It became like her routine. They both hit her and torture her whenever they feel like it. Her life has become miserable. She is a prisoner in her own house. 

No one is allowed to see her, and she is not allowed to go anywhere. She is locked in her room. She can't even roam in her own house. 

A month like this was gone, and her body and mind started giving up. She shivers with only their voice. She started getting scared of them.

The fear inside her started making her their puppet.

They made her just a doll who only did what pleased them. She trembles in front of them like a wet leaf. 

Especially the day after he hit her with his belt. She never pulled any stunts again. They scared the shit out of her.

After a month, finally today her father is coming, but that month was the worst time of her life.

"Get her ready." He ordered Tiffany to get her ready. "And don't you dare to pull any stunt in front of your father?" He warned her while squeezing her jaw tightly. 

She cried in pain, "Because I'm not giving you a divorce and your father will die today or tomorrow because of his illness, then I will be your only guardian, and I swear I will make your life hell. Understood?" He said that in a warning tone, and she didn't reply. 

"Understood?" He applied more force to her jaw, and she nodded weakly. "Good girl. If you do as I say and don't cross me, then you can live peacefully. Just like before." He said that while patting her head like a dog. "Be a good trophy wife, understand."

Tiffany started doing her makeup to cover the beaten marks on her body. Tears rolled down her face when Tiffany said, "Stop crying and put a fucking smile on your face for the sake of your father."

She wipes her eyes, sniffling, and finally comes out of her room after a month. 

"Can I take Dobby out, please?" She pleaded. 

Tiffany thinks for a second, then agrees, "Fine. But don't you dare..."

"I won't do anything. Please, I didn't see him for a month." She pleaded while joining her hands in front of Tiffany.

"Go before I change my mind." Tiffany said, and she instantly ran to Dobby's room.

Seeing her after a month, Dobby also ran towards her, and she scooped him into her arms. They both cried after seeing each other.

Dobby also had tears in his eyes. "Dobby, my baby. I'm so sorry." She saw that he also lost a lot of weight, just like her.

Both are looking skinny. Maria, the maid, brought Dobby's food and said, "Madam, please make him eat something. He was not eating anything without you."

Roseline nodded and brought food in front of Dobby. He instantly started eating, and after that, she took him out for a walk.

They were taking a walk when her father's car stopped, and he stepped out. 

Seeing him after a whole month, she couldn't control herself and ran to him. She hugged him tightly and burst out crying. 

"Oh, my baby. It's ok. I'm back." Jacob said, chuckling. "What happens? I was just gone for days, and you are crying like this." Poor Jacob thought that she was just missing him, and seeing him after days got emotional. 

"I missed you so much. Please don't ever leave me." She said, hiccuping, and Jacob wiped her tears. 

"I missed you too, Rose." Her father kissed her forehead. 

"Welcome back, dad." Victor came behind her, and she shivered listening to his voice, but this went unnoticed by Jacob. 

"Thanks, my boy." He replied and hugged Victor, which he also returned, but while hugging Jacob, he angrily glared at Roseline, and she looked down at her feet immediately. 

"She was missing you a lot." Victor said to her father with a fake smile and then held her in his arms, and she flinched, "See, I told you dad would come soon, and you were behaving like a baby." He said that lovingly, and she is looking at him dumbfounded. 

They came inside and had dinner together. Victor is serving her himself while having sweet talks with her. She didn't reply because she couldn't believe her eyes that the old Victor was coming back in a snap of a finger. Is he bipolar or something? She is wondering. 

After dinner, her father excused himself because he was tired. The moment he left, Victor threw her on the ground with a jerk and swiped his hands in disgust. 

"Ah." She winced in pain and came back to the reality that he was still a monster. 

"Now listen to me carefully." He crouched to her level and pulled her hair harshly. "Tomorrow you are going to reject your father." He said that, and she is confused about what he is talking about. 

"What?" She asks, controlling her tears.

"He will call tutors tomorrow for your college, and you will refuse him and say you don't want to. Is that clear?"

"But why? I want to study." She whispered, and he twisted her hair harder. 

"What did you just say, bitch? Study? My foot. You will deny him, or I will kill your precious bastard, Dobby." He threatened, and she panicked.

"No, please don't." She started pleading. "He is innocent."

"Try me." He replied, turning towards Dobby's room, and she kneeled in front of him and held his feet. 

"Please. Victor. Please. I'm begging you. Please. I will do whatever you want. But please don't hurt Dobby." She begged him, and he smirked.

Knowing very well that she is such a fool who will do anything to save others. Especially her father and her bastard dog.

"Good girl. Now go to your room." He said so, and she slowly got up and went to her room. She curled up in her bed and cried over her cruel fate, thinking about how her life shattered in a month.

Next morning, as he said. Jacob called the tutor, but she denied it. 

"Dada I don't want to study further." She replied, biting her lower lip. 

"What?" Victor faked shock. 

"Rose, honey, why?" Jacob is shocked too.

"Yes, Roseline. Tell dad why. You have a life ahead of you. You can't abandon your future like this." Victor acted in front of Jacob. 

"I have my future with you." She said it with a heavy heart. "Dada, I'm married, and it's not like I have to study and impress a man to be my husband." She chuckled, thinking of how fluently she started lying in front of her father.

"That's not a justifying reason." Jacob objected.

"Then what will I do to study further, Dada? It's not like I have to take care of your business. You have Victor for that." She said what was in her heart, and when she realized what she just said, she ran to her room instantly. 

She was locking the door when, instantly, Victor barged in, held her neck in a tight grip, and locked the room.

She tried to remove his hold as the air tightened around her throat and her face turned pale. He throws her on the floor. She takes deep breaths while coughing.

"It looks like you have again got a tongue, huh? I told you to refuse. Not to say all those things." He barked in her face and back-slapped her. Her face turned to the other side, and she covered her cheek, sobbing. 

"So you want to do business, huh? That's why you want to study." He slapped her again. 

The hits are so hard that her ears are buzzing. He started taking off his belt, and she held his feet. This thing scares her to death. She can't take the beating anymore.

"Victor, please don't. Please don't hit me. I will never tell Dada. Please." She pleaded, and he put the belt around her neck and tried to choke her.

"Keep those words always in your mind. If you want your loved ones to be alive, get it." He warned, and she nodded. 

He left her and came downstairs.

"Dad, I am really sorry for what she said." He started acting in front of Jacob.

"No, son, it is not your fault. I want to talk to her." Jacob said it sadly.

"Dad, she is angry. So I think we should give her some time. When she calms down, talk to her." He replied, and Jacob nodded with a heavy heart. 

On the other hand, Roseline is crying over her fate and how her marriage turned out to be her doom.
