That voice, I knew it by heart, it was Ethan!
Just by saying that, the guys in the room went
from loud and arrogant to quiet and obedient.
A flicker of hope sprang to life in my chest.
Ethan was here!
If he knew, he would get me out of this.
I struggled to break free of the two men, and
ran towards the door, yelling out, “Ethan!”
The guys went after me and shoved a rag in my
mouth, dragging me back into the room.
Bang! The door closed again

pieces on the ground,
to pass out and, as my brain started to black
out, I slammed my head to the floor.
Bang! The door kicked in!
Ethan, his face tight, stepped into the room.
looking angry.
“Did I not tell you…”
Before he could finish, the two men kneeled
down, “Boss, she found out about us, and we
were going to deal with her.”
“Yeah, if we let her go, she’ll make trouble for
us.”
Ethan looked at them, his eyebrows coming
together.
He seemed to smell something familiar.
He pointed at me and asked, “Where did you
find this one?”
I made a gurgling noise.
No, he couldn’t hear me.
I crawled to him.
Before I could talk, Ethan stepped back,
disgusted.
The two men were quick to smack me, “How
dare you try to hook our boss! You think you’re
all that?”
“Pete was just here, and she tried to say that
she’s our boss’s girl! She needs to get what she
deserves!”
I was shaking my head, not wanting to give up
my last chance and raised my hands, my palm
was showing with a red birthmark.

If Ethan saw that, he would know!

“You think you can trick me, trying to steal my woman? You think you’re good enough?”
I couldn’t believe it, he didn’t remember me.
The burning in my chest was too much, I
couldn’t hold my body up and fell to the floor.
Ethan narrowed his eyes, and turned and
walked out of the room.
“Deal with it yourselves. Hurry it up, I don’t want
my carpets ruined.”
The door closed, and darkness fell.
“You think you can mess with our boss? You’re
nothing!”
“You think you’re good enough to be our boss’s
girl? She has pure blood, not a piece of trash
like you!”
They started kicking me and then, their eyes fell
on my daughter.
I crawled over to protect her.
But they picked her up and stepped on my
chest, holding me to the ground and yelling out,
“I’ll show you! I’ll kill your daughter, then I’ll kill
you!”
The pain brought my daughter back, and her
eyes were filled with terror as she called for me,
“Mom! Mom!”
Bang! A shard was scraped across her face,
leaving a trail of blood.
My anger was building up, but there was
nothing I could do, and I could only watch as
they tortured my daughter!
I heard a few clicks from the corner, a man was
standing there with a camera.
I heard a woman’s voice coming from the
phone, “Make her suffer! Don’t let her die
easily.”
“Oh, take a few photos to show me! I love
watching someone as high–and–mighty as Sara
getting dragged through the mud.”
I didn’t know who the guy was, but I recognized
that voice, it was in my bones!
It was Amanda, my so–called best friend.
The person I considered my best friend, had
pulled me into this, and wanted to watch me
die!
