Chapter 48 All these years , this was the first time Robert had been this furious .
His sharp angry voice rang above my head .
Apologize to Lex ! Or the wedding is off tomorrow ! } He knew how much I had been looking forward to this wedding .
My biggest wish all these years was to wear a wedding dress and marry him .
Just as he expected , I lowered my head , looking like someone who had done something wrong .
The lingering tears in my eyes stung .
My voice trembled slightly .
Im sorry , Lexi .
From the doorway , a mans indifferent voice cut through the air .
Ill have someone pick you up at eight in the morning .
} What Robert didnt know was that for me , tomorrows wedding wasnt a dream come true it was an escape .
The day I would finally leave him for good .
*** Early the next morning , his assistant arrived to take me to the wedding .
Just as Lexi had said , I showed up still wearing my hospital gown .
Her dress brushed against my exposed ankle as she placed a veil over my head .
She let out a laugh .
Happy wedding day , Adalyn .
Did you really think putting on a veil would make you the bride ? Its just to cover your blind eyes so you wont embarrass yourself .
} When she didnt see the despair she was expecting on my face , her expression darkened .
Roberts was irritated as he shouted .
Wheres the wedding dress I had prepared for you ? Adalyn , are you trying to get back at me on purpose ? Do you actually plan to marry me looking like this ? The assistant helped me toward the dressing room .
Just as I was about to take off the hospital gown , an unfamiliar mans voice , filled with excitement , sounded behind me .
A blind girl , huh ? But damn , youre pretty .
Be good and dont scream , and Ill take real good care of you .
> Before I could react , rough hands yanked at my clothes .
I struggled with all my strength , but no matter how hard I pushed , I couldnt get him off me .
} I bit down on his arm as hard as I could .
You little bitch , you looking to die ?! Enraged , he flung me to the ground , his heavy breaths hot against my neck .

My clothes had just been violently torn apart when a sharp , shocked voice shrieked from the doorway .
Adalyn ! How could you do something like this at Mr.
Bains wedding ? Do you have no shame ? The man above me paused , then scoffed , panting .
} She threw herself at me first .
Like hell Id be interested in a blind girl .
The moment he spoke , the room buzzed with accusations .
I cant believe Mr.
Bains fiancée is actually blind! } No wonder she lost her sight imagine cheating on Mr.
Bain of all people .
> What a shameless slut ! } The words slithered toward me like venomous snakes , each one biting deep into my skin .
} Panicked , I clutched at the remains of my torn clothing and curled into myself , burying my head in my knees .
My whole body trembled violently .
Suddenly , the room fell eerily silent .
The only sound left was heavy thuds of approaching footsteps .
Adalyn , why are you betraying me ?! A hand soon clamped tightly around my neck .
Roberts eyes were bloodshot , veins bulging along his arms .
I struggled with all my strength , barely managing to choke out a few words .
I … didnt … ) The suffocating pressure closed in on me , my vision growing hazy .
Just when I thought I would pass out , Robert suddenly let go , only to grab my chin in an iron grip .
After all these years together , you should know better than anyone I despise betrayal .
You must have lost your damn mind to be with a man like that .
Since thats the case , forget about the wedding .
He turned to the guards .
Take her to a psychiatric hospital ! The moment I felt hands grab me , panic surged through my chest , sinking me into despair .
If I got locked away in that hospital , I would never make it back to the McLeods .
That thought sent a jolt of adrenaline through me .
I thrashed against their grip , breaking free , and bolted forward with everything I had.E Catch her ! > Roberts furious voice echoed throughout the walls , footsteps pounding closer with every second .
My heart slammed against my ribs .
Everything was pitch black I couldnt see a thing but stopping wasnt an option .
Running was my only choice .
! Then , out of nowhere , I crashed into a warm embrace .
A familiar voice , breathless and anxious , rang above my head .
Ada ! } 9:14 AM Spencer ! He was my eldest brother .
