Chapter 2 The Accident

• " I was hoping I wouldn't have to fuck you up again "
• Bella is stunned at his words, she could feel the dangerous vibes he was given. She quickly distanced herself from him. " You are cheating on me, with my sister!"
• " No " Vaughn says nonchalently " I cheat with other women too "
• " How could you do this to me?!"
• " We've had this conversation countless times before. It's not about you. I want some pussy, and I have enough money to get with whomever I want, so why shouldn't I?"
• " You...You said you loved me "
• " Loved you " He scoffed coldly. Vaughn felt like laughing at the moment, it was ironic the number of time they've gone through this same scenerio. This was why he couldn't stand Bella, because everything about her felt like it was repeated. But he really couldn't blame her, it was because of her mental illness. " I never loved you Isabella, I've only tolerated you this much due to your condition. I can cheat as much as I want, and you would remember non of it "
• Bella felt tears run down her rues, she couldn't believe that the man she loved with all her heart was saying this to her. Perhaps it would have been better if Vaughn had only been cheating on her. Right now he sounded like he hated her very existence.
• Bella ran pass Vaughn and went to her bedroom. She didn't try to leave the house because she knew Vaughn wouldn't let her go. She hurried took out her jot note and scribbled something inside, she then tossed it under her bed. The moment she had done this, the door of the room was pushed open; She had forgot to lock it. Bella wasn't even given the opportunity to try getting away before she was grabbed roughly by her Husband.
• " Vaughn, Please.."
• " I don't fucking have time for this today. I wish you'd just stayed out if my way "
• Vaughn grumbled. He was very irritated by Bella's actions. To him it was like she was prying into his business. He proffered her to be docile, to just stay put and only appear in front of him when he had need for her. Although he didn't want to hit Bella again; he was afraid that someone might start noticing. However he had no choice, he was going to be busy today and he didn't need her interfering in his business.
• " Whatever " He says. Bella feels pain shoot across her forehead as it hits the Cabinet. " Just fucking sleep " Vaughn tosses her on the bed and stalks out of the room. He alerts the Nurse to bandage Bella up and then left for the Company.
• The Nurse hurried upstairs to see Bella laying helplessly on the bed. Her heart moved in empathy for the woman, she carely came to move Bella into a more comfortable position. " Go to sleep, It won't hurt as much "
• Bella looked at the Nurse hesitantly, and she sudden feel a sense of Déjà vu, even though her face was covered in blood from the cut wound on her forehead, and she was feeling very dizzy, Bella still had to ask. " D...Does he always...hurt me?"
• The Nurse gave her a surprised look. In all the years she had been attending to the Madam after Vaughn was through with her, this was the first time Bella had openly asked this million dollar question. The Nurse was very hesitant. She knew that Vaughn McCoy's security was very tight, and there could be cameras in the room. However, she knew it wouldn't matter. Afterall, Bella wouldn't remember anything tomirrow and Vaughn wouldn't give a shit about what she told her.
• " He does. But only when you question him. You should stop, just be contented with the fact that you are his envied wife, the one he comes home to everyday "
• " The one he beats up whenever he wants " Bella says, she doesn't feel sad now, but there was hatred growing steadily in her heart.
• " It's alright " The Nurse told her. She went to tgw bathroom to retrieve the first aid kit she had left there, when she returned, Bella had passed out from the pain. She shook her head in Pity and remorse, if only she didn't need this job to sustain herself, she might have helped Bella escape this abusive relationship.
• Slowly, she cleaned and bandaged Bella's wounds
• * * *
• Bella woke up in pain. She groggily looked around her and found a strange woman sitting beside her. " Good morning Mrs Mcoy "
• " Morning. W..Who are you?"
• " I am Molly, the personal Nurse assigned to you by your husband. You fell down the stairs yesterday and hit your head. Unfortunalesly, Mr Mcoy had a lot of work to do so he couldn't be here "
• " He's always working " Bella said, feeling solemn that Vaughn would choose to work rather than be by her side when she was tired.
• The Nurse gave her a strange look, she hesitated before asking. " Have you...ever considered leaving him?"
• " What? Why would I want to do that?" Bella was taken aback by the question. Vaughn was her life, she'd loved him since they were teens, he had given her no reason to want to leave him. " I love him, I've never considered a divorce before "
• " Maybe you should" Bella heard the woman mumble, when she asked her what she meant by that, Molly gave an excuse and hurried out of the room to prepare her breakfast.
• Bella thought there was something strange about the Nurse. She wouldn't have simply asked her to get a divorce if there wasn't some motive behind it. Was she one of the multiple women who wanted Vaughn? But she didn't seem in anyway malicious towards Bella, it seemed more that she was concerned about her. Whatever.
• She searched for her phone and found it on the cabinet. She was surprised to see the crack on the screen; when had she dropped it? Bella reached for it but clumsily knocked it to the ground. She rolled her eyes at her own silliness and hunched over to pick it up. She noticed the red cover of her personal journal immediately. It was flung under the bed messily.
