Admitting those crimes might rob her of the opportunity to get this job but she was even afraid of lying to him.

"Yes, but I was forced."

Don Denzel’s face was dark, his expression unreadable. Aurora was not only nervous but equally afraid as he asked, "You carried drugs, worked as a prostitute, and even went to jail for two months?"

If Lisa’s elder sister lived this kind of life, then he wondered what kind of life Lisa lived. She looked so innocent, as if she hadn’t a care in the world.

To his dismay, Aurora answered, "They are all true."

Don Denzel’s expression remained blank as he closed the file. This information had been dug up by Godic and added to Aurora’s documents. "Tell me about your family."

Aurora was so uncomfortable in the chair she sat in as she began to answer the questions pertaining to her agonizing past. "My parents died when I was 15. My kid sister was just ten. I was all she had."

Don Denzel guessed from Aurora’s response that Lisa must have lived a hard life. "Tell me about this kid sister of yours." He had a faraway expression on his face, not giving his emotions away, but Aurora was adamant in recounting her pathetic past.

Also, she was sure that the man in front of her would not give her the job after knowing the things she did in her past. As such, it was useless talking about it.

"You won’t give me the job anyway. I should go."

She was about to stand up when Don Denzel quickly said, "If you walk out the door, you will be killed. Do you know that?" He asked seriously, fear registered in Aurora’s eyes. The rate at which she always got close to death was quite alarming in her situation.

"They are here? How did you know?" She asked with tear-filled eyes. Knowing the man who had given her a painful life might send his boys after her, she acted discreetly. It was also the reason why she wanted to leave earlier but was harshly stopped.

"Tell me about your kid sister, and I will protect you." Don Denzel typed something on his phone and placed it gently on the shiny surface of the luxurious table.

"Why do you want to know about her?" Aurora asked, suspicion blaring in her voice. Don Denzel was slightly annoyed, lifting his left wrist to his eye level and checking the time on his Rolex wristwatch.

"I have limited time, or would you rather go out to face your death?" He asked in a harsh tone. Aurora shivered, a tear slipped down her cheek.

"My sister, Lisa, was killed, all because of me." Alpha Denzel passed her a tissue. He was interested in the story and not her tears.

"Explain."

Aurora accepted the tissue and wiped her face quickly. "My parents used to work for Don Gambol. I don’t know what happened. One day, his men came to our house and said that our parents owed them money. They were beaten to death. I fled the house with my sister."

Don Denzel frowned slightly, but it was almost unnoticeable. He didn’t stop her but listened carefully. "We roamed the streets for days before a good Samaritan took us in. His wife took good care of us for three years before he began to demand information about my father."

Don Denzel’s frown deepened, but he allowed her to continue with the narration.

"He was asking for things I knew nothing about. As I kept explaining to him that I knew nothing, Don Gambol’s men arrived and killed him too.

This time, I couldn’t escape, so I helped Lisa and the guardian’s wife, Mavis to escape, giving myself as a scapegoat. "

"I was shipped to Italy where I was forced to do all manner of things. He turned me into his sex slave after forcing me to take drugs."

"Couldn’t you report him to anyone?" Don Denzel found himself asking. Aurora shook her head pitifully.

"No. Most of the people around us were just like him. The last time I tried to report him to the police, he allowed his stupid friends to force me into a threesome. Forced sex is a very painful thing. I was his pleasure toy."

Don Denzel found the narration too painful to hear and interrupted, "What happened to Lisa?"

"She was suffering with Mavis because she didn’t have money to take care of her. I received her secret messages of how she and Mavis begged to feed, moving from one shelter to the other."

Don Denzel felt a strange pain in his chest but did not stop her from telling him about Lisa.

"I felt cheated because Don Gambol was using me and paying me nothing. I stole some jewelry from him, sold them, and sent the money to Mavis. That is how she and Lisa lived well for a few years, and she enrolled Lisa in school to further her education."

Don Denzel realized that was the theft matter Don Gambol mentioned. "Don Gambol found out what I did and forced me to reveal who I sent the money to. I refused, and so I endured more abuse. I did everything he asked of me willingly this time because my sister was living well."

"I helped him traffic both drugs and children, fulfilling his maniacal sexual needs until I got tired. One day, he was high on cocaine, so I stabbed him and escaped to Las Vegas to join Lisa, thinking he was dead, but he wasn’t."

"He tracked me down a few years later and told me to come to him. I refused, and the next thing I heard, Lisa was stabbed at the entrance of her college." Tears of regret streamed down her cheeks, and the last part of the narration indeed ached Don Denzel’s heart.

His expression darkened as he asked, "Are you sure he was the one? Did you see the killer?" He was suspicious of Alpha Conrad, so this revelation was confusing.

If it was so, then Lisa did not die because of him, which was a great relief. Whatever Lisa and Aurora went through was purely based on the sins of their parents...
