"Please will you sit back down, so we can talk about this?" Clarisse asked and watched him move, sitting back down opposite her "Thank you." She added and watched him take her drink and took a couple sips.

"How could Gabby not believe her own daughter," Joseph whispered and looked at Clarisse "What happened Clarisse? What else did Cara say?" He dare ask "Oh my god, did he...?" He whispered while looking at Clarisse as she shook her head.

"She told me that he had asked her to sleep with him when her Mom was out, when she refused he turned nasty and attacked her," Clarisse whispered, her heart breaking so much having to tell him this "Luckily her Brother arrived home from school earlier than what they thought, or I hate to think what would of happened." She said and took her drink back, taking a sip.

"I can't believe this," He said standing up and started pacing the room "Did he touch Rose?"

"He didn't, that Cara knows off and I'm sure if he had, Rose would of told us by now." She said and watched him.

"Yeah well Cara is only just telling us now." Joseph said as Clarisse turned and looked at him standing behind the couch.

"Yes that's right she is, but her and Cara are completely different." She said and watched him carry on walking around the room "Cara hides her feelings, always has but when something is bothering Rose she tells us and I think if it had happened to her she would of told us by now." She watched as Joseph nodded.

"Is Cara ok?" Joseph said and stood with his hands on his hips.

"She's sleeping right now, but I know she would like to talk to you at some point." Clarisse said and lent on the arm of the couch, watching him "I know your getting really angry Joseph."

"I'm so mad right now its unreal." He exclaimed and turned punching the wall, making Clarisse jump "I'm going to kill him." He said heading towards the door as Clarisse jumped up and rushed over to him, pushing the door shut, stopping him from going out "Get out of my way dammit."

"No." Clarisse exclaimed and stepped closer to him, putting her hands up, cupping his face "Listen to me Joseph, and I mean listen to me, Ok?" She exclaimed as he fought his anger "I know you are really angry over this, I am too and I am sure if I was close enough, I would end up doing something I too would regret, but going over to England and killing this waste of space man wouldn't do anyone any good," She said and looked into his eyes "If this gets out to the Police, the first person they will look at is you, being her Father Joseph." She said trying to relax him "And do you think you'd be any good to Cara, or any of the others from behind bars?" She asked.

"No, but he just..." He stopped when she stepped closer and kissed him "That's not fair."

"Joseph, shut up." She exclaimed, cupping his face again "We are meant to be getting married soon, how can I get married if your inside? Don't do this to your family Joe, please? We really need you more than ever right now and going to kill this man wouldn't help matters." She whispered and rested her forehead against his as he put his hands on her sides.

"I'm sorry, I will try and calm myself." He whispered and kissed her while wrapping his arms around her waist.

"After you've fully calmed down, I will call Gabby and find out her side of the story?" She offered as he nodded "Ok, now lets go and clean your hand up." She answered while taking his other hand and led him through to her bathroom, forcing him to hold his hand under the tap.

"Honestly Clarisse, my hand is fine." He whispered while watching her get the first aid box from under the sink "I just wished it was his face,"

"I know, I think we both wished that." Clarisse answered while standing up and got a bandage out of the box.

"I'm glad your here though, I'm not sure what I would of done if you hadn't been." He said, watching her.

"I'm sure you would be on the plane heading to England by now." Clarisse said looking up at him then down at his hand as she started wrapping it in the bandage.

"Probably." He answered and closed his eyes.

"Don't worry darling, I have heard that Karma is a bitch." She smiled as he laughed and opened his eyes.

"Yes, I heard that too." He nodded and hugged her "Thank you Clarisse."

"No problem." She smiled.

Coming out into the suite a short time later, Clarisse moved the phone and put it on the coffee table.

"Ok Joseph you need to be quiet ok, because if she knows your in the room she won't speak." Clarisse said while looking up at him "Got it?"

"Yes," He nodded and stood back as Clarisse pressed the call out button and dialed her number.

After a moment she answered.

"Hello Gabby speaking."

"Gabby it's Clarisse, I need to talk to you about Cara." Clarisse said looking at Joseph.

"Ah." She answered "I knew this day was going to come."

"So you've been expecting it?" Clarisse asked and looked down at the phone.

"Yes," Gabby nodded to herself "And just so you know, I'm sticking by my husband." She answered.

"Husband?" Clarisse asked while looking up at Joseph, as he stepped forward.

"Yes, we got married 2 weeks ago." Gabby answered.

Clarisse put her hand up to Joseph, and pointed to him to step back "I don't understand how you could marry someone who asks your daughter for sex, then when she refused he attacked her, how could you call your daughter a liar Gabby?" Clarisse asked and put her hands on her knees while leaning forward, starting to get angry.

"Because that's what she did, she lied to me." Gabby answered "When I asked him about it, he denied it."

