Michael's POV

(In Michael's office)

"You can't be seriously thinking about this!?" Jermaine frowns when I tell him what happened yesterday. "What else can I do!? I tried calling the police and that just made it worst! That guy really hurt her and..."

"What do you mean he hurt her?" He frowns confused "Do you really need him to go into detail? How do you think?" Randy cuts in and Jermaine goes silent for a moment.

"There must be something else we can do"

"There's not. This is the only way" I shake my head "but, your talking about buying a person!"

"I'm not buying her!" I snap "You give someone money and they give you a person... that buying someone" he frowns.

"Well technically Yes.. but What else am I supposed to do!? Just leave her there!?"

"I'm not saying that"

"Then what other option do I have, huh?" I shrug and he doesn't answer trying to think. "As much as I hate this. Mike's right. All he can do is pay Mary" Randy cuts in.

"And how are you gonna get that kind of money by the end of the week?" Jermaine shrugs. "Well... I could..."

"Uh, uh.. don't even think about it" he cuts me off. "You can't take it out of the company"

"Why not? We all do it all the time and Mother and Joesph don't notice" I shrug. "Yeah, a few thousand here and there, but don't you think their gonna notice one million dollars has gone missing!?"

"Maybe not, but even if they do, it's not like I'm using it for drugs or anything. It's to help somebody"

"So why not ask him for the money instead of just taking it an hoping for the best they don't notice?" He shrugs sarcastically "You know why" Randy cuts in "Do you really want mother and Joesph finding out about this!?"

"Find out about what?" We hear a deep voice and turn to see Joesph at the door.

"Nothing" Jermaine shakes his head nervously "What have you boys done this time?"

"Nothing" I shake my head nervously. "So you were just planning on stealing money from me and your family for the fun of it?" He raises an eyebrow at me "I wasn't gonna steal it. I would have put it back eventually and..."

"What have you done?" He cuts me off and none of us saying anything "is it drugs?"

"What!? No!"

"Then what!?" He snaps at me "You've obviously done something to get yourself in a million dollars worth of trouble! So one of you better start talking and don't you dare lie to me!" He yells.

**
After telling Joesph everything that's been going he stands silent as do me and my brother's, waiting him to flip out or scream at us or anything.

"I'm sorry" I whisper shakily and he sighs heavily an takes a seat at my desk still not speaking. "Please, say something"

"What am I supposed to say?" He finally looks at us with a disappointed look on his face. "I've just found that not only are my son's a bunch of perverts, but they've also been stealing money from the company I put my heart and sole into so they can pay for hookers! One of which was a fucking child" he scrunches his face at me. "It's discusting! You boys weren't raised that way"

"I'm so sorry and I swear I didn't know how old she was" I croak seeing the disappointment in his eyes. "And now you want more money from me so you can get into human trafficking?"

"It's not like that! It's...."

"IT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS!" He yells cutting me off. "What would YOU call buying and fucking a 15 year old!!?"

"She's 16 now, but I..."

"Well that's ok then" he says sarcastically "I didn't know how old she was when we had sex or that she was being forced to be there and I'm not buying her to fuck her! I'm paying Mary so she gives me custody of her and then I can get her out of there. Nothing happened since I found out any of this. I swear!"

"So you fucked her and now you wanna have custody and parent her? Do you see how wrong that sounds?"

"I know it sounds messed up but..."

"Sounds it!?" He snaps cutting me off. "I tried going to the police, but it just made it worst and I just wanna get her out of there. Please help me?" I plead and he goes silent for a moment.

"And what makes you so sure she's not lying to you? For all you know the two of them could be in it together. How do you know she won't just take the money?"

"She's not lying and Mary won't she said she'll sign the paper's there and then and hand her over and..."

"Stop talking" he puts his hand up cutting me off and sits silently for a moment. "Can you help?" Randy asks and Joesph looks at him and frowns. "Nooo... I'm gonna leave her there" he says sarcastically then turns to me "How long do you have?" He turns back to me.

"She said the end of the week or the deals off"

"And I'm assuming it has to be in cash?"

"Yes" I mumble and he doesn't say anything and sighs heavily. "It'll take me a few hours. I have to speak to the bank and..."

"Thank you" I sigh in relief "You'll be thanking me by paying me back. Which you will and that goes for you two also!" He frowns at Jermaine and Randy. "I wanna know exactly have much you little fucks took and you'll be paying back every cent!" He snaps and we all nod and he turns his attention back to me. "Do you have Mary's number?"

"Yes"

"Call her and tell her you'll be there at 6pm tonight and to make sure that everything's ready"

Leanne's POV

"Where do you think your going?" Mary snap as I'm about to go upstairs. "I was going to take a shower and..."

"Uh.. uh. You have another client" she cuts me off grabbing my arm. "But..."

"But what!? Are you defying me?... Again!? Because you know what happens when you don't do as your told" She cuts me off "n-no, it's just that I'm really sore and I haven't had a break all day and..."

"Don't care. Get back down stairs now" she says coldly dragging me downstairs. "Please don't do this" I sob. "Whatever I did I'm sorry I won't do it agi..."

"Quit your crying. Your here for one purpose and one purpose only and I decided if can take a break or not, not you!" She snaps pushing me into one of the room "and by the way... crying isn't going to help you this time, because the clients I chose don't give a fuck" she smiles at me through pursed lips and slams the door, locking it behind her.

Michael's POV

"You don't have to come in. I can get her myself" I say to Joesph as he starts the car. "Well technically it's my purchase. I gotta check everything goes right" he frowns and I look away from him not saying anything. "I'd expect coming to a place like this or stealing from me from your brother's, but not you" he mumbles "I'm truly sorry. I don't know how many other ways to tell you that i'm..."

