JULIET'S POV

"Everything has a circle in the circle of life," I whispered to myself as I reminisced on how I stepped out from the dark secret room into the light. Some periods don't speak; they just crash into one's life uninvited. Who could've imagined that I could ever agree to be Mr. George's wife after knowing fully well that he's Mark's stepfather?

Although he welcomed me with a beautiful room that is occupied with a plush sofa, elegant curtains, and a breathtaking view of the city skyline. The room was built with a soothing bathroom in it. I had my first relaxing bath in a cool bathtub, positioned at the left corner of the dimly lit room. The cool sent a chill down my spine; my heart relaxed, and my body straightened by the cool drop of water on my head as my body jolted my brain on the new dangerous task ahead.

I whispered to myself, my voice etched with joyous smiles, as a new set of hope washed over me like a plague.I'll let the wind blow me away if the only choice I have is to bend to his heart's desire. My heart desires freedom, yet I'm trapped, living in his bondage—a sophisticated prison, where the only chains are his rules, and the only shackle is his control. No mobile phone, no telecom, no connection to the outside world. Just me, him, and the suffocating silence of his stray dogs."Ha-ha-ha." I laughed, my voice low yet firm, "I would have to play along for as long as I could to get the right information from him." I declared sharply,As I lay down flat like a plank on the giant bed, facing the white ceiling above my head, my mind reeling with different thoughts, filled with the structure of my plans from scratch, bricks to bricks, walls to walls, pillars to pillars.Meanwhile, I awaited

Kitchen well equipped with different utensils, He brought two bottles of Heineken and two glasses; he held both tightly with each hand and walked closer to the giant bed leaning by the window side."She's fine, sweetie, just give it time," Alex replied soothingly. "By Saturday, we'll visit her together, just like the old days." His words calmed my worried nerves but sent a chill down my spine.I watched as he carefully poured a few drops of the drink into each cup.
