"Jazzy, come out sweetheart, come to daddy, "

That was the sound of a drunken man's voice as he walked through the dark halls of his home in search of his eighteen-year-old daughter.

"Jasmine! Listen to your daddy and get out here before I get really angry, " he gritted through his teeth getting annoyed with his daughter's disobedience.

Meanwhile, the poor thing sat in her closet with her face buried in her knees as she sobbed completely scared for her life.

This isn't the first time that this has happened. Ever since her mother had passed away, her father would take his grieve and anger out on her.

Spending countless nights being beaten by her drunken father and then attending school the next day as nothing happened.

School, on the other hand, was a whole different story. Being the weak and helpless girl that she was, students always took advantage of her. She had no friends to defend nor hang out with.

Jasmine's life was the definition of living hell and it didn't take her long enough to realize that she no longer wants to live that kind of life.

"There you are princess, " her screams echoed throughout the room as her father forcefully dragged by her hair as she struggled to free herself.

"Are you daddy's little girl, Jazzy?" he asked harshly, tossed her to the floor as she held her head which was slammed in the process of her being thrown on the floor.

"Get away from me, you sick bastard, " she whispered weakly as fear immediately filled her eyes when she saw how furious her father was becoming.

"Why you ungrateful little, " Jasmine cried out as she continuously received the forceful blow of her father's fist being pounded against her fragile face.

By the time he was done with her, she laid almost lifeless on the floor with a swollen black eye, busted lip, and bloody nose.

She was on the verge of passing out and her heartless father just laughed before stumbling out of her room.

After laying there for a couple of hours Jasmine managed to pull herself together limping to the bathroom to treat another set of bruises.

Coming out from the bathroom with treated wounds. Jasmine walked towards her closet getting inside as closed the door behind her.

The light bulb hanging from the ceiling was soon turned on as she reached for chalk beside her before marking on the wall behind her clothes.

On the wall was a tally of how many times her father would abuse her and how many times she would be able to take it.

Her father started abusing her at the age of 10 years so you do the math.

"Just a little more, Jasmine and you'll be able to escape this hell, " she mumbled to herself before spending the rest of her night in her dark closet.

⏰ ⏰ ⏰

The next morning Jasmine woke up groaning as her sore wound ached.

She was beyond exhausted as she only got a few hours of sleep but she needed to get out of this away from him.

Getting dressed as she made sure to cover up her visible bruises before leaving.

As she was on her out, she passed her father who was slouched back in his living room chair with a glass of whiskey in his hand.

"Where do you think you're going?" He asked, gulping down the remaining of his whiskey.

"School, " she replied with an emotionless tone, not sparing him a glance.

"Make sure you're here on time or else pay the consequences, " he said in a threatening tone before she left.

Jasmine walked all the way to her school since she didn't like taking the bus and her father refused to take her.

Outside of her house, she was just as invisible. Walking the streets with a black hoodie covering half of her face as she would admire people being happy and free, longing for that feeling herself.

On her way to school, she stopped by a cafe that she used to attend with her mother back when the place was popular. But now the cafe has lost its popularity and she was really close to the owner.

Entering the cafe as the bell signifies her presence, an elderly woman rushes to her side with a wide smile.

"Jasmine, my darling, " the elderly woman beamed embracing the teenager.

"Good morning, Linda, how are you and the cafe? " she asked after releasing from the hug.

Linda sighed, pulling her to the nearest seat as they sat down.

"Not good Jas, every day we're losing customers both me and the cafe are getting old, " she grinned earning a small smile from Jasmine.

"But how are you, dear?" she asked, concerned, laced throughout her voice.

"I'm fine, " she said, earning a sigh from Linda who grasped both her hands.

"You can't lie to me, Jasmine, I know exactly what that man does to you, " she said, caressing Jasmine, shaking hands.

"Jasmine, you're such a strong young woman but you have to do something before he kills you, " Linda said in a soft yet serious tone.

"I know Linda, I'm just waiting for the right time and then I'll be free, " she said in a shaky tone.

Linda smiled weakly deciding to change the subject.

"Jasmine!" she called out.

"Yes, Linda?"

"Isn't your 19th birthday, two weeks away?" She asked as a smile grew on her thin wrinkled lips.

"Yes, it is, " Jasmine replied with a small smile.

"Awe, your mother would be so happy to watch her little girl grow up into a beautiful young woman, " Linda said gently stroking Jasmine's cheek.

"Yes, I bet she would, " she mumbled, staring down at her hands.

"Say what, Jas, why don't you come by the cafe after school tomorrow, so we could celebrate your birthday early, " she said.

"I would love that, " Jasmine said with the first-ever genuine smile since her life turned into hell.

"Alright, Jasmine, you should go to school now before you reach late, " they both stood up from their seats before embracing each other.

"I'll see you soon, Linda, "

"Alright, my dear, be safe, " after saying goodbye to one another Jasmine left for school.

She is beyond excited and happy about the arrival of her 19th birthday.

But little did she know that tomorrow would be the day that she lost her family and the day she would finally gain freedom.

    Without awareness of the road or the rain, the car moved over the highway, lights on full beam. Jasmine watched how the yellowed yet bright light played in the droplets, showing the deluge, this flood from the sky, in apparently solitary drops. Nobody rarely said anything as the car remained silent, Jasmine's eyes remained glued outside the window. Tommy on the other hand couldn't help but glimpse at her from time to time while he drove them to his home.

