As I creep down the grand staircase of my family’s mansion, each step
feels heavier than the last. My heart thuds against my ribs, threatening
to give me away with its erratic rhythm. But I can’t afford to falter now. Not
when I’m so close to freedom. Every step sounds like a gong ringing out in
the quiet house. I’m afraid to even breathe. But it’s a long journey from my
bedroom to the side door I’ve plotted my escape through. My shoes are in
my hand as I tiptoe down the stairs.
If I’m caught, I’ve already rehearsed the story in my mind a thousand
times over. Piper would be my scapegoat. She’s out partying at some club,
too drunk to drive herself home. That’s why I’m sneaking out to rescue her.
It’s a lie, of course, but one that might buy me enough time to disappear. It’s
something I’ve done in the past. My parents will buy it.
My suitcase waits patiently in the trunk of my car, packed with the
essentials I’ll need for my journey to liberation. It’s been sitting there for
days. As I reach the bottom of the stairs, I steal a glance back at the opulent
foyer, filled with memories of a life I’m about to leave behind. I’ve long
fought the panic. I can get by with the minimal clothes I managed to sneak
out of the house. I’m giving up my beautiful closet stuffed with designer
clothes and more shoes than a girl could want.
But I have to. It’s the only way I can truly live.
With a final, determined breath, I step outside and into the cool night air.
The mansion looms above me like a gilded cage. A squeeze of fear almost
sends me right back inside. I know the life I’m leaving behind. I’ll miss it,
but I know I can’t stay. I’ve tried. I wanted to be the daughter my parents
could be proud of, but at twenty-five years old, I know it’s never going to
happen. I’ve gone with the flow for too long. It didn’t make me happy, and I
couldn’t imagine living the rest of my life under their rule.
I swallow the lump of fear in my throat and make my way to my car. The
sleek black Beamer was a gift for my birthday last year. As I slide into the
driver’s seat, a sense of anticipation courses through me. This is it—the
moment I’ve been waiting for. This will be the moment I’m caught. I pray
none of the staff is awake.
