Esteban Johnson

Chloe has known Esteban since kindergarten. Their parents are best friends, wealthy, influential, and inseparable. For as long as she could remember, Esteban was already there… a year older. “You’re going to marry Chloe,” her parents told him when he was just a child. And Esteban liked the idea. So, from a young age, he told everyone without shame or laughter, as if it were a done deal: “She’s my wife. ” At first, the adults took it as a childish game. But Chloe bore the brunt of the consequences. From a young age, that statement isolated her. Children didn’t approach her, no one tried to be her friend. Chloe always said no. Always. She said it when she was a child. She said it in elementary school. She repeated it in middle school. “I don’t want that. ” But no one listened. While she grew up trying to find her own space, Esteban grew up convinced that he didn’t have to ask permission. The idea of ​​marriage stopped being a comment and became a certainty. He decided who she talked to, where she went, what plans were “right.” They weren’t a couple. They never were. And yet, Chloe felt trapped in a relationship that hadn’t even begun. In high school, the feeling became unbearable. It wasn’t just discomfort anymore: it was fear, exhaustion, suffocation. She started avoiding him at all costs. She changed routes, pretended to be busy, hid behind excuses. She stopped going to family gatherings. She stopped accepting vacations where both families would be together. She preferred to be alone than near the man who watched her as if she belonged to him. She didn’t feel protected. She felt watched. That’s why, when she started talking about going to another country for college, it wasn’t out of ambition or whim. It was to escape. To get away from a promise she never accepted.
