Chapter||8

As I lay me down to sleep

I pray to Lord my soul to keep

If I should die before I wake

I pray to Lord my soul to take

Tuesday 17th July

"No please don't," Armani bellowed as the man continued to ram himself inside of her forcefully.

"Take this dick girl," he said murmuring in her ear. The unknown man pushed Armani's legs as wide as it could possibly go while he thrust his dick into her virgin vagina elongating it while burning it in the process considering it was dry.

"Please, NO, NOOOO," she continued to bellow shoving at his chest but he didn't seem to budge one bit or be fazed by it.

"SHUT UP," he called at the top of his voice covering her mouth with his dirty hand. She struggled to get out of his grasp but finally, she did the one thing she disgusted.

She pierced into his hand as vigorously as she could making blood gush out of his now wounded hand.

"HELLPPPP" she screeched while he still rammed himself inside of her not even caring of the blood that now plastered his dick.

"Armani"

"Armaniiii"

"Armani" Kam shouted as she shook Armani awake.

"I'm up, I'm up" she replied rubbing her eyes as she stared at Kam.

"Another nightmare huh?" Kam said shamefully as she shook her knowing it was all her fault to the reason why she was having nightmares.

"Yeah" she answered putting her head down with tears trickling down her face. "I th-thought it was real like i-it was happening all over again" she bawled her eyes out as Kam embraced her in a hug.

"Let it all out baby, he can't hurt you again, I'm trying to make sure of that" Kam reassured her in a hushed tone in her ear rocking her side to side as Armani continued to weep.

"I-I want to f-forget about it" she hiccuped grabbing onto Kam tighter closing her eyes even harder if that was even possible.

"I'm scared," she admitted grateful to get that off her chest.

Armani sobbed more into Kam's chest unceasingly, hands clutching at her gown. She held her in silence, swaying her slowly as her tears soaked her chest. A tiny lapse let her pull away, blinking lashes heavy with tears before she collapses again. The pain must have come in waves, minutes of sobbing broken apart by short pauses for recovering breaths, before hurling her back into the outstretched arms of her empathy.

"Don't be, I'm here, the guards are here, you are safe," Kam said after a while of silence trying to convince herself as well.

"What if he tries to come for us both, then what" Armani started to panic at the thought of the man coming back to get both her and kamiya.

"He's done it before and he's not afraid to do it again" if she worried anymore she was going to have another panic attack.

"He's smart Kam, you don't think he will find a way to us," She looked at Kam while Kam tried to focus her eyes on something other than her.

"You know I'm right" she confidently admitted

Silence

Kam didn't bother to reply because she simply didn't have an answer to that.

She knew Armani was right

"We can tell Kai-" Armani started before she got interrupted.

"Are you crazy, if he found out why he's doing this to us not only will he kill him but he will kill me, my relationship will be ruined" Kam whisper-shouted.

"it's not that bad," Armani protested

"I've only told you a little of the whole thing and for days you looked at me differently, so imagine the whole thing" Kam confesses to her.

"I thought that was the whole thing" she replies in a whisper.

"No and you are never going to know the whole thing because I don't even want you involved" she snapped unintentionally.

"I get that but from what you have told me, you need to tell someone and now," Armani voiced sternly to Kam giving her the look.

"I can't you just don't get it," she pulled away from her keeping distance between the two.

"It's my secret and I'm taking it to the grave," she declared wiping at her tear-stained eyes.

"Kairo will understand," Armani bleakly said.

"You don't know Kairo the way I do, yes he's your cousin but you don't know him as I do," she sobbed as Armani plainly stared at her with only tears at the brim of her eyes.

"I can't deal with this anymore knowing he's out there freely not having a care in the world while I sit up here having nightmares about his raping me multiple times," she shouted towards the end becoming real agitated with the way Kam is handling the situation.

"Look what he's done to you, to us, how many times has he bruised you up, you even have a scar on leg and arm because of HIM," she grabbed at Kam's arm showing her what he has done to her.

"Can you keep your voice down they are still sleeping," was all Kam uttered not even acknowledging anything else Armani said or showed resulting in her rolling her eyes.

"Tell Kairo by the end of the week or I will," Armani commented while she got comfortable back in her white silk bed facing her cream coloured wall that was plastered with her name in cursive sparkles.

