The story
For twelve years, Eve Dawson has served the Hawthorne family, enduring the cruelty of Ashley Hawthorne, who treats her as a pet to be summoned and dismissed. When she sees his engagement party livestream, where he mocks her as a mute burden, she finally unclasps the collar engraved with his name and walks away, her debt paid.
But freedom is not so simple. Mrs. Hawthorne accuses her of theft, crushes the only keepsake from her father, and throws her into a blizzard without a coat. Ashley puts out word that anyone who helps Eve becomes an enemy of the Hawthornes, cutting off every path she might take. Sick and homeless, Eve refuses to crawl back, even as Ashley's black Maybach pulls up beside her in the snow.
Opening
The bride was radiant. In the comments, someone jokingly asked where I was.
“Ashley, what happened to that little shadow of yours? The one who swore she’d never marry anyone but you?”
Ashley Hawthorne let out a short, cold laugh, flicking the ash from his cigarette with careless grace.
“Don’t bring up that mute. She’s bad luck.”
“She has no pride. Even if I threw her out, she’d come crawling back on her knees, begging for me.”
The partygoers erupted in laughter.
