Dahlia pov-

The week is already over and I'm going to meet the rest of the family. I got to spend time with dad only when he is free, and Leo and the twins. Mateo is always at work, Rafael and Victor just act like I'm not there

I wash up and got ready making sure to cover up my bruises

Her outfit:

"Lia come down" Dad yelled

Well time to meet the family

I went downstairs to see unfamiliar people talking to my brothers and father they never noticed

"Figlio, is that her?" the older looking women asked making everyone turn there attention to me and stop from what there doing

Dad walked up to me "Yes mamma this is our missing principessa. Everyone meet Dahlia"

The older women and man step up first

"Hi bambino I'm grandmother and this your grandfather. Just call me nonna and your grandfather nonno" she said giving me a bone crushing hug I flinch, trying not to scream I started feeling the burning sensation in ribs

"I'm sorry dear"

"It's okay just not use of getting hugs" I said

"Hi I'm your aunt Caterina this idiot sister" pointing to my father

"And this is my husband Ambrose and your cousins Alfonso, Cedro, Luca, and Giovanni, Emiliano"

"Hi, I'm Alfonso the oldest bellissimo" my oldest cousin said smiling at me

"I am Cedro second oldest"

"I am Emiliano the third oldest"

"I am Giovanni the Fourth oldest"

"I am Luca the youngest" he said giving me a little smile and wave

Then the rest of the family introduce their selves

My uncle Roberto and his wife Eleonora they had they two sons Elio and Amadeo

My uncle Stefano and his wife Angelica they had there three sons David, Santino, and Armani

And my uncle Vincenzo he is single and don't have kids the youngest out of all

We all laughed and talk about different things it's been a long time since I had a good laugh and smile on my face, I had good time but I know I shouldn't get to attach

"Hey Lia Me, your uncle and aunts and grandparents have some business to tend to tomorrow so we will be leaving tonight. So your brothers and cousins will stay with you" papa said

I nodded my head

--time skip--

My dad and them all left leaving me with my brothers and currently we are watching a movie when they ask if I wanted to watch it with them I couldn't refuse

I was sitting between Cedro and Leo the rest where either on the floor or sitting on the other couches.

I was starting to get sleepy and I didn't want to walk upstairs cause I was to lazy to do I laid my head on Leo lap and he let me

I was fighting myself to stay up, I didn't want to have nightmares. Leo noticed that I was fighting my sleep so he played with my hair for a while it felt nice, but I instantly went to sleep

°°°

⚠️ *flashback/nightmare* mentioned rape⚠️

She was finally going to be safe, knowing that he won't find her took relief off my shoulders

I was walking around the corner to where the house was his truck was still there

Is he still unconscious I thought

I walked towards the house going in. knowing that was the worse mistake

Standing in front of was Percy fuming with anger

He pushed mye against the wall, putting me in a choke hold

"WHERE IS SHE" he yelled, he kept yelling but I wouldn't answer so that made him angrier

He was getting furious by the minute so I answered

And threw me on the ground

My voice cracked as I was trying to speak

"SHE'S GONE, SHE'S SAFE AWAY FROM YOU. YOU MAY HIT ON ME AND DO EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO HURT ME BUT YOUR NOT GOING TO HURT HER YOU SICK BASTARD" I voiced yelling back

I could see the incensed rage in his eyes, his grab a grip of hair and drag me upstairs, he enters his room and throws me the bed

He handcuffs my hands to the railing and took his belt and pants off, I then realized what he was about to do. I kicked and screams my lungs for him to not do it, but that only made him like it more

"NO PLEASE STOP, I BEG YOU" I screamed that only made he slap me

"SHUT THE FUCK YOU BITCH"

He thrusts himself into me over and over

I had sex before, but feeling this forced perception it hurt like it was the first time and I couldn't take it

"PLEASE STOP IT, IT HURTS"

*flashback/nightmare over*

°°°

"Dahlia wake up it's just a dream" I heard someone say

"Lia wake up" the voice was different this time it was

I felt someone playing with my hair

I'm scared to wake that it will be dream and I'm with Percy all over again

"Come Dahlia wake up" Mateo screamed

I jolted up up from my sleep
