Who are you? I’m trembling with fear, afraid even to lift my eyes at the thugs. This shouldn’t concern you, Sophia—answers the leader of them and the most terrible one.
A huge, thickly built man, as big as a wardrobe, with his hair cut short, comes closer. He noisily inhales the scent of my hair near my neck, like an animal sniffing out its female. Let me go! Please! I start whining more and more pitifully, but these gangsters have no mercy. My father will pay you whatever you say.
Of course he will, the brute assures me, running his finger along my lower lip. But first, let him see how his little daughter pays for his sins! You like me, baby? I won’t torture you for long, and I’ll kill you quickly, I promise. Want to live longer? Be a good girl!
I was kidnapped by some losers right outside the university where I study. I don’t understand what they want from me, but I know my father is guilty of something before the main gangster known as Tatarin.
No salvation is coming for me—no mercy either.
