Locked once more(Book 2)

Chapter 36

Adrian catches my view and instantly becomes just as suspicious as me. He knew what she had put us through. That was the first thing I had told him. Trusting him came easy, especially when he tried blocking me from her, and looked straight at Derek and Wes. As if this were some sick twisted joke put aside for me. And to beat it all Riley stood there, nothing but love for our mother in her eyes. After everything she put us through. I was the girls' mother, me. I raised them better than she ever could.

"Derek, what the hell is going on," Adrian asks, concerned for me. Knowing this brought back so many memories, unpleasant ones. I was punished by them for standing up for my selves, and my mother was the one who made it worse.

"Addison, I'm sorry, but she has information about Lena that can be useful," He said, Adrian shook his head.

"I can't believe you would let her walk in here as if nothing happened, lest we forget, she tormented her daughters, and Rosa got it worse than the others," Adrian said. I gulped trying to remain calm. My mother turned around. She was blonde and still looking the same.

"And I am sorry, Addison, truly, I was messed up, and with the wrong people..."

"No, you were a sorry-ass mother mom, I raised these two because you and Dad left them, and then I found out you left Dad for drugs, that was worse, at least Dad tried atoning for it by helping his daughter, where were you?" I screamed, and Adrain stepped aside.

"Addison I swear, I tried to get away but they would have killed me and you three," She said. That was bull shit. She knew it. Adrian knew it but yet no one else seemed to get it.

"I know Lena and she is serious, I worked under Damien for years before vanishing, Lena is not a joke," She says. I look at Derek. He raises his eyebrows. I nod sarcastically. And look at my sisters. And then at dad, who seems to be apologetic to me, but is still agreeing with this woman.

"You know, I get it, she has always been able to charm her way into people's heads, but seriously Derek, I told you what she did to me, all of you knew, and yet, here she is as if it never happened, you want info, get it, but leave me the hell out of it," I said, As I turn around, and open the door.

"Addison wait," My mother says. I looked around, and Adrian was right behind me. He was at least loyal to me.

"I'm sorry, I know what I did was wrong and I can't atone for that, never, but I'm trying to make it right, I'm risking my life to be here, please, I will give you everything I know about Lena and her condition and her plans, and I'll leave, I promise," She said. I didn't want to justify that with an answer. So I cross my arms and shrug. She nods.

"I know that Lena did have that disease, but that she has been cured for years, someone has been keeping her under heavy sedation for a long time, my guess Damien, Lee can't kill her if she's still out of it. He won't, I watched Lee for years, for Damien, he wouldn't kill her unless he had to, and knowing that she is the ring leader of the trafficking ring, now he wants to kill her, Damien loves Lena, what a better way to keep her safe, under sedation, whoever is administering it, works undercover for him," She said. I look at Dad, he seems taken by what she said.

"But Lee was working on a cure for her long before he knew about Dani and Tracy, why would Damien keep her under that long," I ask. My mother shrugs her shoulder.

"Maybe Damien knew he would find out, so to keep her safe he pretended she was still in a coma, and tried knocking Lee off the trail, but then when you began questioning him, I heard him say he was going to be bringing you back with him, and that if you didn't do what he said he would sell the girls for the highest bid," She stopped as the girls looked at me, "And I know you made a deal with him, cause I was working with him, I was always hidden."
