My Only Redemption ✔️ [COMPLETE]

Chapter 37

My father. He loved women. Adored their whole being. To him, women were a rare fine dust from the stars that once graced the sky. They were beings of light that shone through the dark blankets of the night.

"Desperate to help the lost men on earth, the Lord gifted each with a bright light to guide them in their journey of life."

That's what he believed.

His one in many reasons of why he took on two wives, none of which were my own mother. Wives who would give him sons and nothing but sons to continue the surname. Continue and expend not only his lineage but his precious empire.

That's what my father believed in, what he wanted to see through.

But then I happened.The only daughter out of five sons.

Like the fine star dusts that were gifted to men, I expected to be cherished by my father as his one and only gift of light.

But all I received was dirt to the face and a gun thrown my way to become a dog in his empire.

My father, he loved women. Adored their whole being. They loved his power, his empire, his wealth...

Serenity

It was a cold, foggy, and rainy evening in Italy. I was currently in a local café drinking a warm cup of tea whilst looking out the window. This café has been my safe place ever since I arrived here and because of this, I didn't have much friends.

I lift the cup to my lips feeling notes of a distant accordion entering my mind, whispering into my soul -- pushing deeper.

I used to think that love was a myth, something made up for little girls and little boys. I used to think love could not possibly exist, not really. When people swear they love each other but only lie, cheat, or leave.

Everyone has different meanings for it, some use it as just a word an empty word which can also act like a sword, piercing through porcelain hearts, breaking them completely and only for those unlucky enough to actually go through the struggle of putting the pieces back together.

Others perish, they drown in their own blood from all the cuts they got for trying to piece it back together.

I perished at a fraction in my life, I couldn't get myself back together so I got selfish --- when I said, when one of us fall, we fall together. I'll drown you, drown you in my sorrows, drag you by the feet into my broken world, my broken soul.

Trying to get the eyes of everybody and scream for help without having a voice. I had this knot in my very heart that I could no longer untie, I get lost in my own self trying to find the way out so desperately.

But it took me by surprise. I may have known it just then but when I met Glenn, I saw him. I mean like really saw him. I could see the tenderness in his eyes when he looked at me.

I could see through the exterior, knowing that if I gave my heart over to him, that it would be handled with care.

His humor was so different and when we laughed together, it was something to hold onto to.
