Chapter 123

Amelia pov

Lucy and the rest began to laugh, so I used that as an opportunity to run away. I walked as fast as my leg could take me to my chambers, and immediately, I entered and closed the door, making sure none of them would have done me.

I fell to the ground, closing both eyes with my hand, as I began to weep in tears, unable to believe this was going to happen to me.

It wasn't even up to an hour since Luther had left the palace, and I was already passing through all this; I stood up a few minutes later and went to the bathroom to clean myself up.

I sat in the hot tub for an hour or more, thinking about how I would leave the palace, and then, after so much thought, I decided to leave as soon as possible without anyone knowing.

This time, I was going to go far away, and if I ever got the news that Luther was back, I would return to the palace.

Without wasting any more time, I began to pack all my luggage together, and without making it noticeable, I hid them under the bed.

At the same time, I pretended like I wasn't even doing anything of that sort. Luther never bothered to come to check on me. He only saw me once in a while in the throne room and the dining room, but I did not care about that.

I also did not bother talking to him and just passed him any chance I got. And after the word I had said to Lucy and the rest, none of them ever came back to bother me again for anything, so I felt at ease.

I did not bother packing many of my dresses and just picked the important ones and hid them. I didn't even bother taking any footwear in hopes that I would return whenever Luther returned.

It had been close to two weeks, and when Alpha Damien was assigned for a meeting in another park, I knew my chance had finally come, even if I left the palace. At this rate, no one would ever be able to notice.

Before I left, I made sure to take care of everything and ensure that there wouldn't be any obstacles. Additionally, I monitored all of the requirements to ensure that everything was perfect.

The day for Alpha Damian finally came, and I was one of the happiest people in the palace to watch Damien leave. Just a few minutes before he left, he walked into my chambers and sat on one of the sofas, staring at me while I stood there in Fright.

So I stood in the way so that I could block the luggage hidden under the bed. He smiled and stood up, walking back to the doorway. That puzzled me as I could not tell what exactly he wanted.

I couldn't tell if he was just here to torment me or if he was going to miss me, and that was why he came to check up on me.

So I stood there and watched him. He walked slowly toward me and whispered in my ears,

“I would be back, so you better wait for me. Do you get that?” he said to me. The next thing he did shocked me; he just walked away.

I couldn't believe he would give up on me so easily. I have always hoped that he would let me go and that his possessiveness for me would reduce, but I never expected it to be this way.

He was just letting me go, so I stood there, tears dripping down my face, as I was unable to believe that he was also losing his feelings for me. Even though I wanted it so badly, it still hurt me more to know he had grown out of me, so I watched him do whatever he was doing.

I slowly walked down the staircase and stood before the other brides as they waved in farewell. I smiled deep within me because I was happy to finally get the opportunity to run away, as I did not plan ever to leave, even though I promised Luther that I would wait for him.

I don't think I could wait because I knew within me that Lucy and the other bride had a huge plan ahead, and Isabelle would win against me yet again, which was something I did not want.

I dashed into my room and dragged out my luggage, ensuring everything was intact, and then I locked my door and sat on my bed.

Impatient! I was going to wait till nightfall, and nightfall wasn't close ahead around the room, then I decided to take a quick nap, but when I woke up, it was already nightfall and almost midnight. I couldn't believe I had slept that deep, but I saw it as a good opportunity for me, so I stood up and opened a particular spot in my bedroom, where I always hid stocks of cash.

AlI the cash with me after packing them up and calculating it, I saw it was a huge amount of money, so I forced it all into my luggage and stood up.

But I was going to make sure I wasn't going to get caught this time around because I knew the amount of punishment Alpha Damien was going to give to me if he found out that I planned to escape, even though he had told me that I was not meant to leave the palace no matter what.

I went down the stairway and slowly passed through Lucy, Susan, and Isabelle's room, and even the other brides. Just to make sure that none of them were weak, and after confirming they were all fast asleep, I decided to take the easiest road out of the palace, which was the kitchen back door; that was the way that led to the barrier of territory, and so I did that.

After ensuring I was leaving the palace, I lifted my luggage and placed it on my head as I dashed. I was unable to believe I was finally able to escape, but I hadn't gone far when I became fragile and fell to the ground with my luggage on my head I felt like something was twisting and making me weak, which puzzled me a lot.
