(Christian's pov)

Christian came down from his daughter's room. His anger was somewhat less but he was still pissed at her. Why did she do that? Can't she just follow some simple rules laid out for her safety? But the big question is where did she go? And with whome? Why can't she just tell me? When I was punishing her I almost stopped at her cries but She needs to learn that She cannot defy me in any way She has always been so stubborn like ana but never he thought that phoebe would do something this stupid or reckless. He really felt bad for doing this to her but there was no other option this will make sure that this doesn't happen again he promised Ana that he would never beat any of his children ever but this time, after what happened with teddy…..he just had to do it. Phoebe won't understand this now but maybe She will in future…..

Christian didn't even realize that he had been pacing in the corridor of his daughters room for the last 20 minutes. He opens the door , just to check that She is ok. When he opens it he finds his daughter in the middle of the bed laying on her side curled up in a ball sobbing. All he wanted to do at that moment was to go there and comfort her, but he stopped himself how can he sooth her pain when he is the one that caused it in the first place? He closed the door as he can no longer stand seeing his daughter suffer. So he went to his study hoping that this will distract him

He was in his study for a long time. When he got up he saw the clock beside the desk 3:00 am. He went out of his study and was going upstairs to his bedroom. He thought he should check on phoebe once more. So he went into her room, her door was open he saw that phoebe was standing beside the window, staring at the window. She was still in the same clothes. Maybe she needs time to recover.

He closed the door and went to his bedroom; Ana was in the bed sleeping peacefully. Instantly his mood was calm he crawled to the bed beside her, put an arm across her pulling her closer to his chest. This was all that he needed. He eventually slept peacefully…

Christian wakes up he looks beside him for ana but she is not there, he hears shower running and a moment later ana comes out wearing a towel.

"Ana you look so tired. Get some sleep"

"Christian its 7'o clock in the morning. I have to get ready and make breakfast"

"But ana you are clearly not in shape. You look tired, just get some rest"

"I promise Christian I will, after breakfast; I'll have a nap okay?"

"Fine, I'm going to go shower, meet you downstairs…."

As I get ready and go down, ana is feeding Luke. I sit down at the breakfast bar. I look around where is phoebe? Is She still sleeping? Phoebe never sleeps in. should I go check on her? Phoebe enters the kitchen. Her eyes look sullen, She has dark circles in her eyes, She comes and sits on her usual spot; her head is down She is avoiding eye contact. She probably came because She knew if She didn't came down herself I'll come upstairs maybe that's why. But I'm glad She is here.

Ana places phoebes favorite cereal in front of her. She doesn't even acknowledges her, keeping her eyes on the bowl She pours herself some, which in my opinion is not enough for her. But I don't say anything I watch her silently as She takes the bowl and goes upstairs into her room .

"Christian" Ana says trying to get my attention "what did you do last night? Why is She behaving like this?"

"I punished her for what She did"

"WHAT! Christian you promised not to. Then why?"

"Ana She deserved it. Do you think I enjoyed it? I hate seeing my children in pain but this was necessary. Do you even have an idea what could've happened? She could've been kidnapped? Or worse killed. I had to make sure that this doesn't happen again. Especially since she never told what happened or where She went"

"You could've GROUNDED her. Did you think that by doing this she'll tell you? This is no way to treat a CHILD. I'm going to see her" She walks past him but he catches her wrist

"Leave her alone Ana she deserves this don't go there and deflate the purpose of my punishment after what She did. Leave her alone give her time to think over what has She done, let her see the reason behind it"

He must have sounded reasonable because she stops and returns back to Luke

"Fine, but make sure that She is ok. It is your job since you won't let me go"

"Thank you"

(PHOEBE'S POV)

She woke up in the morning after having a nightmare She glanced at the clock 1:45 Am. She got off the bed because she didn't wanted to go to sleep fearing that her nightmare will return. She went to the kitchen to have a glass of water. She saw that her father's study was open. May be he is working but why would he work late …. Never mind She went back to her room She wanted to go out in the garden but after recent events She thought that She will never be allowed to go out again. How can her father be so cruel? The man that adored her more than his own life. she stood at the window this was the least She could do right now. She didn't even wanted to recall what happened yesterday night. Why did he had to di that didn't he see that She was scared enough? She can never forgive what he did to her?

She saw was the sun rose up a beautiful day starting with a beautiful sunrise. But nothing was beautiful in her life anymore and after her nightmare she feels even more scared right now. She looked at the clock 7:00 Am She knows that She should get ready and go down for breakfast but She doesn't want to but She knows that if She didn't somebody will come looking for her eventually. So She dragged herself into the shower, brushed her teeth and wore the first thing that She saw which was a cotton t shirt and her favorite capree

She came down for breakfast hoping that her father might be late and She can go back to her room. But she finds him sitting at his usual spot drinking a glass of orange juice like nothing happened. She didn't want to meet him in the eye because so She sat at her usual spot as her mother places a bowl and her cereal in front of her. Usually She would greet her with a smile but She had no reason to smile left so she stick to the plan and kept her head down. At first she thought that She can do it. But She can't so She took some of the cereal and milk into her bowl and did what She thought was the best, She left the kitchen and headed toward her room.
