Chapter 4

*RENEE*

The guards pushed me out the door and slammed the door on my face.

“Marcelo…Marcelo!”I called,knocking hard on the door.”Marcelo,I am your wife.You can’t treat me like this!Open the door!”I yelled.

Seeing that wasn’t working,I decided to beg.

“Marcelo,please.I know this seem pretty sudden to you but we can work things out.Just let me in,I’m begging…”I paused when I heard barking sounds.

I recalled that he had told the guards to release the dogs.

What dogs?

I looked towards the direction of the sound to see two dogs running towards me.

If I hadn’t previously heard that they were dogs,I would’ve called them wolves, big ferocious wolves.

I broke into a run,running as fast as my legs could take me.

No.

I wasn’t ready to die.

I was just twenty-two.

My life might’ve taken different twists and turns that I never wanted.

Still,I didn’t want to die.

I believe that there could still be brighter days ahead of me.

I ran to the courtyard of the house.I could still hear them barking and charging towards me.

It seemed as if they’d rip me to pieces if they caught sight of me.

I saw what looked like a small cottage not far away and I ran into it and slammed the door shut.

I quickly ran to the windows and closed it.

To my dismay,there was a push on the door as if the dogs were trying to break in.

Seriously?

Were they trained to murder people?

Panic filled me as I looked around and saw a table.

I hurried towards it and pushed it in front of the door.

The barking continued outside while I sat on the floor,trying to catch my breath.

I was trembling and I felt so scared.

I was in a dark room.This place was dirty as if it was abandoned.

The windows were old and I was scared that the dogs might break through it.

I moved against the wall and hugged my knees.As I sat there,I tried to murmur encouraging words to myself.
