Unloved and unwanted.
Wavel had always been their priority, and Sly was their first-born. And I was just…there.
My jaw clenched as the anger inside of me grew, and though I had so many things to say to his face, I kept it all inside and watched as he took a sip from the lemonade.
Watching him drink the whole glass satisfied me enough to just accept his cruel words.
He set the glass down with a scowl and a crunch of his nose. “Tasted better when it was freshly squeezed,” he muttered.
I wanted to tell him what he had just drank.
I wanted him to throw up from disgust.
I wanted him to tell me again how fucked up I was.
And I would believe it. Because I was fucked up.
And sick.
“I’m sorry I am your daughter and that I’m such a burden to this family,” I whispered.
And suddenly, I felt nothing.
No anger.
No hate.
Nothing.
You might as well be dead.
No.
There is one person who could save me, and I would do anything in my power to get him to be mine.
Mine.
ALL.
MINE!
Chapter 15
CAIA
I spent the last couple of days in my room, and whenever the others were asleep, I snuck out to eat and drink. I didn’t want to face any of them.
Not even Sly.
I needed to stay away from him to clear my mind, but the longer I didn’t see his face, the more painful the distance got.
It was dark when I decided to leave my room, and I headed straight to Wavel’s. I hoped she would be asleep. I needed to borrow something from her room.
I silently walked over to her bedroom door and opened it, and after making sure she was asleep, I went inside and tip-toed over to her closet.
Looking through her clothes, I found the white satin dress she so often wore. The one that made her look even more beautiful than she already was. It was her princess dress, and I wanted to look just like her.
I wanted to be like her.
