-"Hey, how was your sleep sweet boy ?" Ask Helena with enthusiasm to her husband.
Lucas doesn't reply, he just wants to be nothing, he wants to disappear like everything he has made to finally have a normal life and all blew up because of her.
-"you won't reply, i see. Maybe you'll talk to my parents, they really wanted to meet you… ah i can't wait for the wedding… I am sure my Mom will be okay with it."
-"WAIT WEDDING ?!"
-"...Oh you decided to break the silence… Well, I want to marry you so you could take my 1st name and also so we can't be separated… do not even think about divorce, such things are impossible if i refuse and you are nothing but a pathetic little man who has been nothing more than an enemy but of course i see you as my love."
William enter Helena's room and he seems a little desperate and sad about the situation
-"Helena, could please give me one moment with him"
-"Dad… i can stay too, it is about my husband"
-"i wanna talk in private"
-"Never, I will never leave him, I know what you want to say to him. I won't let you break what I have done to be with him."
-"... Helena… i promise i won't if you leave me alone"
-"Never ! You want to take him away from me and make him escape, no ? Mom should have broke your legs"
-"Helena, please listen to me-"
-"Nuh uh !"
Lucas watch the scene and he seems to be a little confused by how her father seems to be against her daughter's obssession.
-"excuse me… monster but you should listen to your father"
Helena just slap Lucas and grab him by the collar
-"whay did you just said !"
-"You are a crazy unhinged monst-"
She slap him again
-"oh sweetboy, i guess you didn't understand you have no right to call your fiance… no, your wife like that"
-"i would rather die than sharing my life with you"
-"oh you want to play the hard to get… then okay"
She grabs his neck and start to chocke him, he tries to sto her but he is weekened from the previous fight and night with her. He is about to pass out but her father grab push her
-"stop this !"
-"not letting our daughter teaching lesson to our son in law ?" It was Maria who just came in
-"sweetie, since when are you here ?"
-”oh, it doesn't matter, but i think you should let our daughter alone with her precious treasure, no ?”
Maria drags william out of the room and let them alone
-”oh god, he is finally gone… THANK YOU MOM. Anyways, so I was going to ask you… where do you want to spend our honeymoon ?”
-”do not think about, it's not like i will ever sign this marriage contract” he said coldly to her
-”still playing hard to get ? Fine i let you, i have something more important to do”
Helena leaves the room and go to the living room, she fall on the couch and start to talk to herself
-”as expected it is still a one sided love… I don't want to come to this but maybe one day i'll have to…”
Meanwhile, Lucas was in the room alone till William show himself again, william go to the side of the bed and take his right hand
-”i see the wound is healing pretty well”
Lucas is surprised by this
-”Wait, what are you doing ?”
-”I am watching my son-in-law's wound heal or should I mean, younger kin…”
-”what do you mean ?”
William take off his shirt to show the barcode tatoo on his chest
-”i am like you but it seems they moved the tatoo to the arm. Do not worry, we are not from the same gene pack but we were born for the same purpose.”
-”how did you know about the barcode ?”
-”Helena told me when she was searching for information about you and your condition as vatborn and vatgrown agent.”
William takes a glass of water and drink it while Lucas is surprise and trusting by the revelation of his identity
“So how is my daughter ?”
-”she is beautiful and kind…”
-”no need to lie, i am the first to admit my daughters are horrible person” he say with a little bit of regret in his voice
-”Wait, why are you this straight ?”
-”Because it is the truth, they are the monsters from Maria's twisted love for me”
-”you are in conflict with your wife”
-”yes and maybe you wasn't there if i wasn't here”
A guard step in and he said
-”I am for Lucas, The lady and her Mother want to to see you” he said while another huard takes his chain off
-”Try to move” say the other guard
William leaves with them and they arrive at Maria's office, the guards turn back leaving William and Lucas with Helena and Maria.
-”so… what a cute boy, I see Helena has a good choice. As you know, i want my daughter to be happy but it seems you are not making it easy for her so i give you 2 weeks to decide about this relationship” Maria said with a calm yet threatening voice
William remains silent to this, he does not want to make his wife angry but he is conflicted about Lucas safety. He knows his daughter's behavior and how she can be violent.
-"i guess i should give you some rules
-
You are not going outside without me or a guard
-
Do not talk to any other women
-
You don't have the right to eat, drink or bathe by yourself
-
You can't be alone without your gps tracker
-
If i want to be satisfy, you'll had to do it Without question
-
You have to be available when i want to spend time with you
-
You have to answer me when i ask you a question
-
You can't sleep without me
-
You can't see your old dumb friends and colleagues
-
And you can't sleep without cuddle
Is it clear ?”
-”yeah yeah whatever” he say blazed
Helena slaps him on the check
-”what did i do ?”
-”take it seriously okay !” Helena takes a plate for her and another for him, she grabs her fork and takes some chicken to his mouth but Lucas turns his face “common, open, say aaah”
-”...” He remains silent but Helena slaps him again
-"EAT !” She yells at him but he don't want to eat, she slaps him
-”Alright you want to play the bad boy then okay” Helena takes a fork of food and starts to chew it. Right after she forcefully kiss him and feed him while kissing
-”argh you are a true psycho bitch !” Lucas yells at her but Helena doesn't feel bad about this, she know she is like this but he will have to accept it no matter he likes it or not
William was watching the scene while eating, he was about to vomit when Maria giggled
-”oh that so nostalgic, don't you remember when we were doing the same ?”
Maria say to him but it only gives chills to William, he is remembering the days he was in the situation of Lucas and when he was fed by force but he can't hold back anymore, when Helena was about to do it again, he get up and grab Helena's arm to stop her, Maria was right behind and she just grip her husband and pull him away
-”what are you doing !” William shout to her
-"I am helping our daughter by making sure you won't try to break her dreams”
-”dreams, my eye, you mean her psychotic obsessive nature ?”
-”no, when you think it is wrong, i'll tell it is our biggest weapon because this is how you can't lose” she reply on a cold tone to him
William keeps watching Lucas being assaulted.
When the dinner is finished Johan and Blanche leave along with Maria but Lucas keep struggling, William was thinking, does the battlefield and soldier lifes was better ? He kept these thoughts and the voices of his former brothers in arms, if he accepted Maria could he have saved them ? He stop thinking about this when Lucas start screaming because Helena stabs his arms after he tried to drink by himself
-”Helena !”
