I was bred for war, darling. Be it love or chaos. Everything I do is to the death.

******************

“She is not my daughter!” Issabel shouted back at her, gritting her teeth.

It was true that Lise was not her daughter, she married Lise’s father when she was only five years old and Trisha was seven.

Though she didn’t treat her poorly, but her daughter still would be her number one priority, she didn’t really care about what Lise wanted, as long as she could live in peace and her daughter was in good hands, and she could get all the things that she wanted, then everything was fine with her.

Including to let Gael McKeltar do whatever he wanted to that girl.

At first, she was furious because the young wealthy man wanted Lise instead of her daughter, but after seeing how miserable Lise’s life was, Issabel was grateful that it was not her daughter instead.

Needless to say, the man must have a weird fetish...

.....

“Mom!” Trisha warned her mother. Her eyes widened in disbelief. Those were the cruelest words that she had ever said toward Lise. “You can’t say something like that!”

“I will not take it back,” Issabel hissed as she walked into the house and slammed the door shut, until the momentum rattled the door frame.

If Trisha took her phone, it didn’t mean she couldn’t call Gael. There were a lot of ways to tell him about his little girl’s misbehavior.

Meanwhile, Trish could only stand frozen in place, staring at the closed door in disbelief when Daniel came to her.

“What happened?” he asked when he noticed Trisha’s gloomy expression, but then he realized something. “Where is Lise? She is inside, right?”

And without waiting for Trisha’s answer, he rushed into the house. He would be dead if Gael knew he lost the girl. It was already a mistake for him to bring Lise to this house.

===================

“This is a mistake,” Lise mumbled when Sol drove them away from her house and she finally realized what Issabel said was true.

Gael wouldn’t hurt her, she was his obsession after all, but he would do something to hurt Sol and that way she would be hurt the same.

“This is not a mistake,” Sol said, gritting his teeth upon seeing how frightened Lise was. Just what the f*ck had they done to her until she became like this?! He simply couldn’t imagine what kind of life she had been through these past two years. “You are safe with me, okay?”

Sol reached out his hand and grabbed Lise’s tightly. He hoped it was enough to calm her down, even a little bit.

However, he was wrong. Lise was crying harder, as she shook her head. “You don’t understand, I need to go back...” she cried in anguish and started hyperventilating.

At first, Sol didn’t believe that she had such symptoms, because the Lise he knew was a girl as bright as the light of the sun. She was the most cheerful person that he had ever met.

No matter how much pain Sol was in, just seeing her smile for once was enough to assure him that everything would be all right, that there was still a beautiful thing in this despicable word.

Sol liked Lise because she knew the secret to smile no matter what the circumstances, but it didn’t seem like the case this time.

“Lise? Lise?” Sol was worried, he had to pull over, but he couldn’t just stop on the highway. “Breathe, Lise, Breathe.”

It was hard to not panic in this kind of situation, because as soon as she heard what he said, her whole body started trembling and she squeezed his hand so tightly, indicating how much it pained her.

Sol immediately took a left turn when he saw a rest area sign and once he deemed it was safe enough to stop, he removed the seatbelts that bound him and Lise.

He walked out of the door and opened the car door beside her, she needed space and air. And with one swift move, he gathered her into his arms. The girl was shaking uncontrollably by that time.

“Lise, I am here, you are fine, no one will hurt you,” Sol said tenderly, cupping her face with his palms, as he coaxed her to look at him.

Her eyes were unfocused and she kept looking at her surroundings, afraid that that particular person, who caused this fear would appear out of nowhere.

It pained Sol to see her like this. His throat tightened.

“Lise, look at me, look at me... don’t be like this...” He didn’t care about the other passersby, who were staring at them. He thought they would haul him to a nearby police station if Lise did not immediately hug him and cried her heart out.

“Take me away, Sol...” she said between her sobs. “Take me away from here... I don’t want to be here... I will die if you let me go back to that place...”

She wrapped her arms around his body tightly, as if her life depended on it. Or maybe it was...

Lise didn’t want to go back to Gael. She didn’t want to be with him anymore. It was a torture and even though she was not bleeding, she was dying...

==================

Blue was sitting on the back seat, while Knox was driving her back home, since Chaos didn’t spare her a glance before he disappeared again after he claimed the shattered soul.

“Hey.” Knox broke the silence inside the car. “I like it when you don’t talk, but I just want to know that you are still sane.”

Knox glanced at Blue. Her face was pale and she lowered her head, playing with her thumb.

There was no answer.

“I am talking,” Knox said in annoyance. This was supposed to be Chaos’s job. “I know what you saw earlier was terrifying, but it was...”

“Why does he have to crush his heart?” Blue finally spoke, she lifted her head and looked at Knox straight in the eyes.
