THEIR DEVOTION |18+| ⚠️🔞⚠️

5. I tried to run away

Amelia POV

I went inside the store room, shut the door and cried a lot while kneeling my back against the door. It really hurts a lot to stay in this house. So I tried to run away many times....

***********************************

First time I ran away was when I was just 15 years old....

I was tired of scary nights in this house so I ran at midnight with my shoulder bag, i kept 4 photo frame of my family in that and two clothes i had. I didn't had any place to go nor do I had any money with me, at that time Henry and I were not that closed friends either. Still I just walked away from this hell being directionless, not knowing where my destination would be, I walked till the sun rise and got really tired so I sat under the tree in front a house and didn't realised when but I slept there.

Suddenly i woke up when a old lady called me. She was Mrs. Metzger with her husband beside her, Mr. Metzger. That day was the first time I met them.

"Why are you here dear girl?" Mrs. Matzger asked me. They both looked at me with a concern in their eyes. That house belonged to them and they were offering me to go inside there house but i declined as i didn't wanted to trouble them.

Still she insisted and took me inside to sit on a bench in there yard in front of there house while Mr. Metzger was opening the lock of the door

Mrs. Metzger said that they returned from morning walk and noticed me when they returned from the walk. They both were really sweet with me. Mr. Metzger was having trouble to open the door because he had a weak eye sight.

"What's your name girl?" Old lady asked me

"Amelia Wilson" I said to her

"That's a nice name dear" she said and then look at Mr. Metzger as he was taking too much time to open the door.

"You old man, can't open a door?" Mrs. Metzger said to Mr. Metzger. I looked at both of them, they both were really cute with each other and i could see that they had a special bond formed in there marriage even though I was just 15 years old.

Mrs. Metzger opened the door and was calling me in but at the same moment Police came there when they saw me and took me with them.

Turns out Uncle Will filed a missing complaint. Uncle warned me not to that again because he have a reputation in his business circle, if they knew about me running away then his reputation might ruin. I was not really convinced with his words

Because I am not even his daughter then what does his reputation have any connection with me?...

My first attempt failed so i had no choice but come to this hell again. I studied hard while working in this house and endure the members of Brown family while hoping one day I will get my necklace and boxes of not anything more...

A good news for me came that I was happy about. After turning 18, also cleared my higher college studies with excellent marks. On Henry advice, we both applied for scholarship exam and we both got scholarship for Burgeon University, one of the best university in our country!

My scholarship letter came on this house address and that's where blunder happened because Aunty Maya took that letter and got to know about me getting into Burgeon University. She tore up my scholarship letter in front my eyes and made objection on it.

That night I run away and this time with planning, i run away with Henry. He is a really good friend of mine and understood my situation without me saying much about it. He have the idea of how they treats but doesn't know about the abuse things too because I never told him about it.
