"Explain. Now."

____________

No way out of this.

"In my defence...." I trail off.

"Yes..?" Lorenzo rolls his eyes.

"Nope. Haven't got one. I've got nothing." I throw my arms up in surrender.

All of their faces have the look of disapproval so I sigh.

"Okay. Ermmm......." I don't really know what to say and how to say it.

"Go on." Urging me to continue.

"Well you know how I was... abused... and raped...." I start.

They all nod in response.

"Well I was never able to even try and defend myself. I hated the thought of being weak and having to deal with that day in day out. Then one day... it was after I got the massive scar on my back." I shake my head getting the flashback out of my head.

I stop for a moment and take a breather.

Then I continue.

"Anyways. They sent me to get some alcohol for them. I obviously did even though I could barely move. It was on the way back. I took a longer route so I didn't have to be around them for as long. Stupid idea I know. Then a group of men came up to me and backed me into a corner. I screamed in pain from my back hitting the wall and it seemed to have pissed them off. One of them bent down and covered my mouth. I remember hearing one of them whisper to the other that they wanted to have some 'fun' with me."

This is so embarrassing.

I hear someone take in a deep breath.

"He tried to. Before he could a man came out of nowhere so I'm guessing he heard the commotion of them shouting at me telling me to behave. He ended up beating the shit out of them to the point they all ran off. He helped me up and saw my state so he told me he'd clean me up. At that time, I didn't know whether to trust him but I was in too much pain to do anything so I followed him. He told me his name and what he did. I wanted to be able to protect myself and others like he did for me. So he said he'd train me himself; and that's what he did."

That was pretty much everything. Except for the fighting in the underworld and being an assassin of course.

I look up and see them all staring at me.

I raise a brow in confusion as to why they're not speaking.

"Oh shit." Antonio says.

He looks around and sees us all staring at him.

Yes you said that out loud dumbass.

"Uh.. I just realised something. That's all." He nods.

I smirk knowing exactly what he's on about.

How I beat him in a fight.

He looks at me and shakes his head hiding his smile.
