The reason why I keep my feelings for myself, is because I can’t explain them.

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

The first thing that Trisha realized after she saw her step sister was how pale Lise was. She looked barely alive, literally.

Her sunken eyes and the dark circles under her eyes she was desperately trying to conceal, couldn’t hide how depressed she was.

God...

Trisha couldn’t imagine what she had gone through under the hands of Gael McKeltar. She knew for sure that the man wouldn’t hurt her psychically, but it didn’t mean he wouldn’t hurt her mentally.

And from what Trisha witnessed now, it seemed it was the latter, coupled with the fact that they would get married in less than a week now. It was probably the reason why Lise looked so haggard...

She approached her step sister and hugged her tightly only to notice how skinny she became after the last time they met each other.

.....

“How are you feeling?” Trisha asked her, with concern in her voice.

Lise hugged her back and whispered something to her. “I need your help,” she said. Her voice trembled with fear.

“Tell me,” Trisha whispered back to her, burying her face in her long hair, so those bodyguards that were sent to keep their eyes on Lise, wouldn’t know what their conversation was about.

“I need you to buy me a pregnancy test kit.” Lise didn’t have much time or liberation to bring this up in a different way, thus she said it as what it was. She then felt Trisha’s body tense up in her embrace before she added softly to her step sister. “Please, don’t let anyone know about it.” She bit her bottom lip. “I feel like I am going to die...”

“Alright,” Trisha said immediately. She tried to collect herself and pressed down her anxiousness to feign a sweet smile on her lips when she released Lise’s body and put her at arm’s length. “You look so beautiful! You will be the most beautiful bride!” she said cheerfully.

Lise smiled at her and said ‘thank you’ in a low voice, just enough to make those guards feel relaxed and were not suspicious of them.

“Shall we eat something now? And after that, we will buy a few clothes.” Trisha linked her arms with Lise’s and strode inside the shopping center.

Since the announcement of the wedding of Gael McKeltar, which sounded too sudden, there were many reporters and news hunters who wanted to know more about his bride, Lise Allington.

However, Gael put a tight security around his bride and didn’t allow them to interview her.

It was fine to not meet anyone when Lise was at home, but now there were around twenty personal guards, who were waiting inside the shopping center to secure the area that she would go in.

Gael was crazy and he would do everything in his own sick way.

“Why are you here again?” Nikolai asked Blue when he finished his piano lesson. He found the little girl sitting on a chair behind him.

“You asked me to come to see you play,” Blue replied truthfully.

“But it was three days ago.” Nikolai tilted his head. “You will get in trouble if you skip math class again. Your parents will be angry if the teacher tells them.”

“I don’t like math. I like to hear you play the piano. And no one will be angry at me if I skip classes.” Those supernatural creatures wouldn’t care even if she failed a grade, maybe Anne would care...

Blue stood up and walked toward the door and Nikolai followed behind her.

“What about you? You always skip the class, too.” Blue looked at Nikolai as they walked down the empty corridor. She liked hearing him play the piano and since this musical room was in a different building, it tended not to have many people passing by.

“I have dispensation, I will take another math class later.” Nikolai walked beside Blue. The little girl was slightly taller than him and she looked like someone who feared nothing and this made Nikolai adore her, since he didn’t think he could be as bold as her.

“Are you hungry?” Blue suddenly asked, staring at him with a frown.

“Hhuh?” Nikolai could feel his face turning bright right when he heard what she said. He knew that his stomach had been grumbling because he had not yet eaten anything since this morning. “I am not really hungry,” he lied.

“Let’s eat something after school. There is a pancake store, which I always pass when I go to the bus station.”

This was always one thing that Nikolai wanted to ask her; why no one picked her up like other children.

“I don’t have money,” Nikolai said, lowering his head. He was embarrassed.

“I have money,” Blue said cheerfully. “I have enough money to buy a lot of pancakes.” Since those supernatural creatures had a lot of things to do to babysit her, they simply gave her a lot of money.

Moreover, Nikolai reminded Blue of a stranded puppy, which had no one to feed him.

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

“Here.” Trisha gave the test pack to Lise. After they ate, she left for the pharmacy and bought it for her sister. No guards would follow her, thus she was sure no one would know about it.

“Thank you,” Lise said in a low voice.

The two of them were inside the restroom and only here they could talk freely with each other, while those guards waited outside, preventing anyone from entering this restroom.

“Lise,” Trisha started, but she didn’t know how to continue. “Is it... Gael’s?” She knew it was a stupid question, but she just wanted to be sure about it.

Lise clenched her jaw tightly and nodded. Tears started to roll down her cheeks when Trisha hugged her tightly.

“I am scared...” Lise whimpered. “I don’t want to have his baby...” she didn’t want it, she hated that man.
