FINISHED!
Roelynn is a shy girl around 5 years old. She is an orphan and lives at the all girls orphanage of Small-Heath. Never in her life would she talk to strangers, but when a certain family of gangsters start to fund the orphanage. Little Roely...
(Pauline's P.O.V.) "Well, after your sister died you gave up all rights to your niece when you left her at the orphange" my lawyer said, "we haven't been able to find a legal loophole". I huffed "you're my lawyer. I'm paying you alot of money to find that loophole". "Actually. Not that much money" he replied simply. "Fine. I'll get you your money. Because I get what I want!" I told him before leaving the office.
A couple of days later
"This better be good news" I sneered at my lawyer and placed a stack of money on his desk. "I believe I have discovered our loophole" he replied grabbing the money. "Wonderfull!" I said in excitement, "you've finally earned your big amount of money". "The child is all yours" he said handing me a document that was signed by a judge.
(Tommy's P.O.V.) "What do you want, Ms Bronze?" I asked stepping through my front door. "I have come to talk Rose... I mean Roe. And I have no time to waste" she told me. "Over my dead body" I growled and felt my fist clench immediatly. "Unfortunatly that won't be necessary" she said with an evil smirk on her face, "this court order gives me legal custody of Roelynn". I took the document from her hands to read it. "It's all there, Mr Shelby. The judge agreed with me that Roelynn is in grave danger with you. And I have custody of her untill the time she opens her mouth and speaks. And there is not much chance of that happening. Is there?" She told me with a laugh. I looked at the document to read it anyway. Maybe I could find something. But sadly she was right. "So? Where is she?" She asked with an evil smirk on her face. My heartached for what I was about to do and with a heavy heart I motioned for her to follow me.
I stood in the doorway and listened to the screams that Roelynn let out. My body shaked and shuddered hearing the raw emotion in her screams. "Please talk... please talk" I begged with a whisper, "just talk.... please". But she never talked, never screamed my name. Nothing as she was picked up and placed in the car. She kicked, punched and hit around her, but she didnt stand a chance against her aunt. "Just one word" I begged her as I was frozen on my spot, "that.. all". But as the car drove off, realisation dawned that I might have lost her forever. Because if she didn't talk now, what does she need to go through to let out a single word. As the car left my driveway, my knees gave way anf I fell to the ground as a painfull scream ripped from my lungs as I felt my heart break.
I was silently sitting in the middle of Roe's room. An emotionless expression on my face, not being able to express anymore of it. I hadn't even noticed the sound of my front door opening and multiple pairs of feet walk in. But then I was quickly grabbed by the collar of my suit and roughly pushed against a wall by my brother Arthur.

I couldn't listen to him, but I knew that he was yelling to me about letting Roe go so easily. He knew that nothing he said to me would register. No matter how hard he yelled, how roughly he shook me around or how tight he gripped me. Polly soon pulled him away from me to have a go at me. She slapped me across thw face and I noticed she was shaking with anger. "Don't you dare look at me like that!" She yelled out and pushed my brothers off from her. "You go after that fucking car. And get her back. She belongs here" she ordered me but I slid down the wall in defeat and shook my head. "I can't" I whispered to her, "why not!" She spat not believing me. I just handed her the court order and saw her face go pale as she read it. She was too stunned to speak aswell. "Its in Roe's hands now" I said with a nod, "we cannot see or be near her while she is with Pauline. If we are, the court will not grant me custody when Roe decides to speak".
