[Breaking Free 01] • Wait For Me

Faith - I'm trapped in a loveless, abusive marriage to a man the whole world thinks is good. He's the pastor of the church I grew up in, and everyone there adores him. So did I before we were wed and I learned the real reason he wanted to call me his wife. I can't go on like this, but leaving him means walking away from my family, my church, and every friend I have besides one.

My best friend Chrissy never cared for my soon to be exhusband, and she's more than willing to help me escape. There's only one problem, her older brother Ryan. He's a friend when almost every one else turned their back on me, but he's also recently released from prison. Ryan is trouble, plain and simple. I know better than to fall for man like him, but it's hard to keep my distance since we live and work together now. Maybe he's really changed, or maybe I'm just a fool for trusting anyone again this soon.

Ryan - Faith is pretty as a picture. She sings like an angel, and she acts like one too. She's all around too good for me, a fact I'm sure she'll see sooner or later, but I figure I've got two choices in the matter. I can walk away now, before someone gets hurt, or I can try to be a better man.

I've made my mistakes, and I can own up to them. Even if I'd never laid eyes on Faith, the last place I want to find myself is inside a jail cell again. Things might end up perfect for the two of us, if not for that crazy preacher she used to be married to. I've already warned him to stay away from her a few times, but some people just don't listen. If he doesn't stop, I'm going to hurt him. If he harms a hair on her head, I might end up behind bars for the rest of my life.
