Belles POV :

I'm stuck in the darkness, reliving the same haunting memory that happened almost 5 years ago.

He's grabbing me by my hair, dragging me into an empty hall, I'm kicking, screaming. And My papa doesn't care.

"You deserve this you little slut."

"You're a whore."

"Don't lie, you like it."

"Stop fucking crying."

"You deserve it."

All those words repeated in my head, I'm living a nightmare, Hell.

My body shoots up, gasping for air.
My body is sweating, And a single tear rolls down my cheek.

What happened?

"Hey, Hey, Belles you're Okay!" I hear the comforting voice of my brother, his thumb carefully caressing my cheek.

"What— Why, What happened?" I manage to stutter out.
"You were attacked, remember?" He asks, I nod slowly indulging in my environment.

There was various of monitors connected to me, and I was changed into a hospital gown.

"Where is everyone?" I ask.
"Christina went out to take care of Duane, Jada is outside talking to the doctor, And Naomi went with Christina." He explained.

I furrowed my eyebrows. "A- And Matteo and Aaron?" I ask skeptically. His entire demeanor changed, his once relaxed shoulders tensed, his face had frustration and anger painted on it.

"Matteo, was a spy."

It felt like My heart stopped beating, I knew from the beginning something was off but I let my guard down after finding out he was my teo, I thought my Teo wouldn't harm me or my family.

The walls started closing in, And I can hear my heart beating rapidly in my ear.

I take a deep breath swallowing the tears that want to shed and look back to Leo. "And Where are they?" I muttered.

"Matteo disappeared after The Ball, Aaron is in questioning, so far. We don't know if he's a spy with Matteo." He answered. I licked my lips looking away.

I fucking knew it. I was so naive I let him take advantage of me. It was all fake to gather information on my family. I'm an idiot for trusting a man enough to have my heart.

"When can we leave?" I ask in a shaky voice, a weak smile appears on his face. "After the doctor comes and checks you out. I'm so sorry Belle, it's my fault, I shouldn't have left you alone that night, I knew how dangerous it was—"

I interrupted him. "Leo, stop. I'm 21 years old, I can take care of myself, I don't need your protection 24/7, I let my guard down, it was my fault."

He scoffs. "No, I'm your older brother, I'm supposed to protect you."

"You can't protect me from everything Leo, And I've been through worse." I say laying back into the bed, a wince leaves my mouth as I feel a sharp pain on the back of my head. "Take it easy, you have 6 staples in the back of your head."
