view moreRose’s POV:I stood there, staring at the dress hanging on the wall in front of me. It shimmered in the dim light, the lace and silk almost mocking me as I tried to focus on its intricate details, the beauty that should have been the highlight of a joyous occasion. But all I could think about was how wrong everything felt.“I never saw myself doing this, Sasha… getting married to Jace.” My voice was barely a whisper, the words slipping out in a way I couldn’t stop.Sasha, ever the composed one, smiled faintly as she placed a delicate hairpin into my hair. She did her best to mask the worry in her eyes, though I could see it clearly. She knew. She understood the turmoil inside me."I know," she said softly. "If your mum and dad could see you now, they would be so proud of you. You look beautiful, Rose." Her hands gently pressed on my shoulder blades, trying to ease some of the tension that I couldn’t release, but nothing could truly comfort me.“I wish they were here to see me," I said
Rose’s POV:I woke up in Jace's room, the sterile, heavy air around me suffocating. The echo of last night—the cold blade against my skin, the dark thoughts I couldn't escape—still lingered, as if they were an uninvited guest haunting me. I hadn’t wanted to survive, but here I was, still breathing.Jace didn’t want to leave me alone, of course. Because controlling me is his only way of loving me, right? Richelle and Janelle weren’t allowed to see me, the only comfort I had left. They’d been pushed away until after the wedding—after I was married off to this life I didn’t ask for, didn’t choose.I closed my eyes, feeling Jace’s arm around my waist, and I swallowed the rising bile in my throat. I was supposed to marry him today. Today... as if it would fix all the cracks in the broken pieces of me. But how could it? How could it ever?I’m trapped, I thought bitterly. I don’t even know if Kaiser can save me this time."Roselle, are you awake?" Jace’s voice cut through the silence, soft bu
Rose's Pov:I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, couldn't even focus on anything without the knot in my stomach growing tighter. My thoughts were a whirlwind, and nothing felt right. My family was a mess, and I was starting to wonder if maybe my whole life was too. It wasn’t just the chaos; it was the suffocating realization that this wasn’t what I had imagined for myself. I wasn’t sure what I expected anymore, but it wasn’t this.I turned on my side, staring at the ceiling, unable to ignore the heaviness pressing down on me. I'm getting married tomorrow. The words slipped out of my mouth, but they didn’t sound real. They didn’t even sound like they belonged to me. At eighteen, I never could have imagined my life heading in this direction. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. I had dreamed of it—my life, my future—but it never looked like this.I had spent years in my head, planning my life. First date, then boyfriend and girlfriend, maybe a couple of years of growing together, then marriage
Rose’s POV:I hate this place. I hate everything about it—the suffocating walls, the constant reminder that my life is no longer my own. I can't even leave for a damn trip to the mall because Jace doesn’t trust me. What a joke. After that phone call—God, after everything—he hasn’t even bothered to come back. He’s just gone, leaving me here, locked away, as though I’m some fragile, easily-breakable object.I glance at the rack of wedding dresses in front of me. If there was any doubt in my mind before, it’s gone now. I want to rip them all apart. Tear them into tiny pieces, burn them, stomp on the ashes. Don’t judge me. I know it’s irrational. But I’m desperate. I’m suffocating, and my anger is the only thing that makes me feel alive.Sasha’s voice snaps me out of my thoughts. “This was the one you pointed out in the beginning, wasn’t it?”I look at the dress, the one that I’d been pushed into choosing. The one that’s supposed to symbolize the new chapter of my life. Marriage. The word
