Lost Innocence

SPECIAL CHAPTER

In the secluded part of Beijing was where people normally call squatters area where poor people stay, there are some of them who didn't originally belong there but after seeing his brother get brutally killed by his abusive father he runaway and ended up in that place

"hey there boy" a man in suit came near him

"are you alone?" ask the man and the 14 year old boy can only nod at the man weakly

"w-who are you?" he asked

"I'm just a passerby and I saw you thought you look so pale" the man worriedly said the boy didn't answer

"would you like to come with me" the man asked and the boy only nodded obliviously of the man's intention

The man cleaned him, dressed him prettily and even let him eat whatever he wants but after he fell asleep he didn't expect to wake up in a dark place filled with children of his age and younger

"w-where am I?" he asked puzzled no one answered him as everyone there was either asleep or crying and panicking

"what's your name?" a boy his age and another boy older than them by a year approach him

"who are you?" the boy asked back

"I'm Lance Maxwell and this is Maison Vicente, how about you?" ask the boy of his age

"Stanley Salvatore" he also introduced himself

"so how did you get here?" asked Maison

"someone approached me and here I am" Stanley said hugging his knees

"me and Maison decided to sneak out but we saw some men rapping a little girl it was too late for us to run away though" Lance said remembering the horrible scene they saw that he again starts to cry

"we can't save the girl" Maison

"are you living together?" asked Stanley

"yeah, in the orphanage" Maison answered

"my parents are drug users and abusive so social workers took me" he explained

"my father was killed by some burglar while defending me and my mom and my mom also died after they raped her while I survived after being shot in the stomach" Lance again starts to tremble remembering yet another horrible memory

"I'm sorry" Stanley said and Lance just shake his head

"I runaway from home after seeing my brother brutally killed by my abusive father I end up in the squatters and here" Stanley also shared his life

"what is this? Our lives somehow sucks maybe this is why we are here" Maison said and the three just laugh

Six days, they were left there without food, some of them died there because of hunger and some died because they were beaten up by some men, the seventh day, they were dragged out of that room, everyone was forced to be cleaned, after that they were all send out without any clothes on them, they presented them in their nudity in front of a crowed but before the three was sold out masked men came and rescued everyone

"thank you so much mister" Stanley bowed to his savior, Darcel who was still wearing his mask

"I'll send you home" Darcel said in a soft tone but Stanley just shake his head vigorously

"no please don't" he begged making Darcel puzzled

"can't you take me in mister I promise I can do anything but please don't send me back" Stanley begged and later was joined by Lance and Maison

"alright tell me your reasons" Darcel said

"my father was abusive and he killed my brother brutally I don't want to go back there" Stanley

"my parents are drug users and they usually abuse me so social workers took me but the orphanage also abuse us, they starve us for days and let us work all day" Maison explained

"I don't have parents they were killed by some burglar and I'm in the same orphanage as him" Lance referring to Maison

After hearing their stories Darcel agreed to take them in. He took care of them, the Ashfords became their second family, they made them study and when they turned 16 they joined the mafia but don't take them wrong they started on the lowest rank and work their way up the ladder in such a short time

Three years passed Stanley, Lance and Maison graduated and was already professional after graduating two years ago while Sean now owned his own shop where he sells arts and others. Everyone's lives continued as the bed in that hospital room was now cleaned and emptied for two years now

"you're here" the lady smiled

"the usual I guess" she added

"yes thank you" Sean also smiled

"your seeing him again today I see" the lady said and Sean nodded to her

"take care then" the lady waved after Sean paid for the flowers in his hands

'I'm so exited' he thought as he drove his car towards a certain destination 'I missed him' he thought. Thirty minutes drive and he reached the place, parking his car, he picked the flowers and walked the path towards his final destination

"Darcel Luan Ashford"
