"C'mon we need to get you ready." There was a begging tone in Tamaya's voice. Something is telling me to listen to her or have more blood on my hands. She began walking and followed behind her. 

"You have a lot to explain," I whispered so no one could hear us. Tamaya sighed and held her head high, even though I could see the water in her eyes. 

"Where do I even start?"

"The beginning. I see you've changed, so do tell." She sighed with a sad smile on her face.

"When...I was 5."

"But Mama I should be at school.." I struggled against my mother's grip when she kept dragging me to the place she got her 'sugar' from. I didn't like being there, especially with how all those people stared at me like I was prey.

"Mama needs you for something until she can find a nice rich man to marry so we can have a better life." I could hear her lies over and over again but I loved her and wanted to help her. I was young but that was perfect I guess.

That day, she traded me for an opportunity to meet Mr.DeLore. Again, they slept together once and that ended with me. She wanted him more than anything even drugs. I was just a little temporary payment, she came back for me years later but I was already so damaged. I had to lie and say I was with a family member all those years even though my father already knew where I was and he made quite the profit off of his "slut of a daughter that sleeps with a million men". 

I learned at a young age that women aren't anything but objects to be played with unless they take that power into their own hands.

A client I had when I was about 13, a year before I was finally free. I would manipulate him into bringing me gifts. Clothes, extra money, and some educational books. I was only allowed outside if I was with a pimp or another woman. No school, no friends, and no freedom unless I had enough to buy it myself.

"Even after I was out, adopted by my father with riches and shit. I never really let any of that go. I remembered everything I needed to have power over others. I-I am learning now to be better, I want my baby to live a good life. I'm so sorry, Leoanna."

She started crying and I just hugged her, I was crying too because I understand the shitty childhood but not to her level.

"Mrs. Rivers was a therapist. I think talking to her will help, it did for me."

Tamaya smiled and wiped her tears away. "I would appreciate the help. Oh!"

She spoke quietly. "I don't think they got a chance to tell you that I sent a warning, you'll be out of here before..."

"Before wha-" I noticed her makeup running down her face. She had bruises all over, some new and others already turning yellow. I stepped back and stared down at her stomach.

"He beats you while you're pregnant?"

"Never the baby, but yes he does and he wants to do the same to you. His obsession over ruining women is so sick it reminds me of my father."

"We'll get out of here, alive and well." She frowned. 

"You promise?" Tamaya being so submissive breaks my heart. She seemed so sure of herself back in school.

"I promise, Tamaya."

We heard people coming toward us so she hurried me into a bathroom. "You must get cleaned up and dressed by 6:30. He wants to have dinner with you."

He is full of shit. I nod to her and she leaves in a rush. I'm gonna make sure they're okay even if I get hurt in the process.

The hot bath wasn't relaxing, mostly because I recall having to wash off my blood from each punishment. I got out with my mind overwhelming me with thoughts and flashbacks. I need Anthony to hurry. Anthony! Shit! Is he okay!? Did they hurt the Rivers? What if! No. Stop thinking about all of this.

I settled down and put on the distasteful silk green dress. It's revealing. The twins are going to be here, I already know. I need to make sure they meet their real family. A few knocks came from the door. Tamaya opened it with a melancholy expression. "Change of plans, Leoanna."

"What do you mean?"

"Seems like dinner is going to a ballroom party."

"And?" I was confused about what is so bad about that.

"And...every single mafia or gang will be there. Including the Rivers. I think they are planning something big however so is Hyun."
