Chapter 3 Excerpt:

Sadie lay motionless in the hospital bed as doctors ran tests on her.   Her body was  covered in bruises and all the necessary precautions  were being taken  to determine if she had any internal bleeding.   The room where she layed was quiet and it was when she  and  began to dream.    “Sadie why are you acting up and why are you trembling, “Please let me help       you”! “ Stay away from me Dante or I swear I will kill you”!    “No! Please stop stop!  She said loudly.    “Help me! somebody help me”!   As Detective Scalia made her way into question the attending Doctor for Ms.  Carlyle ,  she got the call from the lab, which confirmed that Dante Carlyle had been shot multiple  times.   The first blow came to the head and the next to his abdomen.   The gun in  question was a 9 mm that was found in the outside pool.   

excerpt : Battered Mind Prologue

Sadie sat on her hospital bed wondering how she got there.   She looked  all around the large room, and began to place her arm on the cold metal brass of the  bed.   She noticed how the nurses would come in and out the door.  As she layed,  there quietly, her heart began to race rather rapidly.  It only took a few minutes before  all that had transpired the night before came back to her.   Suddenly, she began to  scream very loudly.    The loud screams overwhelmed the entire floor.   It did not take very long for the  hospital staff to come into her room.  As they tried to calm Sadie down, she tried to  get away by kicking and trying to bite the nurses in the room.  After a period of what seemed forever, a male nurse came in and gave her a sedative to  calm her down.    Sadie again seemed like she was in another world.  She could not  grasp what was happening to her.    It all appeared so confusing and she felt as if  she was in a daze

Excerpt of Battered Mind Chapter 1

Sadie Carlyle awoke in a state of despair when she finally opened her eyes, and noticed that  she was lying in what appeared to be a large hospital bed.   Then,  she immediately began  screaming very loudly.  She was so out of control that a strong sedative was required to calm her  down.   Her long red hair looked so dry, as the sedative took immediate effect.  It was not very  long before her greenish eyes began to close again, her skin looked so pale as the nurse applied  a soft pillow under her neck.   This had been an intense few days for Sadie.   Her emotions    were running so high that you could see the puffiness in her swollen eyes from all the non-stop  crying.   It was so hard to believe that Sadie was once a very attractive green eyed  red head that captivated a room with her profound beauty.  After a few minutes the nurse noticed  that Sadie was bleeding from her nose.   As this was going on, the nurse quickly called the  doctor .

The room was pitched dark, and you could hear the phone ringing very loudly.    However, there was no answer that night of May 27, 2009 at the Carlyle residence.     This is when the neighbor retired Nurse  Agatha Lane called the authorities.   Ms. Lane  lived alone and never married and took a liking to the Carlyle’s.  Sadie and Ms. Lane   became instant friends and she also extended her help to them when they needed care  for their daughter.  In her frantic call she just said she had heard a gunshot and believed  some intruders had broken into the home.  This is when the authorities were alerted and  they went straight to the scene of the crime.  The large Mansion  was located in North  Raleigh.  This was a very private and secluded area.  Both  Dante and Sadie  were part  of a very wealthy class with both of them belonging to families that had inherited  millions.  Dante’s father Douglas was a very wealthy financial investor in the Nort
