(Trigger Warning: This chapter includes talks about alcoholism, suicidal thoughts and child abuse/s****I assault) Lacey's POV

“U.uncle M.Mario's friend..he wanted you, Lace..you were only five and I was six but I s.stopped him..I protected you and he pu..punished

me"

“H..how?"

I asked not wanting to know the answer but I needed to know it

H.he r.r.raped me"

oh my god

"You were..you...you were what?"

"You heard me, Lace, I was raped”

"Oh my god”

Isaid barely above a shocked whisper

/ can't believe this

Luca was molested

Oh god, I think I'm gonna be sick

"Please say something, Lacey"

Luca's weak voice pleaded with me

"Lerm..I'm sorry, I'm just trying to process everything, Luc"

Isaid as I looked up at my brother who looked so broken and pitiful

"You were molested as a child?"

Chapter 108 - Luca's Demons -

I'ask him and he nods his head

“Yeah, I was"

Oh god

"I can't believe this..when? how long? does anyone else know about this?"

lask him and he shakes his head

“No one knows really, Lace except for our parents and Dylan"

What?

"Why didn't you tell anyone else? why didn't you tell me?"

1 ask feeling hurt

"We always told each other everything, Luc, why wouldn't you tell me about this?"

Task him and he rolls his eyes

"It's not exactly an easy subject to bring up, Lace"

Luca said with a sigh

“Besides, I already told you that 1 did this to protect you and keep you safe, 1 also didn't want you to know what had happened to me

because I didn't want you to feel guilty or feel bad and I for damn sure didn't want you to blame yourself for it which I knew you would've

done”

“No, wouldn't"

"Yes, you would, Lace"

Luca said with a smile as he cupped my face and gently caressed my cheek

"It's the type of person you are, kid, you feel guilty and blame yourself for things, even when it's not your fault and you're not to blame"

Ok, maybe I am like that

"You're a beautiful and kind-hearted girl, Lace, you're also innocent

Chapter 108 - Luca's Demons - fi

and you don't deserve to have any ugliness living inside of your head or in your heart, that's why I never told you about this because I

wanted you to remain innocent and pure and not have any darkness living inside of you like I do"

"But...can you tell me now?"

I'ask him and he closes his eyes while sighing

"Lace..."

“Please”

1 pleaded with him

“I don't wanna know all of the ins and outs, Luc... just wanna know enough so that I can understand what you've been through and what

you've had to suffer through for all of these years but most importantly, I wanna know so that I can fully understand why you're the man

that you are today because the Luca I've always known would never have hurt his family, especially his kids the way that you have"

Itell him and he nods his head while sighing

"Ok, fine but if Logan ever finds out about this, remember, it was your idea, do you hear me? I'm not looking to get my ass kicked by your

husband because you've ended up disturbed by my life story"

He says and I chuckle

Luca briefly smiled at my chuckle before grabbing hold of my hand and kissing the back of it

He then led us over to the kitchen table, so that we could sit and talk

We sat in silence for a few minutes as I waited patiently for Luca to tell me his story

Tknew I had to be gentle with him and be as patient as possible

Chapter 108 - Luca's Demons - 0S

because this wasn't going to be easy for him to do and he didn't need to be pressured into speaking

"Take your time, Luca, we've got all day to talk about this"

Itell him and he nods his head

“Before I tell you anything, I just wanna know if my kids are ok?" Luca asks me and I smile at him

"They're fine, I sent them back to my place with Logan and their nannies"

"Good" He sighs with relief

"But they almost weren't, Luca, I mean, poor Melissa was standing outside in the snow in just her pyjamas when we got here..the poor girl

was shivering like she'd been out there for a while"

Itell him and he looks at me with a horrified expression

ngeagit

He groans as he runs his hand through his hair

"I never wanted this life for them, Lace"

“I know you didn't"

1 say while gently gripping his hand to give him some comfort

“Ok”

Luca lets out a breath

"Like I said, I was six years old when everything started, at first..at first, I noticed uncle Mario's friend Nico looking at you weird, he wasn't

looking at you like how dad or gramps or our uncles looked at you, no..he was looking at you in a way that no grown man should ever look

at a kid"

Luca paused to control himself before continuing

“Nico, he was..he always found a way or a reason to touch you or pet

you like you were a little dog, he would also always try and get you to sit on his lap but thankfully, our dad would never allow it, he always

said a little girl shouldn't sit on a strangers lap and if he had it his way then you'd only ever sit on his or grandpa Dukes lap"

Thanks, dad

At least, I can be grateful that my dad didn't completely hate me enough to leave me at the mercy of a predator

“Nico also made a lot of disgusting and offhanded comments that many people laughed off or thought he was joking about but I didn't...1

may have only been six but I wasn't dumb and I knew that it wasn't right when a grown man talked about seeing a five-year-old little girl's

panties under her short dress even though your dress wasn't short, he was just a sick bastard..I didn't like how he was acting, Lace, I didn't

like it at all”

Luca sniffed before continuing

"When did his attention turn from me to you?"

