Chapter 1
Willow
Mama always said i was too kind for my own good. If you give people an inch they'll take a mile. I tried to see the good in everyone, that even though people had flaws, it didnt mean they were bad people. But that all changed after i met him.
I was eighteen, just graduated highschool, working at the local diner. James came in one early morning, dressed in a crisp suit, blond hair slicked back, shiny shoes on his feet. His whole outfit probably cost more than i make in a month. He had a charming smile and said all the right things.
I was nothing special, i was petite, just over 5'2". I have long wavy brown hair and blue/green eyes. James was just under six feet. Maybe around 5'10". But with my short frame, everyone was a giant.
He came in everyday for a week after that. Then he asked me out to dinner. He took me to some high end restaurant. It was absolutely beautiful, I'd only ever seen places like that in movies. I wore a little black dress that i bought 5 years prior at the thrift store, and cute little platform heels.
During dinner he told me about the business he will be taking over for his father. How many clients hes brought on since he started. Said that at just 25 he was the youngest, most successful person in the company. After dinner we took a walk. He told me about his goals, and aspirations.
After that night we were together all the time. I moved in with him five months later. The apartment was beautiful. It was spacious and had big windows that overlook the city. Dark appliances, high end finishings, things that my modern upbringing never saw.
I found out i was pregnant with twins a year after we met. I was so excited, i always dreamed of getting married and being a mom. James didnt share in my enthusiasm. I just chalked it up to work stress. James never came with me to any prenatal appointments, something always came up. But i made sure to post the sonograms on the refrigerator for him to see when he got home. He never commented on them.
At the ultrasound to determine the sex of the babies, I asked him to come. But he said he had a very important meeting and couldnt go. The technician was so kind and and helped me come up with the idea for a surprise for him when he got home. I went to the bakery down the street and got a small cake, and had them put pink sprinkles inside, so when you cut into it they would fall out. I was so excited!
That night after dinner was served and the kitchen was cleaned, i told James i had a surprise for him. I brought out the cake and set it infront of him at the dining table.
"Whats this?" He asked
"Just a little something for you" I couldnt stop smiling, I was so excited. James cut into the cake, and the sprinkles fell out. He didnt say anything. Just stared at the cake. He slowly looked up, without an ounce of excitement on his face.
"What is this?" "I work all fucking day busting my ass, just to come home to a cheap dinner and a fucking cake!" All I wanted was to come home, have a decent meal, and slide my dick into your fucking pussy!"
He was standing up now walking towards me.
"Im sorry, I I I thought you'd be excited"
"EXCITED"!!!!!! WHY THE FUCK WOULD I BE EXCITED. I NEVER WANTED FUCKING KIDS! I NEVER WANTED A FUCKING WIFE! I JUST WANTED A BITCH TO COME HOME TO EVERYNIGHT, AND FUCK WHENEVER I WANT!!!"
He raised his hand and slapped me so hard I fell into the dining table. Then he was on me, dragging me to the bedroom. He threw me onto the bed, and was on me in seconds.
The sound of melodys cries pulled me from my flashback. She must be hungry, and they both need to be changed. I looked off to the side of the highway, to see where i was. An exit was coming up for a town called Crested Butte.
"Hmm sounds like a nice place"
