Chapter 16

Thirteen years ago.

"Hello? Princess?"

"I can still hear you, mom." Jennifer sighed in frustration, unable to hide her angst.

"Darling I'm totally not in support of this. This is the height of it all! There is really no going back after this! Do you think you can live with the guilt of taking a person's life?" Jennifer's mom admonished her daughter from the other end of the phone. Jennifer was silent for a brief moment as she contemplated over what her mom had told her. For the first time, she was beginning to have doubts. Was it all worth it? She wondered. Today she had planned to do something really terrible for the man of her dreams. She was about to take a huge leap in her life for this man, and all the while she had not had thought about it twice, not until this moment. She shrugged as if shaking off the indecision, then she spoke.

"I'll consider it as a little sacrifice I have to pay to get what I want." She answered before ending the call.