“It was at grandpa Antonelli's birthday party”

Luca said whilst staring off into the distance

"We had gone to Sicily for a couple of weeks to celebrate his birthday and the big finale was his birthday party, it was black and gold

themed and mom had made you wear a gold dress, do you remember?"

He asked me and I nodded my head

"Yeah, mom and dad had insisted that I wore it to match the theme but I hated it"

"That's because the mesh on the underskirt made you itch"

He said and we both chuckled

"Anyway, during the party, mom took you to the toilet and when you

Chapter 108 - Luca's Demons - Ss

came out your skirt was stuck in your panties and it was showing your entire backside off to everyone who was in the hallway which was

only a couple of people but what none of you knew is that Nico was standing there watching you, he was rubbing his hand over his d**k

and he had a look on his face that at the time I didn't understand but now as an adult, I know it was lust...the dirty old bastard was lusting

after a little girl"

Luca said through gritted teeth as he shook his head

“I didn't like how he was looking at you, princess, so I blocked his view and I stopped him from looking at you...he didn't like what 1 did, in

fact, he was livid with me...he said I had to be punished"

“What did he do?"

I asked in a timid voice

Luca looked at me and my heart broke when I saw the broken look in

his eyes

"He dragged me into a spare room, he pulled down my pants and hit me several times on my bare ass..he said if my parents weren't gonna

discipline me then he would"

oh my god

“After that..things got worse, he raped me at any chance he got, he'd always offer to take me to the toilet or swimming or just make up

some bullshit bonding excuse so that we could be alone and he could touch me...he.he.he violated me in ways no child should ever be

violated and he

made me do things that no child should ever have to suffer through...he stripped me of my innocence each time we were alone and he

didn't care, he didn't care that he was destroying a young boys life, Lace"

Luca whimpered

"Iwas a little boy..I was a little boy and I didn't deserve this"

Chapter 108 - Luca's Demons -

Luca said as he burst into tears

“Oh, Luc"

Isaid as [wrapped my arms around my brother and rested my head on his shoulder as he rested his head against mine

"Nobody deserves this, especially not an innocent child"

Isay as I tried my hardest to comfort my distraught brother

“What erm..what did he make you do?"

1 ask nervously as I watch tears stream down Luca's face

I don't know what made me ask this question, all I know is that my mouth had already said it before I had even realised it

"Well, let's just say that for the longest time, I hated giving guys blow jobs because they'd always make me gag and not in a good way"

Huh

“What do you mean? do you..."

Tlooked up at Luca who was giving mea you know what/mean kind of look

oh my god

/ think I'm gonna be sick

"Lace...are you ok, Lacey?"

“I'm fine"

Isay in a faint voice whilst holding my stomach and trying to resist the urge to vomit

“Are you sure? you look really pale”

“I'm fine, 1just..oh god”

I'said as I jumped up and ran over to the sink, hurling my guts into it

Chapter 108 - Luca's Demons -

"s*4t, Lacey, are you ok?"

Tm ok”

1 say while panting as I swill my mouth out with some water and spit it out before taking a huge gulp of it

“I knew I shouldn't have told you about this"

Luca said with annoyance and regret in his tone whilst rubbing his hand up and down my back

"No, it's fine, it's just...”

My heart was racing as I looked up at my brother because I had a question that I needed to ask him but I was dreading hearing the answer

toit

"How long did this go on for?"

Task him and he looked away from me

"Look at me, Luca"

Isaid as I gripped his chin and forced him to look at me

"How long?"

I asked again

My brother looked hesitant to answer me but did anyway only his voice was so low, I couldn't make out what he said

“How long, Luc?"

Luca closed his eyes and sighed angrily

"Three years"

He growled and I gasped

"What?"

"You heard me, Lace...I said I was being sexually abused by Nico for three long, torturous years"
