Melina chews on her bottom lip from nervousness, she wasn't too fond of your new husband-to-be either and wanted to look at the one chance you had at freedom. "Crossing that line would not only keep you from papà but also us, forever." she reminds you of the rules.

The reason the land below was forbidden was that it was once part of your father's land until he got screwed over by a 'business partner' — the Akuma — and now that land is cut in half for obvious reasons. If everyone stayed on their respective sides then peace was granted. Your papà would never forgive you for choosing him over your own blood.

Guards surrounded both areas for intruders or possibly spies. You always thought it was silly the way your papà could never be content with what he had, he always had to have more and even that wasn't enough.

Obviously, or you wouldn't have to walk down an aisle tomorrow forcefully.

You knew that the chances of you sneaking onto the land were nearly impossible but even that sounded more appetizing than the white gown taunting you from your closet. "I have some money saved up from working last summer. Maybe for the right price I can pay him back in payments." you would rather work and have freedom than be rich and chained to a monster.

The twins were now realizing how serious this was, this could possibly be the only night you three had left to be normal.

Noticing their quietness, your arms circle around both girls to soothe their sadness. "I promise I'll come back. I'll find a way. I'll have my phone, no one, not even the Akuma." you tell them with confidence since it was the truth, you couldn't live a happy life until knowing Melina and Doni were as well.

Melina begins to tear up and that's when Dioni demands that we continue the rest of the night sleepover edition. Your heart was full when watching all your favorite movies with them and letting them get some items from your closet wasn't as annoying as it usually was. Maybe because you knew it was the last time.

The next day the wedding was being set up at your papà's house. You didn't bother looking around at what could've been since your mind was already set. You would take your chances with the Akuma and beg for forgiveness later.

You hadn't seen Suguru, you could only assume it was to keep the tradition of not seeing the wife before the wedding. You were thankful for that since that meant only keeping up a facade for your parents and that was easy.

Your mamma ran around the house, not bothering to check if the décor was to your liking. Not that you cared either, the less involvement, the better.

Melina and Dioni were put in charge of the flower arrangements and even though they knew the wedding today would be a failure, they smiled and nodded. Keeping their lips shut. A bag was kept near the side exit which would lead you down a path you used to go down when wanting to get as far as you possibly could from this place.

All you had to do was wait until the perfect opportunity.

You stayed in your room for most of the day, seeing the royal blue everywhere was starting to make your eyes hurt. No one questioned why you closed yourself off and wanted to give you as much time to rest.

As the sun was setting, your mamma was lacing up the back of your dress, making your waist smaller forcefully. "Suguru is a nice guy if you give him a chance." she says as you stand there, numb and deaf to her 'sympathetic' words. "He has the power to make all your dreams come true." your mamma holds onto your shoulders, cold fingers making your stomach tighten. She would never forgive you for going through with the plan.
