Raina's POV:
I had been waiting for Susan for a long time when she finally called me.
"Have you found out what I asked you to?" I eagerly asked in a low voice.
"Yes. Apparently, Alice takes the twins to the park near the Moore mansion for a walk every morning."
Susan's words lit up a glimmer of hope in my heart.
"Very well. Let's do it on Friday then. That'll be the perfect time to execute our plan as the Moore family gathers on that day."
"I see. I'll have it arranged right away."
"Make sure you don't make any mistake," I warned.
If someone found out what I was planning to do, it would be the end of me.
"Don't worry. Adam's men are not to be underestimated. I assure you, everything will go according to plan. By that time, you can have Charles for yourself."
The call ended shortly after. I was ecstatic. But then again, it was too early for a celebration, so I tried my best to suppress the joy in my heart.
This would be my last and only chance. It was now or never.
A few moments later, I went out of my room to see if Gary was home.
I had lost my freedom ever since he violated me.
And whenever he wanted me, I had to come running to him that instant.
Because of that bastard, I lived in pain and humiliation every single day.
When I walked out of the room, I ran into Sunny, who was about to go down the stairs.
She smiled and greeted me warmly upon seeing me.
"Mom, has Dad gone to work?" I asked tentatively.
"No. He's still downstairs. He's waiting for us, so we could eat breakfast together."
Fear washed over me like a bucket of cold water.
I unconsciously turned around to go back to my room to hide.
"Raina, what's the matter with you? Why do you look so pale? Do you have a fever? Are you not feeling well?" Sunny reached out her hand to feel my temperature.
However, I dodged her hand and reassured her, "I'm fine."
Sunny was unmoved. She looked me in the eye and asked, "Why are you acting strange these past few days?"
I forced a smile and reasoned out, "Really? Maybe it's because I haven't had a good rest."
"I see. Anyway, you should go downstairs and have breakfast. Don't keep your father waiting." Sunny held my hand and took me downstairs as she spoke.
I wanted to escape from her grasp and run away. However, I was afraid that Sunny would find out that something was wrong.
Downstairs, Gary was seated at the dining table, eating breakfast.
He looked up at me, and I felt the air freeze for a moment.
To say that I was scared was an understatement. I was terrified.
My body trembled in dismay as the memory of when he ravaged my body came into my mind.
"Raina, why are you still standing there? Sit down and eat."
Sunny's voice brought me back to my senses. She beckoned me to sit at the table and then asked the servants to bring out my food.
I glanced at her and sighed inwardly.
Sunny was so naive.
The atmosphere at the table was awkward. And yet, she did not seem to notice it.
I was at a loss for words, so I just nodded with a smile.
"Raina, please don't think we're ignoring you. It's just that we've been busy these past few days because of what Liam had done. You can talk to us anytime, though. Just let your father know when you need anything," Sunny advised kindly.
The smile on my face froze.
Little did she know, I wished to leave this place.
