Breaking Free By Rachel Jeffs Novels & Stories

" Judy sounded so righteous as she grabbed my wrist again. I had reached my limit and I could not bear it anymore. "Let go of me!" I flung her off with force. However, I did not expect her to fall to the floor and her arms were cut by the shards. Seeing this, Lawson stepped forward and slapped me. "You're crossing a line! What exactly are you trying to do? How far are you going to push them?!" I froze as the pain stung across my cheek. This was the first time Lawson had hit me in all these years. He had hit me for Judy and for the pup he had hidden from me.

"You said James forced you to report me? The complaint was written in your handwriting. And the person on camera in the break area, stirring people up to isolate me, was also you." "I… I wasn't thinking clearly at the time…" Selena's voice broke as she cried. "I can't even find a job now. I can barely pay rent. My boyfriend left me too. Ms. Smith, you have everything. Just help me a little and I'll get through this. Please, give me a chance… I'll do anything. Even the most basic job." I looked at her, begging in a low voice, and felt nothing. The Selena who used to act superior, accusing me of "hurting the team" and "profiting off others," was gone. All that was left was panic and desperatio

I just feel like I’m finally breathing. My mother gets her head and shoulders through the gap. She’s halfway to the woods. She’s halfway to being free. “Come on, Mom,” I whisper, reaching down to help her pull the rest of her body through. “Just a little more. We’re almost...”

I pick up my phone and call the only other person who can help me out. "Aaron, can I come over?" I ask into the phone when my older brother picks up. "Sure, what's wrong?" His voice is full of concern. "I broke up with Cole," I say. "Come over, Faye's not here so we can get in our boxers with some pizza and beer," he says. Faye is his wife of four years. Aaron is the oldest of my siblings and is seven years older than me but we have always been really close. Every time one of us is going through something, we sit in our boxers and eat and get drunk. This is exactly what I need.

He spoke in a dominating voice but I held my chin high and glared into his eyes with nothing but hurt and hatred. No My inner voice yelled but words didn't come out of my mouth. I won't let him win. "I won't repeat little dove. Get. In. The. Car" He emphasised each word through gritted teeth but I was done being the obedient girl who was expected to sacrifice her happiness every time. I am just done.

she screamed, charging toward her friend as the officer wrestled Victor to the ground. “Get her out of here!” the officer yelled to Seraphina, struggling to subdue Victor as he kicked and thrashed. Seraphina reached Rachel, her hands shaking as she fumbled with the ropes binding her friend. “I’m here! I’m going to get you out!” she cried, desperation fueling her efforts. Rachel’s eyes widened with gratitude and fear as the chaos unfolded around them. “Hurry! Please!” With the last knot finally loosened, Seraphina freed Rachel’s wrists. “Let’s go!” she urged, grabbing her friend’s hand and pulling her to her feet.

Mom's eyes widened in fury as she tried to hit me, but the effort quickly drained her strength, and she succumbed to unconsciousness. Just as I was about to leave, my attention was drawn to her phone on the table, its screen lighting up with notifications. It was Jake who kept sending messages. The phone wallpaper displayed a photo of Mom and him together. I quickly entered Jake's birthday to unlock the phone, and Jake's messages flooded in. "Mom! Did it work? We're running out of time! The trafficker is pushing hard. Hurry up!" Trafficker? My heart raced with curiosity, and I began scrolling through their conversation. Jake and Mom's chat revealed everything. As I read, I snapped pictures o

"You what?" "I bought it to protect you from Theo and-" "To control me!" Lena was screaming now. "That place was mine! The only place where I could be me, and you took it? You fire me without asking. You cancel my membership at the only place I felt free. And now you want me locked down as your personal toy?" "It's protection-" "I don't need your protection! I need my freedom!" Tears burned behind her eyes. "You're just like Jax. Telling me where I can go, can do, can be with—"

That she was able to release her suppressed feelings while she’s jailed was freedom by itself. “I appreciate you being here, hearing me out and my heartaches from men who only wanted me for sex. I can see you through even if we can’t really see each other because of this wall dividing us.” She then told Rachel. “Oh, how I wish we’re at your place having dinner with Hugh and Anton. “ Just hearing Hugh’s name hurts the young woman who never suspected Hugh of having the nerve to cheat on her. “I wish we had become friends much earlier,” Rachel answered back. She also acknowledged the significance of having a sounding board, especially at the condition they’re in.

"Aunt.." Auntie Divina took a deep breath before continuing to speak. "Many years have passed Jacob. It's been a long time. I think it's time now to free yourself from your own chains of despair. Many people love you. That's all, think about it and don't lock yourself in the past anymore. . that's over. there's nothing more we can do. You'd better forget about it and start a new chapter." Jacob just bowed while listening to his aunt's sermons. I just hope it sticks in Jacob's mind and free himself from the painful memories that Samantha left him.
