Chapter 138 ESCAPE

CLAIRE’S P O V

I had been Fred’s wife for the past five years, and every year, and every year, I had tried to get away from him, but he would always catch me, and he would beat me until I could no longer walk. He would chain me for a week as my punishment.

I can’t live here for the rest of my life. I have to escape from him no matter what.

One day, when Fred was intoxicated, I was able to find an opportunity to escape. Having spent a considerable amount of time planning this, I was confident that he would not be able to catch me this time. During the course of my preparations for it this afternoon, I discovered a plant in the forest that is known as Valerian, and I added it to the liquor that he was about to consume. And at this moment, he was soundly sleeping, with his head resting on the kitchen table.