• " Why is this here?" She asked herself as she picked it up. Bella was never careless with her journal, because it contained a lot of important dates and events she might be attending. She went through the pages and paused when she came upon the one that contained her messy hand writing. Her body went cold as she read through the sentence scribbled on the page.
• ' He's An Abuser. He Cheats. Check The Cameras '
• What? It was clear that she was the one who had written this, but who was she referencing? Who was the abuser? This was something Bella just couldn't ignore. Bella rose to her feet and scurried out of the room. She walked down to the very end of the hallways ontil she got to the security room. Mark, who was the guy that oversaw the security Cameras hadn't come yet, it was still early in rge day.
• Bella hesitantly walked in and went directly for the monitors. She scrolled through vidoes after vidoes of boring everyday activity. She was almost tempted to leave after not finding anything, but that was ontil she came upon the footage of her and Vaughn fighting. At first she thought it was just a minor disagreement. But that was ontil she saw Vaughn grab her by her hair and slam her face on the wall. She saw the half naked woman, Vaughn's assistant who had always been kind to Bella snickering as her injured body was flung to the ground.
• ' The only Good thing about you is, No matter what I do to you, You'll always love me the next day. My perfect Wife '
• Bella buried out of the Security room and went to grab her phone. With shaky hands, she dialled her mother's number. Bella broke into a sob when she heard her Mind voice from the other end of the line. " Mom! Vaughn...he's abusing me. He's the reason I'm always injured "
• " Shh, It's alright Sweetie " Rebecca tried to calm her daughter down. " Vaughn was wrong, I'm sure he knows it, he will appologize to you when he get's the chance. Just don't make a big deal out of it "
• " I...did you not hear the part about him beating me up? I...I think I want to come home. I don't feel safe "
• " You can't. Do you know what people would say if they find out? Vaughn has been very good to us since you married him, he gave your dad a good job, and Jessica is a successful Model now because of his connection "
• " Mom, what are you saying?"
• " I'm saying you should forgive him. He probably didn't mean to hurt him, you must have angered him. How about this, when he comes back go and appologize to him, and pretend you don't know anything. You'll forget all about it tomorrow, so there's nothing to worry about. "
• Bella could hardly believe what her mother was saying. Could it be the woman had been brainwashed by Vaughn? Why else would she advice her own daughter to remain with a man that was violent.
• " Bella?...Hello " Bella cut off the call. She stared down at her phone for a long time wondering who else to call. She didn't have any friends, only her parents, sister and husband. And if even her mom wasn't willing to help her, then no one would. Bella thought about it for a very long time and finally decided that she would have to get away from here first. She grabbed a key to one of the dozens of cars Vaughn had gotten her and left the house.
• " We can drive you to him " Three of Vaughn's men had seen her leave the house and they weren't willing to let her drive off alone. " It's too dangerous to go alone "
• " I'm only going to his office. I just remembered that today was our anniversary, and Vaughn is probably too busy to come home early today. I wanted to surprise him. "
• The men exchanged uncertain looks, then one of them asked her. " Do you Remember how to get to the company?"
• " Of course I do. Don't worry about it "
• They still looked hesitant, but didn't try to stop her as she got into the car and drove off. Bella's heart was beating fast throughout the interaction, she had been afraid they wouldn't let her leave. The moment she was out of the compound, she switched off her phone and took a turn that would lead her to the nearest airport.
• * * *
• Vaughn received a call from one of his men, and it had him leaving his place of work and hurrying back home. He found Molly, the nurse he had employed for Bella tied up and gagged. She had tear stains on her cheeks. " What the fuck did you tell her?" Vaughn growled, the woman shrank back and whimpered in fear
• " The Security footage has been tampered with boss. And we've traced the Mrs location, she's going to the airport."
• " And none of you could stop that bitch from leaving?!"
• " We are sorry. She said she was going to see you boss, we didn't think anything of it "
• " Of course you didn't. Bunch of Idiots! Connect me to her speakers "
• The man hurriedly did as he was told and connected the call with the speaker and Bella's car. He handed the phone to Vaughn. Vaughn took the phone. " Bella, baby, I know you can here me. You need to come back home right now. Whatever the issue is, we can resolve it "
• ' You Bastard. I'm never coming back to you '
• " I'm wrong, I am very sorry, baby. But you need to come back. It's dangerous out there, remember? "
• ' I'm not coming back just so you can take advantage of me again! I don't let you break me again Vaughn. The moment I get away, you can expect the divorce papers emailed to you '
• Vaughn rolled his eyes. So fucking dramatic. " Come on, I didn't hit you that bad "
• ' I hate you Vaughn, you are...' The sound of a collision and the screeching of tires cut Bella short.
• " Baby?" Vaughn frowned at the lack of response " Bella, what's happening? Bella!"
• " Boss! Her car isn't moving anymore "
• " What the fuck does that mean?"
• The man hesitated. " She's been hit. An accident "
• Vaughn's eyes widened, his body went still. " Shit "
