Chapter 51: Ending Relationship?
’What if the person beside me that day was Fred?’
Talia never expected him to ask that and she never thought about it till now, seriously.
Was it rhetorical or is he assuring the truth..?
Who was the one beside me that day?
Talia tried to remember but all she could see was a blob of red hair beside her, through the lace veil...
Could that person be Fred?
No...No... It can’t be Fred! Why am I getting confused?
I was told by the maid who forced me to wear the white dress, that I was marrying Ray. She pulled my hair while doing my hair and with each brush she was saying how terrible my life was going to be with Ray, as the servant of the Sinclair family. She told me that I was no more a rich missy, but a slave sold to the Sinclair household by my own grandfather as a means to perpetuate the prestige of the Brunton family. That I was worth nothing and matter to no one.
My head feels like it is going to burst. I cannot bear it. My stomach doesn’t feel good either. Why can’t I even stand straight?
The memories of that day returned a bit and made her cold all over. She still remembered how that fat maid was gritting her teeth and hit her and pinched her hard in places covered by the dress so there won’t be any visible bruises, while she was dressing her.
’I won’t get married to Ray! My Fred will be there! He won’t let me get married to him and get ruined! Even if my grandpa sold me out, Fred will save me!’
