His Weakness

His Weakness - When it started

"SHE'S WHAT?!?" My furious father roared.

We were supposed to be eating dinner but my older sister, Audrey, had seemingly disappeared.

My mother knocked on her door and barged into her room, not even waiting for her response.

But, nobody was there.

My sister had disappeared.

There was only a solitary letter placed on her bed.

A letter that changed my life.

The letter told us about how she was running away with her boyfriend, Tommy Kent (who was 29 years old).

I was shocked!

I never noticed that she was forming an attachment with our music teacher!

My father was furious and directed most of his anger towards my mother, who didn't notice anything.

I was only 10 years old at the time and didn't know exactly what had happened.

Until my father decided to keep me closed off from the rest of the world, because he didn't want anything to happen to his only remaining child.

The day that Audrey left was also the day that I, Adrianne Collins, was forced to live in a prison that my father constructed for me.