"And you believed him over your own daughter?" Clarisse asked while looking up at Joseph, who knew she was getting angry from the tone in her voice.

"Yes." Gabby answered.

"How could you?" Clarisse asked as Joseph folded his arms, watching her.

"It was really quite easy Clarisse, maybe you should try it with one of your daughters." Gabby answered as Clarisse gasped.

"There's a difference Gabby, I actually love my children, including Cara and Rose, who I might add I have seen as my own ever since they were babies and if any one of them came to me and told me something like this I would certainly believe them." She said putting her hand on the table next to the phone "I know Cara doesn't want to see you ever again and I am pretty sure when Rose finds out about this she wouldn't want to see you again either."

"Is that a threat?" Gabby asked.

"Take it as you so please, but I will tell you something Gabby you don't deserve the title of Mom, you disgust me to the point where I want to throw up. I not only feel sorry for your kids you have now, but your parents too, I just hope that they are aware of the daughter they raised, because I know if you were mine I wouldn't want anything to do with you!" She stopped to take a deep breath "I hope that you and your Husband will be very happy together, and please don't you ever ever come looking for the girls when you find out what a scum bag he actually is!" She fumed and hung up as Joseph punched the air.

"I can't believe you just did that." Joseph smirked and watched as Clarisse held her head in her hands "Clarisse, I'm so proud and I know Cara will be too." He smiled while moving next to her, and gave her a kiss as someone knocked on the door.

"Come in." Clarisse said looking at Joseph then towards the door as Rose appeared "Rose, darling is everything ok?" She asked as Rose looked down.

"What's wrong?" Joseph asked while standing up and walked over to her.

"There are some Police here, they want to speak with Cara." She said as Clarisse and Joseph looked at each other.

"It will be fine," Joseph whispered and took Clarisse's hand "Why don't you go and get Cara and we will meet you downstairs in the living room?" He asked.

"Ok," Clarisse nodded and left with Rose.

As they went to get Cara, Joseph headed downstairs and showed them into the living room.

Coming in the room a few moments later as everyone stood up.

"I think you know why we are here?" The officer said and watched as Cara nodded.

"I do," She said as Joseph and Clarisse looked at each other.

"And your 100 percent sure you want to file this complaint?" They asked and watched her nod.

"I do." Cara nodded and got her phone from her pocket "I have evidence too." She said fiddling with her phone as Clarisse and Joseph looked on in confusion.

"Would you mind if we kept this?" They asked.

"Sure, that's the only photos on there and I deleted all my contacts so do as you please with it." Cara nodded and watched them go through the photos.

"You certainly took a good few photos, this will help in the case." The officer nodded "You are being very brave over this,"

"I need to be, I have a young sister I need to look out for." Cara answered, as Clarisse realized what was going on and moved sitting on the arm of the chair she was sitting in and put her arm around her back "I know we have my families support, but I need to do this."

"We understand." They nodded and watched as Clarisse kissed the top of Cara's head "You are lucky indeed to have such a wonderful family."

"Thanks." Cara answered.

"Can we talk to you on your own, we need to ask you some questions."

"Of course." Cara nodded and looked at Clarisse and Joseph "I will come and find you when I'm done, ok?"

"Ok," Clarisse nodded and hugged her as Joseph walked over to the door.

Leaving them to talk they headed out into the foyer to find Rose and Amelia sat waiting, moving into the kitchen to give them some privacy seconds later.

"What's going on?" Rose asked.

"We can't tell you anything yet, that's up to Cara." Clarisse answered and sat down at the table.

"Oh." Rose answered.

"Come on Rose, let's go and find Lexi and Lena." Amelia offered and walked out as Clarisse nodded slowly then looked at Joseph.

A couple hours later Cara headed to the kitchen.

"Hey," Clarisse said when she saw her at the door.

"Are you ok?" Joseph asked as he stood up.

"I am," Cara nodded as Joseph hugged her "I'm sorry for everything I have put you through and will understand if you don't want me to stay here anymore, as I understand that what I did yesterday I brought shame on the family, well not just the family but on the Royal family too." She said looking down as she started crying "And I'm so sorry." She whispered while wiping her eyes as Clarisse stood up.

"Don't be darling," She said standing next to her "Everything's fine, and why would we want you to move out?" She asked while wrapping her arms around her.

"You mean I can stay?" She asked as Joseph reached over and cupped her cheek.

"Yes you can stay, in fact I will be very upset if you ever did move out." Clarisse said and kissed her forehead "Just remember that when you do decide to move on when your older." She smiled as Cara laughed a little.

"Ok," Cara nodded and wrapped her arms around Clarisse's waist as they stood hugging Joseph smiled.

"Who contacted the Police though?" Clarisse asked as she lifted her head.

