Anger flashes in his eyes as they darken, and he gives me a grim look.

“Listen, I have no idea what this is about?—”

“Don’t you dare fucking lie!” I scream at him as I point a finger in his direction. Taking a deep breath, I look away for a moment before I start again. “Six years, Julius. Six fucking years you spent crawling into my bed and molesting me when everyone else was asleep. I was eight years old when you first started. What was it about my adolescence that aroused you most? The fact that I was a child, or the fact that your dick is too small to satisfy a grown woman?”

“Can someone come get this girl?” he yells, his tone a touch desperate, as he looks around. “Clearly, she’s not mentally well and needs assistance.”

Out of the corner of my eye, I see one of the security guards starting to approach me, then I startle when I hear the sound of glass shattering.

Someone rushes to my side, blocking the security guard before he can get too close to me, and points a broken champagne bottle up at him.

“Let her talk,” the young man challenges in an even tone, “or we can play with sharp objects and see who’s better at it.”

Thank you,I think silently as I steal a glance down at the top of his head.

It’s obvious that someone in the sea of perversion finally believes me enough to let me have my say.

“Out of curiosity,” I continue as I tuck my hair behind my ears, “how long did you think you’d be able to keep this buried? Is it because most of your friends,” I pause briefly to gesture with a hand, “are into little kids, too?”

“What?”

The young man looks up at me in shock.

“It’s nice to know that you’re not part of the pervo club,” I tell him dryly before I look at Julius again.

“No, wait a minute. These are baby rapers?”

“Julius Parker is the ringleader, but after all the years that have passed between us, I don’t know if any of the rest are still into kiddie parts,” I tell him, my eyes boring into Julius.’

“You lying, filthy little bitch!” Julius booms as he attempts to lunge at me. I brace myself for the impact of his large hands on my body again, and before the young man holding the security guard at bay has a chance to react, Kuruk appears out of nowhere and wraps his large, muscular arms around Julius’ chest and pulls him back.

“Relax, Mr. P. Think of the little girl you used to know instead of the angry woman in front of you and listen. You may learn something.”

I give him a sad smile.

Holding back Julius Parker is a surefire way to lose his job, and that means his family will more than likely suffer, but maybe ….

Taking a deep breath, I put my hands on my hips again.

“But it wasn’t just my life you and your little bitch princess ruined,” I begin again, feeling a little bolder. “When Josephine had me removed from your house, I was pregnant.That’sthe real reason she threw me out. Not because she gave a fuck that you were putting your disgusting body and teeny dick into me. It was because she didn’t want to raise another child.”

“Mom knew?”

I look to the side at the sound of Emily’s shocked tone and roll my eyes.

“How do you think I got the prenatal care I needed? Josephine paid for it herself. She said it was the least she could do. I guess she grew a conscience after realizing what she had done.”

“Davina, get down.”

I arch an eyebrow at the young man as he looks up at me, his eyes searching mine for something, and he sighs.

“We don’t belong here. We may not be any good ourselves, but we’re nothing like these people.”

He holds up a hand to me and I recoil, wondering if it’s a trick, when he smiles slightly, and I see the dimple on his left cheek. My heart starts to beat a little faster as I try to place him. That one trait that always made me happy to see.

“Rock?” I ask quietly, my lower lip starting to tremble.

His smile turns into a grin and I hop down, wrapping my arms around my brother and bury my face into the space between his neck and shoulder.
