RUNAWAY (CHAPTER ONE)

Ria laid down on her bed wearing a morose expression on her face. It had been more than a month since her mum died and more than a week since she was buried.

Ria was deeply affected by her demise. She partly blamed herself for her mum's death since she had died on the day of her eighteenth birthday. Her mum had gone all out to make the day special for her and got into an accident when she drove out to pick up the birthday present she had prepared for her.

If it weren't for her birthday, her mum would have still been alive. She regretted being born on that day. She was still wallowing in her guilt when a sudden sound startled her, she quickly got up from her bed as she wondered who it was.

She lived with only her stepdad and he had been so overcome by his grief after her mum died. He was currently at his sister's so Ria knew she was supposed to be alone.

Could it be a thief? She suddenly began to panic and switched on the lights. It was already past nine and she didn't real anyone in the city.

She had moved to this city about three months ago when she graduated from high school, because her mum had gotten married to Arthur, her stepdad.

She didn't like the man but her mum was in love with him. Her mum had been her best friend and she knew that her mum longed to be with another man after her father died so, she had followed her mum all the way from Boston to San Jose without complaining, in order to make her happy.

Now, her mum had died and left her behind. She had no other family except for her late mum and now she was stuck with her stepdad. She had a few friends back in Boston but they were all getting ready for college just like her.

With her mum gone, she knew she would have to get a job as she couldn't rely on her stepdad to pay her college tuition.

She picked up the lamp beside her bed and slowly tiptoed out of the room, ready to use the lamp on the head of whoever the intruder was.

She was surprised when she got to the living room and saw Arthur. "Geez! You scared me" Ria said and dropped her hands down.

"Sorry about that kid" Arthur replied. Ria observed him for a while and noticed that he seemed anxious. She thought about asking him what the problem was but decided against it before the words could leave her mouth.

She didn't care that much about him and concluded that he was probably still grieving over her mum's death.

She turned her back on him and began walking back into the room. Before she could get to her door however, she felt someone grab her from the back.

She dropped the lamp in the process, causing its glass to shatter on the floor. She knew Arthur was the one behind her because they were the only ones at home and, at first, she wondered what he was trying to do.

When he pushed her into her room and threw her on the bed, Ria immediately understood what was about to happen.

She was completely shocked. Despite the fact that she didn't like Arthur, she had always believed that he loved her mum and never in her wildest dreams had she envisaged what was about to happen to her.

Ria tried to get up but Arthur pinned her down with his hands. "What do you think you are doing?" She asked as she struggled to break free. "My mum was your wife, aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

"Shut the fuck up" Arthur yelled angrily. "You are the reason why your mum is dead, you took her from me so it is only right that you satisfy my needs in her stead."

After speaking, Arthur held Ria's two hands with his left hand. He was tall and huge and although Ria was also tall, she was no match for him.

He unzipped his trouser with his right hand and freed his throbbing cock from his trouser. When Ria saw his cock, she opened her mouth to scream but he covered it with his hand.

He let go of her hands and used his left hand to rip her gown open, revealing her succulent breasts and pink-coloured panties.

Realizing that her hands were now free, Ria poked her fingers into his eyes and scratched all over his face.

He yelped in pain and in return, slapped her face with all his might and punched her so hard in her stomach.

The pain Ria felt was so severe that for a moment her whole body stilled and her vision became blurry.

She began to beg him to have mercy and let her go but he was way consumed by desire at this point. He hungrily grabbed her breasts and began to suck on them like a hungry animal.

Ria cried as she felt disgusted and kept begging him to stop. This was no way to lose her virginity and she knew that she would always be scarred if she lost it to him.

He paid deaf ears to her pleas and moved lower. When he tried to take off her panties, Ria saw an opening and kneed his balls with all the strength she could muster.

He screamed in pain and instinctively held his balls as he fell on her body. She quickly pushed him off of her, got up, and, ran out of the house.

She didn't have time to put on any shoes or proper clothes as all she could think about was getting away from Arthur.

Her gown was already torn so she had to keep holding it in order to cover her breasts. It was quite late so, there weren't many people on the road.

After running for a while, she got tired. She stood by the side of the road and began to cry. She had no idea where to go since she was new in town and didn't really know anywhere.

She had spent most of her time cooped up at home, initially because she had just moved into the city and later because she lost her mum. With no phone and no one to trust, she didn't know where else to go to.

She was still crying when she saw a Bentley approaching her and quickly recognized it. Arthur had found her, with what she did to him, she didn't know what he was going to do to her and she wasn't willing to find out.

She started running again and did not stop to look behind her until she bumped into the most handsome man she believed she had ever seen.
