Villainess in his shower

"Regina locked me in a storage room when I was eight." She spoke up out of the blue.

"Regina?" He stared at her for ages before finally realizing who she was talking about. "Your stepmother."

"Yes." She sighed after getting it off her chest. "I can't say I blame her. Her husband cheated on her and expected her to raise her mistress's child. If I were in her situation, I cannot be certain that I would love my husband's illegitimate child either."

He held her hand. "But you were not at fault. Is that why you are terrified of tiny spaces?"

She nodded. "I trusted her and that made it more traumatizing. I couldn't figure out what I did wrong to make her do this to me." She took deep breaths. "My aunt saved me from the torture."

"Kara," He knew where it was headed as soon as she mentioned her aunt.
