Chapter 13 - Scared Little Boy
This man is scared. He's terrified right now. A grown man who put me in my place so many times feels fear just like I do.
Raine Blake
If you loved me so much, why didn't you just try and approach me?
Casper Knightly
I didn't want anyone to see you with me.
Raine Blake
I'm sorry that I'm not rich like you.
Casper Knightly
No... I've got a lot of enemies around the world. If they knew what sentimental attachment I had on you, they'd most likely try and put you in danger.
Casper Knightly
I couldn't disrupt your high school years so I waited until you graduated.
Raine Blake
How thoughtful.
Casper Knightly
Cut me some slack, okay? I've never... been in love before.
I want to forgive him... a part of my heart does. But I can't show weakness. Not now.
Raine Blake
I want to be able to see Yuri.
Raine Blake
Stop being unreasonable! Yuri understands what I've been through.
Casper Knightly
And I don't? My father abused me my whole life and even killed my mother!
Casper Knightly
We all have father issues. Children are better off without one.
Raine Blake
No. It's just we hit the opposite of the jackpot when it came to father's. Shouldn't you be with your guests downstairs? I'm tired, I want to sleep.
I curled up, putting the blanket over my back. Casper sighed and then kissed me over the blanket before leaving. Hold on, did he really just leave?
No, Raine! Remember what he did to you! It was unnecessary and cruel. Don't think that one good action pardons the others.
Hopefully, I saved Yuri from going through Casper's wrath. I feel like I like him but I could never tell him that, not while Casper is here.
The next morning, Yuri met me outside of my room. He had huge bags under his eyes and seemed upset.
Raine Blake
He left me alone. For the night. What about you?
Yuri took hold of my hand and lowly brought it up to his cheek. He smiled so kindly at me.
Yuri Knightly
I'm glad that you didn't get hurt...
Yuri Knightly
I could have never forgiven myself if he had done something to hurt you. Don't worry, I'll get you out of here one day, I promise.
Raine Blake
Don't make promises that you can't keep, Yuri.
I pulled my hand from his grasp and started to walk down the corridor.
As I turned it, Yuri leaned against the wall, hopeless.
Yuri Knightly
I didn't want his blood either, you know.
I walked around the manor's grounds, running my hands along the bushes. The flowers that grew here were beautiful.
I leaned down and smelt a beautiful white rose. As I brought it up to my nose, I smiled as I smelt the sweet floral aroma.
From the window of his study, Casper looked down on me smelling the flowers.
Casper Knightly
Laurie, get a fresh bouquet of white roses put into Raine's room every morning.
Laurie Jackson
Boss, could I offer some advice? Your half-brother, Yuri, is kindhearted and gentle. Those qualities are found to be attractive. Perhaps if you could show Lady Raine your gentle side, she might slowly forget the feelings she had for Yuri.
Casper Knightly
I'm a monster in her eyes. No matter what I do will change that.
Laurie Jackson
I wouldn't be so sure. Lady Raine has been through a lot but she is human and she can learn to forgive. She doesn't know half of the trouble you went through to keep her safe from those debt collectors.
Casper Knightly
I don't want her to feel indebted to me. That's not how she is going to fall in love with me.
Laurie Jackson
You resemble Lady Amber very much.
