His loving and caring side was so foreign and caught me off guard. After he cared for my injuries, fed me and gave me water we both just laid there in a comforting silence engulfing us both to make up for the distilled silence of the environment. All the peace and contentment was interrupted when I heard the wretched man's voice again like a ringtone ringing in my ears. "I apologise sweetly and I will alter the circumstances of this punishment as I myself have seen that it is too severe. You will still have a dietitian but hopefully nowhere near this restricting your diet and I have other news to share but I fear it will make you hate me even more than you already do.
But I suppose I just have to bite the bullet with this one so basically as a new edition to the Spanish royal and mafia family you need to take up a traditional form of dance out of respect and as a female it is your duty in the kingdom. You will be starting to learn Ballet tomorrow and before you say anything there are no ifs and buts you must. I understand you may not desire to but unfortunately you have no choice in the matter so at 1pm you are expected at your first Ballet training session tomorrow where your private coach will evaluate you and move on from there. You are expected in 2 months to perform your routine of dance to the family as also apart of our heritage so it will be extremely tough to be training so hard but when you do just know it is for your history and heritage to continue and remember than many before you have done it so you are adding to this families beautiful legacy throughout the centuries and generations."
I sat there star-struck like the coward I was in the moment. Ballet. Ballet out of every single type of dance in existence I have to do this one. "Did you get a say in the type of dance I had to do" I felt like I already knew the answer to this question because he seemed like just the man to do his absolute best to make my life a living hell in every way possible. "It might take you by surprise but no I am not the person who decides. But remember sweetheart, getting to do Ballet is like the highest honour and I hope you do so with pride every step of the way."
This actually shocked me quite a bit that he was not in charge of this but I took it as a blessing in any case but I prayed that god give me strength for tomorrow in my Ballet journey. "Um alright then so I assume that I have no way out and there is no backing out them?" "Yes sweetheart you are correct there is no backing out with this one but I know like everything else in life you will be amazing." His usual cold demeanour had kind of faded off and he was much more soft shell in the moment so I was using it to my advantage whilst it lasted. I was dwelling in my thoughts when without thinking I blurted out. "Can you please stay tonight? I am having tulle sleeping alone and I am in a lot of pain tonight". I was trying to capitalise on his guilt but for the life of me I have no idea why I chose to wish for this but it seemed to please him which was a brownie point for later I suppose.
He laid back down in peace and carefully tucked me under his arm as he wished me goodnight. I was swept into the world of darkness once again but for once was unusually not able to succumb under it. I peeked my eyes open to get a glimpse of the environment and I noticed to my side that we were laying in the same position we were when we started sleeping and I wondered what time it is. In my corner vision I also noticed him looking up wide-eyed just gazing up at nothing at the ceiling. "Whatcha doing". He seemed surprised with my sudden presence and just whispered faintly at me as if I was a baby. "Nothing much, just could not sleep. I am assuming the same for you?" I just nodded, still confused. "Come on get up" he said as he slowly pushed me away and I was momentarily saddened which I think slipped under his radar which was good because the last thing I need is him thinking I am a clingy annoying diva.
