Chapter 71 Happiness

After Mrs. Carrington was taken away, Edward and I stood there for a while, both of us lost in our own thoughts.

“Come on,” Edward said after a while, leading us back to his bed room where we sat on the couch. “I don’t like what she did to me at all. Neither do I like to see her suffering like this.”

“I know,” I said. “You have always loved and cared for your mother. That is not going to suddenly change because you found out that she tried to ruin your life.”

“She ruined my life. After everything that happened, I will never be seen the same way again. Even though the world knows that I was trapped, the nude photos are not going anywhere. Anyone can always look them up. I feel naked all the time now and I wonder if I’ll ever get used to it. It breaks my heart that my mother participated in it and yet I don’t want to be too hard on her. I have no idea what I will do.”
