Chapter 172
The words âLetter to Corneliaâ were written on the envelope Cornelia opened it to find a letter from Skyler
[Dear Cornelia,
Glad to meet you as a friend!
Thanks for giving me the strength to keep on living when I needed it the most
From now on, I wonât be doing anything stupid. But Zavier Rivera, heâs a control freak He wonât let me go that easily. If I want to get rid of him, I can only go to a place he doesnât know. I know what youâre going to say, that President Hartley could protect me But depending on others is not a long term solution.
Growing up. I depended on my family and then barely survived by relying on Zavier. It was rough.
I donât want to rely on others anymore I want to follow my heart, live my life my way.
Life might be tough from here, but itâs what I want. Donât worry about me.
Also. Zavier installed a tracker on my phone. He can check my location anytime. So, I canât take it with me. Please remember to keep my phone charged. Try to delay others from finding out
Iâve left, to buy me some extra time.
Donât worry about me running away. I had it planned a year ago. As long as I get out of Riverton tonight, Zavier wonât find me easily.
When I settle down, when Zavier forgets about me, Iâll find a way to contact you.
Cornelia. I hope the next time we meet, we will be living our lives the way we want!
Skyler Blue]
Skyler had been planning her escape a year ago?
She had just married Zavier a year ago. What kind of life had she been living?
Cornelia rushed into Skylerâs room and found the phone sheâd left behind.
Skyler told her not to worry, but how could she not?
Skyler had just miscarried and was physically weak. She couldnât use her bank cards to avoid Zavier. How was she supposed to escape with nothing?
Cornelia suddenly realized that finding a safe place in this world wasnât easy for Skyler.
Meanwhile, on the 25th floor, an uninvited guest showed up in Marcus home.
Marcus let him in âYouâre in Riverton, and now in my house. Are you worried Skyler doesnât know youâre here, or did she not run far enough?â
Zavier lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, âTell your wife to mind her own business. Skyler has no one to rely on, shell naturally come back to me.â
Marcus sneered, if it wasnât for my wife, yours would be dead by now. You messed up, donât blame it on my Corneliaâ
âYour Cornelia?âZavier looked at Marcus like he was a stranger, âShe hasnât even accepted you as her husband and youâre defending her? Thatâs not how you Marcus treat women.â
âFirst of all, Cornelia is not just any other woman, sheâs my wife. Of course, Iâll protect my wife. Do I need to wait until sheâd rather die than be with me to regret, like you?â Marcus shut Zavier up with one sentence
