No Return | Book 1

Rebecca's escape from her home is a moment of intense emotional and psychological struggle, marking her desire to break free from the oppressive environment she has lived in for so long. Raised in a household dominated by her father's rigid control and her mother's quiet resignation, Rebecca feels stifled and trapped in a life where she has never been allowed to pursue her own dreams or question the rules imposed on her. She has spent years silently rebelling in small ways, but it is only when she reaches a breaking point that she makes the decision to leave.

The night before her escape, Rebecca prepares in secret, gathering only the bare minimum-money, clothes, and a few items that hold personal value. As she stands at the threshold of the front door, she is overcome with a sense of finality. The house, which once felt like a familiar cage, now represents everything she needs to leave behind.

When she steps outside, the cool night air feels like the beginning of a new life, full of uncertainty and fear but also a profound sense of freedom. The world beyond the walls of her home is vast, unknown, and intimidating, but it is hers to explore. As she walks away, she knows that there is no turning back, no "return" to the life she knew. This is a pivotal moment of courage for Rebecca-though unsure of what lies ahead, she chooses to embrace the unknown rather than live in the confines of her controlled existence any longer. Her escape marks the start of her personal journey toward self-discovery and independence, though it also comes with a heavy emotional cost, as she leaves behind her parents and everything that has defined her life.