"I get it your sorry" he sighs "I guess in a way it turned out to be a good thing Jermaine took you and your brother's here. I'm guessing it was Jermaine's idea?"

"Yes" I mumble and he doesn't say anything "I knew you boys we're taking money from time to time, but I just assumed your were all partying or trying to impress your girlfriends or something, but did you not think your mother and I would notice that much money disappearing or the fact that you have a teenager all of a sudden? How was you going to explain that? Because obviously she's not yours. Not unless you knocked someone up when you were 8!"

"I don't know. I wasn't thinking" I mutter. "Well your gonna have to start. You should have just come to me" he sighs the goes quiet for a moment.

"Before I do this I need to know something and don't lie"

"I won't"

"This living arrangement you'll be having with her... it will be innocent won't it?"

"Of course it will! Yes. We've done stuff in the past, but that was before all this!" I tell him honestly. "I had to ask" he mumbles. "I know" I mumble back.

The rest of the journey is silent and eventually we park outside the brothel. "Is this is?" Joesph asks and I nod. "C'Mon" he says softly gets out of the car and I follow him inside.

"So you decided to bring your daddy with you this time? That's sweet" Mary smirks, whilst still counting the money. "I'm just here to make sure you don't try and screw my son over" Joesph frowns at her. "I think you'll find that's Leanne's job. She must be really good if your buying her for your son... Such a nice father you have" she says sarcastically turning to me. "What kind of sick human being does this to a child!?" Joesph says, looking at her in disgust. "A very rich one now" she smiles at him, once she's finished counting. "It was a pleasure doing buisness with you Mr Jackson" she smiles handing him some papers. "It's all there and signed as promised" she says as Joesph looks though it.

"Ok, You got what you wanted. Now where is she?" I say impatiently. "Someones eager" she chuckles getting up from her seat. "Quit the bullshit and go get her and her stuff so we can leave this place" Joesph snaps. "Stuff? You only bought the girl. The accessories don't come free. You have to pay extra for that"

"Will just get her already!" I snap "be right back" she smiles and walks out of the room.

"Where the fuck is she!?" I say pacing outside the room and I suddenly here Leanne screaming and crying and I rush over to her.

"I'm sorry... whatever I did I'm sorry please don't..."

"Blah blah, whatever here you go" Mary cuts her off and shoves her into me "sorry it took so long. We couldn't have her leave her last clients unhappy now could we?"

"What the fuck have you done to her!?" I snap seeing Leanne trembling and sobbing. "What? I never said you'd get her in good condition. Enjoy your purchase" she chuckles "this nice young man owns you now" she turns to Leanne.

I charge towards Mary, but Joesph quickly cuts me off. "Just leave!" He says sternly quickly rushing me and Leanne towards the door.

Lisa's POV

I'm upstairs getting changed and I hear yelling an screaming and go down to see what's going on.

"Is everything ok?" I ask walking over to Mary as whoever was yelling slam the front door. "Everything's fine" she smiles sweetly locking the door and places the key in her pocket. "I was actually on my way out"

"I'm sorry I'm afraid I can't let any of my girls out tonight" she smiles and I look at her confused "but, I'm not one of your girls"

"Have you seen Leanne anywhere? I haven't seen her all day. We're supossed to be going out tonight?" Emma says walking down the hall. "I'm afraid your plans have been cancelled. Michael just left with her"

"Oh, she's working over night? She never said" Emma frowns confused. "Michael was just here?" I cut in.

"Actually his daddy just purchased her for him. Such a sweet father" she smiles "What do you mean he..."

"Which means Lisa will be taking her place. You don't mind going through the rules with her do you?" She says to Emma ignoring me. "What the hell are you talking about!? I'm not working here!" I scrunch my face at the idea "I wasn't asking" she smirks "Emma? If you don't mind"

"Wait! You can't just..."

"Of course" Emma says taking my hand leading me upstairs.

"This is ridiculous! I'm not working here! I was only supposed to stay for a few days and..."

"And we told you to leave when you had the chance, but you wouldn't listen. I'm sorry, but you don't have a choice anymore" she says softly "Your here for good an Mary's never gonna let you just walk out... not now"

Joseph's POV

The drive is completely silent and everytime I look through my rear view mirror I see Michael holding Leanne tightly in her arms and she's still trembling and looks traumatized. I have no idea what happened to that poor girl in that house and right now I'm too afraid to ask because I honestly don't know if I handle the answer.

"We're here" I mumble parking outside Michael's house and Michael gets out, but Leanne remains silent and shaking. "C'Mon. it's ok. Nothing gonna happen to you, I promise" Michael says softly holding his hand out to her and she takes his hand and gets out. "Thank you so much" Michael croaks and I nod. "Just take her inside. It's getting cold" I mutter and he nods and walks off inside with her.

Michael's POV

It's been a few hours and Leanne still hasn't said a word since we left the brothel. "We can go shopping tomorrow and i'll get you some new clothes" I say softly, helping Leanne change into a pair of my sweatpants and a T-shirt and she nods still not speaking.

She still hasn't said a words since we left or even moved without me helping her and I still have no idea what happened. I had to help her into the shower and the whole time she just stood there motionless and I could see bruises all over her body.

"You should try and get some rest" I say softly helping her into bed. "Do you want me to leave you alone?" I ask and she shakes her head.

I get into the bed with her and pull her close to me and she suddenly bursts into tears in my arms.

"Sshhh.... it's ok... your safe now" I whisper holding her close to me.
