chapter 20 ~he's the psychopath

He knows I work with Fyodor, but that's not true; I used to work with him two years ago.

What should I do? Should I call Naya? Nate?

No, no, no

I can't

It's true that I worked with Fyodor for many years, mostly because I was sold to him.

My father was never a father that anyone deserved.

He's now powerful; after years, when I met him, he said that with the money he sold me for, he could start whatever he's doing right now.

But it's not like, Wow, now he's rich and he will save me. Yeah, no.

After years, I found out that he was a mole, a rat.

He didn't have a side hustle; he would sell the information to people who would pay him the most.

I hate those kinds of people, and I'm glad no one knows that he's my father.

Years later, my brother found me; he saved me, and a year later, my sister was kidnapped.

I exposed Fyodor, and now I'm his target. Do you regret doing that?

No

Because that saved my sister's life.

But what I did for Fyodor and the work he made me do was awful.

I was working at a strip club when I had a mission.

I needed to get all of the information from them, but sometimes

Alcohol and drugs weren't all that took for them to tell me.

So I did what Fyodor told me to.

Do whatever it takes, give them as much alcohol as they need, drugs, smoke, and even your body, and remember that this body of yours doesn't belong to you; it's mine because you belong to me.

So yeah, I would sleep with them, and it used to always work.

I did what I had to do to protect my family because I knew my father wouldn't do it.

I lay in bed for the seventh day this week.

I hear yet another knock and already know it's Samuel.

He really is trying to help me.

"Aurora, please eat something." He walks in and kneels. He brushes my hair off of my face.

"I'm not hungry."

He walks away, and seconds later he comes back with Diego and a plate of food.

"We won't leave if you don't finish this plate." He informs me and judging by his tone he isn't kidding

"But-" I tried to lie and that I already ate my snacks

"You can hate me all you want, but now food," he demands.

I didn't open my mouth, and then Diego spoke.

"If you don't open your mouth, I'll pick you up, hold you like a baby, and shove the food down your throat," he smiles.

"Let me guess, he's the psychopath of the group," I quickly say, and Samuel nods.

He started to feed me, and I ate. I don't have an appetite, so it tasted flavorless.

I won't say that though, Samuel's food is always bomb, but this time it's just me.

"I have some chocolate," Dylan says, and he hands me some.

"Oh, and I have movies," Connor said, walking in.

We started to watch movies, and after the second movie, began I ask,

"Who invited you all here?"

"Oh, look who can talk!" Connor laughs and gives me a hug.

"Is everyone home?" I hear Everett's voice.

"We're here," Dylan says.

I suddenly get tense, Samuel noticed and look at me.

"Are you okay?" he wispers

"I don't want him here," I say, and he nods.

"Yeah, we're watching movies want to join" I hear Dylan say

Please say no

Lee quickly looks at me and then says

"No" he walks away after he closed the door

"What's up with his ass those days" Diego asks

I shruggle and we continue to watch the movies.
