Chapter 55. Freedom

Third-Person POV

The sun had set, and darkness had fallen. Lyana had fallen asleep, and her mother had tucked her into bed. Ayana’s head was still flooded with recollections of her nightmare, which had appeared in her life like a storm at the worst time possible.

She had been thinking about Adam since the minute he left her cell. His image crowded her head, and his beauty infiltrated every aspect of her being. She couldn’t figure out why she was reacting so strongly to someone she despised so much. Someone who would make her life even more miserable than it was.

All she wanted was to forget him. Besides, she had made her decision and her thoughts about the whole marriage saga known to the man, and she was not just about to change her decision for anything. She knew that was the first and last time they had ever crossed paths. All she wanted now was to forget that nightmare of a man and try to find the solution to her problem at hand—chasing freedom.
