" Tell me Obedience have you thought on his offer?" I Could see it now, the lust in my father's eyes. No, not for a woman, not for a man, not for me, but for money. My father was a hard working man who believed in one thing in trooth, money.
I was seventeen when William Reese asked for my hand in marriage. He was a banker from the carribians that had meant to only pass through our settllement to vissit his father. But a storm had struck and we were chosen to house him.
He was an obviously wealthy man, and his looks were fine, but there was nothing I really liked about him. He reminded me of a fox. They seem like beatiful harmless things untill they bite you.
"No! I already told you that I will not marry him! I refuse to marry a man a bairly know, let alone have had a chance to like!" My father was angered my the comment, but merely walked away, opting the save his argument for another time and place. William would be back in two weeks to hear my answer. He hadnt even asked me, instead choosing to only ask my father.
'Oh how I wish I could leave and never return to this place! It's like I was born with a-a'
"Noose?"
Had I just heard that? I felt a shiver run down my spine as I looked towards where I thought I had heard a voice. Nothing was there.
