The Lost Mafia Princess

Chapter 21

EVELYN'S POV

[Flashback (trigger warning)]

I am hiding from Jack in my closet at the moment. He came home extremely drunk and high today. The moment he entered inside, I knew today I was going to get a good beating and I shouldn't do anything to increase it, but my stupid legs didn't think and before I knew, I was inside my cupboard, hiding from him.

I know this will make him more angry and he would beat me harder, but I cannot take it back now. What's done is done. I am terrified to go out, but I know it won't be good if I keep up this game of hide-n-seek for long. I have to give up soon and go out before he gets even more angry, or else I am definitely dead today.

"W-where is my pretty little sluttt??" he slurred.

I don't like it when he calls me that. I am not a slut, I am just 12 years old for god's sake. But he likes degrading me and calling me all these derogatory names. He says, it is to show me my place.

"Youu betterrr come outt right nowww, little girllll. Orrr, your daddy willll get maddd. You don't want that, do youuuu??" he warned slurring.

"You don't want yourrr punishment to get any biggerrr, righttt??" he added.

I stayed quiet, just sitting in my cupboard, rocking my small body back and forth, trying to calm myself.

"Fineee, I won't punish youuuu. Come out nowwww!!" he negotiated still slurring on his words.

I knew he was lying, but I accidentally moved a little and a loud creak was heard from under me where my cupboard was broken.

Stupid, stupid cupboard...

I was continuously hoping he did not hear it, but who am I kidding? I do not have such a good luck.

He did hear it and was now chuckling.

"Found yaaa!!" he mocked.

The next thing I know, the cupboard doors are opened and I am on the ground. Just then, as if Jack wasn't enough, Amanda entered my room and smirked when she saw me lying on the floor.

"Oh, so you finally found her. Good. We will teach her how disrespectful it is to hide from your own parents today." she chimed with a dangerous glint in her eyes.

With that, they started pulling me downstairs into the living room while I was thrashing to get away from them.

When we reached, Jack slapped me hard which made me lose my footing and I landed on the floor with a split lip. With that, they both started punching, kicking and beating me mercilessly.

After about an hour of continuous beating, they finally stopped and when I thought that they were done, Jack started removing his belt. I immediately knew what was coming and I instantly shuffled backwards. But, it was of no use.

Amanda got hold of me and put pressure on my back, making me bend with my head on the floor and my back exposed to them. After that, she ripped off my top and Jack started thrashing me with his belt on my back.

He had done this a lot of times before and he always stopped after 10-15 minutes, but today he did not stop and kept hitting me with his belt for half an hour.

At the end of it, my back was completely bloody and some skin had also come off due to the belt's harsh impact. I could see dots dancing around me eyes and I knew I was going to faint soon. With one more hit, I welcomed the darkness and fainted.
