My Princessa

Chapter 59

In my subconscious l could feel that there was someone else in the room with me but l kept my eyes shut hoping that the person world just leave me alone. l snapped my eyes open when l felt a finger probing my panties. The pain in my body kept me from moving away and all l felt was pain. My nightmare was coming true.
Part of me was convinced that this was a nightmare but no. It was real. My innocence was being taken away from me by a man as old as my grandfather. Dan who happens to be Elena's father was taking advantage of me, to think l once considered him my grandfather. The world was a cruel place and everyone wore a mask. No one was what they said they are and it was a lesson l was unfortunately learning the harder way..
l didn't say anything when he touched me and raped rather l spaced out. l thought about dad, my brothers and my grandparents. l thought about the times we laughed together around the dinner table. l thought about the shine in dad's eyes when l said something or when my brothers did something to make him super proud.My heart couldn't reconcile with my loss.
l screamed in agony when the back of his hand connected to my cheek. My head knocked against the floor and my head throbbed but l still didn't shade a tear for these monsters and their torture. The physical pain was just a reminder that l am alive while deep inside l felt like l was dying, losing myself to the bleeding in my heart.
Some books say that grief makes you stronger and they were right because yes they were breaking me but they were making me a stronger version of the girl l was. l wouldn't let them succeed in breaking me. l was my father's daughter and l would show them that. l knew they would kill me after they were done with me but l won't shed a tear for them. l won't cry even if they kill me. They destroyed my world but l won't let them see that they've won.
It was like he wasn't getting enough because he wasn't stopping.l was being cut from the inside.It felt like l was stepping on glass shards.l was bleeding inside and outside.Heart and soul.l kept my mouth shut but my soul was begging for mercy. The pain was too much yet l stood mum while both my heart and body were broken to pieces.l felt disconnected and broken.
When he pulled himself off my body ,my body hurt from the assault.l couldn't move so l laid there limply against the cold floor ever after he left. Even through the numbness l thought about dad. l still wish to see his face even if it's for one last time, just to tell him that l love him. My eyes slowly closed as l succumbed to the pain and fell asleep.

....

l felt numb when l stepped out of the car. My whole world was falling apart and yet l was supposed to be the strong one. l was supposed to take care of my brothers. l stared at our mansion with a heavy heart. My feet seemed rooted where l was standing.l didn't have the strength to walk inside. The worst part of all is that my anchor and mentor wasn't here to guide me.
There was an ache in my chest. My dad was fighting for his life and the doctor weren't optimistic about his chances of survival. l had spent the last 48 hours looking for my sister but it was like she disappeared out of thin air. It was like looking for a needle in haystack and l didn't know what more to do. Whoever did this was a professional and l tried to search through our enemies but l still couldn't get any details about my sister's whereabouts.
My brothers Leone and Leonardo stood next to me just as shattered as l was. But no matter how hurt l was on this day,l still needed to be a big brother and the boss.l couldn't let myself feel week at this moment. Swallowing the lump in my throat l walked towards the door. Each step though, l was reminder of what was at stack.
As soon as l stepped inside though, l was ambushed by my sobbing nonna. She grabbed my collar and cried bitterly. l held her. Her pain reflected on every part of her body.
"Where is my granddaughter" she screamed at me but l couldn't fault her anger. Her eyes blurred with tears while she choked on her sobs. Her chest heaved."you were supposed to protect her" she said but l still kept mum because she was right.l was supposed to protect my sister and l failed ,what's worse is that l don't have any idea on how or where she is. l didn't know how they were treating her.
The tightness in my chest got stronger. Nonna slid on the floor in anguish and nonno held her before she could fall but she pushed his hands away. "You promised to protect our son" she screamed at him and l saw my nonno close his eyes in anguish. l tornado had hit us on all directions and it was tearing our family apart.
l heard another cry and l noticed it came from Alex. His hand was holding his chest with his face twisting in agony. His eyes went wide before they started closing but before he could fall Leone held him. Leone pulled him in his arms and Alex buried his head on his shoulders as he sobbed. My brother was too young to deal with the crap he has had to deal with.
All their emotions washed over me. Pain, disappointment, sorrow. They stabbed my heart. My whole body trembled as l tried to stay calm and be strong for everyone.