"You seriously going to tell him?" Kam said towards her back.

"Yes I'm tired of hiding this, too many women hide the fact they were raped because they are scared, they hide it because they don't want to face it again, but I'm not," she voiced.

"I want to tell the whole world and I don't care who it hurts. I want that bastard in prison where he belongs"

"I get that you do, don't you think I want to as well but he is the devil, he will win the case," Kam expresses.

"I DON'T CARE, I WANT TO BE HEARD, I'm tired of living in the dark" she went from being on a rampage to heavy breathing through her nostrils in the space of a minute. She was tired of the conversation they were having and she simply just wanted to go to bed. The creaking of the door made the two snap their heads towards that direction as they saw Kairo appear his head in between the door and the wall.

"Hey KK"

"Hey, What's all this shouting for?" He questioned becoming more known into the room, with one hand in his basketball pocket.

"Nothing we just talkin," Kam sweetly said showcasing her pearly white teeth, while Armani just blankly looked upon him letting Kam do all the talking.

"Just talking," he cocked his head to the side with his hands on either side of his body.

"Yeah just talkin babe, why you up anyway," she questioned trying to flip the subject.

"I woke up because Liyah was crying and then I heard shouting coming from here, so I came to see wassup with y'all," he answered leaning against the wall.

"Oh we having a conversation that's all" Armani spoke.

"You been crying?" He observed her face and looked upon her tear-stained face.

"Just yawned that's all," she lied.

"Come let's go back to bed baby," Kam said as she got up off Armani's bed walking towards where Kairo stood.

"Goodnight Lil grinch," Kairo spoke to Armani who laid comfortably still in her bed.

"Goodnight stinky," she teased saying the other nickname she made up for him.

"That was one time," he laughed, remembering the reason to why she called him that, he and Kam made their way out her room going towards their own with her arms wrapped around her waist.

"You alright babe?" Kairo looked down at her giving her a peck on the forehead as she leaned her head on his broad shoulders.

"Yeah, I'm a fine baby" she weakly smiled as they entered their bedroom.

Getting into bed Kam cuddled into Kairo's chest holding onto him never wanting him to let go. She knew she had to tell Kairo about her past someday, but she was hoping to postpone it as far as she possibly could but with Armani now in the equation she had to say something, knowing he is going to be even more pissed.

Her past was something she regretted doing, she was young and naive and would do anything for attention. Dashawn didn't even know about her past because that's how secretive she was about no one finding out. If this came out everyone was going to look at her differently and she wasn't sure if she could handle that excruciating pain.

"I wanna have another baby," Kairo spoke after a while of silence.

"Why you say it out of the blue all of a sudden," she replied shocked by his statement.

"I've had this on my mind for a while and Liyah needs a sibling to play with and I need my Lil nigga," Kam straight-faced him.

"My son will not be called a nigga boy" he laughed as she hit his chest softly

"I'm serious babe, I want a mini-me running around," he kissed her lips softly making his way to her neck.

"You don't u-uh think we should mm-mhh wait a bit longeeer" she questioned half moaning as he stuck a finger into her vagina.

"Babyyy pl-pleasee" She stuttered as he curled his 2 fingers that he had in her which made her go even more ballistic and all her juices started flowing and trickled down her legs.

———

The couple now laid in bed, after having rounds of sex in the bed, with Kam laying on Kairo's chest listening to his heartbeat. He had one of his muscular arms around her waist rubbing up and down ever so often on her side, with the other one placed behind his head giving his support.

"I love you baby and don't ever forget that," Kam said staring deeply into his eyes with pure love and a glimpse of fear. Fear of him not loving her the same anymore after this week. He caught the glimpse of fear in her eyes but it was gone within a blink.

"I love you too baby," he kissed her passionately gripping her waist in the process. They got interrupted with a knock on the door as Armani and Aaliyah's bodies came insight. Armani looked past Kam and only acknowledge Kairo while Kam eyed her with no emotion evident on her face.

"Hey K," she spoke as she put Aaliyah down on the bed so she could go to her parents.

"Hey Lil bit" he began to tickle Aaliyah as her laugh filled their bedroom echoing off the white walls that were painted in picture frames of family.

