Chapter 51 "What do you mean leave!" Silas asked, and I finally realized what it sounded like to him.
"I didn't mean it that way, I just meant that I wanted to start going for classes. Chase a degree," I've been indoors since I got here and it's starting to be boring.
I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. I wasn't sure what is reply would be, but I had to try.
"I want to go to school." He stared atfor a moment, as if he didn't quite understand what I'd just said.
Then, slowly, he shook his head, a small, humorless smile tugging at his lips.
My brows furrowed in confusion on why he was laughing and then his reply came.

1 blinked, taken aback by how easily he dismissed me.
"What do you mean, no? I need this, Silas. I can't just stay here. locked away like some... prisoner," I said matter of factly, expecting him to understand me.
I couldn't remain in this house for the rest of my life, I needed to do something for myself.
My fists clenched by my side and I stared at him, nose flaring. J.
He couldn't take this away from me.
"You are a prisoner," he replied bluntly, his gaze unwavering. "You forget your place, Katrina." What? Anger flared inside me. "You can't keephere forever! I deserve a life, too. You promised things would be different, and yet here I am stuck, while you get to do whatever you want." "I did? When did I promise things would be different? I never accepted your father's offer for you to replace my daughter Katrina. So tell me. He asked, folding his arms and leaving against his chair. And he was right.
My fists clenched and unclenched, words failing to leave my lips.
But I needed this.
"Well. What use am I going to be to you if I remain indoors for the rest of my life?" I asked, brow coming up.
No one said I was is going to remain with him for the test of my life, but still used it as an example.
I have no issues using his money all my life, but I needed to do something for myself.
Silas let out a slow sigh, rubbing his forehead as if I was giving him a headache.
"If you're that desperate for an education, you can take online classes. That is my offer." He le can't be serious right now 1/3 11:54 Thu, Nov 21 B.

And a university was my best option.
My fists clenched at my sides. "Online classes? That's not the same, and you know it. I want to go out, be in a real environment, interact with people. I want- "I said no." Silas cut in, his voice sharp now. He leaned forward, his elbows resting on the desk, eyes narrowing. "And that's final." My chest tightened, but I refused to back down. "I'm serious, Silas. I can't do this anymore. You don't get to control every part of my life," Why didn't he understand that? I couldn't stay locked up like ssort of prisoner. It was unfair He raised an eyebrow, a flicker of amusement crossing his face.
"And you think that's going to change if you throw a tantrum? You need to understand your position." And that position was thay I was going to be beneath him.
His tone, the intensity of his stare onand even his body movements angeredto the core.
"Position? Is that all this is to you? A gof power?" I shot back, frustration boiling over.
"I'm not just a pawn. I'm a person, with dreams and desires!" And yhe sooner he understands that, thr better.
