I looked at him upset, and we made our way to the gas station.

He got out of the car and I started writing to him: „I'm still in fire."

The door opened and I smiled saying: „That was fast, I just texted you."

Ronnie looked at me: „See how I'm the fastest?"

I looked at him in shook and screamed Nick's name. I pressed the warning button in his car.

Ronnie grabbed my arms and I continued trying to get away from him.

He got me out with help from his friends and took me to Nick's old car.

I said: „U fucker."

He took a cloth before my nose and mouth and said: „Now I'm gonna give you that ride in my car."

I just felt how my eyes and my body became limp in their arms before I fell asleep.

Nick's POV

I walked out of the gas station, when I saw that the car doors were open.

Rowan was nowhere to be seen and I became panic.

I screamed her name and throw the condoms away that I just bought.

I drove home where the police came fast.

We were looking at the video camera recordings with the inspector.

She said: „Impossible, you can only see shadows."

I looked at the screen: „That's Ronnie, I'd recognize that assholes shadow in the dark."

The inspector asked me: „Are you sure?"

I nodded and she closed the laptop: „Very well. We'll request a warrant right away."

Rafaella and my father thanked her and sat down on the sofa.

I looked at them with guilt: „I'm sorry, I should've told you..."

Rafaella said: „Just go please. Get out."

I wanted to walk away but my father stopped me: „Nicholas."

I turned around as he said: „If Rowan gets out of this, don't you ever touch her again."

I looked at him while my heart stopped beating for a moment.

He kept talking: „The fights, the races... I should've known when you missed the gala. You promised that all that was over. Are you really my son? Because I don't know who you are."

I walked away because I didn't know what I should say to him anymore, and I don't think it would change anything if I did.

Rowan's POV

As I woke up with a quick breath, my one hand was tied on a wardrobe.

I cough and tried to make my wrist free from the band.

In front of me was a table, where a glass was standing.

I tried grabbing it, when a figure suddenly moved the glass further to me.

I screamed: „Fuck Ronnie! You motherfucking pervert. I'll give you a five-second head start to run away!! All this just because I beat you in a fucking car race. You're crazy!"

Suddenly the figure came into the light.

My father sat beside me and said: „You raced him in one?"

I started at him with tears in my eyes: „Dad."

He talked: „Isn't Ronnie a bastard. He didn't tell me. Well done. That's my girl. How was it? Well, anyway. I'm happy to know I taught you something useful. I guess I wasn't such a bad father."

I just continued looking at the floor in shook and scared.

He came closer to my face while I looked at him: „Did you like the letters I sent you? I'd never written to you before."

I turned my head away from him but he continued talking: „I don't know, I felt like I owed it to you."

I just said nothing.

Nick's POV

They said to us that they found letters in her room.

And Rafaella took them out of their hands.

Rafaella's phone began to ring and it was an unknown number.

They all told her to take it while they sit down before the computers trying to locate it.

She accepted and asked: „Hello?"

We heard Rowan saying: „Mom! Mom!"

Rafaella screamed in the phone: „Rowan!"

I stood up when we heard a voice: „I'm so disappointed in you, Rafaella."

Rafaella said scarred: „Jonás, don't you even think about hurting Rowan."

Jonás answered: „In all these years, you never visited me. Not. a. single. day. Not once.
Oh Rafaella... Jail is full of people being a gold digger like you."

My father intervened: „I won't let you speak that way to my wife!"

We heard him laughing: "My wife," he says."

Dad asked him: „What do you want?"

Jonás said: „I don't know. I see you all enjoying the little thing that money can buy and I think ,why, I'm also part of the family."

My father asked him how much he wants and he told one million.

My father replied: „To what account number?"

He said: „By PayPal. What do you think? Cash, non-sequential bills in a black, waterproof bag. At the statue on the promenade at 4 o'clock."

I looked at my father scared while Jonás continues talking: „The two of you, and no police, of course."

Rafaella nodded her head and I stood up taking the phone: „Rowan!"

I heard her voice screaming my name before the phone call ended.
