Fresh start

Sophia pov "Please, Steffie, only you can help me. I know you love your uncle, but I can't live like this anymore. I'll take the expenses you have to agree." I say with tears on my cousin's phone "things here are worst. Johnny is starting to become aggressive. My father-in-law and my mother-in-law live with us and make my life hell. My husband never defends me, and I can't be patient anymore. For two years now, I try to talk, I'm patient, but no one ever listens to me or understands me. I have to go far, and you are my only hope. Please, I beg you." I say, crying trying to keep my voice low, so they don't hear me "How will you give it all up and leave? It is difficult and costly to come from Greece to the USA." "Please, I have thought about everything, and I have arranged everything, the only you have to do is agree and host me only at the beginning. No one will know where I am, and I will contact you when I am ready. No one from my family will bother you. please“ Everything was ready and arranged, and I asked Steffie to help me for a week. She loves my parents very much and feels that she is betraying them. "Ok. But if they call me, I'll deny it all. I haven't seen you, and I don't know anything." What a relief. " Of course, I don't want them to know where I am either thank you, thank you. I will send you the details when I will arrive. Thank you, you are the best." I'm on a plane to New York, and I'm thinking about how much has happened lately by organizing my escape from a life that didn't fill me and didn't offer me anything. I didn't talk to anyone about it. Only Steffie knew which one I needed for my installation. I left a letter to my family and my husband. If I spoke to them closely, they would do anything to keep me here. And believe me, it would win the subscription of the good kid I've always had. I know you can tell I'm leaving like a thief, but at the moment I couldn't face them. I had arranged everything. I will stay at Steffie, and I will do a master's degree to better work in my profession. In Greece, I studied Command of Health Units, but I didn't manage to work. This time I will not let anyone get in the way of my new life. I will finally do something for myself. My grandmother was always there for me, and she comforted me, and this time, even though I lost her, she gave me the most significant gift. After her funeral, her lawyer approached me secretly and told me to visit him alone because my grandmother had a big surprise. He left me a lot of money and property just for me and privately. "To make a fresh start just for you, you deserve to be happy, and now you are not. Leave and live your life for you and not for others, and so I will be happy to see you from heaven". She wrote these to me in the letter. Her lawyer has already taken action on the divorce and arranged everything so that I don't have to be present anywhere. And when it was all over, he would send me the divorce papers. The flight attendant's announcement that we were approaching and ready to land woke me up from my thoughts. After we landed and got my things done, I went to the exit and tried to find Steffie. Eventually, she took a break from work today to come and pick me up. She is an architect in a well-known construction company. "Sopfia here," I hear a voice, and I turn. "Steffie, hello, oh god, I have to see you for so many years. How many? 9-10 years since you came with your parents from Greece?" I told her, and we made a big hug. "9 years ago we came to our cousin Costa's wedding" we looked at each other and smiled, "right. I'm so glad to see you and thank you again for everything" "Nothing, sorry I didn't say Immediately yes, but you know how close our families are. I don't want to cause a problem. But you and grandma had thought of it all, "he says with a laugh. Steffie's mom and dad are siblings. But there was no problem. Steffie's mom now lives in San Francisco, Steffie usually goes to her mom, so there's no way she'll see me. Until I settle in and tell my parents everything, we won't have a problem. "Yes, our grandmother had organized everything perfectly," I say with a laugh. "Let's go. Kyle has cooked to welcome you." Kyle is Steffie's boyfriend. From the few times I have seen him in photos and videos, he seemed to be a good guy and is very sexy like most chef men. "That's great. I can't wait to try the cooking of the famous chef Kyle, hahaha." I say, laughing. "Believe me, and you're going crazy. That's how he made me fall in love with him," we said as we drove to her car.
