I finish bathing quickly and bang on the door with all my might.It is frustrating to return to the past and not be able to do something to prevent the pains of the past from reaching our present.A question forms in my mind, but the one to whom I should ask it is not present.Desperate, I run to my brother's phone and look for his number with the intention of stopping this.One call, two calls and it is on the third call that my mother finally decides to answer.On the call"Son, is something wrong?" my mother asks."Why?" I say having as my melody the screaming and banging coming from the other side of the door "Why are you giving us to him if you know how evil he is?""Baby...""Why do you have to condemn us to the hell we previously lived together!" I angrily reproach her "Why of all people do you have to leave us with him!""Because he is your father." he replies as if that is the explanation that numbs the pain such words cause in me.Disappointment washes over me as the screams
"Do we really have to live with him?""Yes.""You promised." I groan.David stops his pacing already on the second floor and turns to face me."I can't do something to keep my promise when the law isn't on my side. Neither of us are of legal age and our mother signed over custody to our father. So tell me what can we do to avoid all this craziness?" he asks frustrated. He doesn't want this, but evidently can't do anything to change it."We'll figure something out. We just have to...""Understand little one, there's not something we can do.""I refuse that there isn't a way out. There always is and I will see to it that I find it." I assure climbing the stairs to get to my bedroom."Little girl," David says grabbing my arm in supplication."No, David. I don't plan on judging you for giving up, but don't ask me to do the same because it won't happen." I finish to continue my walk.I close the door to then sit on my bed with the intention of thinking of some solution. Frustrated for havi
The celebration is not long in coming. Daniel lets go of me and hugs with David, Aninka and Luka who I don't know at what point he arrived."Finally!" says Daniel to his friends.David smiles at me and nods in satisfaction, while I roll my eyes at so much drama over something I don't see the significance of.Daniel comes back to me smiling and my fear of being squeezed by his arms and torso cause me to raise my hands for him to stop."Let's stop all this drama and use our time on something productive, like, say, stopping Mr. Mordashov from taking us to his house." I comment wearily."Little girl," David scolds me."Let's not go back to the same thing." I reply and then turn my gaze to the boys "Our father is Mr. Mordashov, who is the same man who will have custody of Aninka and Esteban.The astonishment in Daniel and Luka is noticeable."Mr. Mordashov is your father?"I nod."Yes, that monster is. Now, I don't know how you guys know him, but...""As the business demon." comments Luka.
David, who was ahead of us, brakes suddenly, causing Daniel to do the same. The four of us are left leaning forward. The shock leaves us in silence until Luka complains."What's wrong with you Daniel, can't you drive properly or what?" he asks annoyed.However, no one answers him."Start the car" asks Michael at what we all see.No way.David didn't brake because he wanted to, he had to when a car drove through and it's car, although I've seen it few times in my life, I can recognize it.For the hell of it."No, don't. Guys let me out of the car" I ask when what I didn't want to see, he gets out of the car.His men join him and in less than no time they get everyone out of the car."Where's your bitch of a sister!!! That bastard I must teach her a lesson!" he shouts angrily.I immediately open the door with difficulty and climb out over Luka, while Michael amazed by everything going on, pulls out his phone and starts recording.What a good idea.David who was roughly pulled out of the
The pain makes me wake up. I honestly don't know what day it is, let alone the time, I just know why I'm here and what I have to do from now on.I wake up and find myself alone, which doesn't surprise me. I have no family that really cares how I am.This time alone, in which to my misfortune I can't move. It has helped me to analyze what is my next step. Which, no doubt, includes the suffering of Mr. Mordashov. The bastard who procreated me.The doctor and nurses make their rounds, in which they emphasize that I can not make sudden movements and among them is to get up.Before leaving, the doctor warned me that if I misbehaved, he would sedate me again. So, without any desire, I agreed to stay calm.According to what I have been told, it has been seven days since that monster hit us, days in which I have only had minutes of consciousness thanks to the state in which he left me and the sedative that I was given afterwards.Among my belongings I have my phone. However, I haven't contact
"I don't want you to think nothing happened. Yes, it happened. And for that your father will pay for the damages, not you. Neither your brother nor you are guilty of the bad acts that Mr. Mordashov committed.>> So don't even give me the bullshit that you don't want to see us, because no doubt today you will know his side when he's angry and I assure you, he's not cool at all. Well, basically I'm cool all the time." He says as he ponders his words" It won't be... good for you."I turn to where he stands and his expression amuses me. However, the bruises on his face prevent me from smiling."Guys, I'm really sorry about what happened. That shouldn't have happened to you.""You're wrong. This should have happened. This was the only way to have evidence against that man" Camilo comments approaching me to take my fingers.Which is the only thing I don't have in plaster."You are not alone. You never will be because little girl, you are part of our little circle and as a member we will not
"At least all is not lost," Michael comments with a smile. "So did they give him custody?" "No. From what little they could inform me, things are not simple. But really what is clear is that Mr. Mordashov will not be able to live with you." "I don't understand." I say. "I didn't understand much either, which is why the lawyer is left to meet with me now. So I'll be right back. Hopefully what he has to tell me will be beneficial to your brother and you." he comments and then kisses his son goodbye and leaves. "So be it." she whispers. "I am still in awe of all that has happened" Michael comments when we are alone again. "With everything he's done before, it didn't surprise me" Luka comments. "And that's what scares me the most. The situation with David and you is being sorted out, but where was I left in the middle of all this?" says Aninka fearfully. "It's true. We have thought about the problem that David and I have, but we ignore that Aninka may also be in the same danger."
My physical condition is not optimal, the casts and pains in my body limit my movements, so doing something as simple as picking up the phone is difficult for me. Fortunately, the meddling nurse who is always trying to get me to see the positive in everything, has taken it upon herself to keep it charged.The phone rings insistently again. The ringtone surprises me.The notes of Umbrella play in the room, while Rihanna's melodious voice reminds me of the promise my brother and I have.David is calling me.My vision becomes blurry from that simple fact and my urge to pick up the phone becomes my reason for living. I try to move quickly, but the pain in my body reminds me that's not possible.The call ends, but my urge to pick up the phone doesn't go away.'If he called me, it's because he can and wants to talk to me.' I remind myself as motivation not to give up.The umbrella notes are heard again and my limited movement makes me despair.Between groans and gasping for breath, I manage
