[Akasha.]
Slap!
A crisp sound of a slap echoed within the main hall of the Valantine household.
Siersha's body fell down helplessly on the ground, her disheveled hair covering her face.
"Hey, Siersha!?"
Ayomai, her mother, quickly moved to help her, kneeling down just beside her.
Her glowing green eyes snapped towards the man looming over them.
"What are you doing, father?"
Edwin didn't reply as he quietly looked down at Siersha.
His red eyes held anger and hatred that burned into her.
"Stand up and step back, Ayomai," Edwin said, his voice more threatening than ever.
"But—"
"I SAID STEP BACK!!"
Edwin snapped, his voice booming within the entire hall.
Ledger quickly moved and firmly separated his wife from his daughter.
Edwin gazed at Siersha. "Stand up."
Without a word, she pushed her hair back and got back to her feet.
Her face healed, but the mark was still clear.
Edwin loomed over her, his voice low. "How did this happen?"
