Scarlett's POV…
The moment my eyes fell on my father, my jaws dropped immediately, did he come to look for me? Did he miss me so much during my absence?
My eyes became watery as I stared at him, I felt like it's been ages since I have seen him last, blood is indeed thicker than water.
Deep down, I was the happiest person and I felt a ray of hope. If only my father could take me away from this beast and allow me to explain things to him, I would be really glad.
"Fa..ther" I stuttered and immediately ran to him despite there were a few steps remaining for me to get to him.
As I was about to engulf him a tight hug, I suddenly received a resounding slap that sent me sprawling on the floor.
I looked at him swiftly in shock holding the cheeks that got slapped.
"Fa..ther," I stuttered, unable to believe what just happened. He slapped me again on my second cheek, shocking me the more, my eyes reddened and my tears finally began to fall.
