JAX:
There were few rules I had and one of those rules was never to lose myself to either my temper, situations surrounding me or even people who are either insignificant or important to me. And I'd lived by this for a very long time and it had helped regulate my reactions and a whole lot of things.
But seeing the bruises littered on Amelia's skin, the angry red and purple marks and even the ones that had healed, clicked something in my head. I wasn't sure I could uphold that rukke any longer. I wasn't sure I couldn't hold onto that legacy anymore. Not when she had bruises marked everywhere on her skin.
Like I had no control over my movement, my hand pushed her robe farthest to the side. I slowly took the robe off her shoulders, letting it slide down her back and down to the floor.
