Clarrisa POV Only God knows how I've barely survived alone for the whole night. The moment I woke to my sister's scream and saw the terror on her face, triggered something in me. I felt bad when she didn't want to tell me about her dream but somehow it was relieving. I mean if I could get so traumatized by just her terrified disposal I wonder if she'd tell me what she dreamt about. I couldn't sleep for the night cause I didn't want to have any memories. Wait... what if my sister didn't have a dream but memories? I doubt that. She's so bold and doesn't look like someone who'll get traumatized over a past event unlike me. The door opened while I was curling up on the bed and Antonio walked in. I swallowed at the sight of him and greeted him. "Good morning Tesoro. How's your night?" He asked calmly with a placid smile. [sweetheart]I told him it was great even though it wasn't close to it. He looked around the room and asked me "where's your sister?" He has this curiousity and h
Clarrisa pov Rules? God No! I don't know why but I see trouble knocking. Rules are very strict and sensitive and from the moment Antonio made mention of rules, I squirmed. What are the rules gonna be like? What if I break a rule? Rules come with punishment but what type of punishment would they give me? "And the rules are. One, Respect your older brothers. Two, Don't take permission before you use stuff in general, every property in a house is owned by everyone. Lastly, No intake of drugs, cigarettes, or any hard substances." The rules aren't that difficult to observe. Well maybe except for the using stuff without permission. I'll find it so hard to adapt. "Permission to oppose," Rechel spoke up gaining the attention of everyone. "Not like anyone can stop me though but the last time I checked. The de costas are the biggest drug dealers here in Italy. If you so abhor drugs then why do you push it? Why do you make riches off it? I mean angry bird was ready to kill me when my gang s
Right now we were on the highway. I was in the car with my brothers and sister. Antonio was at the driver seat while Liam sat with me and recheal at the back. While I'm here trembling like a jelly fish at the thought of going to a therapist, recheal seemed not to be even affected. She has this stone code look on her face that shows she just want to get this over with. I felt Liam palm kneads my thigh and he whispers. "Relax baby. You'll be alright." Guess he noticed my panick. A panic which which kept blooming the more the car drives, and Liam kept on caressing my thigh, hair and palms. Soothing me with comforting words. Somehow I was so grateful that Liam was here. He's such a mother hen. It doesn't take long before Antonio drove into a big building which designed with snowy white. I felt my heart churns as Antonio pulled over at the lot. While Liam got out and open the car for me, which I hesitated before stepping down, Antonio walked down the car and went to open the car for
"Lo siento, pero no conseguí que hablaran de sus vidas." He replied. [I'm sorry but I didn't get them to talk about thier lives.]Fuck! Fear crossed Rico's face immediatelyhe said that and maybe the deadly look I gave him triggered it. "Quiero decir que esta es solo la primera etapa. No debemos apresurarlos. Las víctimas de abuso se ven muy afectadas psicológicamente, afecta su credibilidad. No saben en quién confiar para hablar sobre su pasado o, más bien, no quieren hablar de él porque podría desencadenar todo de nuevo. Por lo tanto, por ahora, siga llevándolos regularmente y también haga su parte. Dado que las gemelas tienen atracciones opuestas críticas, les llevará tiempo acostumbrarse como hermanas. Siempre haga su parte para reunirlos regularmente, pelearán pero con el tiempo lo superarán."He clearified, still kinda terrified. [I-I mean this is just the first stage. We shouldn't rush them.the victims of abuse are greatly affected psychologically, he affects their credibility
Clarrisa's POV Days rolls by and roll into weeks. Things hasn't entirely improve with me and my new family. But over the week I seen they've been trying to make things up to me and my sister. They keep taking us out to shopping and places. Honestly if you ask I'll say my sister was one who needed that cause she's been refusing to accept them and maybe me too. But she's somehow improved, she's now at least very close to one of our brothers-Matoe.My relationship with her hasn't been the best to be honest. She'll virtually get pissed up at me each time something traumatize me and she'll yell, snap at me, before I'll get really scared of her making myself more a weakling disgrace to my family but for the sake of my new brothers who've been trying to warm up to me, I really tried so hard to over come my fear. I now sometimes try to talk back at Rechel...keyword sometimes. I'm not entirely scared of her that much because according to our therapist she was reacting from trauma of her pa
"I didn't speak French did I? I want you to join us perharps it isn't bad if I want to know our family friend right? I'm a part of this family so I should get acquainted with you too. Right Liam?" Liam gave recheal a baffled long stare before agreeing with her. "Right. Join us John." My heart was rising, panic surging through me as the presence of this John took me back to that day at the kitchen. How he'd threatened with a knife, his beastly facade played in my head in loop and I swear I was fighting to hide the trauma. Even though he's panic all over his face now, I'm still hella scared of him. Liam noticed my change of mood and asked worriedly if. Was alright of which I lied I was. No I can't tell Liam about it. This guy might just decide to sneak in on me and do something worst to me. What's recheal up to anyway. I know she knows this guy somehow, with the way they were staring at each other I know they knew each other. "Let's play a game guys." Recheal suggested as soon as t
For the rest of the day, I kept thinking, panicking over what my sister had told me. My brothers didn't came back until evening. Only Liam and matoe though. I had dinner with matoe and Liam before going off to bed. The next morning, I woke up very early as usual. Recheal was still fast asleep. I just stayed up on my bed but getting bored of the room, I decided to head to the living room. At the stairs, I spotted Jayden at the dining he was operating laptop. Oh No! I can't be alone with him. I turned abruptly tto leave but then I heard his voice. "Hey clarrisa." Mg heart churns at his voice. Slowly turning round I was met with his intimidating eyes staring at me. "Good morning." I mumbled to him. After replying my greeting coldly and asking about my night, he asked me to come that we need to talk. I reluctantly went to meet him with my head bowed. "Look at me clarrisa." Jayden said after the brief silence between us while I was sitting before him. I slowly look up to face him
"So it's you again?!!!" Jayden yelled as he sprung the man up by his collars, he threw a pouch at his jaw and some of his teeth fell out with more blood spilling out. While The man grunts on the floors and coughed out blood, I gasped. "The fucking nerve of you to try to hurt my sister again!!" Jayden wanted to match him down with his boot but the man manages to hold Jayden's leg and swerved. He stood up and threatened a punch to jayden's face but Jayden caught it mid—flipped the man around and starts twisting his arms behind him. The man wailed in pain and I could vividly hear his bones breaking. Jayden was leisurely breaking the man's bones.

He pushed the man roughly towards the wall, he hits his head and blood gushed out, running through his face. Jayden tugged him up again, Pouch, kicks and blood rampage the air as Jayden comple
