Roofies.

I had no idea what that was but it was in Nicolas' system. A lot of it.

Theo explained that they were a very strong sleeping drug, but also sold illegally to be used to rape people. Fucked up people would spike your drink with roofies, you'd end up drinking it and lose consciousness so that they could take advantage of you.

That's what happened to Nicolas at that party. Someone spiked almost all of his drinks and raped him.

It took Hector a month to piece everything together and find the culprit, but when he did everything got even worse.

Nicolas was still trying to heal from what happened. He barely ate and locked himself up in his room. The only time he came out was to go to the gym and punch the shit out of the punching bag.

But when he learned that Arabella Bianchi did that to him, I think his world crashed.

She was the daughter of the underboss of Brooklyn. She was a year older than him but I don't think that he thought a small girl would ever be able to hurt him.

But she didn't put up a fair fight. She took advantage of him in the grossest way possible.

No matter how much we tried to tell him that it wasn't his fault, he still felt ashamed.

Especially when Hector approached Arabella's father, Tomas Bianchi, who told him that she was pregnant and Nicolas was the father.

Leonardo wasn't even allowed in Nicolas' room when we heard the news. I could see how he was blaming himself for something he was a victim of.

It broke my heart to see him like this but he won't let anyone in. All we could do right now was wait for him to let us in and help him.

Omniscient teller:

Hector felt an inexplicable rage when someone hurt his younger siblings. He wanted to tear the person who hurt them to pieces and completely destroy them. Even that wasn't satisfactory for him. He wanted to completely obliterate them.

Arabella Bianchi was a crazy bitch. He didn't need to talk to her to know. She had that look in her eyes that told him she was absolutely insane.

"I don't know where you get this rape narrative from. Nicolas and I had consensual sex." She dared to lie to him.

They were in the warehouse. He preferred to use his office at home over the one at the warehouse. But he didn't want to welcome the Bianchi's in his family home.

"Haven't you heard about Hector's sixth sense? He always knows when you lie to him." Alexander spoke up.

Alexander Ferrari was here as well. His fiancé was pregnant with another man's child and his underboss had fucked up.

"I'm not lying!" She scoffed.

Hector kept staring at her and it made her uncomfortable. Good. That's what he wanted. Silas walked towards her chair and slapped her hard across the face. She nearly stumbled out of her chair if her father hadn't caught her.

"You like to hit pregnant women?" He snarled at Silas.

"No, I like to hit bitches who come after my siblings."

Arabella's cheek had turned red while Hector continued to stare at her.

"You continue to lie to me, Arabella, but I'm warning you."

She didn't reply and crossed her arms over her chest like the spoiled child she was. Theo rolled his eyes and pulled up a file.

"You were never pregnant, to begin with." He stated.
