"So what? I wasn't tired." "It's nearly midnight," I reply. "And you have school in the morning." She doesn't move, but I catch the way her shoulders hunch tighter, her voice muffled as she mutters, "What are you, my dad now?" Dad. Daddy- I exhale a quiet breath, brushing a hand through my hair. "Hardly." Silence again, but not an uncomfortable one. Her room smells faintly of salt and lavender, and I can just make out the soft fringe of her hair spilling across the pillow as she stubbornly keeps her back turned to me. "What were you planning to do, anyway?" I ask, nodding at the shells. "Make a bracelet for every single person in this town?" "Maybe," she shoots back, but I can hear the faint pout in her voice. I crouch beside her bed, levelling myself just below where she lies. "Sadie." She finally rolls onto her back, blinking up at me with bleary eyes. Her hair is a wild mess around her face, her bottom lip pushed out ever so slightly as she glares at me like an unruly child who's been caught. "Go to sleep," I say gently. "Make me." _____________________ Sadie Harper: 17-year-old school girl with a playful and carefree attitude.

In the heart of London - England, the story began: Three years of silence, distance, and cold stares-that was their marriage. The only warm thing Elena Hartwell could get from her husband Logan Bennett was intoxicating intimacy in their bedroom. She should have left then. But she didn't. Because love makes fools of the strongest hearts. But the final blow came when: * One night when her husband looked her in the eye and said, "Elena, You'll never be good enough to carry my children." * Her husband traded her like a pawn to a business partner while he enjoyed a cozy night with his mistress. * Her husband's "true love" showed off an engagement ring and baby bump online. It was humiliating. Cruel. Everything shattered. That was the day something in Elena snapped. She didn't cry. She didn't scream. She just slid the divorce papers to her husband and demanded what was rightfully hers. Logan laughed. "You'll leave with nothing, gold digger." Elena said. "If you're not clear on that, I don't mind having my lawyer teach you a thing or two about marriage law!" But Elena didn't know that once she stepped into this heartless marriage, there was no escape. The more she fought, the more hurtful she would had gotten. But no matter what, Elena would ready to fight tooth and nail against her bastard husband to get her freedom back.
