I quickly had to think ofsomething that made sense.“It was an accident,” I said the only thing that came to my mind.Helen arched her eyebrows. My faceturned scarlet as she inspected it before glancing questioningly at her brother.“Isabelle, what happened?” Helen asked me, worried.Sebastian gaped at me with an expression I couldn’t decipher. It will be a lot of fun shopping with you,” I said nervously becauseI was self-conscious about the bruise.A part of me hoped she wouldn’t notice, but the look on her face told me otherwise. I can’t wait for us to hit the city.” She hugged meand my long hair got moved from my face in the process.“I’m happy to see you too. Sebastian sat at the head of the table, his features cold and disturbing as usual.Helen gave us a puzzled look before greeting me.“Isabelle, I’m so excited to see you again. The moment I entered the room, the noise subsided and it was replaced by theunpleasant silence. Realizing there was nothing else I could do about it I gave up and headed downstairs tomeet Helen.The anguish of seeing Sebastian increased as I got closer to the dining room. When I finally accepted that makeup could only do somuch, I tried to pull my hair over the blemish as much as possible, but I still couldn’t camouflage itcompletely. I took a quick shower, put on my clothes and spent minutestrying to mask the throbbing bruise on my face.
The reflection of the girl with a bruised face startled me, and Idoubted that makeup could cover it up. Resigned, I chose something towear and hurried to the bathroom.
After everything that had happened the day before, I felt anxious about being in thesame house with him, let alone letting him see me in my rags again. I still needed to choose something from that pile and wear it in front of Sebastianfor the last time. But don’tmake it too long.”After I thanked her and assured her I didn’t need any help, she left me alone with a pile ofclothes on the floor.
She’s downstairs having breakfast with Sebastian. “Oh my God, I forgot about that.” I started panicking at the thought of Sebastian scowling atme again.“Don’t worry.
