Chapter 70 ~ Love's Exploits

18th of May 1782

~Y/n's pov~

Everything was messed up. My mind, my body and everything in between. Shuddering in fear, knowing that Ella and Samuel were to die. I wanted to do something but I couldn't when Henry had left he made sure everything was locked securely. I still tried to bust open the door or window but to no surprise, I failed.

So I had no choice but to wait for George. Sitting silently on the edge of our bed regretting everything. To think all of this was because I wanted to help. I tried to help but instead failed, I didn't do any good for anyone except George and my children. Ella was wrong that being a mother and a wife wasn't my job because that was what I was now. After six years of trying to get away from George, I was reduced to that.

But I wasn't going to stop playing this game, I was going to last until I got what I wanted. There was no point in giving up now and letting George win. Ella and Samuel had sacrificed themselves for me to be free and that was what I was going to do. Be free from this tyranny I had been under.

"Y/N!?" I snapped out of my trance and my head turned around. My eyes fixated on the door and I felt my heart start to thump. I gulped slightly and the door clicked open. Anxiety soon washed over me and I turned back around closing my eyes and blocking ears. "Y/N?" I heard George call out as I heard the muffled soon of his footsteps. I clenched my eyes tighter and let the silence consume me. I stared into the darkness of my closed eyes and slowed down my breath to silence myself.

The footsteps became louder and I felt the bed sink slightly and a body lean against mine. I shifted slightly and felt an arm wrap around my waist. My breathing fastened and I felt two hands pull away mine from my ears. I flinched slightly but let my arms pull away. "Y/N, are you okay darling?" I heard George's voice whisper. I stayed silent and tried to block out his words. "You know that this is really hard for me to, I really don't want to kill them but they were going to take you away from me." He spoke again.

I ignored him and he stroked my head slightly. I kept my eyes closed but then felt tears brimming from the corners of my eyes. I felt my heart tighten and I opened my eyes to let the tears flow. I sniffled slightly and George turned me around to face him. His pale hand grabbed my face and he pulled it closer to his. I mumbled incoherently and George smiled softly wiping the tears away. "I'm sorry Y/N but I can't do anything else."I shook my head slightly and looked at George, I pulled my face away from him and stood up.

"You can't do anything!? How about you don't kill my cousin and her husband maybe you can do that!" I snapped back. George's eyes widened and he stood up facing me. "Y/N, you don't understand they were trying to take you away from me," George spoke shakily. I glared at him and scoffed, "To think I actually thought about staying with you? You know what George I'm leaving." I yelled. George's facial expression changed and his eyebrows furrowed slightly in anger. "And leave our children Y/N!? They need you!" He pointed at me. My eyes widened slightly and I stepped back, "Our children? They're your problem George because your the one who made me have them!" I argued back. George's face turned back to his former self and the look of despair and regret was plastered over his face.

I glared down at him and looked to the door. His blue eyes caught my gaze and I bolted, heading for the door. "Y/N!" George called out and. I latched onto the door handle with both my arms. I violently shook the door praying that it would open. But then I felt George's arms grabbed my waist from behind. I held on tighter to the door handle but George managed to pry me away. I tried to shake myself of his grip but he tightened his arms around me. "I'm sorry Y/N but you're not leaving again," George whispered. I felt my stomach drop and I wriggled even more.

"Fighting back isn't going to work love, just stay an everything will be fine," George spoke again. I shook my head and dug my elbow into George's stomach. I felt his grip loosen and I shifted them away to free myself. George collapsed to the floor holding his stomach in pain as I rushed to the door leading to the balcony. I threw it open and rushed out to see a large crowd in the distance surrounding a wooden platform. I felt my spine shudder and my eyes fixated to the figures strung upon the platform. I didn't have enough time.

I swallow my tears and held them in. All I could do know was escape and find freedom, for Samuel, Ella and myself. I stared down below the balcony and looked at the ground below. It was too far. But that didn't matter I turned around and walked around the room searching for anything that could be used as a key. I then remembered my coat, and I moved my hands to unclip one of the clips holding it together. I pulled it off ripping the fabric slightly and turned around facing the door. I stared down at the clip trying to adjust it but then felt myself run into something.

I looked up and saw George's eyes staring down at me, I flinched slightly and back away. George didn't speak and instead grabbed my wrists. I pulsed slightly and tried to dig the metal clip into George's head. But he held my arm and pulled it down. My eyes widened again and I tried to move away. George chuckled and pulled me right in front of him. I shook again slightly and his right arm wrapped around me. His grin widened and I buried my face in his chest. "I'll never love you." I sobbed slightly.

George smiled again but softer this time and he patted my back "I know."