"I did," Cara answered "As after you left me I knew Daddy would get to the point where he would want to kill him, and because I don't want to lose my Daddy like I have to the person who called herself my Mom, I knew I had to do something." She whispered "Actually, I never lost my Mom." She said hugging Clarisse tightly "I have the best Mom in the whole wide world." She smiled.

"Awww darling," Clarisse smiled and kissed her.

"I'm proud of you, you know that?" Joseph asked as Clarisse let Cara go and watched as she stepped closer to him, hugging each other as they both stood crying.

Clarisse stood crying herself a little as she reached over and brushed her hand down Cara's long hair.

"Come on," Joseph said putting his arm around Cara's shoulders "Let's go for a walk and talk to your sister."

"Ok," Cara nodded and walked out with him.

Clarisse nodded to herself then sat down with a sigh and wiped her eyes free from her tears when not long after Amelia and Lena came back in, sitting with her for a while.

Later that evening after getting Lena to bed Clarisse went to talk to Cara, finding her in bed with Rose.

"Can I come in girls?" She asked as Cara sat up.

"Of course," She nodded and watched her walk in and close the door "Is everything ok?"

"Yeah, I just came to say goodnight and to let you know that," Clarisse said sitting on the edge of the bed as Rose sat up "No matter what happens ok, I will always be your Mom." She smiled while reaching over and took hold of their hands "I knew you when you were born but you back then of course knew me as Aunt Clari," She smiled.

"We remember." Rose nodded.

"We were so over the moon when you finally hooked up with Daddy again," Cara giggled.

"Yeah and telling us when we were in the mall that we could be bridesmaids," Rose smiled.

"Yeah, we are still waiting on that by the way?" Cara asked.

"I know and don't worry I will make sure your Father arranges that you can be my bridesmaids." Clarisse smiled as they moved and hugged her "I am always here for you both, if ever you have a problem ok." She whispered while putting her arms around them.

"We know," Cara nodded and sat up, looking at her "Thank you for everything today,"

"Not a problem." Clarisse smiled and cupped her face "I'm just glad I could be there for you."

"I'm glad you were there for me too," Cara nodded as Rose watched them "And Mom?"

"Yeah?" Clarisse said while looking at her.

"I don't hate you, I LOVE you." She giggled and hugged her.

"Good, because I love you too." Clarisse nodded and wrapped her arms around her.

Pulling apart a few minutes later Clarisse cupped their cheeks with a smile.

"I can't believe how grown up you've both become, I am so proud of you both." She smiled.

"Thank you." Rose smiled and hugged her.

"Ok, now I know you have only just become friends again but we've had a busy day so please don't stay up too late," She smiled while standing up "Or there will be trouble."

"Does that go for you and Daddy too?" Rose smirked as Cara gasped "You and Daddy can't stay up late either, and believe me we will know if you did or not." She giggled as Clarisse grabbed a pillow and playfully hit her with it, getting into a pillow fight seconds later.

"Ok ok," Clarisse exclaimed while trying to pull herself away "I'm going now."

"Be good then and don't stay up to late." Cara giggled as Clarisse looked back at them.

"Only kidding," Rose giggled with Cara "We love you."

"And we love you too." Clarisse smiled and headed over to the doors "See you in the morning." She nodded.

"Goodnight," Cara smiled and blew her a kiss.

Pulling up the door with a small smile, heading back to her suite, shutting and locking the door behind her. Walking through to the bedroom to find that Joseph was out on the balcony.

"What are you doing out here, it's freezing?" Clarisse asked while standing next to him and put her arms around his waist from the side.

"I was just thinking," He said while looking at her "Did you talk with Cara and Rose?"

"Yes I did," Clarisse nodded with a small smile "I told them that they've had a busy day and not to stay up to late." She smiled.

"And what did they say to that?" He asked with a chuckle while turning to her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders as she left hers around his waist.

"They replied with, well that goes for you and Daddy too." She smirked.

"Oh really now?" He asked while moving his arms up her back, brushing her hair back, running his fingers through it as she smiled up at him "We will have to see about that." He whispered and kissed her a few times.

"Mmmm we will," She smiled and studied his face "I'm proud of you, you know?" She asked as he raised his eyebrow at her "Well you were pretty angry earlier and you didn't run to the airport, if this happened a few years ago you would of been in London now."

"I know," He nodded while locking his arms around her shoulders and looked up at the sky for a second before looking back down into her eyes "I guess you tamed me?" He said with a cheeky smile.

"Oh no I hope not," She whispered while placing her hands on his back "I really hope I haven't." She exclaimed.

"Don't worry, you have tamed me on some things, just a few other things you can NOT tame me on." He winked and hugged her.

"Good," She smiled as they stepped back "Come on, I think it's time we got to bed." She said heading back inside, followed by Joseph who shut and locked the french doors behind them.
