I let Isaiah go, even though it was with a heavy heart. It wasn't just me who couldn't let him go but him... I meant something inside me.
"Paula, why do you look so sad?" asked Dad, who suddenly walked into my room. I hadn't told him anything about Isaiah and Ioris leaving. He might throw a tantrum, or... he might kill me.
Dad probably wouldn't do anything that sadistic, but his crazy love for Ioris scared me. A few days before training Isaiah, I went to Dad's office and saw him punishing one of his trusted assistants. Imagine that! He'd trusted him so much before, but just because of a small matter—the assistant had forgotten not to buy the right gift necklace for Dad to give to Ioris, he'd gone crazy.
After he told me everything, I simply asked, "Aren't you overreacting, Dad? He just didn't buy the right gift. You can come and exchange it, right? Can love make people lose their minds?"
Brakk!
