Not his family

Her punishment

*Catalina*

"Rafael please don't". I beg as he drags me upstairs to our bedroom. I already know what will happen and I am close to panicking. "I promise you, nothing has happened. You have no reason to do this".

"You better keep your mouth shut or you just make it worse for yourself. You belong to me and you need to remember that". He says dragging me along the hallway to our bedroom.

I keep my mouth shut. I just have to steal myself and get through this. Nothing I can say or do will change his mind. I can only make it worse for myself by angering him further, so saying nothing is the better option here.

He throws me on the floor as we enter the room. I rub my arm where it is hurting from his grip, and he hisses at me. "Get you clothes of you f*****g w***e".

I hurry to undress, hoping that if I comply it will be less severe and over sooner. Anything to appease the beast. Soon I am standing in front of him naked, awaiting my punishment.

"Lean over the desk my love, and shut up, I don't want to hear your screams". He says, grabbing his riding crop. “Also not to scare the kids”.

I choke back tears, he has done this before and besides being extremely degrading, it hurts so damn much.

But I do as I am told, I do not dare anything else, leaning over the desk, bracing myself against the pain. I still almost scream out in pain when the first strike hits my backside, it burns like hell.

He hits me over and over, while tears stream down my face. The pain is getting excruciating, and in the end I can't help crying out as my backside burns like on fire. Then he finally stops and I hear him open his pants, somagain I find myself bracing against what is to come. I gasp in pain as he thrust into me hard.

My body bangs against the desk as he slams into me over and over. My body is trying to shy away from him, but it isn't possible. He has a hard grip on my hips and all I can do is hope that he finds his release soon and lets me be.

I can't help thinking back to how it was in the beginning. He had been so sweet, romantic and cool, totally sweeping me off my feet.

Then he started getting a bit jealous and possessive, but in the beginning I just felt like he loved me so much and was afraid to lose me. After all, he acted like a lot of men in books and movies, and we are told that is romantic all the time.

After we got Angel, it spiraled out of control and just got worse and worse.

Finally he grunts as he cums, and he releases me. "Remember you are mine Catalina, mine and only mine. I don't want to see you talk to other men like that again".

I just nod, running to the bathroom to clean myself up. If it wasn't for the kids I would be out of here in a flash, but he would never let me leave with the kids, if he would let me leave at all. I am scared of what he might do if I tried.

As I come downstairs my kids come running over, throwing themselves into my arms. Angel saying. "Are you alright mom, did daddy hurt you ?"

"No sweetie, mommy is fine. daddy and I were just talking, nothing to be scared or afraid of". I lie, but I don't want the kids more involved. I don't want them knowing the truth.

I send the kids into their playroom to play. Lucia comes over to me, looking very concerned, she can't help seeing things. So she knows some of the things going on. "Are you okay ma'am ?"

"I am fine Lucia, he wasn't too bad, and please call me Catalina, at least when Rafael isn't here". I tell her with a small smile. I like her, she is kind to the kids and to me.

I pull out the note from my pocket. He has written to call or text him if I need anything; help, someone to talk to or a friend and then his number. It is very nice of him, but Rafael would probably kill me if he found out.

*Zac*

I have just gotten home to my rented apartment, when I get a text from an unknown number.

> Hi Zac, thanks for your help today and I am sorry about the way Rafael acted. Catalina. No problem and his behavior is not for you to apologize for. I hope you are okay ? Zac I am okay now, just wanted to say thanks. I know you must have a lot of more important things to do. Catalina I don’t have anything better, no. I told you that I am here, if you need someone to talk to or a friend, don't hesitate to write or call, okay ? Thank you so much, you're a truly a good man, I don't know what to say, Catalina Thank you, but it is nothing more than most people would do. Just know I am here if you need someone. Zac <

I put down my phone. I have had this bad feeling all day. I really don't like her husband, and I rarely judge people this fast, but I actually fear for her safety with that man.

I just hope that she actually dares to contact me if she needs help. I will be there if she does, telling myself that it is only because no one should be treated that way and for the kids sake, it has nothing to do with her beauty and that pull I felt when she smiled at me, that is just ridiculous anyway.
