As I lay there, the warm sunbeams streaming through the window seemed to dance across my face, tantalizing me with the prospect of a lazy morning. But it was the gentle, soothing kisses tracing a path from my forehead to my neck that ultimately roused me from my slumber. I snuggled deeper into the blankets, reluctant to abandon the cozy haven of sleep. "Babe, it's already noon," Danieal's deep, velvety voice whispered, his breath caressing my ear. My heart skipped a beat as I slowly opened my eyes to find his chiseled features inches from mine. His tousled hair and radiant smile only added to his irresistible charm. I couldn't help but wonder how one person could be so perfect.

I Smiled, my heart racing, and returned the gesture with a soft kiss on his cheek. "Good morning," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.

Danieal's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Come on, babe, Savash is also awake, and we're both starving. We're waiting for you to join us for breakfast. Go get ready; we'll be waiting for you at the dining table."

I nodded and quickly got out of bed, heading to the washroom to freshen up. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and styled my hair in a quick ponytail. I opted for a pink top with black pants, adding a subtle red tint to my cheeks and defining my lips with pink lip gloss. Feeling refreshed and ready to start the day, I headed downstairs to join Danieal and Savash for breakfast.

"Good morning, Momma. Good morning, baby," they chimed in unison as I sat beside Danieal. He prepared a plate of breakfast for me while I made one for Savash. He offered me his first bite as a gesture of love, and I reciprocated with a bite from my plate, then shared one with Savash. We savored our breakfast together, savoring the warmth and love that filled our little family.

After breakfast, Daniel headed to the office room for work, Savash went to his room to play with his toys, and I settled in with a book, indulging in my favorite pastime .

Flashback:

But before this idyllic scene unfolded, my life was vastly different. As I lay peacefully in bed, the warm sunbeams disturbed my sleep once more. I woke up to find it was 8 pm – far from the peaceful slumber I had been craving. I grabbed my phone from the nightstand and checked the time. The memory of that night still lingered vividly in my mind.

After the traumatic events that had unfolded, I knew it was time to escape the toxic environment that had once haunted me. My father's brutal abuse had left deep physical and emotional scars – scars that still lingered long after he had left our home forever. The memory of those belt beatings still triggered panic attacks and trauma.

As I sat in the bathtub, soaking away my worries, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. I had decided to leave everything behind and start anew in New York. A week ago, I had applied for a receptionist job at a prestigious hotel in Manhattan and was thrilled to have been selected. The hotel would cover my bills and rent, providing me with a fresh start.

With my newfound determination coursing through my veins, I packed my belongings and prepared for departure. I wore a blue top with blue pants and grabbed a white bag before stuffing my passport and important documents into my backpack. As I hailed a cab and headed to the airport, I felt a sense of liberation wash over me – a sense of freedom that had eluded me for far too long.
