Chapter 6 - Virgin ruined

“What did Macy, tell you?” Ty had let go of me as started taking steps at Tom, who was now sitting clicking on the computer screen.

Had I forgotten that he had choked just a few minutes ago or was Macy’s betrayal enough to make me feel anger rising in me that my feet started moving toward Tom? Ty held my shoulders playing bodyguard or protective brother to Tom as I was moving to him. I managed to elbow him making him release his hands off me as I slammed the table at Tom.

“Answer my fucking question? What did my sister tell you?”

My eyes were seeing red and the fear I had was replaced with anger that was boiling inside me. It made me remember the letter and Macy asking for forgiveness. I had a question that needed answers and my hands started to shake on the table that I had just slammed.

“You know what I’m talking about don’t you?” Tom’s expression never changed when I slammed my hands, but I could sense Ty had flinched a bit behind me.

“WHAT DID MACY SAY?” I said, gritting my teeth trying to regain myself and look scarier, but I failed as soon as Tom turned his screen as I saw Macy.

Tom had turned the volume up and I saw her Macy, my Macy is looking just as beautiful as ever, but her eyes were sad, and she looked trapped. She had told me about the prison that was about to take me as its resident too. I saw the videos of her and her clients, her with Ty and her with Tom but I looked away as I saw one video. I couldn’t see the man, but he had punched her, she wasn’t moving as he started to undress her ripping her clothes off like an animal. She had moved and said no but there was another punch and there was blood this time.

“STOP!” But he kept the video playing, “I said STOP, please,” the tears he hated were flowing again and I didn’t care if he hated them, but I had seen enough.

I was filled with guilt and all the messages I had sent asking her for money flooded me. I started wiping my tears away angry at myself. Angry at Macy for choosing this route, angry at mom for falling, and angry at dad for dying of cancer angry at everything. This made me understand Macy and I knew why she had killed herself, but I couldn’t understand why she told Tom about me and mum. What had virginity had to do with them?

“As soon as you are deflowered-” Tom stopped Ty before he could continue so he could speak.

“Macy had a huge debt from all the bills you and your mom kept pulling on her. She stole from the man who punched her in that video, and you should know that if Dax shows his face in this town, he is a dead man for helping her steal that ring. My client wanted justice and I gave it to him.”

“What kind of a monster are you?” I barked at him with a disgusted look.

“Take it easy, jewel,” Ty said in a protective tone toward his brother

“Don’t touch me? I’m not your jewel” I looked back at Ty as he smiled amused by my outburst.

“What are you going to run to mommy dearest?” We were standing so close as I kneed him in his groin, and he stumbled back in pain.

“You little bitch, ” he was glaring daggers at me.

“Brother, you deserved it. That was a low blow. Her mother has been paralyzed from the neck down for a year now” he said.

“How do you know so much?” I looked at Tom searching his eyes for the truth.

“As I was saying Macy was overwhelmed with your bills and she was getting desperate. She overheard my meeting when one of my clients was willing to pay millions for a virgin and she wanted out of Star so she told me about you, ” he smiled looking at me like a prized trophy “If my brother hadn’t picked you up were coming for you tomorrow.”

“What do you mean pick me up tomorrow?” I asked.

“There was a plan Macy was going to bring you here, but she couldn’t get through with it and so she decided to take the easy way and die” he shook his head.

“Easy way and die?” I made a small humorless laugh, “You killed my sister you piece of shit.”

“Watch your tone with me, I’m not my brother,” his voice low but threatening.

“Well, you are wrong,” I responded in a tone that came out weaker than intended.

“Well, Macy wouldn’t lie and die to be wrong, now would she?” He said in a confident tone, “You were her free pass to getting her life back again and you will get your share, of course, to cover you for college and make your mother comfortable. Maybe move her to a lusher home and you will have a lavish future. All you get to do is spread your legs.”

“Fuck you, you disgust me,” I barked out.

“I told you to watch your tone with me,” he snarled at me.

“You are wrong, and she was wrong. Because guess what? My ex-boyfriend already took what you wanted tonight.” I regretted those words as soon as I saw Tom get up moving to me.

“You, stupid girl,” he grabbed my neck with his eyes now darker than before “What did you do? Do you know how much money you have cost me?”

“I don’t give a shit” I responded.

Tom back slapped me and I fell to the ground. I gave him a venomous stare clenching my fists ready to unleash my rage. I got up quickly screaming like an animal, but Ty held me back.

“Easy,” Ty said.

“LET. ME. GO.” I seethed.

“Don’t try me, Maya,” Tom walked closer, his hand on my neck looking angry.
