I woke up and had an extreme headache. I sat up and looked around, and I was in an unfamiliar room. I started to panic after memories of yesterday started to appear. I found my bag lying on the floor. Where is this place, and who's the room is this? Before I can do anything, someone opens the door. A guy walks in, and he looks familiar, but I don't know where I have seen him.
"I see you're awake," he said. I look at the guy, and he is pretty cute. He is tall and has that British accent. Omg! I'm not in the situation to be checking him out right now.
"Who are you?" I asked hesitatingly. He smirks when he sees that I am afraid of him.
"Forgot about me already? I'm the guy that gives you a free call at the restaurant," he said. I stare at him for a second before letting out a relieved sigh. I was too caught up in calling my sisters that I didn't have time to examine his face closely.
"Well, do you want breakfast or not?" He asks. I nodded and followed him to the kitchen. Is the place is pretty big, and it's also like a penthouse.
"So, mind telling me why you were walking alone at night?" He asked. I bite my lower lips, too nervous to say anything. What if he tells David?
"I suggest you stop biting your lower lips for your own good," he said. Since I did not know what he meant, I do as he said.
"Let me introduce myself; I'm Edward," he said as he starts placing pancakes on the table.
"I'm Deborah," I said. He smiles at me and points to the seat across from him. I slowly sat down and started eating. I didn't eat dinner last night, so I'm so hungry. I can feel his glance while I eat, but I don't care, too hungry to care.
"How old are you?" He asked.
"18," I said. Omg, why did I tell him my real age? What if it's illegal for an 18-year-old to walk alone and be alone in Hawaii.
"I see, you're 4 years younger than me," he said. 4 years? Then that means he's 22.
"Well, thank you for breakfast, Edward, but I got to get going," I said and was about to leave, but he grabs my arm, stopping me from leaving.
"Did you run away from home?" He asks. I rapidly shook my head.
"It seems like you did," he smirks. I give him a nervous smile. What should I do? Kick his balls? No, he's my savior, after all.
"I can help you if you want," he said, and that caught my attention. I sat back down, and he smirks.
"It looks like you're not from Hawaii; how are you planning to go back to your own country?" He asks. I never thought of that. I'm pretty sure David will never give up on searching for me. If I stay in Hawaii forever, he will find me.
"I'll buy a ticket," I said.
"Mind telling me why you ran away; I want to know everything," he said. Should I tell him? If I tell him my whole story, then he will find out that I'm David's wife and Edward might be in trouble for this.
"I-I don't want to put you in trouble," I said. Edward looks at me and smiles.
"I ran away from home when I was 16" when he said that, my eyes widen. 16? You're not an adult yet; you can't live alone unless you're special.
"My dad was involved with the gang or a Mafia, whatever you want it to be called," he said. A Mafia? Omg, I can't seem to escape Mafia.
"Since I'll be the next in line to take his spot, I decided to run away because I don't want to get myself involve in illegal things. I want to live my life being free," he said.
Edward's eye started to tear up. I didn't know what to do, so I play with my fingers.
"Anyway, I'll help you escape," he said. I want to trust him, but his father is a Mafia, so I don't know whether I should trust a Mafia son.
"I-I I'm sorry Edward, I just don't want to be involved with someone related to a Mafia," I said.
Edward stares at me for a while before standing up.
"I'll take you to the airport," he said. I nodded and went into the room to grab my bag. I grab the extra clothes that I brought and changed into them.

After I change, I put my backpack on and walk out of the room. Edward is already waiting for me by the door. After he spotted me, he opens the door and walks out.
The ride to the airport was awkward. I want to trust him, but being involved with a Mafia worries me a lot. What if his father knows David? It's just too much to put on someone that is escaping a Mafia.

We looked everywhere for her, but we can't find her. My guards said that she wasn't at the airport. I can't believe that she would leave her husband like this. I have given her everything that she wants. Everything that I own, I put it under her name also. I provide her family with everything they need, which she's giving me in return. I called her family phone, and they said that they don't know a thing, which I'm pretty sure they're lying. If Deborah wants to play like this, I'll show her how dangerous it is to play a game with me.

Edward walked me inside of the airport. I made sure to put on a cap just in case David's guard are here.
"You must be running away from something dangerous," Edward said while he looks down at me. I give him a nervous smile as we walk up to an employee to buy a ticket.
"1 ticket to the United States," Edward said. The employee nodded and went to get the ticket.
"Why isn't she asking for a passport?" I asked.
"I have my ways," he said and smirked. The female employee came back with a first-class ticket, and Edward handed her 700$ tip. My eyes widen, so this is his way?
"What was that?" I ask as he drags me back to a bench.
"It seems like you're escaping someone or something dangerous, so I decided to get you the ticket without your passport," he said. I give him a confused look. What does my passport have to do with all of this?
"Anyway, I got you an early flight so that it will leave in 20 minutes," he said as he stands up.
"So, are you going to return to your father or family in the future?" I asked. He looks down at me and smiles.
"We'll see, you never know, maybe you and me might meet again too," he said and wink.
I watch as Edward ran out of the airport. Wow, I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye. He might be right; maybe I'll meet him again.
1 month later
I walk into my motel room and lock the door. I took off my black cap and threw it on the bed. It has been a month since I ran away. I do not know what is happening because I have been hiding in a motel room. I told my sisters about this, and they know where I am, but they promise to keep their mouths shut.  I have to hide with my cap and a pair of glasses all the time. I know that David hasn't given up yet. I am almost out of money, but I do have my wedding ring to sell. The more I think about it, though, it's too selfish of me if I sell my wedding ring. Besides, I'm still married to that devil, even though I have escaped him.

"Your daughter has still married me! Where is she!!" I yelled.
"We don't know sir, she never told us where she went," Mr.Gomez said.
I look at her sisters; they both look suspicious.
"You 2 know something?" I ask them. They look up at me with tears in their eye. I don't pity them, though. Their sister doesn't care about them. I warned her several time that if she tries to leave, I will hurt her family.
"Tell me if you don't want one of my guard's men to rape you," I threaten. Destiny's eyes widen, and she hugs her little sister, who is crying to death.
"Andrew, take Destiny up to a bedroom," I demanded. My guard Andrew looks at me, and he looks scared.
"Do it!!" I yelled. He nodded, and I watch as he walks slowly over to Destiny. He grabs her arm, and Mr. and Mrs. Gomez started yelling and crying.
"Please don't do anything for my sister!" Donna begs.
"I'll tell you where she is, don't anything to Destiny," She continues, and I smirk.

After taking a shower, I change into my pajamas and dry my hair. Then, I just went to bed.
"We have found her, sir," I heard a whisper. I open my eyes, but my room is dark. I can see some huge figures, but I do not know who they are.
"Who are you!!" I yelled. They didn't answer.
"Help!!" I scream. I felt someone hand cover my nose with a handkerchief, and I started to feel dizzy. The next thing you know, I fell back down on my bed.