"I'm finna go to Destiny's house," she quickly stared before exiting out the room, without waiting for a response.

"You know what's wrong with her?" Kairo asked Kam but all she did was simply shrug her shoulders and continue on playing with Aaliyah. Kairo wondered what was going on between the two because just yesterday they were friendly and happy with each other and now they didn't even acknowledge the other's presence. Kairo was going to find out what is happening and try to fix it, the best way he could.

"Okay then," he mumbled as they were left in awkward silence, Aaliyah moving her hands as if it was running up and down Kam's leg.

"Hey babe," Ryan spoke to Armani as he kissed her lips upon her arrival in his car.

"Hey baby, how was your day?" She questioned putting on her seat belt as he pulled off out Destiny and Deshawn's driveway.

"It was good what about you?" He replied as he grabbed at her hand while still holding onto the wheel.

"Mine was good, thanks," she smiled happily, This was the happiest she had ever been in a while, she couldn't thank Ryan enough for being in her life.

Ryan is oblivious about her past, Armani contemplated with herself multiple times if telling Ryan would be a good thing but she didn't want to jeopardise what they had going on.

"Where you want to go?" He questioned as he

"Let's go Benny's, then we can go visit Kain," she replied talking about a soul food restaurant her and her grandmother loved to go.

"Whatever you wanna do baby," he softly spoke bringing his attention back to the road.

They finally made it to the restaurant and was now seated at a booth.

"You still haven't told me what university you going to" He spoke as he looked at the menu contemplating on what to choose.

"I got accepted it all the ones I applied for and even some scholarships but I still don't know what one to pick. I don't want it to be too far from you" She had a battle with herself about what university she was going to attend because she and Ryan were now a couple and she didn't really want to do a long-distance relationship. Ryan attended UCLA and Armani was thinking about picking that as well so she was close to Ryan, she wouldn't tell him that because he would try and change her mind about she should do what her heart desires.

"Wherever you go just know I gotcha," he smiled grabbing her hand caressing it.

"Aww thank you, baby, now gimme kissy," She puckered up her lips as he leaned across the booth and planted his lips on hers. Armani felt butterflies in her stomach and it was a feeling she felt every time she kissed him.

"You kn-" Ryan got interrupted by a group of boys who had come up to their table.

"Long time no see, Blizz" one of the boys, Gunna, who was standing about 6'2 with tattoos all over his face and waves swimming on his hair, said as he leaned against the booth beside Armani.

"Yeah, wish it could've been longer," He mumbled the last part under his breath.

"What y'all here for?" He questioned them.

"We came to see about our boy," Another boy who had dark brown curly hair spoke as he decided to take a seat beside Armani as she looked at Ryan telling him to get them out of her face before she cussed them out.

"I'm busy right now, hit me up later, Jay," Ryan spoke keeping his gaze on the boy sitting next to Armani.

"But last time you said that and we ain't hear from you since, so we want something new, remember the deal," The boy continued to speak as he inches closer towards Armani.

"I don't have anything for y'all," Ryan replied

"Oh but you do," The boy who stood leaning on the booth said as he eyed Armani as she picked up her food. Ryan caught on to what he was referring to and shook his head quickly objectifying.

"No," he said sternly.

"Why you know we always want knew people," he asked him as his crew swarmed the table even more now giving Ryan a glare and some giving Armani lustful eyes.

"Don't, I'll give you something-" Ryan got interrupted by Armani's voice

"What are they talking about," her angelic voice says as she stared at Ryan with confusion laced on her light complexion.

"Nothing you need to worry about baby," he grabbed at her hand but she swiftly snatched it back knowing he was being untruthful.

"Let's talk outside," Ryan says ignoring the death glare he's receiving from Armani waving his hand in a Come here motion to the boys. They followed in a suit but the guy sitting next to Armani, Jay stayed put.

"I'll give something else," Ryan hissed as they stood outside.

"We want her," Gunna said looking back to Armani with a grin coated on his face.

"I said no, come on man ain't we bros," he persuaded them.

"Us being bros went out the door a long time ago, and you know that," Another boy who had a bit of extra meat on him said making himself more noticeable.

"No one was talking to your fat ass," Ryan snapped unexpectedly.

