#Chapter 10 Patrick is causing trouble!
Rachel's POV
7 Days Later
Freedom suited me.
I smiled all the time now and I took extra care with my appearance because I wanted to, not for any other reason. If someone complimented me, I thanked them and I knew they were being honest because for the first time in my life I was only myself.
Before I had mated Tyler Wright, I had been Patrick Flores's daughter. People who complimented me in my youth either did it out of pity because they knew my father and his nasty habits or they knew my mother had died young leaving me to practically raise my younger brother alone.
After I had mated Tyler Wright, I had been hidden away except to the closest of family. If any compliments came from those people, they were only in an attempt to gain favor with Tyler.
Had I ever been free before rejecting my mate?
I honestly didn't know.
My life felt completely new. The whole world felt wide open to me.
