Chapter 17- Bella's Past

"I was born without a father, he left my mother hours after my birth" she mumbled while hiding her face on my shoulder.

"Since that my mother decided she didn't want another child other than me"

"where is she now?" I interpreted.

"I'll get to that part in a bit, so anyway, my mother permanently ligated herself to not have any more children. She raised me well and i never had anything missing from me... up until the day I turned eighteen.." I felt her dig her face into my shoulder, she was really sad about all of this; before I could interrupt to tell her to stop she continued.

"S-she was taken away.." she said with a cracking voice.

"All i had l-left was the dress i wore t-the first day i met you.." that dress, if that was the only thing left of her mother then i shall make the maids renew it so it looks brand new, and so Bella has a good memory of her mother.

"S-she knew she was going to be taken away.. The night b-before, she sat down and told me everything s-she did for me w-when i was young.. everything from simple work to prostitution.." she said, crying a little louder than before. It was as if I could feel her pain, her sorrow, everything that hurt her.

"Do you know why she was taken..?" I asked while rubbing her back slowly.

"No, she just told me to stay strong when shes not here.." I couldn't take it anymore. Tears rolled down my face as I clenched her closer to me. At this point I can feel everything she is feeling.

"The l-last things she told me were what I was g-going to have to do in order to be an elites servant.. thats why I was prepared o-on our first night.."

I was speechless, all I could do at the moment was rub Bella's back and hope she calms down. Her crys for the loss of her mother really made me appreciate my mother a thousand more times. she was so broken. As i was rubbing her back I heard a faint breathing sound. I looked down and it was Bella, she had already fallen asleep, she must have been very tired to fall asleep in the middle of something like this. I slowly put her in a comfortable position and got up. My shirt was wet with Bella's tears, this was the first time i see her let go like this.

I changed into a white shirt with red shorts ready to go to bed. I lay next to Bella cuddling her as gently as i could to not wake her up. She was breathing normally again, her heart rate was back to a steady pace and her face looked calm and sleepy. It is 3am and I haven't fallen asleep, I hear Bella fast asleep but I cant stop thinking about what she said. They took her mom, but who? If I knew I would immediately send to get her wherever she may be. I finally started dozing off at around three thirty am. I gripped bella for her to not fall in her sleep or for me not to push her off by accident.

I slept as calm as ever with Bella, I remember having to make one of my mom's maids read me a bedtime story. I miss the days of being a kid and having no worries. I miss running outside in the garden grass not having to keep my shoes on. But this time I wish i could go back in time to be with Bella to support her through her tough times. I just wanted the very best for my little bunny girl.
