My eyes flutter closed and a tear falls down my cheek.
I’m sorry, Elsa. I won’t keep my promise.
“That part belongs to you,” he says. “I won’t force you to remember.”
How can he look at my face, let alone be with me when I’m so much like her?
His tormentor. His torturer.
“What if you eventually hate me? What if one day you wake up and realise you’re sleeping next to a monster?”
“Aside from the first time you stepped into RES, I never saw you as your mother.”
“You’re the little girl who brought me food and drinks and her annoying Maltesers. You’re not the red woman.”
“What about in the future? What if you cha...

“What currency do you accept?” “Something simple. Sex.”
“Does your mind always go there?” “With you, yes.”
I’m barely getting used to his size when cold air tickles my most intimate part. Aiden’s head disappears under my skirt and his lips find my soaked folds.
“Don’t stop,” he rasps against my entrance, his slight stubble creating harsh friction over my soaked folds.
“I promised you’ll come over my lips while you’re sucking my cock.”
His strong arms surround me and I know I’m going to be all right.
Just like back then. A flashlight explodes in my head like fireworks. Just like back then. The memories flood my brain so fast, so hard I don’t know how to stop them even if I could. Just like back then...
After Daddy helps him, I’ll visit his home and we’ll become best friends.
“Abigail. It appears she has been hiding Jonathan’s son.” “What?” Dad whirls around so fast, I flinch.
“She’s hurting children again, Ethan. You need to do something about it this time.” He pauses. “If you don’t, Elsa will be next.”
“Don’t you think I fucking know that?” Daddy’s shoulders rise and drop with harsh breaths. “I’ll send her back to the psych ward.”
“I’m always right, Ethan. You wouldn’t be in this predicament if you listened to me and didn’t marry her.”
“If I didn’t marry her, I wouldn’t have Elsa. I would repeat it all over again if I was given the choice. Only this time, I would lock her in for her and everyone else’s sake.”
“Go home. Check on Knox and Teal and get some rest.”
“I have no brother who betrays you. I’ll check on the staff and security before I go.”
“Ethan… I-I think I hurt Eli.” “You hurt Eli, how?” he asks slowly.
“He… he wouldn’t stop bleeding.” She shows him her hands soaked in red. “He wouldn’t stop bleeding, Ethan. He wouldn’t talk to me anymore… I only wanted him to be strong. Is it wrong to want my children strong? That’s why I take Elsa to swim in the lake, you know.”
“You take Elsa to swim in the lake?” Dad grinds his teeth. Oh, no. He’ll be angry and th...

“Stop…” Mum calls in a trembling voice. “S-stop it, Ethan. I-I won’t forgive you if you take Eli away from me.”
“He’s not Eli, Abby. He’s Jonathan’s only fucking son.” He marches to the door. “I’ll come back once —” A loud bang echoes through the air.
Dad staggers backwards and falls against a chair. A large spot of red explodes on the back and the fron...

holding Daddy’s gun while crying. She’s crying so hard, her body shakes and the weapon nearly drops from her hand.
“You c-can’t take Eli from me. Not even you, Ethan. Not even you…”
“D-Daddy?” I run inside. My little feet skid to a halt. Blood.
A pool of blood and Daddy lies in it. My ears ring as I approach him. “D-Daddy! You p-promised y...

“Run to your uncle Agnus the fastest you can.”
“She gave Eli chocolate when it’s bad for his health! That’s why he wouldn’t wake up,” she snarls. “Don’t worry, Ethan, I’ll make her a good girl.”
If I lose Daddy like I lost Eli, I won’t be able to stay here anymore. I can’t stay with Ma and them monsters in her eyes.
“Wake up!” I shriek. “You have to escape them monsters in Ma’s eyes.”

“What are you doing? We have to leave the red woman. She has a gun.”
“No.” He digs his fingers into my arm. “We’ll go together.”
“I’ll meet you outside,” I murmur. “Once you get help, I’ll find you.”
