Emily POV
"That's exactly why we have to make him pay for the bestiality he did. If we just put even one complaint against him, his name would be put on trial. Dad would have to sever relations with him for the good of the family and from then on, everything would fall apart. We would leave him in ruins."
"Just like my name" I break off, looking him in the eye and squeezing his arm with my hand I implore him to make an effort to understand my point: "I don't want to re-victimize Nathan. If everything becomes public I would have to tell my story over and over again, remember it over and over again. I don't want that. Do you understand?"
Quiet, he doesn't move for several seconds but surrenders he finally nods, giving in to my every wish.
"So what do you want, what can I do to make this better?" he asks concerned and with his brown eyes locked on mine, he places a kiss on my forehead with dedication: "Tell me."
