My back is to the entrance. Thinking it is Rueben, I say, my eyes on the horses, "I know you told me not to "

I am cut short not by Rueben but by Jason. My blood chills in my veins. "Here you are, you stupid whore." Diva starts to bark and I grab her by her collar before she can attack Jason. "Keep that mutt away from me if you don't want me to kill it!"

I look over my shoulder. "Wait for me outside," I say to my brother while I hold back Diva, who is getting more agitated.

Jason takes a few steps towards me. “Are you telling me what to do?" he questions me.

Holding his gaze, I say, “No.”

"Are you looking at my face?"

I quickly shake my head and keep my gaze focused on his coat. "I won't be able to keep Diva back for much longer."

"Diva," he scoffs. “What a stupid name.” He turns to leave and Miss Teapot gets in his way.

Knowing Jason hates cats, I try to say, 'no' or 'don't,' but he kicks the poor thing so hard she flies out the barn through the open door. Tears swirl in my eyes. I need to find Miss Teapot before she gets lost in the blizzard.

Jason leaves. I let out a sigh. "Stay here,” I tell Diva—who thankfully listens to me—before I go after my brother.

He is waiting for me in front of the barn. I close the door before he grabs my arm, his fingers digging painfully into my flesh.

"Let's go."

"I need to find Miss Teapot first."

Jason narrows his eyes. "Who?"

"The cat."

"I don't give a shit about it. I said let's go!"

Jason tries to drag me after him and I dig my heels in the snow. "What is wrong with you? It's a—"

Jason slaps me so hard my ears ring. "Say one more word and I will fucking beat you until the snow around us turns red!"

I stop resisting and just follow Jason as he goes in the direction of the shed-which is behind the barn and from there to the pasture. It is snowing so hard that our tracks will be covered in seconds. There is no way Ansel or the others will find Jason and me in time. It is better this way. Things between Ansel and me would have never worked out. I am so broken there is nothing I can give him. Besides, he would have gotten in trouble with his blood-brothers because of me and I don't want that.

It doesn't take long for me to stop feeling cold. Am I getting hypothermia? If so, it won't be long until I die. I will start feeling hot, and then I will be reunited with Camila.

A car is waiting not far from the pasture, and I curse myself in my mind for bad luck I have had since I was born.

Sean opens the driver's door and gets out of the car. "Where's Roy?" Turning his attention to me, he adds, "What happened to you? You look like you've been through hell and back." Something like that.

Jason opens the passenger's door. "Get in," he orders me. I obey without hesitation and I get in the back of the car next to Leo. "Roy is dead," Jason's replies to Sean's question.

I can't say I'm sorry. Roy, while he wasn't the worst of Jason's friends, he took great pleasure in hurting me.

"Aren't we going to avenge him?” Leo asks.

Jason takes out a small knife from the interior pocket of his jacket and gives is to Sean. "This was of great help. I wouldn't have escaped without it." Looking at Leo, he says, “We will, but first we need to get the whore home. My father has already been asking too many questions about her and I don't want him to come here when he already has a busy schedule."

Father is keeping tabs on what I'm doing? It shouldn't surprise me, but it's been so long since I heard anything about him since Jason barely tells me anything.

Jason and Sean get back in the car.

"Can I have it now?" I dare to ask.

Jason looks at me. "Have what?"

I look out the window. "My drugs."

It is Leo who answers. "After you suck my

cock."

I close my eyes. Fucking man after man was never a problem, but the idea of touching Leo makes my skin crawl. It's not like I have any other choice. My eyes pop open and without looking at him, I place my hand on his thigh. "How may I please you, Sir?"

“Leo, you can fuck her when we get home," Jason says. I snatch my hand back, not wanting to touch Leo anymore. “Meanwhile," Jason opens the glove compartment and takes out a syringe, "give her what she wants. We need to talk.” Leo grabs the syringe, and when I feel the familiar jab in my upper arm, I can finally breathe easily for the first time in weeks.

The car starts.

The drug kicks in, and I close my eyes, letting the numbness take over.

**Hi everyone. Sorry for not being able to update daily. English is not my first language and I have to wait for my Beta Readers to go over chapters before I post them but I am trying to get ahead of updates so I won't have to make anyone wait. Just bear with me for a few days until I get back on track**
