Serena's POV

After dinner last night, Rini ran into the bathroom before I could speak to her. I talked to Darien and he explained that Rini was having a hard time in school with people bullying her. That explained the bruises on her face. Darien said he'd go up to the school with Rini and have a talk with the principal.

'Gosh, God really must have loved me, to give me such a wonderful husband.' I thought.

The day went by quickly and by the time Rini got home from school, I ahd to go out and meet up with Rei, Ami, Lita, and Mina.

'Speaking of Mina, I have to find out if she's seen Luna lately.'

Rini ran upstairs to her room when she got in. I went upstairs to check on her, but her door was locked.

"Rini, sweetheart. I have to go out and meet up with the gang. Daddy will be home shortly, so you don't have to worry."

As I turned away from the door to head back downstairs, Rini rushed out her room and grabbed hold of me.

"Please don't leave, Mommy," she begged.

"Sweetheart, you know I have a duty to this world."

"Please..."

"Well, I have to go, so..." I hesitated."You can come along if you like."

"Oh, yes!" Rini exclaimed.

I swear I never seen her so excited to go somewhere with me. Rini ran inside her room and grabbed her backpack, jacket, and Luna P.

As we headed downstairs, Darien was just coming in from work. Rini grabbed my hand and looked up at me with fear in her eyes.

"Hey, sweety," Darien said, walking over to us.

He gave me a long passionate kiss, that erased all the thoughts in my head. He pulled away and bent down to give Rini a peck on the cheek. I felt her hand tighten as he reached to give her a hug.

"So..., where are ya'll headed?" he asked.

"We goin' to meet up with Rei, Ami, Lita, and Mina." I said.

Rini tugged my hand gestured toward the door. Something was going on, I could feel it.

"Well, I'll see you later honey," I concluded.

"Bye, then." Darien replied, while taking his jacket off.

Rini's POV

As we were walking out the door, I could feel his eyes burning in my back. I turned around to close the door and gave a look of triumph to Darien. This only made him angry. I closed the door and felt a dark pit in my stomach when I remembered that I would have to come back home to him.

'Hmph,' I thought. "Maybe I can get Rei, Mina, Ami, and Lita to let me stay with them for tonight."

I payed no further thought to it until we got in the car.

"Rini, baby," Mommy said as she started the car and pulled out of the driveway. "Is there something going on between you and Daddy, you want to tell me about?"

My heart tore as I looked into her worried face. Oh, how I wished to tell her what Daddy has been doing to me and how he slips into my room in the middle of the night.

I gave a deep sigh and said,"Mommy, I love you. Please believe me and don't hate me." Tears started pouring out my eyes. "Daddy's been sneaking in my room and raping me!"

I could see the shock in her eyes, and knew, right then and there, that she didn't believe me.

"YOU WRETCHED LITTLE BITCH!" SHE SCREAMED. "YOU LIE!!! HOW FUCKIN' DARE YOU!"

Mommy swerved the car around and headed to the house.

"NO! You can't!" I yelled. "He's going to KILL ME!!!"

"SHUT UP, HOAR!" Mommy shouted, slapping me in my face.

She pulled into the driveway and turned off the ignition. Mommy grabbed me by the hair and dragged me inside the house.
