Capítulo 27: Chapter 27: Coffee with Caleb

Driving from the main house, I found myself thinking over everything that had happened. Yes, I had created a bond with Talon and it had been a wonderful moment. But the last thing that I expected when I got called into my father's office was that he was going to explain to me that he had set all of this up.

Tears streamed down my face, realizing that I had been deceived. The only thing that I had wanted was to come here and get an education and be able to make a difference in the world. I had thought that I hadn't gotten accepted to those universities because I wasn't good enough. But at the end of the day, it was because my father had made sure I didn't.

He had pulled strings to satisfy his own needs and desires, making sure that I came here to fulfill some destiny that he thought was the right path. No one had explained anything to me, and in fact, no one had even asked my opinion on all of it, or what it was that I had desired.
