Chapter 11: The Desperate Escape
Ava knew she had to escape the mansion, to protect her daughter Amogelang from the curse that loomed over their family. She packed a small bag, her heart racing with every creak of the floorboards.
As she crept out of the nursery, Ava caught a glimpse of Catherine watching her from the shadows. Ava's resolve hardened. She would do whatever it took to keep Amogelang safe.
With the baby in her arms, Ava made her way through the darkening halls, the silence oppressive. She reached the front door, her hand trembling as she turned the handle.
Freedom lay beyond the threshold, but Ava knew it wouldn't be easy. The world outside was vast and unforgiving. Yet, she'd face it head-on for Amogelang's sake.
As she stepped into the night, Ava felt a sense of determination wash over her. She'd protect her daughter, no matter the cost.
The city streets loomed ahead, dark and mysterious. Ava took a deep breath and disappeared into the night, Amogelang secure in her arms.
