Chapter 22-3

Leandro and I walked out of the room and down a hallway. We made a left turn and then a right turn into an enormous office. Rodion, all the brothers, and all of River’s men were already in the room. When we

walked in, Rodion said, “Effie, please sit down. I’d like to talk about why you left so that we can find the

ones who are a threat to you. We’ve taken out a lot of the guys that were working against me. Most of

them have been recently. We need to see if there are any more so that both you and Veer are safe. I’m also

afraid for my daughter as well. Most of the guys that we took out were ones that were trying to get a hold

of her.”

Rodion and the guys then went on to give me the cliff notes of how they found River and what happened

over the last year. When I was still in Russia, I had heard rumors that he had another child but thought that

it was a boy because of shit that the ex had said. I hated that River had to go through everything that she

did. It was awful, and no one deserved to go through shit like that.

As they talked, something came to me. I remembered one time when Egor was talking to the mystery man, there was something about a girl. When they got done talking, I said, “I remember one time at the house in Russia. I wasn’t supposed to be at home. I was supposed to be out with my mother shopping, but

I hated to shop with her. She was already trying to dress me like a trophy wife, even at a young age. We got into a huge fight because I refused to wear the shit that she wanted me to wear. We got into it that day, we were already almost at the mall. When she got pissed because I refused to dress the way she wanted for dinner, she got pissed. They were trying to sell me off to some guy and didn’t think that I knew about it. I wasn’t about to go alone with it. So when she threw me out of the car and told me to walk back home, I did. By the time that I got home, a few hours had passed. It was afternoon, and I had stopped at the closest drive–thru. I made sure to get plenty of food that day so that I didn’t have to leave my room for a while. I even snuck back through the secret tunnel. When I got into my room, I was in the middle of bandaging my feet up when I heard yelling. I barely cracked my door and I could hear Egor and some guy fighting. It was something about the boss’s daughter and ways to get ahold of her. They were going to use her as leverage and then sell her like they were with me. I never understood what they were talking about. And honestly, I thought that they were talking about the boss that was right over him, not you. It never dawned on me then because it was right after I was forced to move over there.”

As I was talking, I could see that everyone of these guys was pissed off. But Leandro was about to explode, he was so pissed. I knew that I needed to tell them the rest, so after taking a deep breath, I went on. “My mom didn’t ever want me. When she found out that she was pregnant with me, she tried to abort me. But my dad fought her on it and even took her to court. He won, and she was forced to carry me. After I was born, my grandma told me that my dad and mom went a year without speaking. She didn’t want a divorce because that meant that she would be giving up a free ride and free money. She stuck it out with him, at least until I turned thirteen. That’s when she started to cheat on my dad. I was fourteen when they finally separated, and the divorce wasn’t final until after I was fifteen. My whole childhood, she was never around me and didn’t want anything to do with me, until the divorce. Because the boys were still in school and I was underage, I was the one that she wanted. She could get child support for me from my dad. She only wanted it because there was a prenup, and she didn’t get anything else from my dad but her clothes.

She was pissed off over that, so she had her new man pay off a dirty judge to get custody of me. But because of the prenup, he couldn’t get her anything else. My dad and I both argued with the judge. I even told him that I was old enough to choose where I wanted to live, and it wasn’t with her. I wanted to stay with my dad. They thought that they could get away with shit in front of me because they spoke Russian in front of me. That’s what they get for thinking, though, I spent the plane ride over there learning the

language. By the time that we touched down, I knew everything that they were saying. So I knew what they were planning. Some guy that Egor had been working with had been selling girls. That’s what they planned to do to me but weren’t able to. Because of Dad getting visitation and the fact that we talked every day, they couldn’t get away with it. They were trying to figure out a way, though. They were going to try and just say that I ran away. Dad and I had a plan for if they did, though. In the meantime, he kept going back to count to try to get full custody of me back. I heard Egor and the guy talking, and they had already sold me. They got a lot of money for me, too, from what I remember. Egor was bragging about how my dad would never find me. And that the guy would break me so that I would finally become meek and quit and do what I was told. They laughed about how he was beat me and r**e me until I learned to listen. That’s the conversation that I overheard that day that I ran. The day that I came to you for help and overheard your conversation with the girl. I let Dad know what was going on and that I was leaving. I let him know that! would be in contact, but I wasn’t letting him know where I was going, and I left. I changed my look by disguising myself and then got on a plane and was gone. Mother and Egor tried going to Dad’s to find me, even took him to court. Dad told them that he knew that I left and why. But didn’t know where I was at. He even showed the judge the video that I had taken and sent him. Egor ended up in jail for it. But I think that he got out. Dad keeps an eye on them both, but I don’t. He said that if he got work that they would be close to me, then he’d tell me, but he didn’t want me to worry.”
