All Chapters of Truly Yours: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Once done, we made our way inside the mall and started shopping. I had never gone shopping before, so I was pretty nervous. "So where do you want to go first, baby?" Kenny asked, back to his happy self.I looked at him nervously and said, "I don't know; I've never been shopping before." I whispered the last part, hoping they didn't hear me – well, more whispering to myself. It just dawned on me that I'd never been shopping before, but luck was not on my side, as they all heard me.Thankfully they didn't comment on it and instead dragged me to an expensive store. Dolce&Gabbana, Gucci, Burberry, and many other expensive stores. They kept insisting on getting more, but the amount of clothes made me grimace. Why do you need so many clothes?Jon even went inside with me to Victoria's Secret while the others waited outside while blushing. He didn't even look embarrassed. They got me everything from shoes, clothes, perfume, and jewellery to even electronics. I insisted on paying, but they al

Jessica's POVI had stopped crying a while back, but my eyes were red and my head was pounding. I feel bad for ruining their day. It's all my fault; now they're going to hate me and send me away. I should apologise.I stopped walking and turned around to face my brothers. They all stopped walking and looked at me in confusion and concern, even Pedro."I'm sorry," I whispered, looking down at the floor."For what?" Asked Gabriel with his eyebrows furrowed."I ruined your day, and for that I'm sorry," I said, looking at all of them and showing them that I meant every word I said.Immediately all of their gazes softened, and they looked at me in adoration. Now it was my turn to furrow my eyebrows. Why aren't they mad? Something is wrong. Maybe they're trying to trick me.Pedro came over to me and engulfed my small frame in his big one. To say I was shocked by his gesture would be an understatement.He hugged me so softly it brought tears to my eyes."It wasn't your fault, sorellina. You

Jessica's POVFlashback (trigger warning)I was running home in the rain and cold, but that wasn't what I was worried about. I'm late. I was supposed to be home at 4:00, but it's 5:30, and John was expecting me at the house so I could cook his food and clean the house.I wasn't even feeling the cold or caring how people were staring weirdly at me. I was worried if I would see the sunrise tomorrow or not.As soon as the house came into view and I saw his car in the driveway, I felt my heart sink. I froze in my spot and didn't realise that I was holding my breath until I felt dizzy. I broke out of my trance and made my way to the house.I stood on the doorstep contemplating if I should run or just man up and go inside.If I ran, John would tell his friends, and they would catch me and bring me back to him. Then my punishment would be worse. This time wouldn't be any different from the other times that I have tried to run away.If I stayed, he'd still hit me, but it would be less hurtful

Jessica's POVI woke up the next day from another nightmare. I looked at the clock and saw that it was 5:00 in the morning.I sighed and went to get up but winced when I felt a sharp pain in my ribs. They're broken, and it's not exactly fun to walk around with broken bones and heavily bruised ones.I took a couple of deep breaths and sat up very, very slowly. I stood up with the help of the bed and started making my way to the bathroom, also using the wall as support.I turned on the lights and stepped in front of the mirror. I looked at my reflection and felt tears well up in my eyes.Two purple bruises on my face and a handprint on my neck; my arms were littered with bruises and cuts, and so was my whole body.My torso was a different shade of black, blue, purple, green, and yellow; in final words, like a rainbow. My back was filled with whip marks and carved words.A sob broke out of me. I look horrendous. I look repulsive. Tears kept strolling down my face at the state I was in.M

While he was distracted, I spoke with Ivan since he's the older one and more mature, which will help me find his mom."So you said you can't find your mommy. Where did you last see her?" I asked him.His tears came back, and he started sniffling. "W...we were p...playing, and m...mommy told u...us to stay c...close, but we s...saw this cute doggie, and we w...wanted to pet it. We s...started running behind it b...but then w...we got l...lost," he said as he broke down in tears.Aww, this poor boy. I hugged him close to me while Egor was still in my lap. I kissed his forehead and wiped his tears with my thumb."It's okay; I will help you find your mommy, alright? No need to cry," I mumbled in his soft fluffy hair."R...really?" He sniffed with hopeful eyes. I nodded and smiled.He cheered and hugged me, making me laugh softly.But then a rumbling sound was heard. I looked around confused but then registered the sound. I looked down at my lap and saw Egor looking embarrassed with red ch
