filthy hands off of me, slave!”
    Hands grab me from behind, yanking me away from David.
    I pull against them, fighting to be free. David tucks his cock back in his pants and then zips up. I shake my head, rage setting my insides alight. I yank free and swing a fist at David. The impact of my knuckles against his cheek is loud.
    David takes a swing at me and I watch as the first blow slams into my jaw. I don’t pull away as he starts to throw one punch after the other. I get my own punches in and a few makes him grunt with pain.
    Hands claw at my back and arms, and I’m pulled away from David.
    He comes at me, his face dark and bloody. He starts to pound one fist after the other into me.
    In my warped mind I feel it’s only right that the one person I promised to protect from this life is the one to end it, seeing as I failed him.
    I failed David. My heart mourns because David is just like them. David is a monster. I tried to protect him from becoming a slave and instead he became a monster!
    My soul grieves because I’ve failed Momma.
    My vision blurs and I sink to my knees. Punches become kicks until the darkness drags me under.
    When I come to it’s dark. My hands and feet are tied and I’m spread over a bench. I’m naked and every inch of my body is alive with pain. Someone is slamming his cock into my ass, fucking me raw.
    I hear a whimper and I squint through one swollen eye. In front of me is Sophia, also leaning over a bench. David is fucking her hard, but his eyes are on me. “Thanks for all the money you made us you dumb fuck,” he sneers. “Sadly, every hole has an expiration date and you’ve reached yours. No use in pretending anymore. But hey, the money you made us came in handy. The new Ferrari I bought with some of the money they paid for the two of you drives like a dream.” He keeps pumping hard into Sophia as he tells me all of this. “I think I’ll get myself a yacht and a nice place somewhere in Europe. Yes!” He laughs hungrily, and that’s when I see it – he’s just like Cameron – he only cares about the money we can bring in.
    The person behind me comes violently and then they pull out. I know this night is far from finished. This was how I was trained. This is how they try to break you. A whip cracks over the back of my thighs and balls, cutting into my flesh.
    Every blow hurts more than the one before, tearing the very skin from my bones.
    I close my eye not even bothering to see who is doing the whipping and fucking. I’m ready to die. David was all I was living for and he’s gone.

    Chapter Six
     
    River~
    Sunday morning can’t come fast enough! I want to go home. Adam has already taken our bags to the car. Now we only need to collect Jack and Sophia and we’ll be on our way.
    As we leave the room Sven is waiting for us. “Master Cameron would like to speak with you one last time.” It’s not a request.
    We follow him to the same study we met Cameron in yesterday. I transferred the funds in front of him. I’ve paid for Jack and Sophia’s freedom.
    The same stale cigar smell hangs in the air. Cameron is busy with a call and I take a seat. Adam takes the seat next to me. I can feel how tense he is.
    When Cameron is done with the call he leans back in the oversized leather chair. He rests his hands on the armrests and crosses his legs.
    “There’s been a development,” he starts.
    My body tightens and I try to stay calm as I say, “I’ve paid for the slaves.”
    “Indeed you have,” he continues. “You will have them, but they are no longer in the same condition. You see,” Cameron clears his throat and taps his fingers on the leather as if he’s bored, “the male slave attacked my son.”
    My heart flutters with panic. “Both of the slaves had to be punished. It’s the law of my house.”
    I grind my teeth to cling to the slither of control I still have. “Just let me have my slaves.”
    Cameron nods. “They have been taken to your vehicle. I just
