I still can't believe that Aiden bought all the items that were in the boutique and now we are in another shop.

It appears to be a clothes shop as it only showcases and holds dresses of all kinds as well as other types of clothes. Aiden insisted that I should try on the dresses but I declined him. He persisted and it only took me a while before I hesitantly agreed. He beemed before he called a saleslady and told her to let me try all the dresses and to have a dressmaker in line to measure my body.

It's safe to say that I was mortified with what Aiden requested and my eyes almost bulged out of its sockets. So here I am trying to wear this gorgeous black evening dress that was a little too tight for me but nonetheless it fitted me. The saleslady was waiting outside, waiting for me to finish trying on the outfit.

I got out using the dress and was surprised to see Aiden seating down on one of the chairs with, his lips curled upwards as he eyes me appreciately.

"The dress looks beautiful but it only enhances your gorgeousness" I blushed.

"It fits" I said before I went back to the dressing room. I heard Aiden's laugh, he knows that I dislike trying on expensive and stunning dresses. I feel guilty everytime I see the price tags on the dresses.

The next one was a backless one and I felt sad, knowing that I would never have the chance to wear it. Even though most of my bruises and scars are gone, the scars on my back are still there.

But I also wanted to try this one, it's material is so soft and the design is so pretty. I decided I should try it on, I'd be the one who'll see it anyways. As soon as I put it on, I examined myself on the mirror. The dress fits me like a glove and it surprisingly looks good on me but when I turned my body to look at my back I felt insecure. The scars looks ugly, I let out a scream when the door suddenly opened as I scrambled on my feet to cover myself but it was too late.

Aiden grabbed my hands to stop me from fussing. I tightly closed my eyes, not wanting to see the look on his face, no doubt he would br disgusted by my scars. Tears were already falling from my eyes, I could hear him saying repugnant words to me.

"What happened to you, Rose?" Aiden barely said and I could hear his voice crack. I still closed my eyes as I shook my head at him. I try to push him away but he clings unto me tighter.

"Please, let me go" I said in a quiet crying tone.

"No, not until you tell me what happened to your back" I could hear his voice softly breaking, as if he was in pain.

"Who did this to you Rose?" now his voice was tainted with deep anger.

I whimpered in response as the memories comes rushing back to me. I clung unto Aiden as I buried my head on his chest, bawling my eyes out.

My mouth opened and I myself couldn't even understand the words that are coming out of it. Aiden whispers soothing words to me as he rubs my back, carefully as if I was made of glass. His hands hovers my back, I know that he was waiting for answers but I just couldn't stop myself from crying.

Aiden said something to me before he scooped me up in his arms as I wrap my arms around his neck and continued to sob pathetically.

I could hear conversations but I still maintained my hesd buried in his chest. I was mentally exhausted and I wanted nothing more than just stay in his arms forver.
