⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️TW RAPE AND ED ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

Leo's POV:
Right now Ember is currently passed out in my arms. I don't know what happened but when I showed her the picture she started shaking and crying  uncontrollably. She passed out after like half an our of me comforting her. She kept saying this can't be true or how.

I laid her down and went to call stefanio.

"Ciao"

"Stefaio I showed emebr the picture and she had a panic attack. She fell asked about 10 minute ago. Who was that man?"

"Luca had to hack into a huge firewall they hid their identity very well like they were hiding."

"Ok who is it then?"

"Her step father."

Embers POV
I wake up with a pounding headache. Shit I don't remember drinking.
My door suddenly opens and Leo walks in soon the memories come flooding back.

"Ok so Xander and Ace left and your father called me and told me about the lead." He says as he sits on the edge of the bed. "He said that it's not a mafia targeting you it's some old hag we can't find anything on him all we have is a picture." He pulls out his phone and soon my world comes crashing down.

My stepfather.

A hand on my shoulder breaks me out of my thoughts.

I look up and see Leo looking at me with eyes filled with concern. "You said your step father was dead how would he be targeting you?" He asked me.

"I don't know, the last time I saw him was the night before I left." I start thinking about that night.

Kendal was out grabbing our favorite takeaway down in the city. I was watching Netflix when I heard a knock at the door. No one we knew at the time knew about our apartment. I opened the door and my step father was standing there waiting for me. I tried to close the door but he shoved it open.

"So this is Where my little Ember has been staying." He made himself comfortable right where I was just sitting. "You do realize you did something bad right?" 

I started to run, but not towards the door he would have caught me I had no choice but to do what i had to do. Kill him.

If he was some random guy I would have no problem doing so, but he was a man who loved my mother, I felt my mother would hate me if I did anything to him, that's why I never fought back, I let him hurt me for years.

I ran towards my bedroom door. Searching for a knife since I gave Kendal my gun for the Uber. A hand slams the drawer closed. No I can't do this today not right now.

A pinch in my neck breaks me away from my thoughts. I soon fell limp when arms caught me, not the kind that save you, the ones that hurt you.

He threw me on the bed and ripped of my clothing. I couldn't scream, move, I couldn't anything I just had to wait until this nightmare was over.

"Ember. Ember. Ember." Leo says getting louder each time. I look at him and he wipes the gear I didn't know I shed. "What happened?"

"After my mother died my stepfather became addicted alcohol drugs you name it he had it. He steered gambling hoping he could win big. He never won he just lost more and more money. One time he was so desperate for money he pretended like he was sober and told me he was going to change, when I hugged him he stuck a needle in my neck and I felt paralyzed. Soon a giant man walked in my room and handed my stepfather a wad of cash. I'm guessing you and put the pieces together on what later happened." I checked at the last part trying to lighten the mood. "That many took my innocence. My mother always told me if I ever got rapped or did something it consensual it isn't considered sex. So I never said that man took my virginity, I considered myself still a virgin after that happened. But the next week the same thing happened just with a different man, and again and again and again. Soon people figured I wasn't a virgin so they didn't want me. My stepfather got mad at that and started raping me himself. I took the mental and physical abuse for years. Until Marco came and got me." I finished saying.

"Why didn't you just kill him, I mean I know you've killed someone before. Did anything else happen other then rape?"Leo asked baffled by what I just told him.

"I thought about killing him many times but my mother once loved him and I thought if I killed him she would never forgive me. He would make me clean and cook and if dinner wasn't ready or something was messy he would beat me or rape me. He would constantly belittle me by saying I'm fat, worthless, ugly, disgusting, a whore. You name it he called me it. I was never allowed to eat only drink water, that's how I developed my eating disorder." I get scared when a pair of  comforting arms wrap around me squeezing the daylights out of me, but in a comforting way of that's possible.

"I am so sorry we will find him and give him a painful death, if your  mother was here she would have wanted you to kill him no mother would want to see their child go through that. I'm guessing Kendal know as about this?"

"Partly she knows about the beatings but not being raped, o never wanted her to worry about me when things were going on with her parents."

Leo's POV:
Ember is currently in the shower, I feel a lot closer to her from her opening up to me I feel like I should open up to her too. Not out of piety but because I want to.

I'm going to find her step father and torture hi until every drop of blood is out of his body.
