Sadie White’s footsteps thudded on the hardwood floor as she
rushed into the bathroom, her breaths shallow and uneven. Panic gripped
her chest, and with trembling hands, she fumbled to lock the door behind
her. Pressing her back against the cold surface, she took a moment to collect
herself, but her heart continued to race.
Sadie momentarily shut her eyes, then she took a deep breath. She
couldn’t hide in the confines of the bathroom forever. Sooner or later, she
would have to face Mason Prescott, the man her father had chosen for her to
marry.
At 23, Sadie considered herself an adult capable of making her own
decisions. So, why had she agreed to this arrangement in the first place?
Sadie scoffed. That answer was easy. Her father always targeted her
weaknesses. All he had to do was flash her his big, sad eyes and the
moment he uttered the word “debts,” she caved like she always did.
She promised she’d do anything for him. To save his business, he
said there was only one solution. Sadie had to marry Mason, the mayor’s
son. Her father neglected to mention that Mason was a monster in human
skin.
Turning her attention to the bathroom mirror, Sadie winced as the
harsh light revealed her face. Sadie didn’t recognize the terrified woman
staring back at her.
Her cheek throbbed where Mason had struck her. Sadie didn’t even
have time to process what happened. Mason didn’t apologize. He merely
stared at her with those cruel green eyes and Sadie knew what her future
and her marriage would be like.
She ran her fingers through disheveled hair, frustrated. Sadie wanted
to be anywhere else but in that lavish town house, probably a gift from
Mason’s wealthy parents. Sadie let out a bitter laugh. He probably had
never worked a single day in his life while Sadie juggled two jobs just to
pay her rent and support her and her dad.
Heavy footsteps echoed ominously outside the bathroom door, and
Sadie’s heart quickened with dread. The sound of the doorknob rattling
intensified the unease knotting in her stomach.
“I know you’re in there,” Mason said. “Open this damn door right
this instant.”
“Go to hell,” she answered, her words laced with an unexpected
defiance.
It surprised even her, this assertiveness she hadn’t known she
possessed. Growing up, friends had often labeled her a pushover—a good
girl who shied away from confrontation, always compliant.
Only one man had seen a hidden fire within her, but he was long
gone now. A fleeting figure from the past, existing only in her memories.
Sadie wondered if that man from her past were here now, would he
encourage her to keep fighting?
Remembering him sparked a flicker of strength within her. Sadie
couldn’t help but imagine his voice whispering words of encouragement:
