Author's Note: Hey guys! This is my second story. It takes place after the events of my first story. I never actually planned to write a spin-off but this is for you guys who were wondering what became of Lili afterwards, so that's what gave me the inspiration for this one, but anyways... Here it is, enjoy!

Prologue:

J'ai aimé jusqu'à atteindre la folie. Ce que certains appellen la folie, mais ce qui pour moi, est la seule façon d'aimer.

I have loved to the point of madness, that which is called madness, that which to me, is the only sensible way to love.

Chapter 1

In a small and dull room devoid of furniture apart from a table and two chairs situated opposite each other, sat a young woman staring blankly ahead while plaiting her long blonde hair which was all draped over to the right side of her shoulder. Out side the room was the very mild muffled sounds of people talking signaling that the guard outside was not alone. Hearing the sound of keys jingling, the young lady's eyes came to life as Dr Dubois entered the room.

"Good morning, miss," said Dr Dubois.

"Morning, Doc. I prefer "Lili," if you don't mind."

"Alright... Lili," said Dr Dubois. "I trust that you have completed your little assignment."

Without saying a word, Lili slipped her art book across the table to Dr Dubois.

"Right, so Emilie, it has come to my attention that you have a rather strained relationship with your father."

"It's "Lili!" How many times do I have to remind you?!" snapped Lili.

"Miss... I am just trying to help you," said Dr Dubois.

"How can I trust you to help me when you can't even remember something so simple?" hissed Lili.

"What do you have against people calling you by your real name? Has it got something to do with your father?"

Lili scoffed as she shrugged uncomfortably in her seat.

"Lili... I'm here to help you," said Dr Dubois. "But I cannot do that if you're not willing to be honest with me," she said calmly.

Lili hesitated for a moment. "Yes! Its my father, ok! Are you happy now?!" she finally said.

"Yes. So tell me more about it," said Dr Dubois as she jotted down some notes onto her notebook.

"For some reason," Lili began, "he just stopped calling me "Lili" after my mom died. I guess he just didn't want to be reminded of her."

"I believe you also had trouble accepting your mothers death."

"He didn't even let me say goodbye," said Lili as she struggled to hold back her tears.

"Its ok, Lili. Let it all out."

"No! Its not ok!" snapped Lili as the tears spilled. "Crying was just a sign of weakness in his eyes! He was constantly away "on business" just so that he didn't have to deal with me. It was like I wasn't even his daughter! I was all alone!" said Lili as she broke down in sobs.

"Do you hate your father?"

"You have got no idea!" said Lili in obvious disdain.

"Have you ever thought that your father might have had difficulty coping just as much as you did. Maybe he thought he was just doing what was best..."

"Oh, no, Doc! I think we both know that he did what was best more for himself, whether he had my best interests or not. His way of being there for me was sending me off to a string of psychiatrists, having Sabastian watch over me and leaving a fortune in my trust fund or buying me whatever I wanted just as long as I was out of his way, he couldn't care less! I tried so hard to win over my father's affection. Eventually I just gave up cos nothing I do is ever good enough for him!"

"But wouldn't you like to build a relationship with your father, I'm sure that he would definitely like to make up for all the lost time," said Dr Dubois.

Lili scoffed, "We've never had a good relationship to begin with so I don't really see the point of starting now."

"Oh, and why is that?"

Lili chuckled, "Cos I've learnt from such a young age not to get your hopes up, you'll only end up extremely disappointed. I just got to a point where I stopped myself from hoping he could change."

Dr Dubois remained silent for a moment. All she could see was a seriously broken woman sitting before her, damaged by all the years of neglect.

"Lili..." Dr Dubois began, "Would you be ok with your father being present in our next meeting?"

"Uhh... That would be rather pointless but be my guest..." said Lili.

"Right. This will be enough for today," said Dr Dubois. "But I think we've made some really good progress," she said as she closed her book and started packing everything away into her brief case. "I will see you again soon, Miss Lili. Until then keep well."

A/N: Hey guys, please tell me what you think. Should I continue? Or should I not?
