CHAPTER 23

　　Father And Son Arguing.

　　NATASHA'S POV:-

　　The next morning, I woke up screaming in that same bed. Although I didn't want Bryan to be anywhere near me, I was too scared that night to ask him to leave. For some reason, his existence around me was a little comforting.

　　I found myself alone in bed. I guess he had left at some point at night. Because the sun had only started to rise when I opened my eyes.

　　I crawled out of the bed and went toward the bathroom. I stepped my clothes off of my body and looked at my reflection. My pale skin was covered with bruises all over. But the one that Bryan gave me was the biggest. Or maybe it just looked to be that way because I got it from the man who had been whimpering to protect me all night long.
