I stare at Matthew blankly. My eyes popping out and my mouth hanging wide open in utter shock as his words echo inside my head.
_You are dropping the charges._
I scoff, shaking my head in disbelief.
Matthew didn't just say that. He didn't fucking tell me to drop the charges.
"What?" I ask.
I want him to say the words again, I heard him the first time but I am having a hard time believing that those words came from him.
He glances at me.
"You are not going to write a statement against Luther."
God! This is so unbelievable. Matt wants me to drop the charges against a man that attempted to rape me? I honestly don't know what I was expecting, but I certainly didn't expect him to side with Luther at all.
Ain't he supposed to be angry at him? Like extremely furious?
He is not supposed to be okay with the fact that anothe
"Are you okay?" Ava asks when I get closer to her desk and I nod. "You don't look okay." She observes, concern masking her pretty face."I am okay, Ava." She raises a skeptical eyebrow at me. "Really," I add, forcing a smile at her."That there is a sad smile, it is betraying you." She says, a frown forming on her face and I take a deep breath in an attempt to calm myself down."You are a perceptive one, huh?" I ask leaning slightly on the desk and she chuckles."Always." And then she assumes a serious face. "You know you can talk to me about anything, right?" I open my mouth to say a casual yes, but she beats me to it. "We haven't known each other for a long time but I am here anytime you need someone to talk to." I smile at her, a genuine smile this time.Ava is such a darling.
My head is completely buried in the crook of Enzo's neck and my arms are both wrapped tightly around his neck as I focus on letting everything out.Every pain, every ache, every frustration, and every single tear that I have been striving to hold back the entire day comes gushing down my cheeks to his shirt. He doesn't seem to care that I am ruining his pristine outfit with my tears.He holds me tight, his right arm wrapped firmly around my waist as his other hand fondles my back, rocking me back and forth.I am sobbing bitterly, pain coursing through me as today's scenes play in my head chronologically. I don't hold anything back and with every tear that falls, my heart feels magically lighter. I cry until I drain my tear duct until no more tears come out. Until I am out of breath.And I don't pull away, I stay buried in his neck, eyes shut tight as I try to control my heavy breaths and
Enzo grabs my hand when we get to the entrance and he forces a smile to the blonde officer as we stride past the counter to the stairway.He is gripping my wrist so tight, he doesn't seem to notice that he is hurting me as he dash up, taking two stairs at a time and I am practically flying, trying real hard to keep up with his pace."Enzo," I call him, trying to yank my hand away but either he chooses to ignore me or he doesn't hear me. I have my money on the latter.I think he had zoned out. He seems to be in his own world, a world where I don't exist yet I am standing a few inches away."Enzo!" I yell, pulling out of his grip with all my might and I end up reeling back but fortunately he is quick to catch me, letting go of my hand in the process. "What the hell!" I cuss, holding him tighter and I heave a sigh of relief once I am on my feet again.I almost hit the ground, and I would have rol
I stare daggers at Smith when he stops a few meters away and it's taking everything in me to keep calm.I hate his ass, and I want to smack his ugly face so hard.These greedy and corrupt people make the world the worst place especially for the poor and the helpless, and as long as they exist, justice will never be served. Corruption is the worst barrier to justice and money is the worst thing that ever happened to humanity."Yes, sir." He gives Daniel a salute and then he nods at Enzo, entirely ignoring my presence."Did you order the release of Luther West?" Daniel asks him."Yes, sir, there was no sufficient evidence." He says shamelessly.I scoff and shake my head."There was no sufficient evidence?" Daniel asks, squinting eyes at him and his voice slightly raised. "What happened to the photos that Mercy took?"An expression I
I halt suddenly, taking Enzo's hand and I hastily pull him a step back. He whips his head towards me, narrowing his eyes at me suspiciously."Are you okay?" He asks, his eyes searching my face intently and I nod before shaking my head, causing a confused expression to cross his face."Matthew is here." I say, pointing my head towards Matt and company and I feel Enzo tensing besides me when he sights Matthew.He sets his jaw furiously and his hands are fisted on either side, eyes glaring at Matthew. Ever seen a provoked caged lion? That's the same look that Enzo has on his face, like he desperately wants to tear Matthew down into bitsy pieces until he is no more.Something tells me that this won't end well. Enzo and Matt in the same place, separated by a small distance? This can't end well.Enzo is furious at Matthew for planting drugs in his car and about the whole Luther thing. On
Newsflash: Dad just hit Matt!I guess he is in a slapping spree today but that doesn't matter. He just slapped Matt and I am a proud daughter right now, I can't help the smile that curves on my lips.Honestly, I have never thought that my father could stand against Matt for me or anyone for that matter. Dad is such a booty licker and he has always bowed down to Matt.I glance at Matthew and my smile pulls into a grin. I am trying so hard to suppress my laughter but watching him wince in obvious pain as he rubs his face softly is making it so hard.His cheeks are flushed, the veins in both his arms and forehead are popping out and his entire body is jerking in rage."I am so sorry, baby." Celine tells Matt, taking him in her arms and I break down into fits of laughter when she starts to rub his back, shushing him like a newborn.He is such a mama's boy.
"Matt is such an asshole. God! I hate him so much right now." Sky says bitterly, wiping her tears with the back of her hands.She has been crying endlessly for the past ten minutes while listening to me and I have been busy filling her in, as we wait for Lydia to come back.I have told her the hell that I have been through. How Matthew cost me my job, how I signed an agreement with him, Luther's attempt to rape me, how Matthew destroyed the evidence against Luther. I have told her everything except that she is my sister.You don't know how hard I am trying not to spill it, but for her own sake I will have to wait till she is better. Lydia doesn't want Sky to know the truth, I guess I will be the one to break the news to her."That makes the two of us, I hate him with every single cell in my body." I say blinking to keep my tears from falling."I thought he loved you. I didn't
I glance at Sky and my heart breaks apart, literally, when she smiles at me. I swear I hate that feeble smile plastered on her face. Sky has never looked this pale and this weak and seeing her like this hurts like hell.I know she is in deep pain and she is trying so hard to act strong for me but something tells me that she will break apart the moment I step out of this room.She is hurting both physically and emotionally and I know how it feels having someone forcing himself on you, the heart aches are out of this world.All I want to do is erase the painful scenes of Luther trying to rape me out of my mind, I want to forget everything that happened in that office but my sister has two painful stabs on her thighs and that will always be a constant reminder that her boss from hell tried to force himself on her.A scar will always makes sure that the memories are lingering somewhere inside your head
