Crawling Back To Her Series Redemption and Refuse

Book Chapter8.

Thinking about what Sarah and the vendor said, I realized I'm not the same

person I used to be. I can't be so submissive for a man.

I packed up my things and moved out.

I went to stay with my grandmother.

After my parents passed away, she was my only family. She had been a painter in

her youth, and when I arrived, she was still working on her art.

"Becca, you're here!"

She smiled warmly, her eyes crinkling with joy.

I couldn't help but cry as I hugged her tightly.

"What's wrong, dear? Who's been upsetting you?"

"I..."
