Josie's POV

" no please " I mumbled , I could barley speak. My eyes refused to open & my body wasn't functioning. I feel tired & drowsy . " Zion ? "

Get up Jo ! You have to get up ! . I tell myself but my body is saying another thing. I try to open my eyes again & its dark. Either I have a blindfold on or I'm dead. When I try to pull my hands up their strapped to something. I try again but I'm too weak. Fuck.

" The princesa is up, aye ? " The unfamiliar voice speaks. He grabs a fistful of my hair through the black bag , I'm guessing that's what it is & yanks my head up. I could feel his hot breath through the fabric as he hovers over me. " Ill take the bag off but from what I heard you're crazy so will you be a good girl & behave ? " He taunts.

Looks like I'm in hell

" I'm not a dog you son of a b- "

" Tsk , tsk ,tsk. That wasn't the deal . "

" Fine ! " I grumble weakly. He snatches the bag off & a bright light is revealed making me curse to myself. I blink a few times to adjust to it. The man had on all black & a thick ass beard. He had an Italian accent but for all we know he could be faking it.

" Is this necessary ? I know why I'm here you can let me go. " I told him , struggling to get out the ropes.

I knew exactly why I was here.

" He said he wants you tied up. "

" Are you sure we're talking about the same person ? He would neve- " Before I can process my words he walks in. Instead of that bright smile its replaced with a frown. His eyebrows are furrowed in anger & his hands are folded behind his back. " Ja- " He holds up his finger , silencing me.

" Do you know why I have you like this ? " I shake my head . " No ? How old are you Jojo ? "

" 18 " I whispered. Here comes the lecture.

" So why the fuck are you acting like you're a fucking adult who can travel the world by her self ?! " He snaps , I never saw him this mad before but he needs to calm down. " Huh ? answer the fucking question ! "

" H-How did you find me ? How are you here right now Jayceon ? " He had questions for me but I wanted him to answer mine first. He can't just show up like this & expect me to negotiate with him without an explanation. He was just in jail he wasn't supposed to come out just yet.

" The day you came to see me the next day I was released. I've been keeping an eye on you ever since I went to jail. I heard you went missing & then I lost track of you. Then Ace called you I had one of my men track your number from the phone call. Why did you run Jocelyn ? "

" That's not my name. "

" What ? " He stepped closer to me.

" That's not my fucking name ! Stop calling me that ! My name is Josephine. " I was now the one to snap. He took a step back & his eyes widen in shock. I never spoke to him like that before. I was surprised with myself.

" I am your fucking brother ! I raised you okay ? You would not speak to me like that ! " He shouted over my voice. Everybody flinched including me. " Could you tell me why you left ? " He sighed , trying to calm his self down.

" let me go first & Ill tell you everything. "

++

" That wasn't called for. I'm your only sister for fucks sake & you have me tied up by your fucking ass kissers. " I hissed as I rub my wrist . I felt like I was in a fucking movie even though this regular for my family it will never be for me.

We sit down at the metal table with a light dangling above us. His men surround the room as we speak. I definitely feel like I'm in a movie.

" Stop cursing first of al- "

" Where's Zion ? "

" Stop int- "

"Why did you lie ? "

" Jo pl- "

" Answer my questions first then Ill answer yours. That's how this works big brother " He sighs & I know he's about to cave. I was trained too well not to know how to make things go my way. Perks of having a family who is one of the biggest drug dealing family in the states.

" Fine . Zion is fine he's actually at your apartment now. "

" How do you even know where I live ? "

" I told you Jojo I've been watching you. Now can you answer the question ? " Here goes nothing. I fiddle with my thumbs as he stares at me waiting for me to answer the question he's been desperately wanting. I bow my head down , too ashamed to even talk about it.

Here it goes.

" Dadhasabusedmeeversinceyouwenttojail " I spoke quickly & quietly. I look back up to him as he pinched the bridge of his nose mentally counting to himself.

" Jocelyn " He growled. Yeah go ahead , use my real name against me.

" Okay. " I exhaled heavily & started to talk again. " Dad . Abused . Me " I said slowly . He lost his shit .

" What ? " His eyes were popping out of his head & his grip on the table made his knuckles white. Veins popped out his neck & forehead , Ill be lying if I said I wasn't scared right now.

" Ever since you went to jail dad has been abusing me in every way possible , not sexually of course. Mom , the boys , nobody has done anything to stop it. " I could feel tears streaming down my now rosy cheeks. I sniffled & wiped them with the back of my hand.

My brothers eyes soften & his grip on the table loosen. " J-Jo why didn't you tell me ? Why go through the trouble of changing your name , dying your hair & moving across the country ? You could've came to me. "

" How ? You were in Jail or so I thought & you would've went crazy. It was bad enough I had to wait till I was 18. I didn't want anything to do with the family or New York anymore . "

" Jocelyn, I am your oldest brother. From the age I was 10 till 17 years old I was taking care of you. I missed 10 years of your life & when I stepped out those gates the first person I thought about was you. Not Christian, not mom , you. Of course I would've went crazy but I will do anything in my power to protect you. I missed your teenager years , your sweet 16 , I didn't get to harass your first boyfriend. " I laughed at his last sentences & he joined me. For the first time today I actually missed my brother. I missed our relationship.

" So do you think you're going to leave & I'll miss the rest of your life? That's not h- "

" Wait so what are you saying ? "

" I'm moving to LA "
