Today has to be the day I find out who has been texting me. Last night, while making dinner I got another message and it went a little something like this.

Unknown
You can run and hide but I will catch you.
Me
Whoever you are, you need to stop texting me before I call the cops

Unknown
Oh baby girl , you wouldn't dare. I know
exactly where you are
and you can't get away from me. I will
have you again. See you soon😉

I didn't reply after that. There was only one person who would call me baby girl. I guess there's no need for Lucas anymore because I already know who it is.

My father. But how would that work? He's in prison.

He has been in prison for 5 years. Unless? No I refuse to let that idea come to mind. But if im in danger I have to make a few calls and find out.

"здравствуйте, меня зовут Анастасия Петров. Мой отец, Дмитрий Петров, находится в вашей тюрьме, и мне просто интересно, могу ли я поговорить с ним?" I say through the phone.

(Hello, my name is Anastasia Petrov. My father, Dimitri Petrov, is in your prison, and I was just wondering if I could talk to him?)

I didn't want to talk to him but I had to be sure he was there. Though I'm sure he has one of his workers sending me these messages.

My dad was a part of a large gang in Russia. It was almost considered to be a mafia. And my brother was supposed to take over, but when he died, he was so angry. He didn't want to give his gang to a weak girl so he did the only thing he could think of.

He would hit me anytime I did something "wrong" when really I think he just wanted to take his anger out and I was just there for him to do it.

One night I heard him talking on the phone. He mentioned something about a wedding and how that would join the 2 gangs together. Then I heard him say the words I would dread "Yes, my daughter is very obedient and will listen to anything your son says. She can cook and clean and can even give you a new heir if a few months."

I was 11 when I heard that phone call and he wanted me to get married? And have children? I didn't know how old the other guy was but I knew damn well I would not have his kids. Even when I just got my period the month before, doesn't mean I can have kids.

I shake the worries out of my head and listen back to the phone call.

"Нет, возможно, нет. тебе никто не сообщил эту новость?" He says.

(No, you may not. Has no one told you the news?)

"какие новости?" I say back. What does he mean? I'm so confused right now.

(What news?)

"твой отец сбежал из тюрьмы около 2 недель назад" he says though the phone.

(Your father broke out of prison about 2 weeks ago.)

My phone drops from my hand. I'm frozen in my place. How could he get out? How could they let him get away? Oh god, what about my mother? She's still in Russia.

"привет? здравствуйте, мисс, вы еще здесь?" I hear the man say from my phone on the ground. My phone now has a crack in the screen but that's the least of my worries if my father is out of jail.
