Answer:

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Sister how can you accept a secret marriage wherein his people don't know about you. A marriage in secret is no marriage at all. Only illegal relationships are secret. A marriage is a legal bond which is honorable.
 
You have put yourself in this situation, wherein you have allowed this man to use you and now that he is fed up with you he is misusing you to get rid of you. Even if you disclose your relationship to his people, they will disown you completely as you are not even from their race.
 
If you have a marriage certificate, then you can approach the authorities and maybe get some compensation. We don't see him accommodating you in his life and home. You have no one to blame but yourself.
 
Sister the best way for you is to see if he has any shame and fear of Allah swt. Get him to come to your place and ask him to be fair and seek an amicable solution by which both of you will be happy. The only thing a normal Arab will be afraid of is, his relations with Allah swt.. Remind him that you are married to him and that he is responsible for your upkeep. Ask him how he will face his Lord on the Day of Judgement. Maybe he will soften up and treat you justly.
 
The other way is if you know his family or friends, speak to them to intervene and do justice. If all else fails report him to the authorities. He will be exposed and maybe you will receive justice.
May Allah swt make your trials easy.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
