Chapter 2: Escape Plan
As I wiped the tears from my face, I tried to pull myself together and put on a fake smile while looking at my reflection in the mirror.
I couldn't stay in the bathroom for too long; they might find it odd.
Even though it's our own house, I always have to adjust whenever William is around.
He's like some VIP guest to my parents, and if I upset him, I'll be in trouble.
As I stepped outside the bathroom, I was taken aback to find myself face to face with my father's most trusted man.
The sight of him surprised me, and I quickly tried to hide any signs of tears that might betray my emotions.
Logan
You cried again, miss.
Dammit! I hadn't intended for him to witness my moment of vulnerability.
I knew he would probably inform my father, and I didn't want him to think I was hesitant about marrying William. I just needed some space to sort out my emotions.
Logan
Don't worry, miss. I won't tell your dad.
Hell, he can even read my mind?
Logan
Would you like me to escort you?
I'm determined to reject him due to his connection to dad, but let's be honest, this devilishly handsome man still has an effect on me.
He's literally the first person I've ever had a crush on. I mean, just look at him! He's incredibly hot, sexy, and ridiculously good-looking.
He's the type of guy who can make you stop dead in your tracks and leave you utterly stunned. He's just that stunning.
Sadly, he's not my type, though.
Rebecca
As much as I'd love to, I don't want my father scolding me for having such a handsome man by my side in front of my fiancé.
Logan
If that's what you wish, then I won't insist it any further.
Mr. Richard Salazar
Oh, there she is.
Mr. Richard Salazar
Come and sit down; We've got something to tell you.
I was confused. Had they been discussing something while I was away?
Mr. Richard Salazar
We all have been thinking about this plan for quite some time now, and since you're old enough to take care of yourself.
Mr. Richard Salazar
We've decided you two should live together from now on.
I couldn't believe my ears when my father dropped that bombshell.
Rebecca
What do you mean, Dad?
Mr. Richard Salazar
What I mean is, you two be living under the same roof starting today.
Seriously? We're not even married yet, and they're already shipping me off to him?
Did they even think about what he might do to me in his place? Or maybe they just couldn't wait to get rid of me. Unbelievable!
Rebecca
Mom, did you agree to this too?
Mrs. Rachel Salazar
That will be the best for you.
My mom just nodded quietly, as she always does. She's the obedient wife, scared of going against my father's wishes.
She doesn't have the guts to stand up for her child, even if I'm about to face the same fate as her.
The disgust I felt for my parents was out of control.
I've been raised since forever to be the perfect woman so that my future husband would find me appealing.
They taught me how to cook, take care of kids, and, grossly enough, how to ple@sure my future husband.
It's sickening to the core, to the point where I've even thought about ending my life just so I could escape the humiliation they keep pushing on me, all for some twisted power play through marriage.
What kind of parents sell off their child to a stranger they barely know? Did they even consider what might happen when I'm stuck under the roof of a potentially abusive husband?
I wanted to explode, to let them know how much I hate their decisions. But I know the consequences would be terrible.
I need to come up with a plan to escape this mess, without leaving any trace.
I have to act fast because if I don't... I might end up hurting myself in a terrible way.
