I didn't scream. I didn't even cry. I simply froze, a block of ice where my heart used to be.
Liam, my baby brother, was being molested just because he had protected me the other day. My heart was ripping apart watching the video played before my eyes.
"Wh-Why are you doing this to me, Julian?" I asked, my voice trembling with rage and hurt.
His voice quickly softened as he pulled me into his arms.
"Are you mad, darling? Why would I do that to you? It's Deccan."
"That's why I'm telling you to come with me to meet Lesley and Deccan. Let's make up everything and solve the matter, alright?"
I looked up to meet his gaze, my sight blurred with tears as I asked, "What if I still don't come with you, Julian? What if I don't obey? What will happen to my brother then?"
My heart was trembling in my chest as if waiting to hear something terrific, and as expected, Julian's face immediately turned cold. He said.
"These men you just saw, have been in cells for years for being charged of rape and molestation. They have things for young guys, Laura. You won't be liking them to share bed with Liam every night, do you?"
My eyes were bloodshot, my heart filled with sorrow, and my nails dug deep into my skirt.
