Chapter 1
Ryan’s POV
Have you ever wished you could go back in time and change a mistake you have made? Have you ever wished you could go back in time and not hurt that one person that made your heart beat uncontrollably? I have never regretted my decisions, no matter how bad they were. I never regretted hurting someones feeling. That is until my Mate came along. Now I might lose her forever.
Violet’s POV
I walked quietly with my sleeping three-year-old sister, Sofia, in my arms. I needed to get her away from him. I walked out the door and was relieved when I saw my best friend Samantha parked in the driveway. I quickly put Sofia in the car seat and strapped her in before hopping into the passenger seat.
“Where do you think you are going with my daughter, you little slut?” I heard my father say. I quickly hopped into the car as he ran out of the house, trying to get to me.
“Drive,” I told Samantha, and she quickly pulled out of the driveway, and we were driving down the road..
My name is Violet Easton, and I.am nineteen years old. My father has been abusing me ever since my mother died in giving birth to my little sister, Sofia when I was sixteen years old. He is a horrible father to both my sister and me. He blames her for my mom’s death and always says if she didn’t give birth to Sofia,

my mom would still be alive. I have been taking care of Sofial since the night my father brought her home from the hospital. He walked into the house and placed her in my arms before. saying.
“She is your problem now.”
Since then, I have done everything for her. The only reason I was able to graduate was that Samantha’s mom would watch Sofial when I was in school. Now I am taking online college courses to get my business degree.
I had been saving my money for a year now from working part- time at the diner around the corner. I was planning on running away with Sofia in a month once I saved a little more money, but after what my father told me at dinner, I knew I needed to leave immediately.
Dinner Time
“Where is my f***ng dinner B**h?”
“It’s coming up right now, sir,” I said from the kitchen. I quickly entered the dining room, holding his plate, and placed it in front of him.
“Took you long enough,” My father said before picking up his fork and tasting his steak. “This will do,” he said, making me sigh in relief that he didn’t throw his plate on the floor like he did last time I made steak because he said it was too cold. I was about to leave the dining room, but he grabbed my arm, causing me to flinch from his tight grip.
“Sit down. I need to talk to you about something,” my father said, and I sat in the chair across from him. “I am just going to

get straight to the point. I owe my boss some money, so I had to sell you to him since I can’t pay him back. I expect you not to make a fuss when he comes to get you tomorrow.”
“What,” I asked, shocked at what he had told me. I couldn’t believe my father just told me he sold me to his boss for a debt.
“You heard me. I had to sell you to my boss, Mr. Jeffrey, in order to be cleared of the debt I owe him. So you need to pack your bags because he will be here to get you in the morning. You will do anything he tells you. I am sure that won’t be a problem. If you please him good enough, I am sure he will treat you well.” Mr. Jeffers was a middle-aged pervert. I already knew what he wanted from me, and he would never get it. I was a virgin and planned on saving myself for someone that loved me.
“What about Sofia?” I asked. I didn’t trust my father with her. There was no telling what he would do to her if I weren’t there.
“You don’t need to worry about her. Now you need to go upstairs and pack,” my father said. I got up from my seat and headed to my room.
I knew I couldn’t leave Sofia alone with him. He hated her because he blamed her for our mother’s death. She died while giving birth to Sofia. Something changed after my mother passed away. My father went from being a loving father that read me bedtime stories to a cold-hearted man that would sell me to his boss.
I looked at Sofia, who was sleeping in our room on the bed we shared. I knew I had to get her out of here before Mr. Jeffrey came here in the morning. I picked up my cell and called Samantha.

“Hello,” Samantha answered.
“The plan has changed. We need to leave tonight,” I said as I began to pack Sofia and my belongings.
“Where will you go?” Samantha asked after driving me to the car I had purchased a week ago. I had been keeping it at one of Samantha’s cousins’ houses so my father wouldn’t find out! had it. If he would have found out, he would have taken it from
me.
“I don’t know. When I figure it out, I will call you. Thanks for everything, Samantha,” I said and hugged her.
“You never have to thank me. You are my best friend. When you get settled, maybe I will come and visit you,” Samantha replied
“Yeah, that would be nice,” I replied. I pulled away from Samantha and hopped into the driver’s seat. I looked back at my sister, who was sleeping in her car seat, and drove away, hoping never to see my father again.
