Hidden Fear

It wasn't the first time Jenny and Mark had been awakened in the middle of the night, by their neighbor from across the street pounding on their front door. Vicki Foster was one of Jenny's closest friends. And she was an abused wife. Before Vicki and Michael were married, Michael's possessive side had began to show a great deal, but by that time Vicki had been so deeply in love with him that it hadn't mattered to her. He loved her and that was all she had cared about. The night he asked her to marry him had been the happiest night of her life. But two days after they were wed the hitting began. Michael would fly off the handle for absolutely no reason. Over time, the beating had become more terrible and more frequent. He threatened to kill her if she ever left him. Now she had taken that chance. She had left him. But had she made the right decision?
