PIECES FROM THE PAST

[ TRIGGER WARNING ] [ Parts In Braces Are The Flashbacks. ]

-SAGE-

[ " Aaaahhh." My lungs constricted as another scream escaped my lips.

My breath hitched, pain overtaking my senses as I fought to decide if I wanted to breathe or scream in pain.

"  Stop struggling, wild b*tch." the man on top of me growled, twisting my nipple painfully.

" Ple-please." My voice came out cracked in pain.

" What was that? Did I hear fuck me harder?" he laughed, kneading my breasts.

I threw my head back, tears seeping through my eyes as I felt the car rocking back and forth. The pain wasn't there anymore, I couldn't feel it to the extent it was yesterday. It was just his skin against mine, rubbing it harshly— that was all I could feel.

I was numb, I knew the pain will be back when the last men in the line will be satisfied but yet I wanted this to be over soon.

" That's enough, your fifteen minutes are over."

The car door was slammed open as Sean's voice came in, the man on top of me groaned.

" But she's so good." the man groaned.

" I know but there are others waiting to get their turn," Sean replied harshly before I felt the weight on top of me pulled away.

I took deep breaths, relieved of the weight being lifted from my body. The next moment, I felt Sean crawl on top of me, a wicked smile on his face.

" Awww, my baby. Don't cry, you made me so much money today." he smiled, stroking my cheeks.

" Please, Sean," I whispered, even though I knew he enjoyed this, I just wanted this to be over.

" Oh no baby, there are still so many men waiting in the line. You are so beautiful that they can't resist," he smirked when I felt his fingers sink into my torn v*gina.

" Sean." I sobbed, rubbing my heels on the car seat.

" Yes, baby." I pinched my eyes shut when he pushed his entire wrist in, pain buzzed through my body like electricity-paralyzing my bones and muscles.

" Ss-stop." I struggled to breathe as he opened and closed his fist inside me.

" Sean, what are you doing?" Ben peeked in making Sean groan.

" Can't I have a moment with my girl?" Sean snapped, touching my breasts.

" I told you to send these men away but why are they still here?" Ben asked making Sean groan.

" Because they're ready to give me the amount I ask for," Sean said, as I whimpered silently closing my eyes again.

" Sean, she got more than thirty men since the morning, the girl is tired and injured. She's bleeding and puking constantly, something must have broken inside her." Ben's words shook me.

My eyes flew open, crashing against Sean's wicked ones as my mind ran over the thousand permanent damages they've probably done to my body.

" We can't fix whatever has broken now and she isn't our guest, she's our prisoner. We'll earn money from her as long as this beautiful body can take and then we'll just get rid of her." Sean shrugged, kneading my breasts.

" L-let me gg-go?" I whispered, feeling a pinch of hope seep into me.

" No darling, we'll kill you. You'll serve us till your last breath," he smirked.

" Sean, that's enough. Get off her, no one will want her anymore if you keep on damaging her. You did enough last night." Ben snapped, pulling Sean making him growl.

" Fine, just give me a minute," Sean growled, pulling his wrist out of me.

I whimpered, lifting my hips up a little at the pain. Sean rubbed my torn folds slowly, making the numbed pain rise up before he got off me.

" Next," he yelled.

I closed my legs, feeling pain run through my veins when the door was slammed shut. A man smiled down at me before he picked my body up, slamming me down on the seat on my face.

" Cutt ass, huh." His voice rang into my ears with the unbuckling of his belt.

I sobbed, digging my face into the seat more. Every muscle in my body was aching, even a single twitch sent thousands of painful currents throughout my body. ]

" No. No. No. Please, no." My body shot up as I screamed in horror.

" Sage."

" No, please. Please let me go. Please it hurts a lot." I screamed, hugging my trembling body.

" Sage, calm down. Sage."

" Please." I wailed when I felt my body pinned down again.

Opening my heavy eyes, they came in contact with Enrique's grey ones. I felt happiness gush into my veins at the sight of Enrique.

I knew it. I knew he will come and save me from these monsters.

I leaped up, wrapping my arms around him, crying pathetically.

" I k-knew you'd come," I say, looking up at his dark eyes.

" Sage," he whispers, caressing my cheeks.

" Please take me away. Take me away, Enrique. They're here. They'll hurt me." I jumped into his lap, pushing myself against his warm body.

" Who will hurt you, baby?" he whispers, rubbing my back.

" Them." I looked back but . . . there wasn't anyone.

It was all empty. Just whitewashed hospital walls and the beeping of the machine floating in the atmosphere. No foul smell of blood, sweat, semen, or dr*gs. There wasn't any noise of men screaming at each other or the car rocking.

" They wa-were here," I whispered, running my gaze through the room.

" There isn't anyone, Sage. Come on, lay down," he whispers, pushing me down on the bed.

" No. No, they'll come back." my body shots up from the bed as I cling onto him again.

