Chapter Twenty-Two

Hours later Cora was holed up in her room, angry at Viola for revealing everything she had wanted to keep hidden. She was glad Viola had stayed downstairs and left her alone to deal with her pain and anger. Liam had wanted to come with her, but she’d refused. She could feel him sitting outside her bedroom door, waiting for her to let him come to her and try to make her feel better. What he didn’t understand was there wasn’t any feeling better from the horrors she’d endured at the hands of those sadistic psychos. There was only pain, pain and more pain.

She curled up into a ball and cried at the memories that just wouldn’t go back into the box she’d kept them locked tightly inside of, until this morning. She’d felt disgusted as Viola went on her rant and kept praying her sister would shut up or that she was dreaming the entire horrifying scene, but of course, she was never that lucky.

“Cora, please talk to me,” Liam pleaded with her in her head.

“I can’t,” she responded with a sob.

“Why? Did I do something wrong?” Liam asked her, sounding frantic.

“No. You did nothing wrong. I never wanted you knowing any of that. I don’t want to see the look of pity or disgust in your eyes when you look at me,” Cora told him.

“I do not pity you Cora, and you will never disgust me. You are my world. I cherish you with all of my heart. All I want is to comfort and protect you. Please let me in so I can do that,” Liam pleaded with her. She could hear the truth of his words in his voice, both in her heart and in her head.

“I can’t Liam. I need you to understand that I need a little while to sort through this,” she pleaded with him.

“I am not leaving you to deal with this alone, Cora. You’ve done that too much already. Let me help you. Your pain is my pain, you are my mate.”

“How can you even want anything to do with me after everything you heard this morning?” Cora wailed with humiliation.

“None of that was your fault! None of it. I can’t fault you for things others inflicted upon you. You need to understand that. You are a beautiful person with a heart of gold. Even after everything you’ve been through, you can still love and see the beauty in the world. You are a miracle. My miracle,” Liam said, his passion flowing into her mind while the words made her melt inside because she had no doubt he meant what he told her.

“You weren’t there.” Was all she could say.

“I wish I had been because then you wouldn’t be hurting now. I would’ve taken you away from there,” Liam told her, his sincerity ringing loud and clear. She could feel his heart breaking for her pain and suffering, and it made her uncurl from her ball on the bed and unlock the door to let him in.
