"I missed you too mum" Damon muttered as he sobbed on her shoulder.

Don folded his arms and watched the two crying.

"Am really sorry, Mum...for not coming to see you" Damon wept bitterly on her shoulder.

Don rolled his eyes and left the room.

"Son, don't do what this monster asked you to, he's using you." Daniella said as she broke the hug.

"But mum, he promised to get you out of this place if I do all he asked." He said and he wiped her tears.

"Damon, I don't want you to fall into his trap. He's a murderer...I don't want you to be like him..." Daniella said as she cupped his cheek.

"Mum, please don't cry." Damon said wiping her tears with his thumbs.

"Damon, don't fall into his trap. I beg of you." She said.

"His trap?" Damon asked confusedly.

"Aren't you aware he's only using you? When you're no longer useful, he'll kill you" she said and Damon sighed.

"Mum, I have only one wish. To get you out of this horrible place even if I die in the process" He said and Daniella sobbed more.

He looked at the chains all over his mum and cried more.

"Damon, listen to me. I'll be fine. Don't kill anyone..." She sniffed harder.

"Mum.."

"Please son!! There'll be no reason for me to live if you're gone and if you kill those people just because you want to save me" she said and he bit his lips as the tears poured more.

"Mum..."

"Damon." Don called the moment he entered and pulled Damon away like a child.

"Time's up. Leave." He said and Damon wiped his tears before looking at his mom.

"I love you!" He said with a smile.

"I love you more" she said and Damon left the room in tears, as his father followed.

"Don, you're a monster. And I'll make sure you die. You'll die by my hands Don. I may be helpless now, but I'll find a way. I won't let you turn my son into the beast that you are." She said and let her tears flow freely.

Brianna was in the restroom and she was squatting near a wall. She covered her mouth as she cried silently.

She couldn't get over the girl that was killed.

"So heartbreaking." She thought.

"Brianna!!" She heard someone's voice and snapped out of her thoughts.

"Is it Eric?" She asked herself and stood up.

She wiped her tears before washing her face. She walked out of the restroom and opened the door.

"Eric!" She called as she opened the door.

"Why are your eyes red and puffy?" He asked and she smiled.

"You're seeing things" she said and walked into the room before sitting on the couch. Eric walked in as well and closed the door before coming to seat opposite her.

"Now will you tell me why you were crying?" He asked and she looked at him.

"I wasn't..."

"Don't you dare lie to me" he snapped and she bit her lips.

"It's the mission. A little girl was killed and I saw myself in her. Yes the girl was just 3 years younger but I saw myself in her. I felt her pain" Brianna said and he held her hands.

"Bri!" Eric called and she looked at him.

"I know you're in pain but you need to be strong. Don is not someone we can mess with and if we want to bring him down, you need to be strong" he said and she nodded.

"I will" she said and he let go of her hands.

"Did you know our mission was successful?" He asked.

"Yeah. You did well." She said and he chuckled.

"How do you know? You weren't even there" he said and asked and she smiled.

"I know! Even Arianna did well" she said.

"Guess your sister isn't a weakling." He chuckled.

"She isn't." Brianna said and Arianna walked in.

"Brianna! Our mission was successful!" Arianna twirled and sat near her sister.

"Even ours!" Brianna said.

"But why does your sister gets angry when someone injures her face?" Eric asked and the twins looked at each other.

"I don't know!" Brianna and Arianna said at the same time.

"We both said a word at the same time" they said again.

"We're still doing it" they said again.

"Twins power!!!!" They screamed at the same time and Eric laughed loudly.

"You two are crazy!" He said as his laugh died down.

"How are your wounds?"

"They're fine. A special doctor treated me so I'll be fine for sure" she said with a smirk.

"That's good to hear" he said with a slight chuckle.

"Thanks, handsome." Arianna chuckled. Eric blushed on hearing that.

"I'm still here incase you forgot" Brianna said and they looked at her before laughing.

Brianna knocked on Damon's door.

There was no response.

"Damon, are you in there?" She asked but no response as well.

She opened the door and walked in slowly.

Damon was on the floor crying bitterly while holding the photo frame of his mother.

"Damon!" She called as she squatted in front of him.

He sniffed and Brianna noticed his teary eyes.

"Are you okay Damon?" She asked and he looked up at her.

"Yes!" He said and looked away.

"But you're crying" she said.

"No!" He said and wiped tears.

"I can see it clearly, you have tears in your eyes." She said.

"I AM NOT CRYING!" He yelled.

"You're crying, Damon! You can't lie to me!" She said and he cried loudly.

"I can't do anything to save her!!! Am just a stupid weakling who's killing innocent people just to save one person" he said and cried bitterly.

Tears filled her eyes as she watched him.

She held his cheeks with her two hands and made him face her.

"It's not your fault. You can still save her and you're not weak. Your strong! You were able to beat me that day" she said and he chuckled.

"Don't cry again. I'll help you in whatever way I can. We'll save her together" she said and he looked at her.

'You won't be willing to help me if you knew I was the killer of your parents' he thought.

"Don't help me!" He said and removed her hands from his face.

"I will and there's nothing you'll say or do that'll make me change my mind. I'll help you no matter what" she said and he started feeling bad already.

