Amor Redentor

Chapter 5: The Past Revealed

As they stood under the warm water, Damon's fingers gentle and soothing on Rosalina's skin, she felt a sense of trust wash over her. She knew that she could tell him anything, and he would listen without judgment.

"Damon," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I need to tell you something."

Damon's hands paused on her skin, his eyes locking on hers. "What is it, Rosalina?" he asked, his voice low and gentle.

Rosalina took a deep breath, the words tumbling out of her like a dam breaking. "I had a shitty childhood," she said, her voice cracking with emotion. "I was beaten, Damon. I was never loved."

Damon's eyes filled with compassion, his hands wrapping around her like a warm hug. "Oh, Rosalina," he whispered. "I'm so sorry."

Rosalina felt a lump form in her throat, tears pricking at the corners of her eyes. She had never told anyone about her childhood before, not even her closest friends. But with Damon, she felt safe, like she could trust him with her deepest secrets.

"It was my father," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "He was a cruel man, Damon. He never loved me, never showed me any kindness."

Damon's hands tightened around her, his eyes blazing with anger. "I'm so sorry, Rosalina," he repeated. "No one deserves to be treated like that."

Rosalina felt a sense of relief wash over her, like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. She knew that she had found someone special in Damon, someone who would listen to her without judgment, someone who would love her for who she was.

As they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, Rosalina knew that she was ready to face her past, to confront the demons that had haunted her for so long. She knew that she wasn't alone, that Damon would be there to support her every step of the way.
