Prologue

My footsteps echoed all over the floor of that huge building, sweat dripped down my face and onto my shirt, making it soaked, running in that dimly lit place, I needed to get out of there as fast as possible.- My love, please come back! - The screams of that lunatic calling me echoed in my ears, making me shudder in terror. I tightened my pace as I continued to search for a way out of the endless maze, lured into a trap, like a moth guided into the light.- Baby, let's talk! I love you, let's not fight, I promise! - He continued to shout, only this time it seemed closer.Desperation coursed through my body, any noise made me alarmed and scared."I need to get out of here, but which way! I thought desperately.""My love, please help me! I asked, hoping that my thoughts would reach him."- I found it! - He shouted, making me look around in fear that I wouldn't see him anywhere, yet in a desperate measure I walked through a door on the right.I knew I was on the third floor, but I couldn

Chapter 1

Life seems to want to show you that you are nothing. And that it has the power to force you to make choices that wouldn't be necessary if some people didn't get in your way, it forces you to change course when we make wrong and right choices. Looking at these tall trees, flowers of various colors, I could realize how small I am. Every detail that appears around us has a minimum of perfection, everything is beautiful, splendidly majestic. Except, my life which is nothing but pure disappointment, sorrows and lies, constant changes, everything is perfect. Maybe today my life will change for the better, maybe I can finally improve everything around me. I looked again at the view outside the bus, feeling calmer. I didn't like my life, but I felt grateful to finally be leaving the place that disappointed me so much. I took a deep breath and looked at the paper in my hand where was written the address of the house where I will live, a small house, but cozy because it's just me. I preferred i

Chapter 2

Tiredness overwhelmed my body, however I could hear the doorbell ringing, making me sigh in disgust, it was certainly not the right time for a visit, I smoothed my hair with my fingers and walked to the door opening and found a woman of medium height with very pretty curly hair with delicate features giving me a smile, while holding a tray full of something that exuded a very good smell reminding me that I was hungry. - Hello, my name is Flora and this is Megan, my daughter. We have come to welcome you to our neighborhood! - The woman said, made room and showed a very pretty little girl who looked very much like the older woman. - " Hello." - The girl said shyly, smiling and then hiding behind Flora. - Hello, I am Ayanne, please come in, the house is still a mess, but at least the couch is free! - She smiles shyly, opening the door and making room for the mother and daughter to enter. - Would you like something to drink? I don't have many options, but I have an orange drink. - I sa

Chapter 3

Waking up in a house, where you don't feel oppressed, there are no aggressions and no people who look at you like an unpleasant bug, is the best feeling in the world, and today is that wonderful day. The sun beating down on my face, brought such a nice feeling, as if its warmth was hugging me and inviting me to be by your side, like a warm hug, the only one I could remember was Susan's hugs, her strawberry pie smell and her lavender scented perfume made me feel welcome. I got up feeling totally energized, as I had never felt before, even though I had worked a lot yesterday, and today continuing with my housework, it wasn't even enough to make me sad. I went to the bathroom to take a nice cold shower, just to get my body as lazy as my mind was. As soon as I woke up my body, I went out wearing a baggy outfit, a pair of jeans and a purple and pink floral blouse that was very loose on me, it would be great for another day of organizing and cleaning, already feeling a little warm in the mo

Chapter 4

I was about to turn around when I was surprised by the door being opened, and a man so tall he stood in front of me that I had to back up a few steps and raise my head a little but, and only two things that caught my attention the first thing I saw was his beautiful hair seemed so soft that I wanted to caress him, and the second was his deep and intense eyes were like the starry night, I could not catch my breath that had held, his symmetrical face contained strong features, thick eyebrows and a lip so well drawn, it was beautiful totally different from the men I knew, I got lost in some marks on his face, they were some scars that some day caused him problems, now they were nothing but deep marks, forcing his beautiful face to look strict and angry, even if it was not on purpose, noticing that if I didn't say anything it would make that first meeting strange, I gathered all the courage I could find and got ready to explain the whole situation. - Good morning sir, sorry to bother you.

