CHAPTER 1
*LUCIA*
My parents used to say I was a sweet little girl while growing up.And they wanted to see that sweet girl in me again. Well...it doesn't pay to be a sweet girl. Seven years ago,I lost my virginity and everyone saw everything. Too bad I wasn't awake for it. The video went viral. Of course it would. A billionaire's daughter on camera? Wouldn't you click share? Besides,that's what the three guys in the video did. Share. They shared me. One of them was my boyfriend,Julius. It was impossible to think he would do that to me. A coffee mug was bashed in my skull and my purse was used to choke me. They held me bound with ropes. They gagged me. What do you think hurt me the most? The coffee mug? The hot,swollen unlubricated flesh that violated me like I was just a fold of meat to jack off into? The wrenched shoulders and torn ACL from being trussed and tied up like something in a bad porno? The broken cheekbone from being raped from behind so hard my face smashed into the coffee table leg more times than the ER doctor could document? Or knowing that my boyfriend....my best friend had been a part of it. I don't really have it in me to pick which was worse. They're all the worst. How do I know any of this when I was drugged? The video. Everyone saw it. Hell,people in remote areas saw it too. I know this because of the emails...the tweets....the Facebook posts....the Snapchat and instagram and even Pinterest pins that mock me tirelessly although I don't have those accounts. Even now,after seven years....it persisted... Pain never dies. Then there are the pictures of the dicks. Oh God! The endless dick pics. When you're a billionaire's daughter and you get drugged and ganged raped and recorded and the taped video is later broadcast on every legitimate media,web page and pirate torrent site on the planet,you tend to draw out the crazies......the ones who think sending you a picture of their naked,erect little sausage is like bringing candy and flowers on a date. Like that picture will make you sleep with them... Become their girlfriend. Become their property. It seems half the world thought I deserved it. That I got too drunk and passed out and got what was coming. Uhm...What was coming was the three men who drugged me. Set up a camera and posted it online. How many people get to watch a real life defloration? How many people get to later watch themselves being deflowered? That's right. Not only was I violated by three guys I considered friends,but they took my virginity too. They took so much from me that night,seven years ago. They dumped me in front of my house. And two days later....when I could finally tell my family what had happened,my father got to them....tortured hell out of them before handing them to the police. But few minutes before my dad found them...the video had already gone viral. According to them,Julius never loved me. He was only interested in me because of my father's wealth. But he was having doubts if my father would ever accept him because we were still so very young and he really didn't have a good background. So in order to get some money from me....he planned to gang rape me with his friends and have a video of it so that they could blackmail my father with it. They had planned to get tons of money from him before a friend of theirs who weren't in on the show. The fourth guy stubbled on the video in Julius cell phone. I think he possibly enjoyed it or something but he sent it to his phone and sent it to his other friends and that was how the video started circulating until it went viral. My family weren't ashamed of me as I had expected they would be. They stood by me,especially my mom and Dads. Yes. I have two dads. Philip and Alberto. Was it wrong if I said I loved Alberto more? Well I do. And even if he isn't my biological father.....he treats me the same way he does to his other kids. Well not until recently when he started forcing me to come out of my shell and try to love again. I'm not in any shell. I only built strong walls around me so that no one would ever hurt me again. I don't need love. All the men I met after that incident are jerks who only wanted to be with me because I'm Alberto's daughter. So why on earth will I ever want to love or even settle down with any fucking man? They don't deserve it.
