FREEDOM! Woo! It was like the biggest weight was lifted off my shoulder. I just felt so happ-

"WHAT?! THIS IS CRAZY!,"I heard Stone shout from behind us. I turned around, with Lia (cecilia) and Lisa beside me and I could feel Granny and her family stood behind me. I felt scared about their reaction but with my friends by my side I felt extremely safe.

"THIS IS STUPID, THAT IS MY GRANDAUGHTER FOR FUCK SAKE!", I heard Grandpa yell, my cousins and uncles cutting in and arguing with them.

"I didn't bribe the judge if that's what your saying, I'm not like you guys", I said with a sweet smile, making them all turn to me. The triplets were now also in views, looking me up and down with a smile. My family noticed this but didn't seem to bothered about it, infact they seemed to like the fact that they liked me.

"You can't get out of marrying one of us thought sweetheart, Stone signed it for you days ago and you can't change it", One of them said with a sinister smile. The other two were stood next to him in line with eachother, trying to be intimadating, when really they were some boys who hadn't even finished puberty yet.

"Well technically due to the fact that Cecilia is her legal guardian and that Matilda is 16, she can decide on her behalf and therefore cancel the marriage contract", Lisa said with a small smile of her own, which made them turn from smug to angry pretty quickly.

"No way! Stone promised her to one of us, she can't just change that!", They yelled at me as I rolled my eyes and giving them a sharp glare, shutting them up pretty quickly. I mean, they looked like they were about to fucking cry or something, they obviously weren't use to being yelled at or even told off.

"I wouldn't marry you even if it wasn't arranged, your obviously delusional, all of you are infact, I mean, take a look into the real world, you call it stupid and crazy when really its just the opposite, I'm safer and much more loved with Lia then I ever would be with you, I mean mum was miserable for fuck sake!", I said throwing my hands in the air. This really caught their attention as they were all staring at me curiously. Some with a glare, as my father just stood away awkwardly watching me.

"No she wasn't, my angel was happy with her husband and children", Grandpa said confidently. The other nodded whilst Lia looked like she was about to blow her fuse box.

"Oh really? Is that why she never called dad? Why she could barely look at any of you during christmas's, you blame her for all the pain, when you started it all! You made your eldest daughter marry a man who treated her like crap. Matilda made her happy, made her want to live again!", Cecilia shouted at them, which caught Grandpa off guard, as is was obvious that no one really talked back to Grandpa. They all fixed themselves up and stood awkwardly.

I remained silent as we all stood for a moment, with them all staring at me as I looked at anywhere but them.

"You can't just ignore us Tilly", Lucian said with cold eyes. My cousins and brothers copied this whilst my Uncles and Grandpa looked down on me with hate, understandable I mean I did just embarrass them infront of a shit ton of people.

"Yeah because I really want to talk to a bunch of people who blame me for my mother death", I said with a straight face glaring at them.

"Well it was your fault", Grandpa whispered but I gave him a swift glare. The others were also nodding along agreeing with them.

"My fault? Wouldn't it of been Samuel Redhearts fault?", I said angrily, catching them all off guard. Grandpa eyes widened and my brothers looked angry, well, Lucian looked very confused. Well that's going to awkward when they get home.

"He killed her, NOT me, if anything you killed me, and you honestly think mum would of forgiven you? For choosing her over her only baby girl? She would of falled into a depression and died from that! Her mental health must of been crap anyway having to deal with all of you!", I said, once again throwing my hands up in the air in fustration. I looked behind me and Granny and her family had left, and Lisa left my side as well, most likely out of respect as it wasn't their family.

"How the hell did you even find out about that?!", Grandpa asked furiously. I just stared at him with wide eyes and a look in which said "what in the audacity".

"That's what you care about right now! How I found out and not the whole, ooh my daughter was kidnapped and killed by a man that she loved! In which you ruined! If anything it was all your fault that she's dead!", I said screaming at him. He went to go slap me, a motion in which I was very use too.

I caught it just before it happened. I pulled him in close so we were inches apart. He tried to pull back but the old man wasn't strong enough as my grip was holding on extremely tight.

"I have been slapped around more than you will ever know, I'm going to make it very clear to you right here, right now. I know everything... every single thing, probably more than you! Now, I am sick of you assholes trying to control me all the time, I am a goddamn woman, not a little puppet, my mother may not of been strong enough to go against you, probably because she loved you cause, you know, your her father, but I barely know you, therefore, I don't give two shits about you or your obscene opinion on women, stay the fuck away from me from now and forever, when I have my kids, you stay the fuck away from them as well", I said with anger and pure determination in my voice. I let go of him and shoved him away.

"You know for a gang leader, your not such a great leader", I said, knowing that it would irk him. He looked so pissed off with the comment it gave me a tiny bit of fear, but I let it go as soon as it came. I turned to look at Stone who was staring so intensly I thought he was dead or something, I mean the man hadn't blinked the entire time.

"You were the shittiest brother that's ever walked the planet. I hope you all rot in hell", I said dramatically flipping my hair over my shoulder and walking out of their with Lia beside me. When we got outside Lia gave me a huge hug and Granny and her family came and gave me hugs as well. Lisa however was no where to be seen.

"Be safe hunny, remember that I am always here when you need me wherever you are, which I'm guessing your not going to tell me", She said with a small smile, but tears were starting to pour.

"Hey don't cry, I'll come visit for Christmas and stuff! Can't wait to meet the new addition of your family Granny", I said with a huge smile as she nodded. I waved her off as she and her family got into a car and drove into the distance. I sighed as I looked at Lia and she smiled back.

"Well, I'm just glad that was over and done with", She said, putting an arm around my shoulder and hugging me gently. I just smiled at her and she smiled back at me. We were heading to the car when Lisa ran over to use with a huge smile.

"Sorry about that girls, was getting those retraining orders in tacked!", She said with a grin. I looked at her with open eyes as she laughed at my expression.

"They can never hurt you again sweetheart! Your safe until they fight the courts in 6 months, in which I will be there to make sure no one ever hurts you again!", She said with passion and with a smile of triumph.

"I have other cases I need to get back too, you have my number always sweetheart! Just call me if anything ever goes wrong or you need a damn good lawyer! Not to toot my own horn or anything of course!", She said with a smile. She gave me a very long hug and a kiss on the cheek, and gave Lia a hug but a much shorter one than me, I heard her whisper someone to Lia, in which she just nodded in return.

Lisa then got into her car, and sped off, beeping and waving as she went. I watched them all leave, but I knew I would see them again, that we would be happy, smiling and laughing once more.

Lia grabbed my arm and hooked it with hers.

"You ready to see your mum house?", She asked. I nodded with a huge smile as she gave me a kiss on the forehead. We walked over to the car and put the radio on. She put the keys into the engine and turned the car on.

I sighed in relief, knowing that I could live my life like a normal human being, and not be forced to marry anyone I didn't want too, or be scared of my broken past. But Scotland will be different, I will be able to start afresh and be able to live my life without fear.

I'll be 18 in year and a bit anyway.

How hard could it be?
