[EDITING]
For him, the whole world was on fire except her.
And he didn't let a single flame touch her.
For her, she herself was on fire.
And she protected the whole world from her flames.
Especially him.

DAMIEN'S POV
The pain and hurt I saw in her eyes were unbearable. Who could've ever had the audacity to even lay a fucking on Rhea...... my Rhea. When I walked through the door and saw her swollen cheek and her bleeding arm I felt like burning the whole world down. I wanted to force her and get the person's name out of her mouth. But I fought every urge to because I know right now I had to be with her then go after that sick fucker. When I heard her own mother did that, I was taken back by surprise but whoever the fuck it was, giving my Lia that much pain does not deserve to live in peace. So, here I am at her porch kicking the door to open.
"What the hell?" a man opened the door.
"Who are you?" It's not that I care but I wanted to know.
"John. And, if you are looking for Rhea she's not home"
"I'm here for Ella so get the fuck out of my way" I pushed past his shoulder and walked in. It doesn't take a genius to know that he's most probably Ella's cock sucker.
"Damien, what are you doing here?" Oh, good she's sober and she remembers me.
"What kind of world were you in to do that to Rhea?" I asked walking towards her.
"she's my daughter I can do whatever I want to do to her". A humourless laugh escaped my mouth. Fucking bitch have some mouth.
"No, you fucking can not! you will know that when a child protection officer come after you"
"You will not! and she deserved it" she said with gritted teeth.
"No, she did not! Just because your son shot himself and your daughter died of a car crash. It is not Rhea's fault and any good parent would get that through their thick fucking skull. And, don't you dare pin this on her. You failed as a parent. You have no fucking idea what she's putting herself through" I yelled bringing my finger up to her face. There was fear and shock in her eyes. And, I hate that she looks exactly like Rhea and I hate that she loves her fuck up of a mother so much, if not I wouldn't think twice of giving the exact same physical pain she gave to her daughter.
"Listen, boy, you have no right to co- " the dude grabbed my hand and I lost my shit. I punched him in the face and tackled him to the ground. He threw a few punches to my face and my lower abdomen but I didn't let him get through. I punched his face none stop until he was black and blue, blood dripping out of his mouth and nose. I ignored Ella's screams and never stopped punching the fucker. If I can't hurt Ella I will hurt her lover. He stopped fighting back and for a moment I thought he was actually dead but I got up from him when I heard whimpers. Ella dropped to the floor next to his body, tears filled in her eyes and no I don't regret it one bit.
"If you dare lay another hand on her, I wouldn't hesitate to break the rest of his remaining bones," I said pulling the back of her hair to look at my venomous eyes. I felt fucking satisfied when I saw the exact pain and fear in her like in Lia's eyes. I pushed her head down and walked out. I felt blood dripping from the corner of my lip and my knuckles bruised but fuck it was worth it.
