When Alex and Joshua left, Bella came downstairs, her eyes red from crying. Jr asked her how the girls were doing, and Bella shook her head, her voice barely above a whisper.
"They've refused to speak," she said, her eyes welling up with tears. "And by the way, have you seen their bodies before?"
Jr's expression turned curious. "No, why?" he asked.
Bella took a deep breath, her voice trembling. "All of them have scars of burns and whips," she said, her eyes streaming with tears.
Jr's eyes widened in horror, and he felt like he had been punched in the gut. "What?" he exclaimed, his voice shaking with rage.
He turned to Bella, his eyes blazing with anger. "How much have my girls been through?" he asked, his voice cracking with emotion.
Bella sobbed uncontrollably, and Jr felt his heart break. He had failed to protect the girls, and now they were suffering the consequences.
He pulled Bella into a tight hug. "I'm sorry, I failed you," he whispered, his voice shaking with emotion. "I failed you, but I promise what happened today will be the last."
He kissed Bella's tears away, trying to comfort her. But he knew he had to do more. He had to find out who had hurt the girls and make them pay.
Jr quickly composed himself and left the mansion, telling the driver to take him to the office. As they drove, he called one of his trusted guards, Tod.
"Tod, I need you to contact the crew," Jr said, his voice firm. "We have some work to get done."
Tod's voice was crisp and efficient. "Yes, boss. I'll get right on it."
Jr hung up the phone, his mind racing with plans. He was going to find out who had hurt the girls, and he was going to make them pay.
As he arrived at the office, Jr's determination only grew stronger. He was going to protect the girls, no matter what it took.
But little did Jr know, Natasha was just the tip of the iceberg. There were more secrets, more lies, and more dangers lurking in the shadows.
And Jr was about to face them head-on.
