Finally I Got You

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Since her mother doesn’t care about her as a daughter, there is no need for her to stay at home and be at her mercy.

Elena Costa stuffed her suitcase into the closet while saying, “Coming, coming.”

“Dad, does Mom still insist on having the wedding tomorrow?” Elena Costa looked at her dad with expectation in her eyes.

“Elena, you don’t have to worry, get a good night’s sleep, Dad will call the relatives and friends first thing in the morning to cancel the wedding.” Elena’s father stroked his daughter’s head, there were some words that he had suppressed in his heart for more than twenty years, and he had never said them, nor could he say them.

Time after time, his wife would take things too far, and this time, no matter what, he had to protect his daughter.

“Dad, Mom is your wife, please tell me, why does Mom have to insist that I get married? In these days, there are plenty of women who are not married at the age of twenty-five, or even thirty, so why, when I am only twenty-two, do I have to get married?” Elena Costa asked the words she had kept in her heart?

Ever since she was a little girl, she always listened to her mother, she never disobeyed her mother’s ‘holy orders’, but this time, why?

Marriage is a big deal, it’s a woman’s lifetime of happiness, but look at the man her mother picked, how can she marry him?

“Elena, don’t blame your mother, you can only blame your father, it’s my fault, but this time I promise you, there will not be a wedding tomorrow.” Gary Costa looked at his daughter, there was guilt in his eyes, but he could not say it, the child has become an adult, there is no point in saying that anymore, as long as he finds a good husband for his daughter, everything will be fine.

“Thanks dad, I’m a little tired, I’m going to bed.”

Elena Costa stopped asking questions, she knew very well that her father’s expression like this already said everything, such an expression, since childhood, had appeared so many times already, but as long as she repeatedly asked, her father would say the words, “I’m sorry.”

“Elena, sleep easy, daddy will protect you.” Gary Costa raised his hand to comfort his daughter, but Elena avoided it.

She had grown up and was no longer the little girl who needed to be comforted by her father’s head rub. This time, she decided not to be silent and submissive.

After closing the door, she dragged her luggage out and continued to pack. After her luggage was packed, she sat quietly on the bed, waiting for it to quiet down outside, waiting for the time that she could leave.

Time and time again, she tried to open the door, but the lights in the living room were still on. It was as if her mother had guessed that she would escape, and tonight, I’m afraid, she found it was really hard to escape.

Looking at the suitcase behind her, Elena Costa made a spontaneous decision, these things are not important, she should only take the documents and cards, clothes and other things can be bought after leaving, the most important thing is that she now must hurry and leave, otherwise, she is afraid that tomorrow she will be forced into the wedding.

She knows very well the personality of her mommy, on the surface she looked very soft and gentle, but in the bones, her mother is very opinionated. The soft appearance, was nothing but her weapon.

The documents and bank cards were held securely close to her body, then she carefully left the room, without her suitcase, which was relatively much safer and less difficult, making it easier to leave.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

From the living room to the door, just a few dozen meters away, Elena looked around to make sure no one was quietly watching, it took half an hour, but finally she left.
