So much so that I could die. now and be ok knowing that I gave myself completely to someone ... Some people never experience this in life, â?he said.

"He almost killed me ... not almost, he killed me! It made me totally change as a person. Break me! It will probably be the hardest thing I've ever had in my life. â?
