Chapter one
Olivia (POV)
Hey, my name is Olivia Russo I'm 21. I grew up with 6 older overprotective brothers and an overprotective dad which I still call Daddy. My mother died when I was still very so I never knew her.
For the last three years, I've lived in New York with my abusive boyfriend Bash. In the beginning, when I meet him in high school, he was nice and sweet the best guy I've ever met but after we left school and I moved in with him he showed his true colors.
He lost the job he had because of the drugs and alcohol. He's kept going back in his life every day he disappears for hours and after a few days of asking and getting slapped, I just stopped asking. You see I'm a babysitter slash artist I get good enough money but he spends all of it.
You also might be asking why I'm not leaving him or where my family is and why they don't do anything about the abuse
Well here's the answer. My father told me it was a bad idea he warned me but I was stupid enough to follow my own heart. I still call them on their birthday and on holidays but I never told them or let them visit. And the reason I never left him is that I'm afraid. Afraid of what he would do if he found out where I am and what he will do if he caught me leaving.
For the last three years, I had to watch what I say and Watch what I do. I had to be home in time, had his food ready, and get him his beer while he was sitting on the couch watching movies and sports crap. I had to be his slave and some days like today I just didn't give a crap. I feel like nothing and actually want to feel pain.
I'm currently on my way to a tattoo shop. You see I'm a tattoo artist. I create people's tattoo's for them if I don't babysit.
"Hey, Olivia do you have it?" John (the tattoo artist) asked
"Yup right here," I said and show the new art
"Wow that is exactly what I want," Viper said
"You like it? I draw the snake a bit bigger than you said it should but I just thought since your name is Viper there should be a big viper in the tattoo," I said
"I love it. You are an amazing designer," he said
"Thanks but I have to go see you guys tomorrow," I said
"You just got here," John said
"You know Bash, John," I said
"Give me your phone," Viper said
I gave him my phone and asked, "Why?"
"When you need help getting away from him call me or John and we'll be there," he said
"Thanks," I said
"Why don't you just leave that loser anyway?" Viper asked
I just shake my head and said, "I'll see you tomorrow,"
"Bye Olive," they both said
When I got into my car I drove back to the apartment. When I got there I opened the door and Bash was on the couch asleep.
I quietly closed the door, went to the kitchen, and started dinner I placed the pot of water on the stove, and when I turned around to get the spaghetti Bash stood in front of me clearly drunk and piss
"Where were you slut?" He growled out
"After I was done babysitting the Jonhsons Twins I went to the tattoo shop to give John the sketch I drew," I managed to say without stuttering
"Didn't I tell you to come straight home?" He asked me getting more pissed at the minute
"I'm s-sorry," I said and lower my head
"Pathetic little bitch, just get the kicking food ready," he said, slapped my face, and left
When the food was finished I put it on a plate for him.
"Bash, the food is ready," I said and placed the plate on the table
"Where's your plate babe?" He asked from behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist making me freeze
"I'm-m not hungry right now," I said
"Then you don't get to eat until tomorrow night since you're not hungry," he said as he grabbed my hair and pushed me forward making me lean over the table
"No Bash, I'm not in the mood please," I said even knowing he doesn't like it when I say no
"What did you just say?" He growled
"I'm not in the mood," I said and was about to walk to my room when he grabbed my hair and slammed my head against the wall twice
When he let go I fell to the floor and he started kicking me
"You're nothing but a useless slut," he said after he stopped kicking me
I spit out blood and he went to sit down and started eating. I stood up and went to the bathroom. I changed out of my clothes and took a shower. As the water washed some of the blood away I looked at my bruises and wounds before slowly sliding down the tile wall as I cried thinking Why. After a while, I stopped, washed up, and got out. When I was done drying off I put on a short and a loose crop top before I went to lie on the bed
I was about to go to sleep when I heard the bedroom door open
"Babe?" Bash asked
"Yeah?" I asked and look at him
"Go get me another bottle of alcohol," he demanded
"Bash I'm in my sleepwear already I'll go get you one tomorrow," I said
"Go get me a fucking bottle," he demanded again
"Bash," I said
As soon as his name left my mouth he grabbed my hair and dragged me to the door. He throws me against the wall making me fall and before grabbing my hair and pulling me up and he started punching me as he pulled my hair. Punching me over and over again making me scream in pain and groan.
"Stop Bash," I screamed in pain
"Shut up bitch!" He yelled back and punched me in the face
When he finally got tired of punching and kicking me he let my hair go and he looked down as he smirked.
