Travis's pov
After a few weeks, I went to her school at 4 pm because she told me to come and pick her from school that day. She was waiting there for me. When she saw me, she came to me and said, "Let's go to another place, today."Then we went to a wonderful place to roam.
I told her with an indifferent face, "This place is my favorite place and also very special to me."
She asked me, " Why?"
I said to her, "Because when my mother was alive, she always brought me here for wandering. She was so fond of this place. I think this place has a great view. So I brought you here."
She told me, "Thank you for bringing me here. This place is so wonderful. I like this place."
I said, "This is nothing. Let's go over there. I want to show you something."
We went there. That place was a bit high and there was a flower garden at the bottom of this place. That garden was quite large. That garden has ten parts. All those parts were filled with different colorful flowers. Those were rose, daffodil,tulip,hyacinths,peony,wisteria, rhododendron,crocus,lilac shrubs. They were all spring flowers that never bloom in other seasons.
I asked her, "Do you know who plants all these flowers?"
She said, "I think it's your mother."
I told her, "Yeah, you're right. My mother planted all these flowers. However, do you wanna go there?"
She said to me, "Of course, let's go."
Then we stay there up until we saw the evening sky. When she saw the sun began to set at dusk, she became stunned for a moment. She was enjoying this astonishing view. After that, she didn't want to go back but I forced her to go back to her dormitory. Then she went to her dorm.
The next day, she came by herself to my treehouse and called for me. But that day, Ilhan was in that treehouse. Ilhan gets to know about her. He called me here from my home. Then I had to tell him about Sierra from my pov later. From then on he knew about my soulmate.
That day Sierra looks so depressed. Her eyes were swollen and she brought a bag with her. So I asked her, "Why are you looking so sad today? Did something happened to you?"
Then she began to tell me about the reason for her sadness, " They treat me well by giving me clothes, food, and accommodation. Although I want not only these things but also love. They can't give me it. They give me everything I need but they cannot give me the happiness that I really need. I want to be loved by them."
I asked her, "Did your parents tell you something?
She told me, "My father always told me not to befriend our maids' daughters because they are lowlife human beings. He told me not to play with stray animals. Then I wanted a cat as a pet, he bought it for me. But one day when I wasted some extra time on it, he killed it and threw it in the trash bin in front of me. The day he found out from my mom that I had skipped a single work from my daily routine. They both hit me so badly that day that I couldn't move for a few days. They just want me to be their perfect daughter. They hit me if I can't do what they want me to do. So that place seems an abyss to me, although I endure all those things. But a few days ago, they cross their limit."
I asked, "What did they do?"
She said, "They told me to go out with a prince. He's from a nearby town. I went out with him. He told me that he wants to do that thing with me before our marriage. He even tried to rape me when I denied him. I struggled so much and also get hurt. After a while, I stopped him with a slap on his left cheek. After that, I ran to the way of my palace and fainted on the street near my palace. when I woke up I find myself in my room with a nurse. After a while my dad comes to visit me, I told him the whole story. I get to know my dad's real identity after his answer."
I asked her, "What's his answer?"
She begins to cry and said, "He told me to do as he wants because he didn't do it as he wants. My dad told him to do it so that I agreed to this marriage. That's how he will be famous."
I embraced her and said, "Don't worry, from now on I'll be always there for you. Don't cry."
She continuedly said, "Then my mom came to that room, I told her everything. But she also told me to get married to that prince because of his property. Now I understand that my dad is such a devil that he can even sell his own daughter for fame and my mother is a greedy bitch that she can do the same thing for wealth. So I refused this proposal in front of the media. As soon as I refused this, my dad dragged me from the living room to my room and slapped, then choked, and hit me more than I can bear. For this, I couldn't able to meet you these days. After that, today He told me that if I did not agree to this proposal, he would kick me out of his house. So I left his place because I would never accept that proposal. And I have no place to go so I came here. Can I stay here for a few days?"
I told her, "Yeah, of course. You can stay here as long as you want."
She said to me, "Thanks for helping me."
I said, "No mention. Let's go home for now."
