“Reprieve had never been such a treasure for me at that time. It freed me from his presence.”

Sofia came, we talked for a while and the day went pleasantly great. For once, I don’t have to be frightened when opening my mouth.

Thankfully, Mrs Stellios gave me space and time to talk in peace without having the dread of someone listening to us.

Her help gave me hope that I can still meet my family and I started calling Sofia often so she could stay with me and help me overcome my fear.

Sebastian didn’t say a word about it so I think it’s okay… I don’t want him...
