Chapter Two

Amber’s legs wobbled, her balance faltered, and her emotions felt like a chaotic storm, but she refused to turn back and leave without confronting the family that had betrayed her.

She knew it was time to stop avoiding the inevitable. Despite her determination to have nothing to do with this family ever again, she couldn’t escape confronting them forever.

Even though she understood deep down that it might not change anything, she needed closure, a resolution to the torment inside her mind.

Standing in front of her family home, a place she hadn’t visited in three months and had sworn never to return to, she took a deep breath before walking through the gate and towards the front door. Every step felt like a challenge, a battle against the anger and humiliation she carried within.

Inside, her father’s familiar voice greeted her, but the surprise in his expression suggested he wasn’t thrilled to see her so suddenly.

“Amber!” he gasped.

“Hello, Dad,” she replied, her voice devoid of any emotion. Despite the rush of emotions within her, she couldn’t bring herself to be happy seeing her father again. The disappointment she felt toward him was immense; he had failed her when she needed his support the most.
