Tom POV:

"Tom can we talk about something important please?" I looks over at her and nods slightly, she takes a deep breath in, "umm so before we get married I have something important I need to tell you and you need to know before the wedding."

I looks at her expectantly so she just blurts out, "umm my parents are abusive physically and mentally, I know you were looking at the amount of makeup I am wearing today earlier, and I'm wearing it to cover up the bruises from my father." She just blurts out and I get up, walking away leaving her there. I go to my father and see him talking to her parents. I know that despite my fathers issues with us he would never raise his hand to either of his kids, and I know how he hates it when anyone around him would be abusive to their kids, especially a daughter.

I know he hates it when I interrupt a meeting but at this moment I don't care, I need to talk to her parents and asking whether or not that its true and that they don't abuse my fiancée, I never thought I would be this protective over someone, but seeing how scared she was to tell me really affected me, I would never tell her that though.

My father looks over at me and says, "Tom, were in the middle of a meeting, can this wait?" I look at him and he can tell by my face that this can not wait, "what is it Tom?"

I look over at her parents, specifically her father, "she's just told me something rather interesting about your family, particularly how she's treated at home, when you're not here and not being observed by my father." I watch their faces drop and immediately know they know about their abuse towards their daughter.

My father looks between us before addressing all of us, "what is going on?" Her father immediately tries to deny the claims to him by saying, "nothing my lord, your son is making up lies about our family." Before I can get a word in my father snaps back, "my son is no liar and I don't appreciate you insinuating that in my own home."

They both shrink back into their seats and my father looks over at me and gestures for me to sit down next to him, opposite her parents. "Father, when we got her dress we went to a café so we didn't interrupt the meeting but she told me she had to tell me something important before the wedding. She told me that her father abuses her which is why she was wearing so much makeup this morning, she was hiding the evidence of the abuse. When we were there she went to order a cake but stopped herself and I can only assume because she never told me that but I think it's verbal abuse, constantly being told she's fat and needs to lose weight."

My father looks at her parents, "is this true? Do you abuse your daughter?" Their faces say everything that he needs to know. My father (strangely calm) addresses me, "go find your fiancée and bring her to me, I want to have a word with her."

I nod my head and immediately return to the café but she's not there, I look around for her but can't find her. Oh god, where is she?

Evelyn POV;

He walks out of the café with anger burning in his eyes, why did I tell him? I just blurted it out, he needed to know. I feel like the wedding might be cancelled now so I head over to the bridal shop to return my dress and veil.

As I'm walking to the shop I bump into dome one and look up at them muttering, "I'm sorry." Before realising it's Tom, he looks relieved to see me before pulling me into a tight hug, with his arms wrapped tightly around my waist. "Thank god you're safe doll. Where were you going?"

I look at the bag in my hand and he follows my gaze, "were you going to return your dress?" I nod my head, "I thought you wanted to call off the wedding once you learned about what my parents did. They told me that no one would believe me if I told and that umm no one would ever love me because I'm just broken."
