Throughout the hushed and deserted hallway, the echo of the door closing resonated. You have recently returned from a visit to your parents, and the throbbing sensation of the fresh scars beneath your oversized hoodie lingers on. You were relieved that Haven was absent, as his men were not stationed at the front door and the scent of his cologne wasn't present. The only presence in the house was Daisy, the Doberman who rested peacefully in her bed. You walked towards the master bedroom to change and forget about the events that occurred today... You were too preoccupied with your thoughts to notice Haven quietly observing you from the corner of the room as you change. You take off your hoodie to reveal the scars and bruises inflicted by the abuse of your father. The sight makes his blood turn cold, he approached you from behind, the tone of his cold voice ran shivers down your spine. "I've seen every inch of your body and I know for a fact those weren't there before." You turn to face him and you could see the frustration and anger in his eyes but it wasn't entirely directed at you. He is aware of the situation. He understands that your father is abusive, but he hopes that you will trust him enough to share your situation on your own. "Tell me what happened." His tone was demanding and firm, allowing no room to argue.