" Sage Martinez?" I screamed, hugging Enrique when the door opened.

" Sage, calm down. It's just a nurse." Enrique rubbed my back, putting me back on the bed.

A woman in a white outfit walked in with a tray in her hand, she gave a bored look before picking up a syringe from the tray.

Was that for me? She is going to do that? No. No. Oh no. Please no.

" N-no." I grabbed Enrique's hand, my eyes are not ready to leave the sight of the syringe in her hand.

" Sage, you need that injection. " Enrique mutters, stroking my cheek.

" No. I don't want it." I screamed, trying to run out of the bed.

Enrique pulled me back, placing me back on the bed. I thrashed in his hold, kicking him when he pins me down on the bed.

" Sage, she's doing it for you." he snapped.

" I don't want it, please. Please, Enrique, don't do this. I love you so much." I screamed, thrashing in his grip.

" Do it." he turned to the nurse making me scream my lungs out.

" I don't want it. Let go. Let go." I thrashed, kicking my legs aimlessly.

Enrique pushed my body down, getting on top of me when I felt the nurse rub a piece of cotton on my forearm.

" No. Let me go. Please." I yelled, scratching Enrique's neck.

" Wh-The fuck is going on here?"

Shawn's voice boomed in the room before the door was slammed open.

" Let go," I yell, sobbing profusely.

Enrique was pushed off me immediately as Shawn pulled me up, wrapping his arms around me. I felt my trembling body relax in Shawn's hold as I clung to him.

" What the fuck were you doing?" Shawn screamed.

" The nurse was doing her job," Enrique growled.

Shawn placed me on the bed, sitting beside me as he tucked my hair and wiped my sweaty face. I wrapped my arms around him, hiding my face in his chest as Shawn rubbed my back. I could feel my pounding heart relax at Shawn's familiar scent.

" She doesn't like injections, Enrique. How could you force her when I'm sure she clearly didn't want it." Elliot yelled.

" She is a child, Elliot. You can't listen to her and not get her injected when she needs it." Enrique growled.

" She isn't a child, she can decide for herself. Sage doesn't like injections means she doesn't and everyone should respect her choices. She was drugged forcefully for so many days which gave her this fear of syringes. Stop acting as if you know everything about her, you fled years ago when she needed you, and now, she isn't your Sage anymore." Elliot said as Enrique fell quiet.

I looked up at Elliot, his words sending nostalgic feelings all over me.

Fled? Years ago?

" I can't marry you now. You're broken and used. I'm leaving."

" Sage. Sage." Shawn shook me gently.

" He left?" a cracked whisper escaped my lips.

" He did." Shawn nodded, placing my head on his chest as he rubbed my back.

" This. . . this can't be possible," Enrique whispered, looking at me.

I looked away from him, clutching onto Shawn's shirt tightly. He left me when I needed him the most and I what was I thinking now.

" Why are you here? Isn't it specifically mentioned that Sage Martinez can't take injections? Get us a doctor before you lose your job." Shawn growled at the nurse.

" Sage, are you fine?" he whispers after a few minutes.

I nod, rubbing my nose on his shirt.

" We'll go home after this, okay?" he whispers rubbing my back.

" Where's Hades?" I asked, feeling panic rise in me again.

Hades is going to be so disappointed. He will hate me for creating chaos. He will leave me just like Enrique did. Father will lose his money and then he will send me to a brothel.

No! I have to apologize to Hades. I can't let that happen.

" Hey. Hey, calm down. He is gone." Shawn mumbled, wiping my tears.

" Gone?" I whispered feeling more tears run down my cheeks.

He left. Father will be so furious.

" No, I mean he has gone home and will be back soon. He didn't want to go but you didn't want him here so I had to forcefully send him." Shawn mumbles, kissing my forehead.

" Shawn." I stifled a sob.

" Yes, baby?"

" They won't be back, right?" My heart was pounding at even the thought of it.

I will willingly die a thousand times than being in that situation ever again.

" No, they won't. I promise you they won't ever touch you again." Shawn engulfed me in a hug.

" Okay, enough of crying. I'll go talk to the doctor and get you discharged. Your future in-laws are throwing a party tonight." Elliot winks at me, playfully.

" Party?" I pinched my eyebrows in confusion.

" Yup and that maniac mob boss will probably shoot everyone if you aren't there so dry those tears up and get ready." Shawn chuckled, wiping my cheeks.

" Aren't they staying at the hotel?" Enrique scoffed.

I glanced at him, he was sitting on the couch with a grim expression on his face.

" They have a huge farmhouse here. Can you believe that?" Shawn shook his head at his own words.

I'm going to meet Hades tonight. What am I going to say to him? How will I apologize for today? What will he think of me? What if they're holding this party to break this marriage off? I can't let that happen. I'll probably have to kill myself if they break the marriage before my father finds me.
