Chaos In The Darkness; Salvatores's Salvation-Chapter 239: I’m sorry - I

Evelyn yawned and continued to type, ’Yeah, it was scary. Attacks can be quite frequent and it is difficult to tell who is behind them. Which one are you talking about?’

His reply was instant.

’I don’t think you were there for that one. Your father kept you away, didn’t he?’

He did, Evelyn had to agree on that. Her father had always kept her away and quite frankly, even if there had been an attack she had not suffered half of what she had done here.

’He did,’ she wrote, ’which is why I dont know about any of them.’ 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

She really did not. It was never brought up in front of her. In fact, one could never even, even if observed carefully, that their blood spilled in the walls of the house she grew up in.

Evelyn sighed and pulled the phone closer to her chest before she sighed. The death anniversary was coming closer and she was not ready to meet her already deep in-ground and decomposing too. This would be the first time she would visit his grave after his burial.

Her phone pinged and stifling a yawn, she unlocked it immediately before discussing the past with him.

"Mummy!"

Arabella’s shriek made her jump. Gasping at the sight of the boiling milk over the oot, she turned it off and tried to blow it off. Sighing at her mistake, she poured it into the sipper for her daughter before closing off the lid and keeping it on her high chair’s plate.

"Thank you," Bella smiled before taking the cup and going ahead to drink.

Satisfied with the job done, Evelyn moved back to the stove when she heard the firm and heavy footsteps letting her know who was coming her way. She stifled a yawn-

"AHhhhh!!"

The cry jerked her up and she whipped around in time to find her daughter being rushed over to the sink as Salvatore rinsed out the mouth of her crying daughter.

"Wh-what happened?" she whispered in shock of watching the scene in front of her. Her daughter was crying and for once, Salvatore was panicking.

"Ice!" He spat, "Now, Evelyn!"

She did as told and with records that she had never shown before. Evelyn gave him the bowl full of ice and Salvatore placed two of them on arabella’s tongue.

It took some while for her daughter to calm down but when she did Evelyn felt herself drown with relief.

"Iona," Salvatore called the nanny who had been watching everything from the sidelines, ready to be called into action, "take Arabella to rest and make sure you never leave her alone with Evelyn."

Evelyn gasped in horror, "what?"

Salvatori did not bother to answer her and only when Arabella had been removed from the situation he turned to her.

He did not answer but she felt his fingers curl around her arms and squeeze them, making her wince painfully. "check the bottle, Evelyn," he said, "drink from the fucking milk bottle."

The moment he finished, he let go of her arms making her take a step back in a stumble.

Knowing that Salvador could explode at any moment, Evelyn did not beat around the bush and went forward to touch the milk bottle but frowned when she found the container exceptionally hot.

"Yes," Salvatore nodded, "that fucking hot, Evelyn. That is what you gabe to Arabella."

For a moment, Evelyn chose not to believe it. Instead of taking his word as it was, she went ahead and put the milk over her wrist to check only to check the milk hurriedly as soon as it touched her skin.

"Oh my god," she whispered in horror, "I-I.."

"What?" He barked roughly making her jump, "no words now?"

"What the fuck Is wrong with you, Evelyn? That was the height of carelessness that you could show with a kid."

Evelyn blinked before she tried to conjure up a reply. "I have never done this before, Salvatore. I assure you of that. I really do not know what happened." No matter how many shifts she had to pull through, Arabella had never suffered like she had done today.

Instead of believing her, Salvatore just shut his head. "My word still stands, Evelyn. You will no longer be alone with Arabella anymore."

"You can’t do that Salvatore!" She hissed in anger. " It was one mistake out of sheer carelessness. If that was how it was about to go then no mother would have her child with her!"

Yes it was a blunder that she made but mistakes happen in parenthood and she would definitely be more careful from now on.

Salvatore stared at home for a brief second before he shook his head more to himself and took a step back.

"She was my daughter before she was yours Salvatore!" Evelyn spat. "I have never made a mistake and it was bound to happen. And I did! I am feeling guilty about it and I am telling you that I’m never going to make it again. So what else do you want?!"

At the moment it was safe to say that she felt highly defensive about herself. At first, she felt guilty about what she had done and second was the anger flowing through her veins because she had been ripped apart from her daughter.

"Not much, Evelyn." He muttered before stepping into her space and leaning to look directly into her eyes. They were close enough that she could feel his breath fan over her face.

"For one, I want you to correct that attitude and second understand that I am not going to change my words until I feel like it." He touched her chin before gripping it tightly, " understood or not, it will happen."

He pushed her away lightly and even though Salvador did not use even a quarter of his power, Evelyn took step back in a stumble.

She stood there silently, gripping the counter as she watched him walk out of the kitchen with a heavy heart and a guilty conscience.
