-MY PRINCESS-

"I'm so excited, I hope she likes these."
Marissa spoke excitedly while lifting up some paper bags which contains her presents for her daughter as they make their way towards the taxi, Matthew on her front, carrying their baggages.

"I'm sure she will, they will." He smiled at her sweetly that made Marissa's heart melt, she felt so lucky to have him in their life and she's more than glad that Francine accepted him as well so warmly.
She thought it would be hard for her but it's not, Francine welcomed Matthew in their life with open arms although she knew that there's still an awkwardness between them she knows that by time she'll get to use with this new life of theirs.

She suddenly felt sad when she remembered Thorn, she knows that Thorn doesn't even like the idea of their marriage and so them staying in their house but she won't give up, Thorn have a soft spot..she believed.

"Hey what's wrong?" She felt Matthew's warm hand on hers as she looked at him with a saddened expression.

"Nothing..hmm, do you think Thorn will accept us? I don't want to be the reason about the both of you fighting." Matthew leaned in to place a soft kiss on her forehead as she closed her eyes in contentment then he pulled her for a hug.

"He will so don't worry about that now and don't be sad, how about we call them? To check if their at home before we arrive."

Smiling at him, he took his phone out his pocket as he dialed Francine's number and after a moment she picked up.

"Hey sweetie." His arm wrapped around Marissa while she's looking up to him, her head resting on his chest.

[Hey..], A deep tone greeted him making Matthew clear his throat as he spoke again.

"Thorn? ..hey, son how are you? We've been calling you many times but you aren't picking up, why's that?"

[I'm fine..and my phone was off, sorry.] Matthew was a bit taken aback by Thorn's answer. Not because of the fact that his phone was off but for the word 'sorry' that slipped in his mouth, Thorn never says sorry to him after his mom's death he became different from the sweet and loving boy to a cold hearted bad boy that doesn't even care about the people around him.

"It's fine son.. I'm glad you're fine. So, why do you have Francine's phone?"
He heard shuffling sound and not so long followed by a soft thud.

[She's on the kitchen, eating.]

"Oh I see that's good th--"

[Dad..can I talk to you about something? And.. Marissa too.] He was cut by Thorn's sudden voice.

Without any hesitation he said 'yes' and he listened to the every words his son told them wholeheartedly.

This is the first time he open up to him.

Francine can't believe he just stopped her more like forbid her from going to work. She can't understand why he's doing that to her and those filthy things as well.

She can't help but to blush from the memory of him stroking in front of her in pleasure while feasting from her luscious body, she knew he was big even tho she didn't see it, and it's not like she want to see tho..
She convince herself.

It was covered with his towel but one thing that made her curious is the tattoo inked darkly and expertly in his right chest. It was big and almost covered his right chest but there's a little part of it that's a bit red and swollen that it looks like it's newly made. She didn't know what it is because it was a bit blurry and he's standing and moving that's why she can't see it clearly.

Shaking her head to remove the memories, she began to cut the cooked vegetables that's sitting in front of her before stuffing a mouthful in her mouth, chewing it slowly before gulping.

She stayed there with a frowning face while repeating the process.

He haven't came out his room after what happened and she's glad about it because she really doesn't know what to do if she sees him. She was mad about him and about the things that he keeps on doing to her.

She doesn't understand why he's doing those things to her because as far as she remembered they were okay.

After a moment, she finished her food then gathers her plate as she walked towards the sink to wash the dishes.

"You're finished?" Francine's body stiffened as she felt his warmth that's radiating on her body.
Too close she thought to herself and at the same time reminding herself to avoid him that's why she didn't answered and just focused on washing the plates.

"Are you avoiding me?" Seems like Thorn doesn't want to back away.

Turning around, she walked passed him to dry her hand with the towel without even throwing a single glance at him. Her heart is throbbing hard as beads of sweats starts to appear on her forehead.

She's nervous as hell.

She didn't stopped on her pace, walking towards the upstairs when she heard a loud knocked sound on the wall followed by Thorn's raging voice.

"Damn it!" He punched the kitchen wall roughly that made her jumped on her feet and hurriedly run to her room, locking it from inside.

"What was that.." she breathes while clutching in her shirt on her chest while breathing sharply.

She was scared of Thorn.

She discovered another personality of Thorn again and it seems like they're all going worse.

Looking at her nightstand she found her picture with her mother. She remembered at that time they were at the playground and she's so happy, she's wearing her favorite green dress and her long hair was styled in twin braid with vanilla ice cream on her hand. That is their first picture together that's why it's like her treasure.

She took the frame then gently caress it as droplets of water landed on the picture, by taking her free hand on her cheek she realized that she's already crying and soon it became sob.

"I miss you mom ..I wish you're here already.", She cried while hugging the picture on her chest.

She stayed like that for a minute when her phone buzzed from her bed.
Wiping her tears, she placed the frame back on her nightstand but it fell making the glass shatter into pieces.

"Oh my God!" She gasped in horror and suddenly picked the glasses up in panic but she held the last shard wrongly causing it to slice her forefinger.

"Ouch!" She winced as blood starts to drip down from her finger. She quickly went downstairs looking for some band-aid but she was caught by a pair of strong hands that made her spun around.

"Why are---what the fuck happened to your finger!?" Thorn didn't waited for her to answer by pulling her with him and he made her sit on the couch as he rushed to their bathroom getting the first aid kit.

He cleaned her finger thoroughly before wrapping a band-aid on the wound carefully.

"Mind telling me how'd that happened?" He sat beside her still holding her hand as she looked at him, biting her lips for answer then her eyes suddenly fell down on his bloody knuckle.

"Your hand.." she took his hand on hers as she examined it before Thorn pulled it away from her.

"Be careful next time.." he paused before standing up then walked towards the stairs but he stopped mumbling something that made her heart thump in an undescribable way.

"You made me worried as fuck ...

My princess."
