Chapter 238
Waking up my head and body hurt. I try and move feeling myself strapped down. Great, I keep my head down and consider the way forward. I can’t consider the way forward, I don’t know who it is, or what they want. To make a plan I need to know that.
I raise my head slowly finding myself tied to a chair. The metal from the barbed wire pushes into my skin and causes me to bleed.
Okay, so it’s not Dean or Richard. This isn’t their style at all. I look around myself the room is empty other than this chair. It’s an old building, and the windows are covered with wood. No windows. I look around me, only able to see one door.
So only one way out. I’m guessing they have someone on the other side. guarding it in case I try to escape. Right, think Daisy, I look around me. It’s not Dean or Richards. It means it has something to do with the brothers.
So their enemies? Which means it’s two things. Either I am here to be killed and used to lure the brothers, or they plan to torture me into giving up information about the brothers.
What information though? My mind goes back to earlier, to Troy. I fight back the tears, struggling to, as I can still see him dying on the floor. No, I can’t be weak, I can’t fucking cry for that right now. Moving, I twist my wrists, biting back the scream from the pain of the wire digging in. It helped, it stopped me from wanting to fucking cry.
My head lifts as I hear the door, I watch someone walk in and freeze.

“Uncle Nathan?” What the hell is happening? Seeing him brings back my childhood. Evalyn, I fight back the tears and refuse to cry.
“Melinda you look so grown up.” He sits and faces me, my parents with him.
“Why have you taken me?” I don’t understand.
“Melinda, please listen to me.” He looks at me and I shake my head.
“I’m Daisy! Melinda was fucking sold.” I won’t let him call me that.
“Either way, you’re still family, now calm down.” He looks at me waiting.
“Fuck you! Family don’t sell each other. Family don’t try and use each other and hurt them for their own gain. I’m not part of your family or theirs.” I look to my parents. “The day they sold me just to get some quick cash was the day I became unlinked from this family.”
“Your aunt Evalyn, do you remember how she died?” He looks at me waiting.
“She was run over, they told me. Why are you asking that?”
“Because she wasn’t run over, you were too young to be told. She was murdered, tortured and murdered.”
I stare at him shocked, I go to speak but struggle to.
“It was Demitri Devil that killed her. She had married me, and he needed information on the Coppola family, so they tortured her to get it.”
I shake my head, they wouldn’t. They would have said if they had,

surely they would have told me? I feel myself panicking.
“He’s telling the truth, Melinda, trust us.”
I look up at my dad and scream. “Daisy! I’m not Melinda, and as for trusting you, not a chance. I would rather burn in hell than trust anything you say.” They are lying, they have to be.
“Okay, Daisy, look at me please.” I turn to Nathan and he smiles. “We‘ re not trying to hurt you, we just need to know everything that you think will help us get the Devils back for Evalyn.
“Not hurt me? Your guys hit me repeatedly, you have me tied to a fucking chair. So I’m sorry if I don’t believe you, but there is no way I am speaking and nothing you do or say will make me speak.” I won’t do it. If he is like my parents this will all be a lie to get me to give up information.
“Daisy please, I said we’re not trying to hurt you, but if you don’t talk, I have no choice but to.” I watch him whistle and hear the door opening, looking up I freeze.
Dean and Richard, I stare at them and then back to my parents. They wouldn’t.
“You’re not useful to me if you don’t speak Daisy. I’m listening, aren’t I? Your name is Daisy, not Melinda, I respect that. I respect that you wanted to wipe out that old person. If you can’t speak, then I can’t waste my time and energy on you.”
So much for being family, this just proves I’m nothing more than a tool for them to use to get what they want and after they get it, I have no doubt that they will just give me to Dean and Richard. I face him and smile.
Chapter 338
“Fuck you, fuck your whole family. Maybe if you were a real family I would have given you what you wanted. Truth is, you’re all nothing. but scum, using children and torturing your own family for your own greed.” I spit at him.
“The day the Devil’s took me I got a new family, a real family and there is nothing that you, or those two can do to make me speak. So fucking do your worst.” I refuse to go down crying or begging. I will fight through everything.
He moves too quickly and I feel the back of his hand hit my face, and my head flies to the side. I take in a deep breath to control myself before turning back and smiling at him.
“Make it harder won’t you Uncle Nathan? I played with D and he likes to make it hurt.” He looks at me sickened and steps back.
“All yours, she stays here though until I’m convinced nothing will make her speak. Do what you want with her.” He stands and turns my parents following, great so now I’m left with Dean and Richard. I go to speak and feel something hit me, the darkness dragging me under before I can even try and fight it.