    Jasmine woke up the next day completely different from previous days. A small smile painted on her lips as she laid there in the most comfortable bed she ever slept on. Events from yesterday flooded her mind as she slowly opened her slightly tired eyes. Staring up at the plain white ceiling, she sighed. "What did I do to deserve this?" She questioned before her head turned to the sound of the door opening. The person that had just walked through the door was none other than Tommy, himself, who stared blankly at the girl, who slowly sat up.

    Laura and Tamara quickly but gently helped Jasmine move out of the house. As they were leaving, the lifeless bodies of both Tommy and Stephen's men were on the floor. Jasmine looked around in desperation for Tommy, who along with Stephen was nowhere to be found, "Where is he?" Jasmine asked as Tamara looked around, "I'm not sure, I don't see Derek or Stephen either," she replied before Gray runs up to them, "Where's Scar and Lauren?" He asked as Laura looked away, "They stayed back," Tamra replied as Gray's eyes widened, "Stayed back, but Tommy told them to-"They're not leaving, okay, they found out who killed Lori," Laura said as Jasmine looked at her, "I'm sorry that I couldn't do anything, Ray," she said as Laura smiled weakly, "It's not your fault, Jas, the important thing is that she's in a better place and you're safe now," she said as Jasmine's eyes welled up with tears as she nodded before looking back at Gray, who was staring at her swollen stomach in awe, "Where's

    During the night, Tommy and his gang were getting ready to go rescue Jasmine. Nobody had said after the phone call as they were busy getting to walk out alive or die. Tommy was ready to kill the bastards that took his wife away from him, and he was showing no mercy to anyone. They had messed with the queen of his empire, and whoever stood in his way was going to lose their lives. Although Tommy stated simple instructions, Lauren made a promise to herself that she wasn't going to leave that place until she kills the person that killed her sister. She made sure to leave her sister out of it knowing that she would try to talk her out of it, but nothing was going to change her decision. If the person who killed Lorraine thought that she deserves to go back to her maker, then Lauren thinks the person deserves that as well. Everyone had cleared out from the house leaving no evidence or trance that signifies that anyone was ever in the house in the first place.

    Grief is the price we have to pay for love... Nobody ever thought that this was how the gang would've reunited with each other. They were hoping and praying that everyone would walk out alive, but it seems like the world had something in store for them. Everyone was gathered in the graveyard, where the souls of those who had passed away now rest. Wearing the traditional color black, the gang stood in front of the casket of their teammate, close friend, sister, and mother. The atmosphere around them was dishearted and depressing, the wind was very still, and there was immense silence. The sun was nowhere to be seen as the dark, grumpy clouds completely covered it. The moment the gang had retrieved Lorriane's body, the twins immediately decided to bury her in Paris, which was where she had passed, just like she advised them to do. Flashback... Lorraine had g

    Days were beginning to feel quite odd and Stephen noticed, his anxiety levels were growing higher and higher and he had no idea why. His mother still wouldn't answer his calls making him more anxious and worried. Stephen still hadn't left his room, so he had no idea what was going on in the hideout that he was staying at. Worrying about his mother and his theory about Tommy finding his location, Stephen made a call to one of his men that was back at home. Getting in touch with the man, Stephen immediately ordered him to go find out what was going on with his mother. Impatiently pacing back and forth, Stephen's phone suddenly began to ring causing his heart to skip a beat. He picked up the phone with shaking hands before placing it near his ear, "Speak!" He ordered as the man immediately began to tell him all that's been happening back at him. Stephen's blood went cold as he listened to the unfortunate news. The man called Stephen over and over, but there was no respons

    It's been two days since Austin confronted Stephen, and it's been two days since Stephen's men had seen him. It was early that morning when Austin decided to check up on Jasmine. Standing in front of her door, he took a deep breath before opening it. Upon opening the door, Jasmine's head snapped towards it as her heart race. Austin stood frozen at the open door entrance, not expecting her to be awake this early. Upon being greeted by a pair of familiar gray eyes, Jasmine slightly calms down. Austin stood awkwardly in front of the door, glazing at everything but her, while Jasmine's eyes were glued to him, "Are you alright, Austin?" She asked as Austin cleared his throat before looking into her eyes, "I'm fine, I thought you would've been asleep, it's pretty early," he said as Jasmine tilted her head, "I was thought to never let my guard down, to never get comfortable in the face of danger," she said as Austin smirked, "Looks like you learned for the best," he said in a

    Stephen pressed his hand against his wounded shoulder as he glared at Austin while panting, who stared back at him with no emotion, "What the f**k is wrong with you?" He yelled as Austin walked towards him with his gun in his hand, "That's for being a f**king retard," he replied as Stephen glared at him, "Have you lost your f**king mind?" He gritted through his teeth as the pain from his wound caused beads of sweat to form on his forehead, "Have you, what the f**k were thinking when you locked Jasmine up?" He asked as Stephen rolled his eyes, "Oh, she's fine," he said in an emotionless tone causing Austin to clench his jaw.Suddenly dreadful scream escaped from Stephen's lips as Austin punched him the face before pressing down on his wounded shoulder, "Oh she's far from okay, and because of your dumbass she almost lost her baby," he said as Stephen began to laugh, "Not my f**king problem, that little b*tch should've died," he said before Austin punched him in the face o
