"You look beautiful" Andre compliments me and Leo nods in agreement.
"Thank you" I smile responding.
They take a seat on the couch and motion for me to sit down as well. I sit on the black couch directly across from them.
"You both look young, are you married?" I ask curiously
"Yes we are married but not legally. I'm 20 and Leo is 19" Andre answers.
"How old are you Adrianna?" Leo asks
"I'm 16"
Andres eyebrows furrowed.
"Why are you wearing such a provocative dress at that age?" He questions
I looked down embarrassed.
"Just my style I suppose. It was also popular where I lived before"
"That's a shame, we'll have to change that" he responds to my answer
"What do you mean?" I ask in an annoyed tone.
"Careful what tone is used when talking to me dear. I meant your style will be changing cause it's inappropriate"
"My style is perfectly fine, I will speak to anyone the way I want too. Thank you for the invitation but i'll be leaving now"I stand up and grab my purse.
I look over at Andre and it's clearly obvious he is pissed. I begin walking away.
I hear a small whisper from him
"...sit down.."
I roll my eyes at his stupidity and continue walking .
"Adrianna if you take another step you will regret it" he threatens quietly.
I walk faster to the door when I feel a hand forcefully grab me and slam me into wall.
Andres face was completely calm to the point where it was terrifying. His face drawls in closer and he places a small kiss on my lips.
He pulls a white rag out and places it over my nose and mouth. I hold my breath and try pushing him off me. I was able to get him off and run to the door but he pulls my feet. Causing me to fall. I trying getting up quickly but he flips me around pinning both of my hands and shoving the clothe on my face. I inhale the chloroform and the room begins spinning.
My eyes water and a warm tear runs down my face before passing out.

I wake to a pounding headache and a light shining on my face from the sun coming through the open window. I set myself up on the large bed. Rubbing my eyes out of tiredness. I look around the room and it's unfamiliar. My heart rate rises and I began freaking out. I run out of the room and run down the stairs of the dubois home. I stop at the sight of my mother
"Mom! We need to go. They'll hurt us!" I yell
"Adrianna sweetie, they will be taking care of you from now on. They are paying off all our debt and sending me 20 thousand a month. We don't have to worry anymore." she explains smiling
"What do you mean they'll be taking care of me?" I ask her with fear in my voice.
Her face saddens and she speaks up again.
"They are going to marry you and you'll live with them. But i'll always come and visit you"
I shake my head in disbelief.
how could she...my own mother giving me away. I look down at the table and see a contract that was signed with my mother's signature.
My fate was officially doomed...
