After a long period of therapy, Ms Rachel Lim En Hui, 28, is still haunted by memories of a night three years ago - when her doctor boyfriend bashed parts of her face in after she refused to have sex with him after a night of merrymaking.
What has also remained with her till today is that she had stayed with him despite two previous assault attempts.
