Damien was crushed. His heart hurt when he looked into her eyes. The light in her eyes that he used to admire was gone. This wasn't the girl he fell in love with ten years ago. This was someone else.
And those bruises...
His blood boiled at the sight of them. He needed to know what happened to her. Who hurt her so bad that made her act like she was an empty shell. He won't let them get away with it. He tried to make her tell him everything, but she wouldn't break. She was so f*****g stubborn. Damien smiled to himself. At least that part of her never changed. She was his headstrong girl, and he wouldn't want to change it for the world.
Damien couldn't help but wonder. Did Addie willingly go into this? Or was she one of the girls indentured to gangs to pay off a male relative's debt? Adel
