Episode 10

Clair considered responding seriously, it was a sensitive issue and she did not want to hurt her lady again.

-The young man spends all day in the room, only comes out when he needs something, just like today... He also comes out when Mr. Samael arrives and they usually have dinner together.

-Do they... share a room?

Dafne asked this with tears in her eyes.

-Yes.

-I understand, sorry for taking up your time, you can go back now.

The two bid farewell and she cried with nostalgia as she looked out.

The days passed as normal and she continued with her routine, until she wished to leave the place.

-Clair, can I go with you when you go shopping?

She hesitated and informed Samael, waiting for his approval, he allowed them to go with a guard, still fearing that she might escape. As they were shopping, she felt happy to finally go out, she bought many ingredients and treats, as she headed towards the car, she heard a small cry that caught her attention, she ran towards the place giving the impression that she was trying to escape, the guards following her quickly and seeing her standing next to a box, they grabbed her arm trying to drag her.

-Wait, I wasn't trying to escape!

She struggled but they didn't understand her until Clair arrived and seeing the situation, understood everything and ordered them to let her go. Dafne approached the box and found the bodies of some newborn kittens, she moved them and one of them meowed, seeing that one was still alive, she took it in her hands and with tears in her eyes looked at Clair.

-We need to take it to a doctor.

After taking it to the vet and everything turned out fine, she took the little kitten to her house and slept with it by her side.

With the kitten keeping her company, her days became more pleasant, her phone filled with photos of the little kitten that had recognized her as their human, her room filled with things for the kitten, she was giving it all the love she could.

One day while having tea in the garden, the kitten ran freely, she saw the young man with pink hair walking in the distance with a melancholic face, she couldn't help but watch him, the little kitten ran to where he was, the young man crouched and petted him with a smile. She, seeing him, felt a surge of anger and walked towards him with firm steps.

-Let him go.

She spoke to him coldly as she looked at him, the young man looked at her with a remorseful face and stood up.

-I'm sorry, I didn't know he was yours.

-Well, now you know, I hope you don't touch him again. I know you're used to taking things from others but I won't allow you to touch my cat again.

Pain crossed the young man's face, she was so angry and felt satisfaction in seeing him that way. After giving him a sharp look, she took the cat in her arms and left.

Clair saw everything that happened and sighed at the situation, but felt relieved that things didn't escalate, however, that night while Dafne was in her room playing with the cat, Samael burst into her room with an angry face. She jumped in fright and stood up.

-What are you doing here?

Samael didn't answer her but walked straight to the cat and grabbed it, Dafne was scared and tried to take it back.

-Give him back!

-For this insignificant thing, you made him put on that kind of face?

She was confused, but thought that surely the young man had complained to him.

-What? Did he complain to you? Look, I just told him not to touch my things, is that wrong?

He looked at her and noticed her scared and resentful face.

-It's just a cat, what's wrong with him touching it?

-It's mine and I don't like him touching it.

He approached her and grabbed her face with one hand while squeezing it tightly.

-Even if he were to desire the clothes you're wearing, you can never tell him no. Do you understand?

Then he pushed her, making her fall to the ground, she cried silently, not wanting him to hear her cry again, since she didn't respond, he left the room with the cat, leaving her immersed in darkness.

The next day, she heard someone knocking on her room door, as she opened it and saw the young man holding the cat with a red face from crying, she smiled sarcastically.

"Here, I never wanted this to happen, I don't know how he found out... I swear I didn't tell him."

She saw his body trembling and could see some kiss marks on his neck, he felt ashamed when he realized she was looking at him.

"You can keep him."

"Huh?"

He was surprised, really hoping she would accept him because it was clear how much he loved the cat.

She started taking many things out of the room, he just watched in disbelief.

"You can take all these things, I bought them for the cat. I guess they all belong in your room now."

"No, I just came to bring him back, the little one didn't stop crying all night, he was scared."

She looked at the little cat who was staring at her intently.

"I guess it's not my problem anymore, now the cat belongs to you."

After saying this, she closed the door and got into her bed while crying. She wanted to spend the whole day locked up, but was then taken out of her room by the maids, so she just walked to the greenhouse where she laid down and cried all day without even tasting a bite of food.