Chapter twoAfter Bash left I knew that I needed help and that something was wrong so I grabbed my phone and called John immediately"Hello?" He answered"John..." I struggle to say because of the blood coming out of my nose and the blood taste I had in my mouth and the pain"Olive, what happened are you okay?" He asked concerned"Help" was all I could say before coughing out blood"Are you home?" He asked"Yes," I managed to say"Stay there were coming to get you. Just don't hang up," Viper's voice came over the phoneI started getting tired so I leaned against the wallThe door was suddenly kicked in and a few seconds later John, Viper, and a few others came into the room "Olive," John said as he saw me"Fuck we need to get her to the hospital," Viper said and picked me up after he covered me with his jacket"Where is he?" John asked"Left," I said tiredly"Okay stay awake for me, okay keep your eyes open," Viper saidWhen we got to the hospital he yelled something but I couldn't h
Chapter three Robert (POV) When Viper called me I immediately told my boys who were with me in the office and as we drove to the hospital I called my other son and brother and told them. We all went to the hospital except for Nick and my brother Gio who is going to get on a plane as soon as they can. After the boys left the hospital to go deal with the mother fucker who hurt my baby girl I went to her and when I saw her I barely recognized her She was colorless, pale, tiny, and looked fragile. The bruises and marks were all over her body. How did we not know that fucking bastard did this to her? Why did she never leave him or fight back? Why didn't she tell us about it? Why the hell didn't she listen to me I ignored the thoughts and sat next to her bed. I held her hand and tucked a few loose strands of hair behind her ear "Daddy?" She asked as she awakens "Shh I'm here your safe now," I said and she squeezed my hand I went to call the doctor and after the doctor checked her v
Chapter four Olivia (POV) It's been two days since I'm in the hospital and tonight I'm finally going home. John and Viper came and visited me yesterday. Daddy and my brothers have visited as well but I haven't seen Nicky or Ricky and they were supposed to arrive two days ago Daddy says that Nick had something important to do and that they'll be here tonight. Right now Ollie and I are playing cards and he's letting me win "Why are you letting me win!" I whined "You're my baby twin sister I have to," he said making me glare at him "I hate you," I said making him gasp "How could you say that you are my other half," he joked "I'm not your other half that will be Aria, your fiancee," I said "No, she's my life you are my other half since we're twins," he said I just smiled at him and shook my head. Just as we were about to play another game the door opened up and Aria and Daddy came in "Are you ready to go home?" Daddy asked "Yes!!" I said loudly "Okay get dressed your clothes a
Chapter fiveAfter a couple of hours on the plane, I got bored and decided to check my phone."Why don't you guys stay one night in Italy we can go have fun in a club it's been a long time since I went clubbing," I said"No," Nicky said"All healed and I'm not on any medication so we're going clubbing,""Yeah it sounds fun I can call my parents and tell them we'll be staying a night in Italy," Aria said"One in you guys?" I asked"Count me in," Rick said"Babe please come if you don't who's going to protect me and Olive from that pigs on the floor?" Aria said and pouted slightly"Yeah, who?" I asked smiling wickedly"We're going to land in Italy when it's starting to get dark," Nick said"And we'll go home change clothes and go clubbing," I said smiling"I'm going to regret dis but count me in," Ollie said"Yes we can even call Sammy and invite him," I said"No need to call him he moved in with us a month ago so he should be home," Ricky said as he typed away on his laptop"What!" I ye
Chapter six Waking up we heard the door downstairs slam open. I looked at the clock and saw that I had to go otherwise I would be late for the interview "Shit you have to go," The guy from last night said after we heard kids giggle "Brother we're home!" A guy yelled I quickly got dressed and once I grabbed my shoes the guy pushed me into the bathroom and gave me my purse saying, "Take that door and leave fast," "You have kids?" I asked shocked "Just go," He said before closing the door. I heard his bedroom door open and heard the kids yell "Daddy!" I quickly ran down the stairs and left the house. Once I got outside a guard raised his eyebrows as I did the walk of shame out. "The Taxi, Mr Rodriguez called is here for you miss just tell him where you want to go," The guard said I got in and gave the guy my address. He took me home. When I got there I went in and got a few stares from my brothers "I'm so late," I said and rushed to the room I quickly got in the shower and cha

Ricky asked"Jup. The beds are upstairs. I have an amazing corner for my living room my kitchen looms okay and I have everything I need. Thank you guys," I said"It looks amazing," Sammy said as he came in"Yeah it does," I said with a smile."I brought wine thought we could celebrate," Ricky said"Sorry, we can't. Nicky and I are going out on our first anniversary," Sammy saidI smiled and said, "Congratulations and have fun. Ricky and I will be here watching movies and eating ice cream,"Sammy gave a small fake smile and grabbed Nick's hand before leaving"What is up with him? He seems off," I said"He's cheating on Nick," Ricky said and took a huge drink of the wine he drought"What?" I asked mad"Never caught him but I know he does. He acts all innoce
Chapter eightI lay on my bed and put on a movie for me to watch on my laptop. In the middle of the night, I jumped awake when I heard a gunshot. When I looked it was my laptop that was still on so I turned it off and went back to sleep. The next morning sound 1 am my phone ringed waking me up"Hello?" I answered groggily"Hey I'm sorry to wake you up but Emily has been screaming all night and doesn't want anyone near her, can you come over?" I heard a familiar voice said"Alex?" I asked"Yes?" He replied"Fine I'll be there in a few minutes," I said and hung up the phone.I got out of my bed and got dressed in short jeans, a comfortable t-shirt, and one of my brother's hoodies. I quickly headed to the door and stop when I felt someone behind me"Where are you going?" Ricky asked"What are you doing here?" I asked"Staying here for a few nights," He said"Okay fine I have to go Emily has been screaming all night and Alex's said she needs me," I said and opened the door"It's a bootie c

He yelled"In front of a cafe," I said"Are you okay?" He asked"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm going te get some food do you guys want some?"I asked"No. Rick and I are at work and Sammy is out of town for the next week. I'll see you when you get home. We must talk," he said"Sure," I saidWe said goodbye and he hung up. I went into the cafe and sat down."Hey darling, what can I get you?" a woman asked"Can I have a cup of coffee and a piece of cherry pie please?" I asked"Sure darling I'll be right back," she said and leftI grabbed my sketchbook and started drawing."That's amazing you some kind of artist?" a boy who was sitting behind me asked"Yeah I am an artist," I said"Cool looking for a part-time job.
