Ravaged & Ruined by Daddy's Enemies
Chapter 19: Ambush on the Road (Elena's POV)
The morning after the breakfast mess I wake up empty. No fight left or tears. Just quiet acceptance. I sit on the bed stare at the wall for a long time. Daddy knocks soft asks if I'm okay. I say yes voice flat.
I shower dress in simple jeans and a sweater from the closet. Old clothes feel strange on my body now. Too clean too safe. I pack the small bag myself put in the few things I still care about. A book. A necklace. Nothing from them. Nothing that hurts.
Downstairs Daddy waits with coffee. He looks relieved when he sees me dressed packed.
"You're ready," he says soft.
I nod. "Let's go."
He smiles small hopeful. "This is the right choice baby girl. You'll see."
We load the car. Same black SUV. Daddy
