Can A Demon Be a Father?

Chapter 35

(Johanna's POV)

"How could such a crule man, raise someone as sweet and kindhearted like you?' Edward asked, bringing tears to my eyes.

"...I just did my best to avoid him whenever I could. Although I was trapped in those god forsaken four walls. I hoped and prayed that someday id escape and find a true family. But I had no idea what that bastard put my father through."

Edward gave me a sad look, "No wonder your father is so serious and gloomy. I can't imagine how hurt he must have been and how torn up inside he is. And now with this whole Pipa situation.."

I quickly wiped away the tears that were about to fall and looked up at him.

"Please Edward, whatever happens I need to know that..you wont abandoned us. Ive lost so much already..I cant risk losing my parents, my brother, my little sister...or you.'

Without saying a word, Edward took me into his arms and held me. I got that feeling again, that same warm, safe, loving feeling.

"I'm not going anywhere,...my angel."

In all my life no one had called me an angel. Or made me feel the way he did. I was falling for him, and there was no turning back.

Pushing away my fear, my sadness, my worry, I made an incredibly bold move. I reached up, put a hand to his cheek, wrapped my arms around his neck and brougut his lips down onto mine.

I was more than delighted when he held onto my waist and kissed back.

God his lips were so soft, I could feel myself melting and my knees becoming weak. But someone clearing their throat behind us made that beautiful kiss in end.

"What the hell is going here?!"

We turned around to see that it was my Dad! And from what I could see his crule black eyes held so much anger, I could've swore I saw them turning red.

"Dad..it was just a kiss' I said trying to defend myself and Edward.

"Excuse me young lady, but you're 16 fucking years old! You have no business kissing, you're not allowed to kiss!"

"I'm allowed to do things! I'm allowed to like someone, and I'm allowed to have a damn life outside of the chaotic one that we live!" I snapped.

My father balled up his fists and berated heavily through his nostrils. So heavy that his whole body seemed to he shaking.

"Mr. Todd please, We didn't mean any disrespect but you should know that I have very strong feelings for your daughter."

I gasped at Edward's words and how brave he was being.

"..Get out of here! And the hell away from my daughter! I'll be damned if I'm going to lose her to my assistant!"

With that said dad grabbed me by my arm and pulled me away from Edward.

"No Edward Please don't leave" I begged.

"Move your ass boy! Don't make me say it again!" Dad practically screamed.

"...Yes sir, I apologize for the trouble I've caused...Goodbye my dear Johanna" Edward said before he began to walk away.

"No...No please!! Edward don't go" I begged.

"In my shop, right this instant!" Dad snapped before practically dragging me up the stairs.

But as he did I looked back and saw Edward standing on the other side of the street. He was waving..and he was crying. I could feel my heart braking as he disappeared from my view. I was losing him all thanks to my father's greed.

I glared at him as he pushed me into his shop and closed the door behind him.

I was in for a lecture but I wasn't about to take it without a fight!
