" One night, he came back drunk from a party. I was sleeping at that time with my mother. He came to the room. He grasped both of ours hair and started shouting in the worst language possible.
Then started beating me. My mom tried to stop him but he pushed her and she got hit by something on her head and passed out. He choked me, I was struggling to breathe. Soon I passed out too. He throw me on the floor and went out.
In the early morning when my mom got back her sense, she ran towards me and found I was still breathing. She took me in her arms and left home for good. She decided not to go back anymore but.." Antonia started crying again.
Lucas ran his hand all over her back to soothe her.
" She had to gave up everything for me Lucas." Antonia said loudly crying. Lucas felt his heart tearing apart seeing her crying like that. But he chose to let her out everything.
" She took me to her parents house. I was 11 at that time. My grandparents were kind enough to let us stay with them. They even said they will bear my medical bills. But my father came one night. He was furious that my mother chose me over him and my sister. I knew my father was very powerful. He came with a lot of men.
My mother hid me in the garden thinking my father was there to kill me and take her with him. But my father had other plans. He started beating my mother. My grandparents tried to stop him but his men started beating them too.
I was watching everything from the garden hiding. After sometime time I saw my father stabbing my mother. He was looking like a psycho. He kept stabbing her even after she died. I still remembered he stabbed her 21 times. His men killed my grandparents. They searched the whole house for me but when they didn't find out my father shouted to burn down the whole house so that I die in anywhere I was hiding. With a lot of struggle I got out from the back door and ran not knowing where to go.
I stumbled in front of a car and lost sense. After I got back my sense I saw a woman looking at me with pitiful eyes. She was a nun and she ran an orphanage. She took me into her care. But the orphanage didn't have enough donation to feed the children let alone studying and other things. I was the oldest among the children. I used to go out, wash dishes in restaurants and earn some money.
Like this two years passed. One day a boy noticed me and started following me.
I confronted him what he wanted. He confessed that he liked me. He was elder but I don't remember how much. I tried to ignore at first but he kept approaching and I fell in his trap. He used to show me love, make me feel special by giving gifts, flowers, take care of me.
I really loved those but I didn't know what he was hiding behind that good boy mask.
One day he told me he had to go far from that city for his study. I thought he was leaving me. But he proposed something else.
He asked me to come with him, he said he would do part time jobs and look after me. He knew about my situation. He told me to run away with him. Me being the lovesick, I thought he meant it. So at the age of 14, I ran away with him leaving a note that I'm leaving on my own and they didn't have to look for me." Antonia said sighing.
" Then? Did he leave you on road or something like that?" Lucas asked.
Antonia broke the hug and looked at him with a painful smile. Then lowered her head while crying.
" I would be glad if he did that. He took advantage of me. He wasn't going out of the city. He took me to a shady place and locked me there. Then he and his other friends raped me. They used to rape and abuse me everyday at anytime.
After being satisfied using me they started calling men to use me for their pleasure in exchange of money. I was dead inside. Whenever I tried to protest they used to beat me till I passed out. Like this I became a whore." Antonia said.
She didn't want to look at Lucas now. She was feeling ashamed of herself. She was afraid what if she saw hatred and disgusted look on his face. That's why she chose to keep looking down. Tears were still running on her face.
Lucas was feeling horrible hearing her story. Are they human being? How could they do something so horrible with a little girl? His heart was burning for Antonia.
" After using me for making money for two years they declared me as professional whore and sold me in a bar where mafias used to come to have fun. I was used there too. They were dangerous than those boys. They used to use different tools to fulfill their fantasy. They used drugs on me to make me vulgar and many more nasty things.
Then one night a mafia came who didn't want to let go of me even after two whole days. Then he bought me and took me to his mansion as his personal slat. Do you know who he was? It was James Rollins. Auroras ex boyfriend.
He liked me because I was weak, fragile and didn't talk too much just like Aurora and he could do anything with me. He used to moan her name while having sex with me. He was weak for her body I guess. Then finally Aurora came with my freedom. That day I still remember James was about to torture me sexually again but Aurora attacked and he went down with rage. After that Aurora came to me and rescued me from that hell." Antonia finished chuckling bitterly. Lucas was out of words now.
