“What kind of madness is this? Dad, why did you leave me alone in this dark world?” I muttered to myself, tears forming in my eyes which finally came running down my cheeks.
When would I be free? When would I be able to live the life that I want? That I truly deserve! Oh God! I cried internally, tears still flowing down.
I quickly cleaned it with the back of my pale right palm. I didn’t want to be seen as a weakling in front of this wicked woman.
My mother had gotten up from where she was seated, paced about the room for a while and then said to me.
“Freshen up and get dressed. You’re going to meet your soon-to-be in-laws today. You will be staying there until after the wedding.” She stated, with no iota of guilt in her voice.
I scowled at her, my heart racing with so much anger.
“At least, you will allow me recover fully first beloved Mother!” I snapped at her.
“Oh please, there’s no time for all that. I need you downstairs in the next 20 minutes. Don’t keep me waiting.”