"Who the fuck you talkin to?" Gunna questioned sticking up for his friend.

"Look listen I'll give you anything but her," he bargained.

"Nah nigga we want her and we want her now," The fat dude said as he walked up on Ryan.

"Get your fat ass out my face for real dawg," Ryan said agitated with the whole situation.

"You ain't gonna do nothing and when we get our hands on that dime piece inside she not gon want you anymore," The fat guy egged on as all his friends laughed with him at Ryan. Without thinking Ryan punched the guy in the face which ultimately resulted in the crew jumping Ryan. The 6 of them jumped Ryan in the middle of the street as if it was nothing as people started surrounding them being nosey. Seeing the commotion Armani jumped out of her seat pushing Jay out the way in the process to see what was happening. Getting closer and closer to the scene she noticed it was Ryan getting jumped as she saw him swinging his arms and legs in every position he could but it was no use compared to all of them.

Crying Armani screamed for them to stop and for someone to help him but she screamed went undetected. She ran swinging her arms in each direction trying to pull the boys of them but it was no use. She tried her best to get them to stop as she grabbed one by the hair but it seemed as if he was unfazed by it. She soon felt herself being lifted up by her waist by a strong Male. She felt herself being dragged to the car by the unknown male as she screamed for help but no one bothered to do anything.

The boys had finally stopped jumping Ryan as they ran towards the SUV they came in. Ryan saw what was happening as he struggled to get up but failed tremendously as he collapsed. Armani continued to scream for Ryan as more tears welled up in her eyes knowing what was happening to her.

"RYAN, RYAN," she shouted as much as she could but instead it came out as faint due to her raspy voice.

Ryan saw Jay, who picked up Armani, shove her forcefully into the back of the SUV as the drove away.

"ARMANI" he shouted but it was no use as they had already driven off down the road.

He broke down in the middle of the street not caring that all these people were watching him, he knew what his old crew was cable of and knew what they would do to a beautiful girl like Armani. Not being able to manage the loss of blood he blacked out in the street as an old woman had just come out of her house and saw the young boy drop, called the ambulance immediately. After 10 minutes the ambulance had finally arrived and was now taking Ryan to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Armani broke down and sobbed like a child as she was in the SUV taking them to their warehouse.

"Shut the fuck up bitch" One of the boys shouted as he punched her in her right arm with aggression, causing her to grab onto it as she rocked back and forth, as it was starting to form a bruise.

"Next time it won't be that soft, now shut it bitch" he spoke to her with venom laced in his voice as she silently whimpered.

To Armani, it felt like hours until they reached their destination but in actuality, it had only been 40 minutes. The SUV suddenly stopped and Armani had woken up by the boy who punched her, who was also sitting next to her with him dragging her out the car not even caring if she was hurting. He gripped her arm with tightness as he yanked her towards the warehouse. The beaming of the sun didn't make it any better for Armani as she squinted her eyes trying to adjust to the brightness.

Her feet brushed against the sandy concrete as she carried on getting dragged towards the metallic entrance door which opened with ease just as the stepped door onto the steps of the warehouse.

"Take her to the basement," Gunna ordered to one of the guards as he headed towards his fathers' office.

Gunna knocked on the door and wanted for his fathers' response to be let in.

"You may enter,"  His father spoke as he sat back in the brown recliner chair, smoking on a cigar. Gunna entered the office and sat in one of the wooden chairs that was placed in front of the desk. They sat in silence for a while before his father decided to make a comment. "Mi hope di reason yuh come here was to tell mi you ave di gurl" his father spoke in his thick Jamaican accent as he took a puff.

"Yes, we have the gurl father," Gunna replied as he sat back in the seat.

It was awkward silence from there, Gunna scrolling through his phone while his father looked through some files that laid on his desk.

"Bossman we have her ready," A worker said as he stood behind the closed door on the opposite side.

"Tank yuh, I'm coming," he replied as he put his files in his draw before locking it with his fingerprint. He and Gunna both stood up as they made their way towards the basement, where Armani sat on the floor with a chain on her wrist connected to the metal in the middle of the room. She laid there sniffling but as soon as they entered all that went away and suddenly she had all those tears disappeared. She didn't want them to see her crying but her grandfather always told her that crying when not needed was a sign of weakness.

