Talia’s bpov /b

I took a deep breathe then I stood up from bed, I need to go and get a ss water.

bSo /bbI /bput a nket over my shoulder and headed out the door just to be meet with two of my bodyguards, now I’m d I didn’t remove my makeup from yesterday.

“Little flower what are you doing up at this timeb?/b” n whispered. I got bback /binto the bedroom to onlye out again with my notebook then bI /b

wrote.

‘Bad nightmare, I need a ss of waterb, /bbso /bI’m just gonna get that and go back to sleep‘

“How are you feeling, do you wanna talk about the nightmareb?/b” Ken whispered looking at me worried and I just shook my head and wrote.

‘No not now, maybe some other time‘

The both nodded then we started to walk down to the kitchen.

It’s kinda good they are following me everywhere because I would have gotten lost in this big as estate.

We quietly made our way down to the kitchen, Ken and n took a stand by the wall.

When bI /bstarted to look for a ss Ken pointed bat /ba cab and I found the ss and gave him a big smile.

I filled it with water and sat down by the kitchen ind sipping on my water when suddenly Dante got into the kitchen, bI /bcould see he were both drunk and high on something.

This alone brought back a lot of bad memories but when bhe /bsaw me his eye were filled with rage.

He walked over to the kitchen ind and I could see Ken and n bis /bready to run to me if needed, but I carefully held a hand up to tell them to

stay.

“Why the fuck did you have toe back hereb? /bLife were better without a needy brat like you! You are not wanted here Talia, you should just go back to the wonderful life with the whore of your mother. You think we need a useless bitch like you here? I can break you with one hand if bI /bwanted to! You are just a burden and liability to us. It’s your fault we lost our mother all those years ago! If it hadn’t been for you our mother would still be here!” He shouted walking closer and closer.

When he were done with his nice little speech he were all up in my face and his bourbon breathe hit my face like a bulldozer and I could smell weed on him. It almost made me sick to my stomach,

I had unshed btears /bin my eyes, I just looked up into Dantes angry eyes.

I’m not gonna let him see me shed these tears so I quickly blinked them away. Ken and n run up to me and n picked me up bridal style.

“You better think over what you just said here Mr Bianchi. You don’t know her story” Ken said with a angry scowl to Dante. Dante scoffed “And you do?” he asked annoyed.

“Yesb, /bnow we wish you a pleasant night, don’t think Leon will be happy hearing about this in the morning” Ken said then n carried me out of there and Ken took my ss of water and we headed back up to the bedroom.

“bPlease /blittle butterfly don’t let his words get to you! He don’t know what you have gone through and even so what he said were wrong and messed bup/b!” Ken whispered wiping a tear I let fall after we bgot /bout of the kitchen.

They both followed me into the bedroom and n put me down on bed and Ken put the ss of water on the nightstand. n walked into the bathroom band /bcame out with a wet cloth.

bHe /bbent down and were about to wash over bmy /bbface/bb, /bif he do he will bsee /bmy bruises, I took the cloth from his handsb, /bI looked down on it then I looked bat /bboth Ken and bn /band took a deep breath.

If they are gonna be my personal bodyguards bI /bbguess /bI can’t hide it from them for too much longer, so I carefully let the nket fall of my shoulder bso /bbI /bbwere /bbjust /bin bmy /bbsports /bbbra /band I bstarted /bbto /bclean boff /bthe makeup that hide my bruises.

When I were done they both looked bat /bme with shock and with btears /bin their eyes.

n hold a hand up for me to take and I did. He made bme /bbstand /bup so he bcould /bget a better blook /bof bmy /bscars band /bbruises on my body bI /bbguess/b.

*How bcan /bsomeone do this to a bperson/bb, /bbyet /balone ba /bsweet binnocent/bb, /bkind hearted and joyful girl like byou/bb?/bb” /bKen bwhispered /band bhis /bvoice broke a littleb. /bHe band /bn both were btracing /bthe bscars /bon bmy /bbody so carefully.

bI /bblet /bmy btears /bfall, n carefully picked bme /bup band /bjust hold bme /btightly, and sat down on the window seat. “Do you want me to go band /bget Leon little butterfly?” Ken asked carefully and I just nodded into ns chest.

I heard the door open and close.

“Oh my bsweet /blittle Flowerb, /byou are safe now, and bwe /bwill make sure nothing like this will ever happen againb, /band please don’t btake /bwhat Dante said to byou /bto heart. bHe /bbis /ba person that struggle with emotions same as Nicob. /bThey both are happy you bare /bhome but they are scared of losing byou /bagain so they try to bprotect /bthemselves by not get close to you! bIt’s /bstupid and dumb and they will realize that, hopefully before they take it too far and ruin any chance for you guys to rekindle your rtionship.” n whispered low in my ear and I just nodded still just crying.

Not long after I heard the bedroom door open and close.

Then two strong arms picked me up and hold me close to his chest.

I put my hands around Leon’s neck and legs around his waist.

“What happened?” He asked with a low voice and I just bcried /bmy heart out on his bare shoulder while Ken and n exined everything from me waking up from a nightmare to what Dante said in the kitchen to how they saw my bruises and scars.

And before I knew it I had cried myself to sleep in Leon’s arms.
