Chapter 32 Outside The Castle

• ~ Alicia ~
• The fury that had driven me in Lucian's presence slowly ebbed away as I retreated to the solitude of my room. My emotions were a tempestuous sea, tossing and turning within me. Lucian's grip on my life and the anger he incited had become unbearable, and I knew I had to escape from this gilded cage he had trapped me in.
• Tears welled up in my eyes as I lay down on the bed, feeling the weight of my helplessness. I had laid bare my grievances, I had confronted him, but it seemed that Lucian was unyielding in his determination to keep me under his control.
