•Chapter 25
≈Miami, FL...
(2:53 p.m)
"Calm down, baby girl. It's gon' be alright. You're safe with me." He said nodding his head, causing Acacia to frown wondering what was wrong with him. Safe ? Does he think I'm stupid ?
She felt everything, but safe in his presence. He was a delusional man and needed serious help according to her opinion. And the way he was staring at her was making her feel so uncomfortable. She wanted to go and be with her REAL family and not him. She didn't even know who he was. Even if it was true that he was her father, well he wasn't in her mind. If he was really her father, he would've been in her life since the beginning, he would've welcomed her into the world, he would've raised her and her, he would've given her loved like her mother, he would've protected her, he would've wiped the tears away after a nightmare and so much more, but all he had ever done was the entire contrary. He had never been there for her neither her brother. If he was really her father, he wouldn't have kidnapped her.
"I want my mother." She said trying to hold the tears. It was hard, but she didn't want him to see her weak. I have to be strong.
His face expression changed and he was angry now, "Don't talk 'bout that witch ! You needa me not her. You have to be with me. If she thought that she was gon' win that war, she thought wrong."
She couldn't understand what he was saying. It was making non-sense, "A war ? What are you talking about ? "
Then his marvelous smile appeared again, "See...Ten years ago, your dear mumma decided to be a bitch and she kept my children away from me. Because of her, I couldn't have been a father. Because of her, we couldn't be all together, a happy family. She was so selfish and still is today and she ruined everything. It's her fault if you're unhappy today. And that new man she's fucking with, he ain't shit ! " He lied as the young girl shook her head.
"He should learn how to speak. He ain't ? What's that ? That's not a word. He should've said he isn't." She mumbled under her breath, then rolled her eyes.
Cameron heard the sound coming from her mouth, but couldn't tell exactly what she just said, "Do you have something to say ? "
She nodded her head, "Yes ! Kalvin is a good person ! At least with him, we have fun ! And his family is really nice ! " She defended him smirking at her 'father'.
He greeted his teeth getting frustrated, "I'm your father ! " He raised his voice.
She shook her head, "No ! You ain't. Kalvin entered in our lives like...two months ago and he has been more a father figure to us than you had ever been ! Well, it was tough in the beginning, but now we're getting along and I hope mummy and him will date one day ! You ain't shit ! " He was seriously starting irritating her. She was tired to talk with him. She wanted to go back home.
Cameron's anger reached another level after she told him that. He couldn't accept it. Another man had stolen his family away from him. His woman and his children.
"SHUT UP ! "
"LET ME GO ! "
And then one thing she had never expected happened. Cam lifted his hand and in less than ten seconds, the back of his right hand came in contact with her soft and little cheek. Once she received the hit, it was like the world stopped moving around her instantly. She couldn't believe it. Her grandfather always told her that she should never let any man put his hands on her. She was very young and didn't really get it at first, but it stayed in her mind somewhat. He also told her that a man who beats a woman is weak little boy, so don't be sacred to fight back.
But how could she do it ? How could she fight back ? She was a kid and he was a man. She had her hands and feet tied down and him was free to move. She was frightened and he was completely insane. How was she supposed to fight back ?
She was shocked, mad, distraught and sad. Her emotions was a huge mix she couldn't control at this moment. Suddenly, a waterfall started coming from both of her eyes. She couldn't breath normally as her cries were becoming heavier.
"Please, let me go. I want my mummy. Please." She cried hysterically.
"Shut the fuck up ! " He said and then stormed out of the room she was in. The walls were grey and there was no furniture, except the little bed behind her and the chair she was sat on. She couldn't see outside, since there was any window either. She didn't know where she was at, an unknown man who called himself her father hit her, she was cold, hungry and thirsty. It was the worst day of her life.
Lord, please, please, please, save me. I need you right now. Lead my family to me, help them to find me, please. And give me strength too, please. And don't let him hurt me more, please. I'm begging you right now, Lord, please help me. Amen, She prayed in her mind still crying. She was in panic and needed someone to come and to get her out of there.
"Help..."

(5:05 p.m)
She opened her eyes slowly waking up and then looked around her. She was still in that empty room. She didn't even have realized that she fell asleep. She was starving now and her throat was as dry as the Sahara. She felt so weak. It was like she was almost dead. She couldn't believe that she was living that hard experience at only ten years old.
All of sudden, the door opened rudely. She startled when it hit the wall. She immediately began to shake. Why was he going to do to her now ? Her heart was beating really fast in her chest, like it was running a marathon. It started becoming less easy to breath. Tears were running on her cheeks again.
"Stop all that, before I decided to slap you again ! " He barked at her and she calmed down not wanting to be in trouble with him, "Here some food." He dropped a packet of Oreos before her and then untied her hands. It was a struggle, but she got them and once she had it in her hands, she didn't waste time to rip the packet and then she ate. She was done with it in less than ten minutes. And she wanted more, but was scared for life to ask.
"Here some water." He gave her a bottle. She drank it so quickly, it even amazed Cameron. When she was done eating, he tied her wrists together again and as he was about to walk out, someone appeared at the door.
"Baby, what do y-" She stopped talking once she saw Acacia.
"Brenda, go somewhere else ! " He yelled at her ready to beat her ass if she wasn't going to obey to him.
Brenda's eyes travelled from her abusing boyfriend to the little girl confused, "Wh-wha-what are you doing ? Wh-who is it ? What's going on ? " She questioned coming in the room and going towards Acacia, but then Cam grabbed her arm violently and threw her on the floor.
"What I said bitch ?! Get out of here before I kill you ! "
The twenty-six years old woman nodded her head quickly, got up and ran out of the room. She was regretting to not help the little girl, but she knew what her boyfriend was capable of. He could be really dangerous and she couldn't have more bruises on her body. She was still sore due to the kicks she received three days ago. She didn't want to be punished once again.
She climbed the stairs and went in the kitchen to get the dinner ready for him. That's what she had to do. As she was getting the ingredients out, she couldn't get the young girl's terrified eyes out of her mind.
"What should I do ? "
