside me roughly and the pain is worse because I am dry while having him inside me.
I close my eyes and just wait for him to finish, because I know crying won't make him stop so I don't bother crying out loud but my tears keep falling on my cheek.
I feel hurt and ashame...
"Aaahhhh..." I shout disgusted when I heard his satisfied groan and I could feel Landon seed shooting inside me.
He releases me and quickly takes his clothes before walking out of my room, leaving me alone to crying silently when I remember what he just did to me.
No...
I won't let him win...
I take the pill after s*x and then drink it along with my contraceptive pill; hoping that Landon won't find out that I'm still taking the pill to make myself won't pregnant with his child.
I won't make myself pregnant...
I won't let my child have a father like him...
I won't let him win!!
*****************************
When Landon walks in to the kitchen, I suddenly feel nervous.
"You know, Bella, I was thinking and wondering..." He started calling me Bella and I know from his eyes, anything he wants to talk about is not a good subject.
Oh s**t, what now? I thought in fear.
I gulp while starting feeling more nervous than before "What is it, Landon?"
He leans on the dining table and crossing his arm "It's almost been a month and we're regularly having s*x, but...." Trembling, I squeeze my hand and hoping that he didn't find out about the pills "how can you still not be pregnant?"
He slowly walks to where I am standing.
"I... I don't know, Landon" I speak nervously and pray that he won't hit me again or worse, push himself on me again.
He smile and I know that he's going to force me again.
"Or we can try harder" I closed my eyes when I heard his word, because I know I can't do anything to stop him now. If I say no, he's going to hit me and make me sore and in pain with his rough s*x so I better shut my mouth.
"I... I am not..." I try to find some reasons but he already has my hand and pulling me so I am sitting on the dining table as he stood in front of me. I can feel he's already hard and see the lust in his eyes. "No... Please don't Landon" I quickly close my mouth when I realize that I spoke without thinking.
SHIT!!
Landon stop moving and looking at me with angry eyes, Oh No.
"Why should I stop? And everytime I want to having s*x with my own wife, why you always say no?" He demand answers and I start crying when he suddenly slaps me across the face and grabs my hair so he can start kissing my neck.
I feel disgust again when his mouth touches my body.
When he starts opening my buttons I push his hands away "Nooo..." and that's was another mistake I now have to pay for.
He quickly tore my clothes when he's start talking "Don't say 'no' to me, I am your husband and I can do anything to you" He squeeze my breast really hard which causes me to scream and then without another word he slaps me and push me roughly that it feels like I've been stab down there with a knife.
Oh God, please make him quick....
Help me....