"Hey pretty gurl," He spoke as he walked towards Armani causing her to inch back as far as the chains would let her.

"Nowhere to run," Gunna grinned as he leaned on the wall.

"You, YOU it was you," Armani shouted as she stared at Gunna's father.

"Yuh memba mi, ow thoughtful," he teased as he clasped his dark complexion hands.

"You piece of shit, don't you think you've caused enough pain for me already," She grilled, thinking back to all of those memories.

"Di games ave only begun, baby," he blew her a kiss as Gunna looked upon him with a sceptic look.

"What do you want," She whispered but firmly with her head down.

"Not necessarily from you but the people around you" Gunna replied now engaging in the conversation.

"That has nothing to do with me," she brought her head up to look at them as they stared at her.

"It does, now wi ave something they wan," Gunna's father grinned in satisfaction as he thought of what he was going to do with the young lady.

"You had sex before?" He asked after a moment of silence, smiling at what he was about to do next.

"You know the answer" she tilted her head to the side hoping it wasn't about to happen to her again.

"Haven't you caused me enough pain," She spoke shakily.

"You maybe, but not to your family or your little boyfriend," Gunna spoke making his way towards them to get a better view of her. Armani stayed silent as she saw Gunna get one of the wooden chairs that sat in the middle of the room and bring it closer towards her, later taking a seat on it.

"You're a very pretty lady, you know," he rhetorically asked as he brought his hand to brush it against her face. She flinched as she felt his crusty hands touch her acne-free skin, he then tightened how to hold against her face causing her to wince but she refused to break even though she was beyond scared. Gunna's father knew what his son was about to do, so he thought now was the best time to get out of here and finish off his business since Gunna has it under control.

"Just let me go please," she spoke after he stared at her for a bit too long.

"All the things I could do to you," he pulled at her hair that was in braids, bringing her head closer to his body.

"Get on your knees," He demanded standing up from out of his chair and to push it backwards. Shaking her head forcefully she started to let the worker works come down her face.

"No, no please," she begged as he unbuckled his black Balmain jeans that sagged under his butt.

"Do as I say or it could be a lot worse," he said as his sicked swung low in front of Armani's face.

"Plea-" Her pleading stopped as Gunna's hand connected to her face making it go to the left slightly.

"Say something again and it will be worse, now suck this dick," he said while shoving his dick on her mouth.

Armani had never done this before but she heard things about it, so she just swirled her tongue around. She felt disgusted with herself as she heard Gunna grunt and moan. An idea popped up in her head but before she contemplated with herself to see if it was a bad idea she just did it.

She bit his dick.

She didn't bite his dick hard but enough for him to shriek and take his dick out her mouth. She smiled in satisfaction with what she had done, but the consequences hadn't functioned in her head yet.

"You fucking bitch, who the hell bits dick," he scrunched his face as he looked upon her.

"Since you don't know how to suck dick properly, you just gone take this dick," he smirked as he saw the frightened look on her face.

"W-What," She stuttered as he sealed the gap between them. She started to squirm as he touched her wanting to remove her clothes.

"Move and it will be harder than it is already," he threatened as he roughly took off her black leggings. He now began to take off her lace blue panties smirking to himself.

"You got sexy for me I see," without question, he shoved his dick into her dry Vagina with a groan escaping his mouth.

Armani whimpered as she felt the pain and burning sensation between her thighs as Gunna continued thrusting in her as if it was nothing. Blood started to seep through her vagina because of the force of Gunna thrust.

"Take this dick girl" he moaned still going at it as Armani's cries for help went unanswered.

"Please I can't take it," she begged as Gunna took his but inside of her.

"Well get used to it, that was only round one," he smiled in satisfaction as he entered his dick in her again.

After awhile Armani couldn't take it anymore and her eyes started rolling to the back of her head.

"It's that good huh," Gunna misinterpreted her eye-rolling thinking she was liking it. Soon Armani started shaking and Gunna stupidity thought she was about to come until his father ran into the room shouting at Gunna for his stupidity.

"Yuh don't si she ah ave a seizure," he spoke as ran towards her quickly holding her tongue so she wouldn't choke on it as he shouted at Gunna to go call their private doctors.
