237 Damian's Punishment

Scar pouts the hardest she can, trying to not cry in front of him. But despite her effort, wronged tears spouting out of her eyes.

She wants to, but she couldn't utter any of these out. In front of her is a man she has met less than ten minutes. While she knows he is her big brother, he is a big unknown to her. Not to mention all the times that she has met him were horrible or worse.

"I'm sorry, little one. I know, I came too late. I'm really, really sorry..." Not urging anything out of her, Damian just pulls her into his arms, locking her tighter as she struggles until she finally gives in and bursts into tears.

Never a second in his life has he ever thought about denying Scar neither her parents nor her rightful heritage. But he did do what he did, and he got his
