Young master Damien's pet

Chapter 317 To be lost- Part 1



In Quinn's mansion, the night was colder and prickier on the skin. If not for the heat which came from the fireplace, one would freeze and turn to a piece of ice.

Damien who had his eyes closed suddenly snapped it open at the smell of salt. His eyes moved to find Penny who had her eyes closed but tears fell down from her eyes. His first thought was that she had woken up from her sleep and something had happened but listening to her heartbeat he realized she was still asleep and she was crying in her dream.

Bringing his hand to her face, he placed it on her cheek and she opened her eyes with tears that seeped into the pillow cover. She took a deep breath, like a person who was brought back to life.

He didn't ask or speak a word to her. He let her sink in back to reality, where she belonged to but what he didn't know was that Penny had only come to know the reality now where a veil had been placed in front of her eyes all this time.

With her head still resting on the pillow, she noticed Damien observing her where he was on the other side of the bed. Her watery, blurry eyes met his. The tears that fell down made her cheeks feel wet but that didn't stop her eyes that was tearing up again.

Pushing herself, she sat up and Damien followed her suit. Stepping out of the bed, he walked towards the table. Pouring a glass of water and bringing it to her. Silently Penny took the glass, drinking the water and handing it back to him.

She sat there quietly without a word. Her thoughts muddled over what she dreamt about in her dreams. It felt like her emotions had evaporated and she couldn't feel anything. She felt numb but that wasn't what had happened. With what she found out, things that had been erased which had been hidden and lost had finally surfaced up her mind.

The bed dipped down again and Damien got back to sit in front of her. He could see that she was in turmoil. Her mind was trying to grasp something which he could see in her eyes. Her emotions felt vacant like she was back to sleep but even during her sleep he could sense her feelings and the way they moved. He didn't have to know what might have happened as it wasn't her dream that had caught up with her.

It was her memories that were returning.

Her eyes were cast down as she continued to stare. After a while, when her eyes finally met his red ones, the tears that she holding in started to fall down. Her eyes filling up with tears which she had no control over. The little girl whose mind had been stubbed and suffocated all these years was finally voicing out the pain, the betrayal which was hidden and kept unknown to her. A sob escaped her lips, the tears continuing to trail down her cheeks where another sob erupted through her lips. It was as if a bottle of emotions had started to overflow and Damien hugged her. Putting his arms around her where she broke into sobs. Her shoulders shaking with every memory that felt bright right now after the time of darkness that had hidden it over the years.

Damien didn't know what she saw but nonetheless he held her, lending her the chest she needed where she could cry. He didn't like the sobs that broke through her lips, the sound breaking his heart and he gently rubbed the back of her head.

There was no end to the tears that fell down her eyes. The mother she had known until now had it all been a sham? Everything, every moment they had spent with each other. Her mother who was a kind person who was soft-spoken and who always took care of her, had it all been a lie? After a few minutes, where Penny had finally calmed down after the overflow of the tears where her mind felt fuzzy where she could hardly think about what was the truth and what had been lies all these years she had spent before.

Damien gently ran his hand up and down her back, trying to calm the tears that had wrecked through her body with every sob previously where she now had finally quietened down. He let her stay as long she needed.

He then said, "Don't cry for the past that had gone by. There are a lot of things that are not in our hands and we only need to walk through it."

"I feel lost," she replied back with her forehead that was taking the support of his chest. Her breath coming out harshly due to the tears. There was sadness in her voice, a certain void that had come to fill her up at this hour of the time.

"Don't worry, I will find you if you ever feel that way. I am here," he said, still continuing to move his hand up and down her back before it finally stood still and he only placed it to make sure she felt safe right now. She wanted to cry but it was as if the tears had dried up since the very past before the memories were erased.

She parted her lips to speak, taking her time to utter the words,

"I thought...I thought finding answers would help me. But I didn't know that I was looking forward to something I never expected," she shook her head.

Who knew that behind the hidden erased memories she would find her mother's true nature. With the dream that she had only dreamt a few moments ago, the scene was etched deeply into her mind.Damien knew that it was her something that had surfaced from her memory which was removed or had been purposely made forgotten so that she wouldn't know about it.
