Prologue
All-set. That's what is said to myself. So many preparation time is used for this plan to happen. My freedom is so close, but I cannot let my guard down yet. I went over my mental check list again. Passport, documents, clothes, pictures, hand phone and money.
I slung my back pack, my luggage are already in the car. I looked at my room. I'll miss the collection of books and the view to the garden and the smell of roses outside. I sighed.
"Adieu."
I closed the door quietly and carefully proceeded to the back of the house where a car is waiting for me. Father wouldn't approve of this of course and he can't know where I'm going.
The ride was long and quiet. It would have been discreet to use a cab to go to the airport, but my Butler, Dimitri insist on taking me to the airport. It wouldn't have been an awkward ride if he acted like his cheerful self, but today he was so stiff as a cardboard.
Finally arriving at the London Heathrow Airport, Dimitri is as pale as a chalk. I smiled to him.
"Don't be like that; I'll be sad if you show your face that way when I'm leaving." I smiled cheekily.
"My lady-"
"I won't change my mind. You know my life is a living hell here. Good-bye Dimitri." I kissed his cheek and proceeded to the boarding area. I didn't look back. I'm afraid that if I would, I won't leave.
"Here comes freedom."
