Roofies.

I had no idea what that was but it was in Nicolas' system. A lot of it.

Theo explained that they were a very strong sleeping drug, but also sold illegally to be used to rape people. Fucked up people would spike your drink with roofies, you'd end up drinking it and lose consciousness so that they could take advantage of you.

That's what happened to Nicolas at that party. Someone spiked almost all of his drinks and raped him.

It took Hector a month to piece everything together and find the culprit, but when he did everything got even worse.

Nicolas was still trying to heal from what happened. He barely ate and locked himself up in his room. The only time he came out was to go to the gym and punch the shit out of the punching bag.

But when he learned that Arabella Bianchi did that to him, I think his world crashed.

She was the daughter of the underboss of Brooklyn. She was a year older than him but I don't think that he thought a small girl would ever be able to hurt him.

But she didn't put up a fair fight. She took advantage of him in the grossest way possible.

No matter how much we tried to tell him that it wasn't his fault, he still felt ashamed.

Especially when Hector approached Arabella's father, Tomas Bianchi, who told him that she was pregnant and Nicolas was the father.

Leonardo wasn't even allowed in Nicolas' room when we heard the news. I could see how he was blaming himself for something he was a victim of.

It broke my heart to see him like this but he won't let anyone in. All we could do right now was wait for him to let us in and help him.

Omniscient teller:

Hector felt an inexplicable rage when someone hurt his younger siblings. He wanted to tear the person who hurt them to pieces and completely destroy them. Even that wasn't satisfactory for him. He wanted to completely obliterate them.

Arabella Bianchi was a crazy bitch. He didn't need to talk to her to know. She had that look in her eyes that told him she was absolutely insane.

"I don't know where you get this rape narrative from. Nicolas and I had consensual sex." She dared to lie to him.

They were in the warehouse. He preferred to use his office at home over the one at the warehouse. But he didn't want to welcome the Bianchi's in his family home.

"Haven't you heard about Hector's sixth sense? He always knows when you lie to him." Alexander spoke up.

Alexander Ferrari was here as well. His fiancé was pregnant with another man's child and his underboss had fucked up.

"I'm not lying!" She scoffed.

Hector kept staring at her and it made her uncomfortable. Good. That's what he wanted. Silas walked towards her chair and slapped her hard across the face. She nearly stumbled out of her chair if her father hadn't caught her.

"You like to hit pregnant women?" He snarled at Silas.

"No, I like to hit bitches who come after my siblings."

Arabella's cheek had turned red while Hector continued to stare at her.

"You continue to lie to me, Arabella, but I'm warning you."

She didn't reply and crossed her arms over her chest like the spoiled child she was. Theo rolled his eyes and pulled up a file.

"You were never pregnant, to begin with." He stated.

The Bianchi's faces fell and Alexander leaned forward to read the file. He cursed under his breath. They faked a pregnancy test.

"T-t-that-" Hector cut Tomas off.

"Don't waste my time. I know all about what you did."

The older man started to shiver because he realised what his fate was.

Death.

"You spiked all my brother's drinks with roofies and then raped him. Then you realised that I was onto you, so you faked a pregnancy in the hope that I wouldn't hurt you." He spoke to Arabella.

"You act as if he wasn't into it." She snapped.

Silas slapped her again. This time she did fall to the ground. She stumbled back on top of her chair.

"Will you stop hitting me?" She screamed at Silas.

"We'll have a lot of fun later." He winked at her.

She froze in her seat and turned to Hector with fright in her eyes.

"You don't torture women." She hissed.

He smirked at her.

"I don't torture children and pregnant women. You don't belong to any of these categories."

She started to panic and turn to her father. Tomas Bianchi was dangerously pale and didn't react to his daughter. Hector waved Aurelio over, who dragged the man out of the room to the dungeons.

"My papa didn't do anything!" She screamed.

"He helped you fake the pregnancy. He betrayed my trust." Hector told her simply.

Tears streamed down her face and she jumped to her next victim. Alexander. He pushed her off him and handed the file back to Theo after reading it.

"You're supposed to be my fiancé!" She cried out.

He just rolled his eyes. Truth be told, Alexander was happy to get out of this engagement. He's been pushing back the date of their wedding more and more lately.

"If you tell me why you did it, perhaps we'll be a little more merciful," Hector told her.

In that desperate state, she didn't even think twice. This was life or death and she did anything to stay alive.

"I wanted to make Alexander jealous." She lied again.

"You already sleep with other men." Alexander pointed out.

He didn't care that she did but he didn't like her to drag him in this mess.

"The more you lie to me, the less convinced I'll be to go easy on you," Hector warned her.

She sobbed out loud and then the tantrum started. Hector had to close his eyes for a while to keep his cool. This girl was absolutely horrible and he couldn't wait to put a bullet through her dumb head.

"It's because of Elena Cassano!"

Hector's eyes snapped back open at the mention of his little sister. They've only met each other at the Christmas Party a month ago.

"Watch your mouth before you accuse my baby sister!" Silas snapped her again.

The brothers were already tense due to Nicolas' state and they definitely didn't want this insane woman to turn to their little sister.

"He likes her!" She pointed at Alexander.

Alexander stared at her blankly before rolling his eyes.

"He knows better than to like her," Hector told her.

Alexander knew what would happen if he even dared to pursue Elena.

"I'm not into minors." Alexander sounded offended.

Arabella shook her head and glared at him with her red eyes.

"You were laughing with her at the Christmas party!"

Last party, Alexander did laugh with Elena but Theo was with them. They were laughing at something that Theo had said. It was just a normal chat and she had taken it way out of context.

"You do this all because I laughed with her?" Alexander asked incredibly.

"She's prettier than me!" She sobbed out loud.

Her head fell on the table and her tantrum got even worse. Hector sighed deeply and nodded for Silas to take her ahead. Her screams died out when the door closed behind them.

Theo sighed deeply and shared eye contact with his older brother.

"Don't tell anybody. Especially not Elena." Hector told him.

Elena would feel incredibly guilty over something that wasn't her fault. They just wanted to spare her from that.

Hector got up from his seat and the other men followed. He turned to Alexander.

"Tell me when you've appointed a new underboss."

Tomas Bianchi wasn't going to make it out of here alive and Brooklyn would need a new underboss.
