2: The plan

"W-what are you doing here?" i asked while my whole body is shaking in fear. "What? Im going to pick you up. Shouldn't i?" Jaxson said that makes me more scared. He's mad, very very mad. He's going to do it again.

"Aya let's eat-" Ashley said but her smile faded when she saw Jaxson. "Hello, im here to pick up my wife" he said that makes Ashley mad. "No way, she's going to stay with me tonight" Ashley said but the two bodyguards went in so immediately stood up.

"No, it's okay. We're going now, bye ashley" i said and pick up my bag then leave with Jaxson. The whole trip was awkward and quiet. I didn't dare to say a word. He keeps on glaring at me that makes mu body shakes even more.

When we reach our house, he push me to the bed. "You escape again but failed" he said and laugh at me. He's a psychopath. "You escape because I'll get mad at you, right?" he said while laughing.

"No, im not. I just missed my friend. Am i not allowed?" I calmly said. He sat beside me and said, "Of course you're allowed but-, what you did earlier is not" he said angrily then slap me.

"You know what i hate, right?" he said while continue on slapping me. "I-im so s-sorry" i said but he just smirked then punch me. "Sorry? Too late. You already did it. What's the point of apologizing? You already make me mad" he said then continue on punching me. I cant hold it anymore. It hurts too much.

"I w-wont do it a-again" i said begging for him to stop but still, he keeps on punching me. "You keep saying that" he shouted then punch me even harder that makes me vomit blood.

"I-im so sorry. I didn't mean it" he said in panic after seeing the blood i vomit. He immediately get the first aid kit and keep saying sorry. He's always like that. He's going to hurt me then say sorry. I cant help but to smirk thinking about this psychopath.

"Im really sorry, Aya. But its your fault in the first place" he said. Me? My fault? Are you kidding me? Im just making some friends. Am i not allowed to do that? So i should just be here in this prison and only communicate with you?

"I can do it on my own" i said and apply some cream to my bruises. He really is a two faced demon. "I'll go to my studio. I need to paint for the exhibition tomorrow" i coldly said and get out of our room. I started crying when i get inside my studio.

Im not okay physically and emotionally. The person who makes me believe in love is abusing me. He is always hurting me, punching me, locking me up in my studio, forbidding me to go out. It wasn't true love. People may see us as Lovely couple but that is only a cover cause on the inside, we weren't at all.

My phone rang that scared me to death. "Hello?" i said as i answer the phone call. "Aya, so what do you think about the deal i said earlier?" oh it was Sam. I started to cry again. "What happened? Are you okay?" she said worriedly. "Lets meet tomorrow. I want to get out of here" i whispered cause i don't want Jaxson to know that im leaving.

"Sure. No need to bring many clothes. I'll buy you clothes when we reach Europe. Just bring what you need like money or anything that you need. Bring a scarf, a hat and another set of clothes. When we meet tomorrow at the exhibition, you need to change your clothes so that those bodyguards of yours and you husband wont notice that you are missing" she said

"Okay, see you tomorrow" i said and end the call. I prepare my paintings that i will exhibit tomorrow. "Madam, are you going to leave for good?" a maid ask. Oh no, she found out.

"Dont worry madam, i will not tell anyone about it. Be safe on your journey. I hope you can find your happiness, madam" she said that makes me cry. Im so touched. "Thank you" i said and hugged her.

This is it. The day that i would be finally free. No more cage. No more rules. No more wounds and bruises to get. I did what Sam told me to do. I open my vault where i place my important things. I put my credit cards on my bag. I also get some cash and 3 pairs of clothes. I bring some art materials to cover the things i am bringing.

After i make sure that everything's ready, i grab my paintings and left the mansion. "Madam, what's that for?" The guards asked me. Its all art supplies and paintings for the gallery" i said and show them what's inside.

As soon as we reach the gallery, i get off the car and looked for Sam. "Aya!!" Sam and Ashley shouted them hugged me but i push them away. "What? A new one?" they asked and i nodded. "That two faced demon! I really want kill him!" Sam said. Sam and Ashley are my best friends. We were friends since childhood. We care about each other.

"Miss Ayana, the exhibition will start in 5 minutes" my secretary said and i nodded. "Lets meet after the exhibition" i said and they looked at me in confuse. "I just want to give Summer Mist Gallery it's last exhibition with me. I am its founder so i want for its best" i said and smile.

"Okay, we'll meet at the airport" they said and we part ways. "We meet again, Miss Ayana" a man said. I faced him and was suprise when it was Mr. Seo "Oh what a coincidence Mr. Seo. What are you doing here?" i said and cover my bruises.

"I'm here to look at the paintings. I am a guest here. Im am looking for the boss but the staffs said the boss is not yet here so i walk around" he said and i laugh. "Well, you found the boss. I am the owner slash founder of Summer Mist Gallery" i said and he laughed.

"Miss Ayana, how about let's go together?" he said and i nodded. We looked at the paintings in the exhibition. "Goodbye" he said. I looked at what he is staring at. It was my painting of a white chrysanthemum.

"You know the language of flowers?" i asked him and he nodded. I learned what they means because of a person who i love the most" he said while still staring at my painting. He looked at me and ask, "Who is the person who you want to see this?"

"It's my husband" i said and he looked at me in confuse. "Nevermind, its nothing" i said and continue to look around. "Sorry, i cant be with you" he said again so i looked at him. "Stripped Carnation's message" he said and i nodded.

"You love flowers, do you?" he asked and i nodded. "In that case, i will buy 10 paintings except the Stripped Carnation, Butterfly weed, and Chrysanthemum" he said.

"Sarah!" i called to my secretary. She went to me immediately. "Yes, madam?" she asked. "Do me a favor, could you?" i asked and she nodded. "I want you to take care of Summer Mist Gallery" i said and she was shocked.

"I will be gone for a month or a year or never come back. Please take care and protect my precious gallery. I'll give you my contact details for you to contact me if there's something wrong with the gallery but please dont tell my husband about this. If ever he asked or find me, dont tell him my contact details. Don't tell anyone about my departure. Please, i trusted you so dont tell anyone. I'll send you money if you need. Dont worry, i signed the documents. The gallery is in your name and hands from now on" i saw and she cried so i hugged her.

"Okay madam, i promise" she said. "I'll be going then. Goodbye" i said and leave the gallery. I went to the airport and looked for Ashley and Sam. "Where are you going, Aya?" a familiar voice said. It makes me tremble. How did he find me?
