--- In the Brancaccio Mansion ---
Eowyn (Charlotte Mother’s) Pov:
“But, Vinz” I try to convinced him to at least give Charlotte the money like she ask in the letter.
“Eowyn, NO!” He snap and I know when he calls me by my full name; it means that it’s a lost cause.
I glare at him before storming out from his office and didn’t think of stopping when he calls my name. He’ll get what he deserves later, I thought angrily.
I take my phone out and dialed her number and hoping that she didn’t change it.
When she turned 16, I gave her a second phone because I knew having Vinz as a father and Vincent as a brother who are both really protective of her, it would be really hard for her to have freedom, so I gave it to her so she can contact her special friends(or hidden boyfriend) whenever she wants without scared about being found out by her protectors father and brother.
My princess grew up with a different life from me; when I was younger, I only had Tes beside me while she has everything besides her freedom.
That’s what makes me more lenient with her.
‘Mom?’
I gasp before sob when I hear my baby’s voice.
“Oh God, is it really you, Charlotte?” I can tell that she’s also crying.
‘No, Mom. Do not call me’ I was shocked when I heard how worried she sounded.
“But....”
‘BELLA... WHERE ARE YOU, b***h!!?’ I gasp when I hear someone yelling a name next to her in the background before she quickly cut the phone.
Bella?
Who’s Bella?
“Charlotte... No... Charlotte, what is going on?!”
Beep... Beep... Beep....
The question kept repeating in my mind, who’s Bella?
I try to reach her again but it looks like she turned off her phone so I can’t call her, as my heart is beating really fast as I remember the angry voice in the background.
What is going on?
Is it Landon?
I know I can’t tell my husband or his men because he will going crazy mad. I just need to make sure what happened to her first before I can tell them.
I quickly dial my friends’ number whom I know are living in the America.
I wait impatiently while tap my fingers on the desk hoping that he picks the phone up.
“Clancy here”
I sighed as I recognize the voice.
“Sam... Samuel, it’s me Eowyn” I say nervously when I heard his voice, it’s been a while since I have spoken to my best friends Sam and Alex.
“Eowyn?” He asked me, surprised that I called him, usually I call for his wife, Alex “It’s been a while since I’ve heard from you. How ar…”
“Sam, I need your help” I cut him off and he stops immediately when I spoke, then I went on to tell him everything that has happened in my family, knowing that he’s someone that will do anything to help me and my family, I have known him since forever.
Please God, don’t let anything happen to my daughter.

Charlotte Pov:
I am shocked when I feel my second phone vibrating, the phone that I always hide below the pillow since Landon destroy my IPhone that my father gave me.
There’s only one person that will call me on this phone.
Quickly I run to bathroom and lock it before I pick up the phone and speak.
“Mom?” I speak slowly unsure of why she’s calling.
‘Oh God, is that really you, Charlotte?’ She sighs and I couldn’t stop the tears from flowing when I hear her voice. She was the person who never hurt me. Oh God, I miss her.
But then, I realize....
“No, Mom. Do not call me” I said it quickly as I hear Landon’s feet hitting the floorboards as he is walking to my room.
‘But...’ She tries to speak.
“BELLA... WHERE ARE YOU, b***h!!?” I gasp when I hear Landon screaming my name then quickly cut the phone and hiding it behind the towel rack so he can’t see or find it.
I take a deep breath before open the bathroom door but suddenly cry out when I feel his fist on my face and the impact of the hit makes me fall back before hit the wall.
“ARGH...” I grunt.
I feel blood in my mouth and my face starts hurting like hell.
Then he throws the contraceptive pills at my head and I close my eyes in defeated, s**t, he knows then.
“How long have you been drinking this?” He asks and grasps my hair roughly so he can see my eyes.
“Argh... It... It’s the old pill. I don’t drink it anymore” I lied, hoping that he won’t get really mad and hit me again. The other bruises are still on my body and I don’t think I can’t handle another hit from him.
He takes my hand dragging me back and then throws me on my bed.
He smirks as he slowly starts taking his clothes off.
Oh no... God no...
“Well then, let me try harder to get you pregnant, shall I?”
“NOOOOO...!” I can’t take his body touching mine anymore.
I start hit his head and kicking his stomach but he keep moving and force me to open my legs like my attack didn’t effect him.
He slaps my face then starts hitting me repeatedly like he want to make me weaker, but I keep struggling and fight him not willing to give up.
I try to reach anything on the desk beside my bed when I feel his member slowly entering inside.
No... NOOO!!!
SMACKK!!!
And God helps me when I reach the table lamp and quickly I hit him with it over his head. He looks shocked for a second as it shatter on his head and I can see blood coming from his head.
“YOU b***h!!” He spat at me and threw me away from the bed and kicking and hit me repeatedly wherever he could reach. I tuck my chin in and I try to keep my eyes open for as long as I can. “How dare you hurt me like that?!” He spat and threw me so I hit the wall before falling down to the ground.
I take a deep breath and try to raise my head “If you think that hurt, think of what you do to me? IT HURTS, DAMN IT!!” I screaming in angrily as he walks closer, but I am ready for him.
I already take another table lamp and throw it at his head again. He freeze for a second before falling down face first to the ground.
Gasped, I’m shocked as I see Landon stop move all together so I start crying out loud.
I forced myself to get up on my feet and start walking after I took a big T-shirt with jeans and wear them. I flinch and groan when I feel my entire body scream with pain and hurt as I try to moving. I walk to the bathroom and search for the phone that I hid.
I know there’s only one person that I can trust.
My mother....
****************************************
“Mom? I need your help” I squeak and sob when she quickly answers the phone even before the first ring ended.
‘Oh my God, Charlotte? What’s wrong? Why are you crying?’ She sounded so worried and asks me so many questions, but I need to get away from here immediately before the demon awakens.
“I need you to come and take me away from here” I choked on my words and couldn’t stop the tears that keep falling from my eyes.
‘Yes... Yes... Where are you, baby?’ She quickly said without asking anymore questions, I guess she knew something wasn’t right with me.
“I’ll share my direction to you where you can found me, but please hurry mom” I said and then take the jacket and pants before walk away and out from the house.
I shivered when the cold air hit my skin even though it’s only 9 PM.
I know where I am heading and I keep trying to make my body follow my mind and moved.
When I’m walking close to the street, I saw everyone look at me with disgust and shock when they saw me. Even there is a child who point at me and asks to her mother, but she quickly takes her child away from me.
People and their passiveness, but I can’t blame them. I guess I would do the same if I were them.
I sighed and took a seat in front of the store that I mention to my mother, I don’t know how I forced my body to move and walk this far, its was miracle.
As I closed my eyes however I could still feel everyone looking at me, but I didn’t care.
I didn’t know how long I sat there.
“Charlotte... Charlotte?” I hear someone calling my name softly.
Slowly I open my eyes and start crying when I saw the man kneel in front of me.
I know that face....
“Uncle Sammy....” I hug him and I know he look shocked and mad as he took in my appearance.
“Oh God, princess...” He whispered in my ear and carried me slowly bridal style to his blue car before put me down on the passenger seat very slowly like he don’t want to hurt me.
With him being here, I know that I am safe now.
It must be my mother who asked him to come and take me away from here.
That was my last thought before darkness took me away from the world.
