Eden's POV
Why was I even doing this? She is just someone I want to use because she caught Niklaus's interest, so why was I suddenly protective of her?
Oh I know why, I was feeling sympathy for her because I could relate to her experience too.
I also grew up in the countryside but not as long as she did and not because I was an illegitimate child.
My parents were divorced because dad found out mom was cheating on him, not to forget the fact she married him for his money.
Thankfully I turned out to be his, but my father had me sent to the countryside because he didn't want me to be a hindrance to Niklaus's future or so I thought.
Truthfully speaking, my father Eric was supposed to be the family head instead of Adam, but an unfortunate accident made him unsuitable for the position.
On a day out with his elder brother Adam, there was an accident and he used his own body to shield Niklaus's father, getting injured in his stead.
