Chapter 104 Let's Face Life

• Derek's POV:
• I grinned at the figures standing before me. They were so generous and even offered to take me home, being that I had lost my way. Of course, these men offered to escort me because they worked for my parents. I believed them. I was young and trusting. I believed they were there to protect and shield me from the harm ahead. I was terrified of what the future would bring. I couldn't even think of what to do with myself at the moment, because what could happen next, was unpredictable.
• It all happened too fast. The cars that zoomed past, the men yelling out words, the hands that gripped me. I fell to my knees at the sight of my parents, right in front of me lying lifeless. I tried as hard as I could to hold back my tears. My family was all I had left. And even when I said no, I was still forced to do what I didn't want to do. I felt hands grip my collar from behind and I held on to it to catch my breath, but the hand gripped it even tighter.
