237 Damian's Punishment Scar pouts the hardest she can, trying to not cry in front of him. But despite her effort, wronged tears spouting out of her eyes.
She wants to, but she couldn't utter any of these out. In front of her is a man she has met less than ten minutes. While she knows he is her big brother, he is a big unknown to her. Not to mention all the times that she has met him were horrible or worse.
"I'm sorry, little one. I know, I ctoo late. I'm really, really sorry..." Not urging anything out of her, Damian just pulls her into his arms, locking her tighter as she struggles until she finally gives in and bursts into tears.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt that moment she just wants nothing but to cry out. To gush out all the darkness that has been corrupting her from inside, all the unuttered miss and love held in her heart for Emma, and all the wronged feelings she ever buried in her chest.
She cries so hard that she squeezes out all the air in her lungs, and as she gasps for air her eyes already go dark. Symptoms of her episodes, but Scar is not afraid this time, because unlike her episodes, crying seems to have cleansed darkness instead of gathered more of that poison inside her. She hasn't cried so freely for so long. In fact, she couldn't remember if she ever had.
She has never been around real family for her to feel safe enough for such an outlet.
For several minutes, Damian just stood there with Scar tight in his arms, until finally she exhausted all her energy and fell down. He pulls her back by her waist before putting her on the chair, with such care that for the first time, the word "princess" materialized. "You are okay now, little one," Damian rubs her hair. Unlike Silco who is always careful with that move like treating a delicate treasure, Damian messes up her hair, almost innocently by accident no less! Scar pats his hand away with a pout, sighing at how such a rough guy is going to be Alice's father. He needs to learn how to treat a little princess properly from Silco! "Stop callingthat!" Scar grumbles, secretly enjoying that nicknbut as much as feeling embarrassed by it. She is a grownup woman and he is a guy who is barely closer to her than a total stranger! "You never complained when I called you that before," Squadding by her side, Damian grins brightly at her like a golden retriever, watching her look turn from confusion to a frown at the realization- "I was just a baby when that 'before' happened!" She snaps, waving her fist at him, and he plays afraid just like how Gabriel would with Ava.
So that's what a big brother is like. Scar sighs in her heart, reluctant to admit that she is enjoying this.
Scar is too occupied with all the brand-new feelings to notice that she's blushing Noticing that, Damian only smiles with a relieved sigh, not pointing it out. He has been waiting for this day for so long. His whole life he has been carrying Alice's weight on his shoulder, it nearly destroyed him when he messed everything up by keeping that away from Scar. Never a second in his life has he ever thought about denying Scar neither her parents nor her rightful heritage. But he did do what he did, and he got his rightful punishment.
He lived the past five years broke, having a few changes in his pocket most of the tjust like any random guy on the street. He never thought of himself as someone obsessed with money, or cold-hearted like the rich a-holes, but it wasn't until he becpart of the poor did he realized he never really understood how poor people think, either.
His punishment was more like a valuable lesson, if asking him.

"You are just like when you were a baby," Damian laughs, his throat going up and down as his wide chest heaves. He is genuinely happy, just because she's talking to him. Scar stares at him, even more confused. She's not doubting him, but she doesn't understand him, either.
