Haruka placed his hand over her arm to comfort her which made her look at him sadly. "I understand you are attempting to comfort me child, but it's not going to work. The damage done to me is never going to heal."

"I'm not a child..I might be a bit younger than you but you don't need to call me that." He said pouting

"Isumi get used to it. If you are more than two years younger than her you will be called 'child' by her. It's just how she is." Kaia said with a smile "It's her way of acknowledging you without stepping over lines, she has odd ways of showing her sincerity towards people."

Rene nodded her head in agreement before she looked at Lily. "So...all the stuff that happened to you did it happen here or at the other place?"

"Neither..." She said shaking her head

Kaia looked confused. "huh?"

"When I was arranged to be around those idiots, I was forced to be where they lived. It didn't matter that this place is huge. They only used me as they saw fit to use me. Which just happens to be a little toy to play with until they found the 'perfect woman' for them to be around." Lily said sadly

"I know you don't like talking about your past sweetie, but...just what happened to you that made you have so many bad scars on you?"

"It's not just what you see that is scarred up Senpai...I...I have a lot more deeper ones on my back." Lily said before she grabbed her phone and showed her a picture of what her back looked like.

Ayano almost dropped Lily's phone as she covered her mouth. "Lily...How the hell are you alive woman?!"

"Spite."

"No shit!"

"As for your previous question Senpai...It...it really is a horrible thing for me to remember."

"As Isumi said-no one here is going to judge you. We're friends here. No one is going to say shit about what is going to be said to them." Ayano said sincerely to her

Lily took a deep breath and shut her eyes. "I was twenty when I got with Kai, it was my birth giver last try at getting me to obey her wishes. Kai wanted nothing to do with me, he ignored me and didn't even want to get to know me. It wasn't until two months into being around him that he chose to have interest in me, it wasn't until later I found out that he found out about the money I have in bank. Knowing that I wasn't some poor woman he was being forced to marry he chose to actually try to be decent. But that quickly shattered after month six, when he got himself drunk and forced himself on me. He strangled me and told me to keep quiet, that he wasn't supposed to touch me until the two of us got married but he didn't like having to sleep beside me so close without touching me. So he was going to do what he wanted when he wanted...which was just what he did."

Lily opened her eyes and she looked at Ayano. "Every other day since then for the next two years after that day it happened. It didn't matter if I was cycling or not, when I was he was twice as mean to me and chose to hit, kick and throw me around when I wouldn't want to do anything with him around those times. After a bit I just stopped fighting him-I completely gave up. I didn't want to be hurt anymore...which even after that I ended up finding him with a girl in his room when I went to tell him that he got me pregnant...When he found out that he had done what he had, the abuse got worse. He tied me down to one of his bed frame legs as he ripped my clothes off. He had hit me many times on the back with his belt and with his laptop cord. He kicked me in the stomach as well as stomping my face into the floor before trying to pierce my eye out while he raped me one last time. Which was when his father found out what had happened due to all of my crying and pleading for him to stop. His father kicked his son from me and took me to the hospital after he had unbound me and wrapped me in a towel. I ended up having a cast on my arms and on one of my legs, I also lost the child that I had in me because of all of the harsh kicking that he had done."

Ayano teared up as she heard what Lily said. "Y-You poor thing."

"That'll explain why you were so passionate about helping Serina out with her ex. You have a personal vendetta against males who aren't loyal...don't you?" Sarina asked

"Mhm, I do. I hate them with a passion. Luckily from my own knowledge and background checks, all of the males in my house right now are loyal so for now I will be kind to them." Lily said with a nod of her head

Kaia and Rene got up and hugged her tightly. "Big sissy mom shouldn't have ever had that evil man get near you!" Rene said through her sobs

"We never knew you went through so much! We're sorry we never contacted you or came here to visit you!" Kaia said sadly through her own sobs

"Why is that you two hadn't seen me?"

"I'm in college right now." Kaia said sadly sniffling "I have a short break right now before I go back."

"As am I...last year of it. I'm getting my business degree so I can help papa out since Kika and Kiku don't know what the hell they're doing." Rene said sniffling

Lily gave them both sad smiles "Well if it's the case of education. I can forgive that, I know college isn't easy. I went through college twice. Once for my law degree then a second for a business degree."

"Wait...the numbers don't add up. How did you get both before you're thirty sis?" Rene asked confused

"I skipped middle and high school kiddo. Get left behind more than enough times you get bored enough to read all of the books in the library and then some. Reading has become one of the few past times I've had to get used to over the years."

Kaia and Rene looked at her utterly stunned. "No way..."

"It's true." Lily said with a smile  "Now on a different note, after the verdict with father you two and your significant others will need to come back here so we can talk about you four getting married. I honestly don't care who you marry as long as they love and care for you-which I've already confirmed with the two males that they do for the two of you. Which is all well and fine with me. As your big sister I want to be sure that you are taken care of and loved by at least someone who is older than you."

"thank you big sis." They said in unison

Tenn looked at Sarina "You could learn a few things from lily about being an elder sibling."

"Oh shut it Tenn! I'm not talking to him."

"Him being Akabane Karma? I know of him, he gripes to me from time to time about his ignorant elder sister who is too much of a scary cat to face him. He is married y'know."

"If the woman's name is Kat I don't want to know anymore."

"Nope, not even close." Lily said shaking her head

Sarina looked confused "He didn't stay with her?"

"Nope, he's with someone name Shyla. Apparently they work hand in hand together which I find kinda cute." Lily said with a small smile

"so what the hell happened to the brat Ibiki Kat?"

"She died in a car accident a few years ago, I had to put the dude back together since he wanted to drink his sorrows away. He's trying to move on from her death with Shyla. So far it's working-but he really needs his elder sister there for him. You two are all you two have left now, you need to be the big sister he needs in life. I understand you've basically raised him all your life, but your his big sister it's going to be like that. Until I was disowned I raised Gena, Rene and Kaia. You have to suck it up and deal with the fact that you have a brat for a younger brother who will always get on your nerves. It's what younger siblings do, it's what they're there for."

Sarina let out a sigh "I...I guess I can talk to him."

"Good, cause he'll be over later tonight. He's busy right now so he told me he'll be coming over around five. So until then you aren't going anywhere missy so don't think that I'm just going to let you leave without seeing your brother." Lily said seriously

"Fine."
