Title: Chapter 5: Lesson Learned
Yes, I agree that Pearl and Charles/Trigger need to be dealt with. What is it that they need from her? I mean why do they want her back so badly anyway? Seriously, they're following this poor girl all over the place! Why? He can get other dealers to do the job, no matter how good she may have been, and Pearl clearly never gave a damn about her, so what is it. And Pearl is thoroughly digusting and must be hurt epsecially bad!
Also, I'm only guessing, but was the man that raped James possibly Trigger? I get an intimate vibe from him. Its obvious his interest is more personal and sexual in nature. That crack he made about her "being good in more ways than one" proved that. Nothing else that could mean. Like he has first-hand knowledge.
I so want James to get out of this and away from them. The kid is trying to do better and make a better life for herself. They got to her before she had a chance, but she's decided that it doesn't have to remain that way. For that I will always be in her corner.
This a wonderful story you're telling here. Enjoying it very much. Keep it up.
Author's Response: I wish I could explain why Pearl and Charles are going after her in a sentence or a paragraph, but it would be hard to without skipping any important details. I can say that why they are going after her will be something that you will least expect!Trigger is the kind of man that is "too close for comfort" if you catch his attention. How he looks at James isn't the way a "stepfather" should look at a "stepdaughter"and that is a good theory of him being her rapist, but I'm gonna have to keep my lips sealed, LOL.
As for James, she is trying to make something of herself, but with Pearl and Charles looming over her shoulder, she has to work three times as hard to prove to them and most importantly herself that she have a better life and Tristen is there to help her.
I am so glad that you are enjoying my story and there will be more updates coming your way!
