“my dad can protect me”

  Episode-221 “my dad can protect me”   Celeste’s POV:    Alexis said, “don’t worry it’s normal… they are still kids internally, they fight and then be friends again… real quick…” I nodded.   I turned to Ernest who was eating without minding anyone. I asked, “can I go home?” Ernest looked at me and said, “stay here today…. I am busy, so… you can assist Cherry, since she is going to stay here alone… you can be her secretary for day.” So… I am on work… I can’t understand him, he is really weird… sometimes he treats me like I am his wife and then like I am his employ… or is he finding a reason to make me stay… is he really trying to make me stay.    I nodded, Evelyn said, “yea.. let’s have fun today.. I don’t have schedule so we will have fun..” I smiled at her.    Ernest warned, “you are not allowed to go out of the palace… Celeste you too…” I looked at him.   I said, “are you worried about Steven Murray…. You can say that… I am not a kid… I find it weird that you all decided to tell who you really are…. I am not kid.. I know there must be something..”   Aaron said, “Senior is smarter than we thought”    Alexis said to Ernest, “we should tell her…” tell what    I looked at Ernest and asked, “what is wrong?... tell me please?”    Ernest said, “Steven Murray searched about my siblings to blackmail me… he even attacked Evelyn twice… and Aaron too…. So we decided to make it public… he is a crazy… he even attacked you right?... it’s better if you stay here….”    I looked at Evelyn and Aaron.. because of me they got attacked. I got up and said, “I am sorry, because of me you all got in trouble… I should go… if I stay here.. anything can happen..”     Ernest grabbed my hand and said, “don’t go…. I can’t lose you… and each step you take out of here is dangerous.. I can’t lose my love …” I looked at him, I have no words…    I said in tears, “but this is dangerous.”   Evelyn said, “it’s not a problem..” I turned to her, she said to me, “when I was 4 when someone tried to attack us…. Since then dad made us even more private…. We live in this, we know to kill, hunt and protect…”     She said, “yea…in first attack I got scared, but the second time I killed them…”she killed someone while protecting herself?  She doesn’t appears to be that strong. She looks like a delicate girl… how is this even real?   Aaron said, “yes.. I did too… we are use to this…. we are like professional … it’s you who needs protection.”     Alexis said, “Yes, sis-in-law… you should listen and don’t feel guilty about us… it’s just another cat and mouse game for us…”     Ernest made me look at him and said, “Celeste… stay here… at least for today….”   I asked, “what about dad?... my mom? I need to tell them”      Ernest said, “you really underestimated your father… and your mother’s protection can be handled… but priority is you, you need to be safe and Steven must be going crazy by now…”   I nodded and said, “ok… but just today… I will go home tomorrow… as you said my dad can protect me” his face become expressionless.   He said to Evelyn, “remember what I said Cherry..” she nodded. Alexis said, “should we go” Ernest nodded.    Ernest said to Aaron, “stay here…. and keep eye on Cherry..”  Evelyn said, “I am not a kid..” Aaron put his hand over Evelyn’s shoulder and said, “yea.. you are just baby Cherry..”
