Chapter 175

Biancha POV

Luna Kylie narrowed her eyes on my father. She assessed him for a long moment and said, “Okay, my warriors are around this house all the t Don’t think of escaping.”

“Yes Luna Kylie,” he replied. I could sense that he was shaking internally.

I left along with her, with Toren and Kael behind us. When we arrived in the main hall of the manor, Luna Kylie hugged me. “I’m so sorry for you were treated by your father. He’s a scumbag.”.

I hugged her back, feeling the warmth of being with a mother. It was a wonderful feeling for a girl who was deprived of motherly love for a lon time. “Thank you for helping me out, Luna Kylie,” I said, pulling myself away. “It means a lot.”

She smiled at me. “We’ll meet in the evening. Don’t go to them even if they call you. I don’t trust them.”

I chuckled. It’s astonishing how people who barely knew you loved you more than those who knew you their whole lives. “I don’t have any intentions of meeting them after what happened.”

“Good.” She kissed my forehead and went inside.

While Kael went to his room, I went upstairs to Toren’s room with him following me. “Bia!” he said, grabbing my wrist. But I was so angry with I twisted my hand and pulled my wrist away from his grip.

“Don’t talk to me!” I snapped and ran up the stairs. How could he let Ginny and Minnie touch him?

“Please Bia, listen to me.” He rushed after me.

I slammed the door in his face, but he opened it and came after me. “I don’t want to listen to anything from you!” I shouted, blinking away my tears. “How could you-” I just couldn’t take it anymore. The weight of what my father did to me and what I saw with Toren came crashing down broke into sobs. Seriously, I was an unwanted girl. Luna Kylie was doing everything for me out of kindness.

“Bia, there is nothing. Let me explain,” he said, touching my shoulder.

I flinched at his touch. Jerking away, I sank to the ground on my knees. “Don’t, Toren. Please. I don’t want to listen to your explanation because there can’t be any.”

He came to stand in front of me and went to his knees. As he faced me, he didn’t touch me and I could see pain in his eyes. “Bia, those girls are bloody scums. I went to the other room because your father asked and you agreed with him. Your stepsisters handed me a small satchel, saying it contains your things. Just as I was opening it to see what was there inside, Ginny pounced on me, and so did Minnie. I literally shoved them away. Then both fell on the floor, crying like victims. By that time, I heard you shouting and so I hurried out. That’s all. I swear, I didn’t touch them. Bu am so sad that I couldn’t get your satchel.”

I looked at him with tears in my eyes. “They have nothing that belongs to me, but I feel like you-” I sniffled. “Like you betrayed me.”
