2 Nightmare

<p><br/>"You Useless Women, Why Do You Think I've Married You Huh?" He held her wrist so tight that she could smell blood.<br/><br/>Today seemed like the day she would meet the devil. "Wait, you think I'll want to keep a fool in my house with no house chores experience? Just for me to feed?" He chuckled before continuing, "Let me make this clear, you are mine, my property. My... My apologies for my earlier behavior. This is not the way I want us to be."<br/><br/>Her vision blurred as her eyes grew heavier. In her dream, she saw her phone ringing with her favorite song, 'God Is A Woman' by Ariana Grande, bringing her back to reality. She had been having these nightmares since 9th grade.<br/><br/>Mira, a brilliant learner, managed to excel academically despite her difficult home situation. She graduated in 2018 from high school and aspired to further her studies abroad, but financial struggles hindered her dreams.<br/><br/>She set an alarm for 1:00 AM, the time when their Wi-Fi signal was strongest due to her parents' financial struggles. They couldn't afford it, not because of their means but because Mira desired to study abroad.<br/><br/>When she woke up and checked her mailbox, she found that none of the scholarships or loans she had applied for had come through. Frustrated, she decided to contact a scholarship sponsor directly. With her nightmares haunting her every night, she felt desperate to make her dream come true.<br/><br/>She contacted the sponsor, who initially said they only sponsored U.S. residents. Mira pleaded, explaining her situation. To her surprise, the sponsor, Austin Ryan, agreed to help. He instructed her to obtain a passport and arranged for her to fly to France for her studies.<br/><br/>Mira's heart soared with hope, but doubt nagged at her. She received a message from Austin, assuring her he wasn't a scammer. Grateful and relieved, Mira fell asleep, knowing her dreams might soon become a reality.<br/><br/>The next morning, her mother encouraged her to have faith, assuring her that they would find a way to support her studies. With financial struggles looming over their family due to unforeseen circumstances, Mira clung to the hope that Austin Ryan's offer was genuine.<br/><br/>After breakfast, she prepared to visit the Home Affairs office to sort out her passport. As she got ready to shower, she realized there was no water, frustrated by the ongoing financial issues in their household.</p>