Chapter 5

I was buying some things that I needed however the money was not so good and was not enough for almost anything, since in addition to rent came along the bills for water, electricity and gas daily needs not to mention everything was so expensive and as I was a minor the owner of the cafeteria took the opportunity to pay me below minimum wage, Luckily I got another job as a helper in a stationery store, after working two jobs and saving money I was able to pay for my college, I won a scholarship that covered half my expenses with the help of a program for needy young people, the scholarships were only awarded to those who got the highest score among the students and the score that the program required, it was difficult, almost impossible, since they complain a lot that only a few people could get it, I studied hard to win the scholarship, and not only that but in college I had to study twice as hard to get one of the places as an apprentice in the atelier, with two other people, among s

Today will be my first day at Draven Leblanc's atelier, I'm so excited, I couldn't even close my eyes most of the night, it was really a dream, to be able to work in the area I dominated and not to mention that it was my favorite hobby, I got up before the alarm clock, got ready with the best clothes I could find in my small closet, I prepared my coffee and as soon as I was drinking it I grabbed my cell phone to call Mr. Joseph, since he assured me that I could call him, it would be easier for me to find the studio, it might be crazy, but I had never even visited the city and I didn't know where the market was if I hadn't asked Ethan - Hello! - I heard Mr. Joseph's voice on the other end. - Hi Mr. Joseph, this is Ayanne, you gave me your number two days ago. - I explained as I took a sip of my coffee. - Oh, yes, of course I remember you, how can I help you? - She asked, looking a little happier. - Well I'm going to work today, but there is a small problem, I'm not sure where the ar

- Yes, you didn't! - I spoke up in shock and turned to look behind me, seeing the man who was busy on the phone talking to me. - Did you like it? - I wasn't sure what his look meant at that moment, or if he was upset that I entered without greeting him, but he still had a slight smile on his face. - I apologize if I startled you. - He looked at me intently and at that moment his gaze became attentive. - No, I apologize. I came in quietly, not wanting to disturb you. - I said embarrassed. - I guess it's hard not to notice you coming into my humble studio. - I hoped that my blush hadn't become apparent at that moment, because I felt my face heating up, I looked at the paintings in front of me trying to disguise my embarrassment. - Yes, I loved it, the paintings are beautiful and show a lot of feeling. - I tried to cut the mood. - Sorry, I didn't even introduce myself, my name is Ayanne Reese. - I held out my mother, and he held her gently and kissed her, making me very embarrassed.

Chapter 8

That morning, I woke up at the same time, with the sun beating on my face, and warming it up, unfortunately the day had already arrived, and I was not enjoying it. I got up, took a deep breath and went to my shower, looked at myself in the mirror seeing my tired image, my moss green eyes had deep dark circles under their eyes, denouncing my bad night's sleep, my light brown wavy hair was terribly messed up, from the several hours of tossing and turning trying to sleep. I got under the shower to get rid of that dead image and wake up, untangle my long unruly strands as I liked to call them, took a nice cold shower, got out wrapped in the towel ready to choose any outfit, I went to my closet seeing already a flowered straps dress in various shades of blue was round and hit the half of my thigh, light and cozy. I took it and laid it on my bed, moisturized my body with a rose and cherry cream, I loved this cream, its smell was so soft. I combed my hair and let it loose, put on some light

Chapter 9

Loneliness, for many, is synonymous of emptiness, the dark, of a deadly silence, where there is nothing and no one. The loneliness for many is unpleasant, cold, suffocating, but not in my case, the loneliness for me, brought me comfort, peace where for many it would be a storm. But why? Do I think like this? When did this start? I have no answer, but I know something that is related. Should love be a choice? Should a mother's love be a choice? If a mother wanted her child, carried it for nine months and still loves it, why did mine choose not to love me, but to erase me from her life, simply discarding me, like garbage which could be thrown into a shredder and nobody would miss me, maybe I should be angry, but no, these people would not have any kind of feeling from me, I would never give this taste, the marks on my body? I am constantly reminded of this already, every moment reminding me that I am a monster, reminding me that those who should love me, have simply turned me into a frea