He pulled her into a hug from the neck and her eyes widened.

Her heart began beating extremely fast as she felt his hands on her back. She smiled a little before reciprocating the hug.

"Thank....you!" He said as a tear drop fell from his eyes.

'How will I hate him now?' She thought as she tightened the hug.

He rested his head on her shoulders and she smiled widely.

After a while, he broke the hug and they were both sitting at the edge of his bed.

"I bet you won't help me like this if you know what I did" he said without looking at her.

She understood what he meant but she feigned ignorance.

"What do you mean?!" She asked.

"Nothing!" He said and stood up.

"Name your price!" He muttered and she looked at him.

"Price?!" She asked.

"There must be a reason why you want to help me" he said and she scoffed before standing up.

"I just want to help you. I don't want anything in return" she said and started leaving.

She held the door knob and was about to twist it when he said something.

"Thank you. Also this should be between us both. Neither your sister nor your best friend should know" he said and she smiled.

"They won't!" She said and twisted the door knob before opening it.

She left.

He didn't know when he smiled a warm smile he never smiled before except when he was with his mother.

A car stopped in front of a big duplex house and Brianna stepped down. She was wearing a black hoodie with a black nose mask and a black jean skirt with a black boot.

She walked to the gate and rang the doorbell. Wendy opened the gate and her eyes widened.

"W...who are you?" She stuttered.

"It's me Brianna!!" Brianna said.

"Brianna!" She whispered and opened the gate wider and Brianna came in.

She locked the gate and Brianna removed the hoodie cap and nose mask.

"Brianna!!" She called and hugged her tightly. Brianna reciprocated and after a while, they broke it.

"How are you doing sweetie?" She asked.

"I'm good. Well this is the money I got and I want you to have it" Brianna said.

"But why Brianna?? You've given us so much" Wendy said.

Brianna was the one that bought this house for them with all the money she got from Don. Don doesn't actually knows that she gives her money to Wendy and the other maids.

Wendy and the other maids are living together. They always thank Brianna for everything she is doing for them and ask her to stop but she never listens.

"Use this for food stuffs, electricity bills, water and other stuffs you need. Please don't reject this" she said and Wendy smiled.

"Thank you dear" Wendy said.

"You're welcome!! I love you" Brianna said and handed the envelope full of cash to her.

"I love you too" Wendy said and they hugged again before Brianna put on her hoodie cap and her nose mask before leaving the house.

She entered her car and ignited the engine before driving off.

Irene who was actually watching her from her car smirked. She ignited the engine before driving off.

Rihanna was sitting in her room looking outside the window. She was already treated but she was sad.

Her fifth baby is gone now and she's feeling really devastated.

Tears escaped her eyes as she remembered what happened.

"I'm sorry babies. You don't deserve this kind of a father" she said as she wept bitterly.

She laid back down on the bed and closed her eyes. The door flew open and Don walked in.

Her eyes flew open as she faced him with a terrified look on her face. She sat up immediately and he came closer.

"How are you doing pretty?" He asked as climbed the bed.

"Leave me alone. Please!" She muttered weakly.

He dragged her down by the leg and got on top of her pinning her hands above her head.

She was too weak to put up a fight so she cried silently.

Don hurriedly took off his shirt and pants. He tore her gown and tore her bra and panties before throwing them away.

"Please!!" She pleaded and he smirked. He thrusted in and out of her as she moaned in severe pain. He grabbed her boobs and sucked them to satisfaction.

When he was done with her, he kissed her so hard till her lips burst, and got up from her.

He wore his clothes before looking at her. She fainted already.

"BITCH!" He muttered before leaving.

Eric was in his room laying down on the bed as he stared at the ceiling.

Arianna knocked on the door and he groaned.

"Who is it?" He asked.

"It's Arianna!" She said and he sat up.

"Come in!" He said and she opened the door before walking in.

"Hi!" She said and walked to him.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Can we go out?" She asked and he arched a brow.

"Why?" He asked.

"I'm fed up with this place. I just want to enjoy for a while. Please!!!" She said.

"Can't you go with Brianna?" He asked.

"She's not around. Just please let's go!" She said and he sighed.

"I even need fresh air. Alright, let's go" he said and stood up.

He was actually putting on a black t-shirt and a black jean with a black jacket. He put a pocket knife in his pocket and brushed his hair. After applying perfume, he walked to her.

She was actually putting on a white and red long hand crop top with a red skirt that reached her thigh. She was wearing a red boot and she let her hair flow freely.

"You look good!" He said and walked out of the room and she followed.

"You too!!" She said and they both walked out of the house.

They entered the black Lamborghini which was already cleaned. Eric ignited the engine before driving off.

"It seems like your death will be quicker than I thought" he muttered and let out a dark chuckle.

"Let me out of here please!!" She screamed.

There was a net tied to the ceiling. The net was hanging and rotating slowly. Daniella was in the net, and beneath it was fire.

Don pulled the lever and the net started going down.

"No!!!! Please help me!!!" She screamed but Don didn't stop.

She was already feeling the heat as the net kept going down.

"Don!" A voice called and he stopped.

He looked back and smirked at who he saw.
