Chapter Nine

Aria's POV

I woke up from my curled up position on the floor and I felt cramps all over my body. After wishing Jake a goodnight last night, I closed the door and leaned against it and slid down and started crying till I fell asleep. I stood up from the floor and opened the door heading for the bathroom. I really needed a shower to get rid of the headache I had.

I took a quick shower and put on the same shirt Jake had given me and headed for the living room. I found Jake standing by the counter shirtless, while drinking his coffee as he was reading a newspaper. He didn't seem to have noticed my presence in the room. I walked towards him and I was about to greet him good morning when I saw my face on the front page of the newspaper.

Jake turned his head towards me and saw me staring at the newspaper.

"Ummm.... if you want I can put it away." He said as he started folding the newspaper but I took it away from.

I turned on the next page to read the story.

It is said that Mr.Watson's daughter, Aria Watson, eloped with her lover.

The newspaper read.

Where did they get such false information? What lover were they talking about?

I started feeling dizzy, I felt all my energy drail away from my body. The newspaper fell from my hands and I felt my knees go weak. I felt strong hands go around my waist.

"Aria!"I heard Jake say before darkness engulfed me.

*******

I woke and found myself in an unfamiliar room. I sat on the bed and looked around and remembered where I was, I was at Jake's place. I had not taken my medication for two days and that is why I fainted earlier, and the situation that I was going through was causing my health to become even worse.

I stood up from the bed and headed for the kitchen to get some water. I stopped in my tracks when I heard voice coming from the living room. I recognized Jake's voice but I did not recognize the other person's voice.

"Are you sure of what you are saying Manuel?" The stranger asked and I heard Jake chuckle before answering.

"I am telling you Matteo, this girl is going to get us a lot of money. At first I was only going to use her as my toy and maybe share her with others so as to earn some money, but when I found she is the daughter of one of the biggest billionaires in the country, I knew we had hit a jackpot."

I let out a gasp and quickly put a hand over my mouth.

"Did you hear?" The stranger asked and I stayed still on my spot, holding my breath.

"Hear what?" Jake asked and I silently prayed that they don't come to see what made the noise.

"It's nothing, maybe I was just hearing things." He said and I sighed in relief.

"Where is the girl anyway?" I heard the stranger ask and my heart skipped a bit. What if they come and find me here? They would know that I know there plans.

"She is in the room sleeping." Jake said.

I slowly turned around and quietly tiptoed back to the room and got back in bed and covered myself.

I heard the door opened and I pretended to be asleep. I had their footsteps getting closer to the bed and I went stiff.

"Why is she so ugly?" I heard Jake's friend ask and I felt a sharp in my chest but I managed to remain stiff.

"I don't know man, maybe she is unlucky and was born like that." Jake said.

"I can't believe that a rich guy's daughter looks like this." Jake's friend said and it reminded me of how my father is ashamed of me and I tried hard to control my emotions as this was not the time to cry.

"Me too. But she has a really nice ass, I would like to have some fun with her sometime." Jake said and mentally gagged.

"We do it then. We will use her to blackmail her father and ask him for a huge amount of ransom. This is going to make us rich, you did well Jake Manuel."

"I know. Now let's get out of here before we wake her up."

I had them walk out and close the door.

I sat up on the bed and run a hand through my hair. I couldn't believe what I just heard, Jake wanted to use me all along, he never wanted to help me but he wanted to take advantage of me. If only they knew that they are not going to get any money out of my father by using me, because my father really didn't care about me.

"I need to get out of here." I said to myself as I stood up from the bed.

I went to the door and put my ear against it and listened for any noises, but I couldn't hear anything.

Maybe they had left.

I slowly opened the door and walked towards the living room. It was empty, this was my chance to escape. As soon as I opened the door I was met by Jake standing on the doorstep.

"Where are you going?" He asked as he came close to me and I took a few steps back.

"Ummm..... actually... I wanted to say thank you so much for your kindness and for letting me stay here but I have found a place to stay." I said as I started going towards the door but he moved and stood in my way.

"You don't need to go anywhere Aria, you can stay here for as long as you like."

"Thank you so much for your offer but I don't want to trouble you." I tried move out of his way but he held my arm.

"And where are you going to stay?" He asked as his hand slowly snaked around my waist.

"I am going to stay at a friend's place." I said as I tried to get out of his hold.

"Where does your friend stay?"

"Umm.... she..... she's staying at......" I was clueless of what to stay.

"I'm not a fool Aria." He said in a low voice as he came closer to my face. I felt shivers run down my spine when he said that.

"You are not going anywhere." He said and I gulped.

"Why...why are... saying that?" I asked in a trembling voice.

"I know you heard me talking to Matteo about our plans, and I know that is why you are trying to escape."

"Well don't bother yourself, because you are not going to get any money out of my father." I said trying to sound tough.

"We'll just see about that." He said as tightened his hold around my waist.

"Let go of me." I tried removing his hand from my waist but he held me even more tightly.

"Stop trying to get out of my hold, because you are not going anywhere."

"That's what you think." I said and move my leg up so that I could hit his weak spot.

"Fuck!" He groaned as he let go of me and I took this as an opportunity to get away.

"Where do you think you are going bitch?" I heard him say as I felt his hand grip my hair, making me yelp in pain.

He roughly pushed me back and I fell down with loud thud. He moved between my legs and gripped my bears thighs. The shirt that I was wearing moved up and I was fully exposed to him.

"Get off of me you psycho!" I yelled at as I tried to get away from him but all my efforts were in vain, he was really strong.

"Shut the fuck up you freak!" He yelled as he started to remove my panties.

Did he just call me ugly freak?

Because you are a useless, worthless and meaningless ugly freak.

My father's words played back in my mind.

I felt tears starting to form in my eyes.

"Don't start crying, I promise you are going to enjoy this." Jake said disrupting me from my thoughts.

I looked up and saw him unbuckling his belt, my panties were thrown to the side and he was smirking while shamelessly staring at me.

I started screaming while screaming for hep, hoping someone would come to my rescue.

"Shut your mouth bitch!" He angrily yelled as he tried to cover my mouth with his hand but I bit it hard.

"Fuck!" He groaned and he hit me hard on the face.

"That will teach you a lesson." He said and I felt blood flowing from my nose.

I started feeling dizzy and I heard him chuckle.

"Help!" I said in a low tone, but I knew nobody is going to here me.

"That's right baby just close your eyes and go to sleep." I heard Jake say before I lost conscious.
