~Every piece of you is a burst of beautiful~

Evangeline's PoV
For a moment, as I stared into his eyes, I had completely forgotten about the plan and what'll happen to me. I had forgotten about it all. And I liked that feeling. I felt at peace.

"Fuck, I don't do relationships," he mumbled under his breath, snapping me out from the trance I was trapped in. Everything came back to me and suddenly, I felt angry.

"Good," I snapped. "Because I don't want one." He let out a sigh and grabbed my wrist just as I twirled around.

"Eva," he sighed out before falling silent. His grip on my wrist loosened and I took the chance to let out a scoff and walk away.

Once I had got to my bedroom, I refused to let what just happened replay over and over in my mind as I got into bed and closed my eyes.

I walked towards the kitchen only to see it was completely empty. It was the same in the game room, family room and all the other rooms in the house. I paused for a moment, wondering if the boys really had returned last night or if that was just my imagination.

Then, suddenly, it hit me. The wedding was happening tomorrow. The boys are all prepping for the wedding. I guess I'm not invited.

I popped a grape into my mouth before walking back to my room. It's a pretty big house and I really don't have anything to do. I sat on my bed, eating my grapes just thinking about everything.

My dad deprived me of my whole life. I wasn't allowed a life at all. I wasn't allowed an education. I wasn't allowed friends. I wasn't allowed to be a child. I wasn't allowed to leave free of fear. I wasn't allowed to do any of that.

But I want to change things. I need to change them and that starts with saving my mom.

Forget about Tobias. Forget about it all. Whatever happens to me will happen but all I'm focused on is finding my mom.

I have no idea where I lived.

Since coming here, I've never left the house. The only fresh air I get is from when I open a window. That's sad. And I can't believe it's took me this long to realise it.

Feeling annoyed, I left my room and headed towards the dining room which had French doors that led to the outside. Gingerly, I placed my hand on the door handles, taking a few deep breaths in. Just as I was about to push the handles down a voice interrupted me.

"What are you doing?," Tobias spoke from behind me, making me freeze. "You can't ignore me forever," he continued when he realised I wasn't going to answer him.

"I can try," I shrugged. He let out a sigh. I turned to face him. "Aren't you supposed to be getting ready for your big day?"

"What are you doing standing here?," he asked, ignoring the question.

I narrowed my eyes at him before deciding to answer. "I was about to go outside."

"I'm not dumb. I can see that but why were you just standing here?"

I paused for a moment, realising that he doesn't know that this is my first time outside since I've come here.

I stared at his face for a moment, just wondering how someone so beautiful could be so cruel. I turned away from him, ignoring his question. I placed my hand on the door handles and pulled open the doors. The fresh air slapped me in the face as the smell of freshly cut grass was all I could smell. The sky was the bluest I've ever seen it as the sun glared harshly down at us. Birds sang, making me believe they were welcoming me for the first time.
