Chapter 18

• Arielle stood waiting for the vendor to give her the money so that she can be on the way, she wasted so much time trying to find a new buyer, she didn’t want Luciano to discover that she was missing even though the possibility of that not happening was lean, she just hoped he hadn’t started looking for her and that he won’t when she is still in the city, she needs to be as far away from Russia as she could and wasting this much time wasn’t helping her case, she still didn’t have any plans yet, first, she would take a bus out of the city and makes sure to go as far away from Moscow as possible.
• If only she had been able to sell off the clothes and jewelry the night before, or if the buyer who gave her hope had not disappointed her, then she would have been on the way already, unfortunately, it was hard to find a new buyer as the clothes were expensive looking, she spent the almost the whole day trying to find a new buyer online but there weren’t many people interested in getting it from her, just when she was about to lose hope completely, this woman had come like a rare sigh of blessing and agreed to buy from her for an amount better than what she had bargained with the other buyer who had not shown up.
• The buyer finally came out with the money and once she handed it to her, Arielle thanked her and walked out of the shop, wondering which direction to take, she needed to get out of Moscow so fast, and from there she would know how to leave the country, she really needed to leave no matter how hard it would be for her to start a life outside of the place she knew, it was better than being someone’s slave.
