"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
"What?" I gasp, utterly shocked. "Matthew paid Luther to send my mother into a coma?" I ask rhetorically, shaking my head in disbelief.Just when I thought I have seen the worst that Matthew can do, just when I thought that taking Luther's side and destroying evidence against him is the worst thing that he can do, I am slapped with this.Matthew paid Luther to send my mother into a comatose.You have no idea how that makes me feel. I am hella furious and I want to hit him so hard, I want to hurt him and teach him a lesson that he will never ever forget."Why would he do that? I mean, to what end?"I know I am asking the wrong person the right questions but I can't help it."You know him?" Ric asks me and I nod."He is my husband." I say, a lump forming in my throat when I say 'my husband', almost choking me."Your
What the fuck is she doing here wearing nothing but Matthew's shirt?Is she here to seduce him again?But how the hell did she even get inside the house?I guess the last question answers the first two.Wendy wouldn't be in Matt's house if he didn't let her in. I think the two are fucking around again or they probably never stopped. I bet on the second one.I am standing a few inches away from the door, startled, as I watch Wendy walk down the stairs, taking one step at a time but her eyes are entirely on her phone screen.This is the first time that I am seeing her after the wedding day and I don't know what I am supposed to feel.There is a part of me that is hurting as I stare at the woman that Matthew cheated on me with, a part of me is furious because she kept it a secret, but the massive part is feeling sorry for her.
"OH MY GOD! WENDY!" I scream while kneeling on the floor besides her, careful not to cut myself on shards of glass from the flower vessel.Matt usually places two glass flower vase on either side of the stairway, and Wendy knocked one down, breaking it into pieces.I examine her closely and I sigh in relief when I notice that the blood pooling on the marble floor is gushing from her arm._Thank God!_I thought she hit her head to a point of bleeding which is very dangerous but that is not the case, she has a fresh cut on her upper left arm that seems so very deep if the amount of blood gushing out is anything to go by, and she needs some first aid before she is rushed to the hospital for stitches.She starts to writhe, wincing in pain while she rubs her belly with her right hand and that reminds me that she is pregnant and she might loose the baby."Shit!"&nbs
DISCLAIMER!!!THE CHAPTER CONTAINS GRAPHIC SEXUAL ASSAULT. IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE READING THAT, KINDLY SKIP TO THE NEXT PART."Please don't do it. Please." I beg him, tears rolling down my cheeks and he shakes his head."We are married and married couples have sex all the time, Jo. I don't know why you are making it such a big deal." I cut him off."You are furious and you are forcing it."He gives me an evil grin."You are right about the first part, I am furious as hell. I want to strangle you so bad but I love you too much to hurt you that way. I can't hurt you, it is the last thing I would think of."Wow.He loves me? Then I guess I don't know what love is."So you would rather rape me instead?" I ask, wiping my tears from my cheeks furiously."Rape?" He raises his eyebrows at me, innocently. "I
I am coiling myself up on the couch completely naked, trembling from the cold, my mind a million miles away and by the time it strikes me that I should cover up, Enzo is already standing besides me. I can't see his face from this position, but I can see his legs and I feel his eyes on me.I want to quickly grab my torn dress from the floor and cover my nakedness but I can't even lift my finger. I feel so numb and so weak, I just lay there completely exposed and very conscious.Enzo cusses under his breath as he covers me from chest to my mid-thigh with his jacket and then he kneels besides me.He stares at me for a long second and in his eyes, I can see a hint of fury and concern and compassion and another emotion that I can't make out.He reaches to touch my face and I recoil. I know this is Enzo and deep down I know he can't hurt me but I can't help it. I feel so paranoid."
"We have a bathroom in case you want to clean yourself up." Isabell, the forensic nurse, tells me after she is done examining and doing a few vaginal swabs on me."Thank you but I would rather do that in the house." I say, getting out of the examination bed.I have been lying on the bed for the past thirty minutes, legs wide apart and I was starting to feel numb."Are you on birth control?" She asks, walking towards the desk as I follow her."Nope.""Please have a seat, I will be right back."She disappears to another room on the left and I sit on the chair to wait for her.A few seconds later, she walks back carrying a glass of water and three blister packs and she places the glass on the desk, right in front of me."Here," she hands me a pack of emergency pills. "You will take one tablet and the other one s
Celine stands there, startled. I know she didn't expect to find me here and neither did I and I can't help but speculate why she is here.She looks like she just woke up, jumped from the bed and drove here. I can bet anything that she didn't even take a shower and my only guess is that Matty already told her what happened that is why she looks super distressed so early in the morning.Because her precious son was arrested.Matthew spent just a night in jail and she already looks like this??I can't wait to see her two week from now because I know Matthew is not getting out and Celine will be depressed to death.I stand there waiting for her to scold me, call me names, slap me, snap at me asking what I am doing in his son's office or do all of the above but to my surprise, she does neither of those things."Jo?" She calls my name after a long silence and
