It's been exactly one month and five days. I was sent to a mental institution for self-harm. Candice was seeing someone and we all missed thanksgiving. I had nothing to be thankful for. My life for the past month has been living hell. I couldn't hold Allison's baby. I couldn't go to the store without having a mental breakdown and the worst part of all this is that I had no one.

August was busy with his life and when he was by me, I told him I was fine. I didn't want Hades, I didn't want any of my brothers or Mr. Black. I wanted my life. I want to go to the store without a doubt. My sister made everything worst when she broke down. She blamed herself for not protecting me, for not being my big sister, and to say our bond strengthen would be an understatement.

I was currently at the beach. It was raining and I was sitting on a rock with the waves crashing at my feet. It was ten in the evening and I found myself driving off too El Matador or Malibu for serenity. The beach was always my happy place growing up in New York, we never had that luxury so when I came to California. I made sure to enjoy it.

"Princess."

"Hi." I didn't turn. I stared ahead at the dark blue sea. It was wild and free, everything I wanted to be.

He put his jacket over my shoulders. "Before you send me to my sister, listen to me." I nodded. "I missed you. I missed your shy, free, and happy personality."

"I can't be who I was," I told him. "I was damaged goods before, now..." I sigh. "Now I'm just damaged."

"Still having nightmares?"

"No. They stopped. It's the voices inside my head." I said. He pulled me up from behind. Damage or not, this man's touch still affects me. His scent still touches my heart and his overwhelming power still made me feel safe. He pulled me into his chest and thank god for the darkest because blushing in this situation wouldn't be good. We stood like that for a while. "Stay tonight?"

"Come on."

He leads me to his car and told the driver my home location. I laid my head on his shoulder and we drove in silence. The voices in my head were quiet. He was my antidote. He could save me but if he left, I would be damaged beyond repair. We took the elevator up to my apartment as soon as we reached the apartment building.

"I-my apartment." I started. "I haven't cleaned in forever but the room is clean." he didn't reply and it didn't bother me much. It was his way of saying its fine. I unlocked my door and immediately I was ashamed.

My company was the lovely bottle of Jack Daniels and his friend, Gin. I didn't want to remember and the more I tried to drown the sorrow, the more they floated up. I had papers, everything was everywhere. August didn't come in anymore, neither did Matt. I wanted no one by apartment because my apartment showed the state I was in. And I was messed up. My emotions were everywhere and I didn't want to talk to a doctor. I didn't want to go through that again.

"Princess, go undress." He leads me to my bathroom as if he's been here many times.

I entered my bathroom and avoided the mirror. I took a short shower and face the one thing I wanted to avoid. I stood in front of the full-length mirror. My body suffered a lot. I lost more kilos in these few weeks than I did going to the gym. You could see my bones, I was just skin and bones. The bruises were taking forever to heal and my fractures were okay unless I bent in a wrong way or did the heavy lifting.

My round face was now thin and pale. My red pinkish lips were now colorless. My bright striking blue eyes were dull and lifeless. I wasn't myself and everyone who saw me knew this. I stayed inside during the day and went out at night. The media have been hounding the front door to catch me in my sunken state. They want me out of Lucifer's life so badly that they are willing to destroy my image and reputation. When they heard I resigned from Devil's Tech, they were convinced that we broke up.

Scarlet was running my department until a replacement comes along. I couldn't be in an office or focus on work when I could barely take care of myself. I resigned because I thought I was going to die, that if I ended my suffering everything would be okay. I sigh and pulled on one of Mr. Black's sweatshirts and shorts.

I walked into my room and he was already under the covers on his phone. I got in next to him and laid my head on his chest. He locked his phone and pulled me closer to him. "Candice, is she okay?" I asked breaking the silence.

"She's back to her old self. She scares quickly now." He said. I didn't say anything. Candice and I haven't met up in a while and I didn't want my friend to see me like this. I was happy for her. I was happy that my father couldn't taint her soul as he did mine. "Rosella, you need to stop whatever you doing."

"I can't run from my past. He had me taken to a room." I told him. "This was the first time, Candice and I were separated. My arms felt like Jell-O. This guy, Rickie, was our guard and he brought hell to earth." He started making circles on my back. "He took me to my father and he planned to rape me." I stayed quiet for a few moments as the pictures ran through my brain. "He was going to do it again and if it wasn't for Candice, he would have succeeded. I asked him why me? All those years and he said it was I was beautiful, sexy, gorgeous, and a lot like my mother. Things my sister didn't have and he said something that chipped my soul even further. My innocence. I went through a lot in life and the one thing I held on to was my innocence."

"You shouldn't let him determine how you want to live your life, Princess. Innocence isn't all that. I lost mine at a young age and I never seek it. Why would I? It doesn't determine who you are."

"He said that's the only thing men saw in me. And he was right. Ben had a wife, which he hid. She was everything but she was tainted. He wanted Candice but Candice didn't have that innocent beauty as I had. It is the same reason why you and Chris want me."

He stopped his circling motion on my back and moved in a way that he could see my face. I sat up straight to make it easier for him. "You have to be fucking kidding me." He was angry. "I don't give a fuck about your innocence." He grabbed my face and pulled it towards him. "I care about your caring personality, I want you for your beautiful personality. Being surrounded by murderers, psycho killers, it becomes a habit seeing everyone in a Black and white way but you change it for me. You bring color to my life. Not your fucking innocence."

I fell into his chest and cried. I cried for my life. I cried for the fact that I was so traumatized that I couldn't sleep. I cried for all the food, I could no longer digest. I cried for the nights I laid hoping someone would save me from the hell I grew up in. I cried for my brothers, my sister, my friends and most importantly, I cried for myself. It was a relief, having that mountain wash down in tears. It felt good, letting everything out.

I try so hard to move on with life. To not have my father over my head as a dark cloud. But I can't, not anymore. I can't move on and build my wall again to only have him break it down. Lucifer makes me want to fight, to stand up and work on myself. He makes me want to fight and live.

"I'm so scared," I admitted to him and myself. "I want to move on, Lucifer. I do but I'm afraid my father would destroy that. That one day he'll come back and I might not recover from that." I moved closer to him as if to assure myself, he won't disappear. "I don't want to get attached to you and then you leave me. I won't survive that."

He pulled me on top of his lap. "I have a house in the woods near the Californian mountains. I want us to go. I will never leave you, Rosella. You and my sister are the most important females in my life."

"I'll go and I'll try. I know I'm not on my best but thank you for coming with me." I gave a sarcastic laugh. "I should be used to this by now, eh."

"Sleep, Princess." He laid me next to him and we moved into a cuddle position. "Thin, fat, ugly or beautiful. You'll always be my queen." he kissed the side of my neck before pulling me closer.

Snowy meowed in agreement and I was content. At that moment, my cat curled up at my feet, someone I like comforting me, I was content. I haven't had that feeling in a while and I took it as a reminder that maybe, just maybe, there is hope for me.

And for the first time, I slept peacefully. The future didn't seem so dark anymore and all that's bad washed away in the arms of my Mr. Black. It's like nothing bad can ever harm me while I have him and that is what I kept on to. I held on to that idea and hoped because that's all I have. That's all I'll ever have is hope and the idea of safety.
