Hollow Embrace

Clara

For the past few months, ever since I walked away from this house, I had never heard from them again. Not a call, not a message, not even a rumor reaching my ears. Back then, they wanted to force me to marry Dominic, even after knowing he was gay, as if my happiness had never mattered to them at all, and when I refused and left, it was as if I had been erased from their lives completely.
