CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR
~Elizabeth~
I groaned out when the alarm I had set went off. Another day, another working day. It was good, yet annoying. One way or another, David was able to talk me into coming back to work, more like forced me.
Sluggishly, I got up from bed and headed to my bathroom. The cold water from my shower hit my skin and I shivered in both delight and fear of catching a cold. Closing my eyes, I let my body adjust to the feeling.
Everything was going back to the way it was, my job as the personal assistant to Mr. Badmus, having to wake up very early in the morning and drive to B Corp, expecting a work load from around nine till either five, six or seven in the night.
The only change now is, I don't have psychotic nightmares, neither do I have a psychotic father, my mother is well and finally, I'm dating my boss.
Cliche much.

~Elizabeth~I didn't utter another word, I couldn't think of anything to say. The only thing that my brain could register was David, so briskly, I left my office and Chidima to go to David's.Walking towards his office, I could see the eyes of others on me, they all knew what was up and some took pleasure at other people's discomfort, especially those that were not happy about David and I being together. So I decided against sending glares at any of them.I didn't even bother to knock, I just pushed the door open. When the door was wide open, my eyes met with David's. And with the look of things, he also just heard of the news.It was all out. Tears clouded my eyes and I didn't stop myself from letting it out. My knees grew weak and I staggered backwards,
ASSAULTED CHAPTER TWENTY SIX
~Elizabeth ~It was already time to leave work, I did not want to leave my office though. I did not want to have to face the people who would laugh or mock or feel pity for me. I just wanted to blend in back. Yes, David did say to ignore them, but it was almost impossible to. Especially when they were standing close to you. I watched the door knob of my office twist, but I was too absent minded to react to it. Then David poked his head through it. "You ready?""What?" I raised a brow at him. He stared at me for a while, then decided to bring his entire body into view by entering my office and shutting the door. "Are you ready to go?" He asked and I nodded in understanding.
ASSAULTED CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN
~Elizabeth ~"Mum." I breathed out with slightly dropped jaw. She was standing there, right in front of me, with a bright smile on her face.I choked on my own breath, the fear I once felt got mixed up with weird feelings, that seemed like joy but more. Tears stung my eyes at the view. She looked happy, she was standing straight and didn't look like she was even sick."My baby." She said after I didn't say anything anymore. Her arms spreaded out for a hug and without double thinking, I fell into them. Crying out more.It felt real, it was not another dream and even if it were, I did not want to wake up. "Mum." I said again, my voice cracking as I hugged tighter."I can't breath well." I heard her say as she patted my back. Reluctantly, I let her go, only to have to stare at her face again. She didn't change, it had been three months since I last saw her."I should be upset." She began, trying to pout but her smile failing the expression. "You didn't call me." She added and my eyes wide
ASSAULTED CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT
~DAVID~Was it something I said? Or didn't say?I watched her walk away from us slowly. My head began to think of anything I might have said that made her upset. But I didn't say or do anything. The argument we had earlier was a peaceful one, it was something to laugh and be happy about. She told me she loved me, it was the best thing I heard so far."I'll go talk to her." I volunteered as I also left the dinning table too. I walked briskly to the door, my head still trying to think of what to tell or ask her. She was upset, I knew that, what I didn't know was at who and why?Shaking off my thoughts, I twisted the door knob and opened it. She was standing on the porch, staring blankly at nothing, almost like she was deep in her thoughts."Elizabeth." I called out and she jerked up in fear making me frown."Oh." She said when she figured it was just me."Is something wrong?" I asked, taking steps towards her till we were standing opposite each other."No, it's just..." she trailed off
ASSAULTED CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
~Elizabeth~I shuffled around my bed for the umpteenth time, trying to reach for the alarm clock again to press the snooze button. Just when I thought I had reached it, I fell hard to the ground and my body made a thud sound. "Ouch." I pouted lowly as pain jolted in. I stared up at the table clock and then fell backwards to the ground when I realized how late I was. Although I immediately regretted my decision to fall back as the back of my head began to hurt badly. With a loud sigh, I reluctantly got up from the ground and walked towards my bathroom. I shivered as goosebumps covered my skin when the cold water hit me. Letting out a shaky breath, I allowed myself adjust to the water. The ache did not stop banging at the back of my head and even water did not seem to cool it off. The thought of having to go back to work and sit in the almost enclosed room just made my body weak. That was not as worse as having people stare at me all because of the video that already went viral. David
ASSAULTED CHAPTER THIRTY
~ELIZABETH~My mind was still blown by the news, we were going to London, and not as a business trip. "A vacation?" I questioned still in disbelief. David rolled his eyes, not bothering to reply me."Why?" I kept pushing. "We have work, we can't just leave it. You're making this entire relationship thing weird. Is this what people together do?!" I shrieked, stomping my feet on the ground."Okay, will you calm down?" He glared at me, turning back to face the road."I'm driving, I should not be this distracted," He said, running his fingers through his hair. "we are going for a vacation because it is what couples do and you obviously need it." He explained, leaving me to become quiet and lost in my thoughts at the moment.I obviously needed a vacation? He was trying to take me away from the country and the rumours. How long did he think he would keep me there, when we get back, nothing would have changed. People would still criticise. Just when I was training myself not to listen to wha
ASSAULTED CHAPTER THIRTY ONE
~Elizabeth~"I still can't believe that you didn't plan it through," I argued for the umpteenth time and David pretended like he did not hear me."David!" I shouted and he shot his eyes up to look at me."What?" He groaned, slouching deeper into his chair."We're not staying in the same apartment," I said sternly."Still in this argument, it's been hours Elizabeth. And it's just for a few days," he shrugged, picking up the television remote and changing it's channels."Why are we here again?" I crossed my arms and tapped my foot impatiently as I stood above him."I will take care of that, you just need to settle down and enjoy your visitation. It's on me," David turned his head to give me a smirk the turn back to the television. He was the most... impossible person I had ever come come across. It was a family house he got few years back, Beauty lived here too.She was still having lectures but according to David, she would be back in a few hours to come. That was the best assurance fo

~ELIZABETH~"Shh, this is where it gets interesting," David shunned me, placing his hands in my face. The thought of licking it away from my face crossed my mind, but only God knew where the palm had been to so I decided against it. It was almost mid night and we were both still stuck with a movie. Well I was stuck with a movie with him. He insisted on watching it with me around and he made sure that I didn't even get a shut eye. "Can I at least go get water to drink?" I asked for his permission. David was way too focused on the movie to even reply me, but I took it as a yes and I left for the kitchen. It was 11:26pm and Beauty was not home yet. David probably had not noticed yet and I was not exactly planning to bring it to his notice, in case he chose to flare up about the matter. I picking up a bottle of water, I walk back to the living room where I had left David before. "Why are you just coming home?!" David glared. Oh shit."Wait, you actually came," the familiar voice re
