He cares
After that episode.
Pom awoke early, intending to walk to the garden, then she noticed Elena in this state.
Elena was called "madam" by Pom. She, on the other hand, did not respond and went to her room. Elena shut the door and locked it.
Elena's point of view
I took a few steps back and took a look around. That boy only knew how to torture me.
I smiled. I now have to clean up my room again. After cleaning my bed sheet and floor, I went to the bathroom to take a bath.
Her skin was riddled with bite marks and black buries.
Elena sat in the shower for a long time.
I emerged after an hour and sat in front of the mirror, touching my cheek. Today is the day of my wedding.
As a result, I think I'll put on some make-up.
I started applying make-up and concealing my scars.
I gazed in the mirror while dressed in a gown. "Now I look beautiful," I said to myself.
Someone unexpectedly knocks on the door.
I replied, "Yes, I'm coming." Pom, who had brought breakfast for me, greeted me when I opened the door. It is, however, still too early. Maybe she thinks I'm too weary and hungry because of last night.
Pom placed the tray on the table. "Are you all okay, Madam?" She asked, worried. With a grin, I answered, "What is the reason behind this? What will happen to me? "
"Let me put antiseptic on your back, madam," Pom said as he peered down. Tears welled up in her eyes.
"Everything is OK right now. It's only a simple, shallow wound, "I made a cheery comment.
Pom called out, "Madam." She said, "I'm sorry... I understand."
"We're all on the same page, Pom. Just act as though we don't know anything, "I stated.
"Madam," Pom started crying after saying this.
"Pom, please stop crying," I said.
"Will you bring me along?" "Ma'am, I'm not going to work here," Pom explained.
"Why? "Won't your second madam scold you?" Elena asked.
"To me, it makes no difference. Because of you, I've worked here. I promise I won't allow anyone to hurt you this time, "Pom added.
I said, with a heartfelt smile, "hurt! Don't worry, no one will ever abuse me again, and I'll tell my father about you."..
Someone unexpectedly rapped on the door.
"Elena," my dad said.
I returned my gaze to my father and said, "Good morning, Dad."
"Baby," Dad said, approaching me with a soft smile.
I noticed he was holding a packet in his hand. My dad said, "This dress is for you, dear,"
I took the packet and eagerly cut it open. And I found a bridal gown. "It's really gorgeous, daddy. You have given me a present after so many years, "I remarked as I touched the gown. Robert's heart ached when he heard Elena.
Robert's point of view.
She is right. Elena, I'm sorry. It was my fault that I couldn't adequately care for you. However, I shall ask Mr. Huston to look after you. If he wants, I'll work for him for the rest of my life, but I'll beg him to wish you happiness.
"Dad," I called him.
Robert grabbed the bowl of soup from the tray and remarked, "Today, I will feed my princess."
"Dad, I want something," I said, smiling.
"Yes," Dad said.
I told my dad, "Dad, I'd like to take Pom with me." Pom caught Dad's eye.
"Oh but-", Mr. Robert was about to say something, but Elena interrupted.
"Don't tell me you have to ask your wife, dad. But, because my mother brought Pom here, I have the authority to take her with me, "I stated. Dad sighed and shook his head, a sad expression on his face.
"Go pack your things," I told Pom, as I stared at her.
Pom left the room with a smile on her face. It's dead silence because I don't have anything to say to my dad right now. My father and I used to have a lot of chats, but now those have stopped. Dad abruptly broke the silence by calling my name, "Elena."
I stared at him and responded, "Yes," as I sipped my soup.
Dad asked abruptly, "Can you forgive me, daughter?"
I asked him, "What did you do?" because his remarks made me smile.
"I'm a terrible dad who doesn't take care of his children. I have remained silent about whatever they did to you, "Mr. Robert explained.
I smiled and gave him a careless look.
"How come you're telling me this?" I asked.
"I'm sorry, baby. " "I tried to stop Anne from hurting you, but I knew she wouldn't," Dad explained.
"However, Paul! "He's worried about you," dad said.
I couldn't help but laugh when I heard him. I laughed and replied, "Is he concerned about me, dad? Yes, he genuinely cares about me "..
"What are you laughing about?" my dad asked.
"The thought of his caring makes me laugh. Yes, he showed a lot of concern for me last night, "I remarked, laughing.
My Dad called me "Elena" in a perplexing manner.
I smiled as I stopped laughing and replied, "Yeah, he truly took care of me by hitting me and forcing me to sleep with him."
"What?" my dad asked, surprised.
"Raping has become a common thing for me." "I'm used to it," I said cheerfully.
After hearing that, the bowl of soup dropped from his grip.
"What?" Dad said, his eyes widening in surprise. I turned my gaze to the mirror after giving him a pleasant smile. "Yes, dad, he was quite concerned about me," I said as I began brushing my hair.
Robert put his hand over his mouth. How? How could he do this? And I was under the false impression that he was concerned about Elena. "Elena," Robert addressed her.
"Dad," Elena explained.
"I," Robert wanted to say, but was unable to do so.
