5 years ago.
St Xavier's Acedmy.
The laughter and the chatters of students filled the corridor as a small shadow walked
Queitly through the crowd. Her sleeves hiding the latest scars of her father's "lesson"..She's a ghost among the sharp and cruel smirks of senior boys
Heading just towards her. Elara,a small flintching thing, curled tighter in her self as she saw him Lucian Voss. Walking in the centre of the boys who seemed to have no other work then bullying and flirting with girls.."hey little mouse !" One of them called out for the little Elara.She flintched. Of course she did.
He approached her ,tugging her messy braid she'd braided herself because her mother was too busy in cursing her for existing"Yo, what's up huh?"the boy leaned closer with a smirk on his lips "missed me ,no?..wanna hang out tonight?huh?"he said, pushing her to the lockers"come on little ghost,say something?"Elara didn't. Just lowered her eyes and waited for it to end .
The other boy's phones were already up . recording every bit.
Lucian watched , looking utterly bored as he pulled out his phone "Let's go guys... she's boring.."
He said but the boy looked too interested in her collar "whoa, look at that!"his smirk widen into a grin as she trembled "didn't buttoned your shirt right ,huh?...wanted me to fix it ,no?"he said ,his hands reaching for her collar "come on ,baby..lemme —" as just he's inches away a hand grabbed the back of his collar sending him on the floor with a thud .
"Whoa ,what the f—man?—"
"What's wrong man ?—"
Elara , who'd squeezed her eyes shut ,her eyes snapped open only to find Lucian pulling his So -called friend up again and fixing his collar "I told you not to waste time on boring things bro..."he said like he's discussing weather "that's a boring thing..."he gave her a look and snapped his fingers at her "hey Elara ...get out of here .... you're too boring now.."
Elara fled. And pretended not see how he waited until she dissapeared as if making sure she's away of his vultures.
That evening. He found her in the darkest corner of the library, chewing on the end of her hairs. A habbit out of fear.
Present:
As soon Elara felt the hard chest of her husband ,She clutched him tighter "Love —love you're here !!I knew you'd be! I knew you'd —"
"Shhh..."her husband said, pulling her up. And like a little twenty years old baby girl she's,She instantly wrapped her legs around his waist and arms around his neck ,burying her face in his throat and nuzzled "I wasn't scared love !"she sobbed"I protected jelly! I told him not be scared!I wasn't scared!"
The man walked to the couch and sat on it while she's still glued to him.He settled her on his lap and brushed her soft pink cheek with his thumb "Of course you won't be scared ...Lucian Voss's wife isn't scared of dark,is she?"
she shook her head as he smiled . A smile that didn't reach his eyes "my good girl..my good stupid girl.."he kissed her. Hard and posessive.
She melted,as always. As He pulled away. Her lip was bleeding "tell me what did you do all day?"she buried her face in his chest again as she whispered "Nothing,love .. just waited for you "
Lucian smirked,kissing the top of her head "perfect....this is all you're ever suppose to do..."
