Kesumi's p.o.v

I've being awake from 1 this morning. It's now 6. I couldn't sleep last night. I kept on feeling his hands one me and how he violated my body.

I didn't feel any soreness. So I was positive he didn't get to go any further. I wanted to thank that person who saved me. When I woke up and saw that I wasn't in my dress I was uncomfortable. I knew it wasn't Austin who changed me, even though he hated me I knew for sure he wouldn't violate my privacy. I cancelled all my photoshoots I didn't want to go outside my room.

I bathe around three times just to get off the feeling of his disgusting hands off my body,I felt so dirty. I cried and cried,for hours. I was so ashamed of my body. Why did this have to happen to me?

As I was still crying,I heard my door opened. I looked and was shocked to see Austin coming up to me with a plate of soup and looking at me concerned. He put the plate of soup on my study table and I hurriedly wiped my tears as he came near me.

I involuntarily flinched as he reached out his hand to touch my cheeks and it didn't go unnoticed by him as he took away his hand and sighed sadly.

I looked down on my fingers and said "c-can I-I as...k who found me in the bathroom with him?" I asked him timidly.

"I was the one who found out"he said with a sigh. What is with him and sighing. "I'm sorry" he said. I looked up at him with shock and confusion. He noticed the looks on my face and said "I'm sorry I didn't come more earlier,I could've prevented everything" he said genuinely.

So that's the only thing he is sorry for. I almost scoffed in disbelief. I hate him,but he still saved me from Mike.

"Thank you" I said with a gently smile. The next thing he did shocked the hell out of me,he hugged me. I tensed,but hugged him back couple seconds after as he started caressing my back.

It looked like a switch turned into his head as he broke the hug and walked out without glancing back at me. I guess he's back to his old self. I sighed and walked to the table where the soup was and started drinking it.

It was so good. Somehow I kinda felt more at ease. I washed my face and head back to bed and I thankfully had a dreamless sleep.

Austin's p.o.v

I woke up this morning and heard crying coming from Kesumi's room. I felt bad for her. I wished that I got there earlier. I was going to deal with Mike soon. I thought she would stop crying when I got home from work.

I asked one of the maids if she ate anything from morning and she said no. I sent them home and made her some soup. I didn't know why I did.

When I walked into her room and saw her tear stained cheek. I felt even more anger towards Mike.

When I said sorry and told her it was only because, I didn't come more earlier,I saw disbelief came across her face. I wasn't sorry about ignoring her and having different relationships, because it was her who made my mom and dad forced her into this marriage.

It felt so good when she gave me a genuine smile,showing her dimples. She was so beautiful. I didn't know what came over me as I hugged her. I felt her tensed before she relaxed and hugged me back. I loved it.

I then noticed if I stayed their longer I would probably kiss her. I hated myself for thinking like that. She was a gold digger for God sake,so I broke the hug and went to my room without sparing her another glance.

"Have she ever done anything to say is a gold digger?" my conscience mocked

"No but her parents who raised her said she was and maybe she trying to act as an angel and get me to fall in love with her first" I argued

"Maybe her parents were lying" it argued back.

I kept thinking about it as my mind kept going back to the conversation her father and I had on the phone two days ago.

"Don't let her fool you son she's a good manipulater. She even pays people to beat her up to blackmail us into giving her money".
