CROSSING THE BORDER novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88

“I never told you any lie.” Rania closed her eyes, because the pain in her lower abdomen was too much. She was having a hard time to breath.

Layer of cold sweat formed on her forehead, but she bit her lip not to make any sound, even though when she spoke, her voice was trembling.

“Killian tried to touch me. I never lied when I told you that, but you never trusted me. You side with him. You

but not only did not protect me, you

assaulter.” side with my

“Killian had never done that.” Alaric was still adamant with his belief.

“You always said that because that’s what you want to believe, but have you ever thought for once, just once, to consider my story is the truth?”

The pain made Rania was a little bit groggy, she was lightheaded, and didn’t think twice on what she was going to say, she simply blurted out the words from her mind.

The grievances that she had been buried for a long time. The thing that she didn’t say it out loud because she was silenced, because no one believed her.

And when Rania didn’t think she would get any consequences from her father, the words came out naturally. The fear that silenced her was not presence, and for that moment she didn’t fear her father like she used to.

“The only wrongdoings that I have done is born as a girl. If I were a boy, if I were your son, you would have defend me to the end of the world.” Rania chuckled a bit when she said that. “It would be nice to have you have my back.”

Alaric didn’t say anything, and Rania didn’t care much about it, as she continued. She couldn’t care less whether he heard her or not, because that was not the point.

The pain on her lower abdomen increased, and this made her ears ringing painfully, she gasped, but for Alaric it sounded like she was shivering in cold. The cell was cold, the temperature dropped at night significantly.

“How will you justify what Caden had done to me? You know how wrong it was for him to force himself to me, but you kept your mouth shut even though he had been harassing me for a year. You act as if I didn’t exist. Did that make you feel better to think that I didn’t exist?”

Rania took a sharp breath, she curled her body even more, but she kept talking.

“You didn’t think Killian would touch me inappropriately, but you let Caden do what he did to me blatantly. He didn’t even hide it, and you didn’t do anything, when as a father you should be the one, who protected me. How can you justify what he had done?”

Rania breathed raggedly. She lowered her head, rested it on her knees, while she was breathing through her pain.

“Why do you hate me so much for the mistake that I didn’t even do? Why do you try to break me? Why do you believe them more than me? Am I not your daughter? Your flesh and blood?”
