Escape

Chaper 1

Gradually, the first snowflakes travelled towards the frosted, brisk grass as the gentle wind hit my rosy cheeks. It was Christmas morning, another year just flew past my shoulders. Time flies too fast for me to even catch up. everyone is already preparing for New Years and I'm here, walking through a beautiful park, enjoying the scenery that is evolving around me. I don't get why people don't stop and enjoy the surrounding around them, all people care about these days is money and fame. However I'm a bit different, I want to go explore the world a bit more, not just focus on my duties as a woman. This kind off explains why I love going outside all the time. It's the year 2073 and I've heard that a long time ago people weren't so self absorbed, people where able to find love in one another. That's not the case here. Love is very rare these days, most marriages are arranged by parents. Marriage is more of a deal now, if the a male has money then the woman is forced to marry him to have a 'better life'. I know women had more rights in the past however for 20 years now men have all the power, I don't know what happen. Woman had the right to vote, to work, they were not treated like housewives. I'm so sick of this world I just want to be able to go to work to have the right to do whatever I want to without my father's or my fiancé permission. Yes, I'm getting married, but I'll talk about that later. For now I just want to take my mind off things and listen to the whistles of the birds without any distractions.

As I entered my house I could hear my parents arguing something about some dinner that will take place today. If I'm right it will be a dinner with my fiancé. For God's sake. Just for your information I don't want to marry anyone anytime soon. As I said before, people marry each other just for money, however I'm not that type of person I have fought day and night but they just won't drop it. I don't even know what to do anymore. I want more adrenaline in my life. I don't want to be stuck home all day and be treated like a slave.

"Oh, your finally back."My mother entered the hallway wearing her elegant, baby blue dress."We are having Christmas dinner with David tonight, get ready, this is an important for not only you but our whole family."

"I couldn't care less about him." I murmured underneath my breath obviously too loud as my mum lashed out at me.

"What do you mean you DON'T CARE, stop taking everything for granted, do you know how much money he has. He's a millionaire, you are one lucky woman. I always dreamed to be like you."

"What if I don't care about money, what if I want to marry of love and not money. How are you so blind, men these days are just controlling all women. What happen to woman rights, what hap-"

"Liane Alex Blake, don't speak to your mother like that. Your 23, stop behaving like a child. What happens with woman is our governments choice not ours. As a matter of fact I love my life, now go get changed and don't bother me anymore."

"You don't get it!" I blurted as I stormed into my room. I feel like I'm the only one in this world that understands me. I feel like I'm the only one that has the courage to speak up about our rights. What happen to all the inspiring woman that once fought for freedom. But this is what I mean I can't do anything thing about it. I'm getting married and I need to deal with it.
