The first thing Taylor felt when she opened her eyes the next morning was pain in her lower body. She felt someone cover her with a duvet and glanced up to see Becky. Becky smiled, the lines on her face creasing. Taylor sighed and closed her eyes again, recalling the horrible night she had just been through. Her hatred for Andrew finally reached its peak. She clenched and unclenched her fists numerous times in anger. “Mr. Radford left an hour ago for the company.” Becky disclosed, probably trying to earn a reaction from Taylor. However, Taylor struggled to get up, wincing in pain. Andrew had torn off her clothes last night, so she could only wrap the duvet around her body and limp to the room. With each step she took, the pain from her stretched muscles multiplied until she got to her room. She walked into the bathroom only to see Becky had prepared her bath. She soaked in the warm bath for more than an hour, thinking of how pathetic her life had become. After a while, she took
“Delete the tweet and tell the public that it isn't what they think.” Taylor pleaded, almost going down on her knees. After Derek showed her Daniel's tweet, she immediately reached out to Daniel and asked for them to meet in secret. “Why?” Daniel raised a brow before scoffing. Then he leaned towards her and asked, “Why should I do that? You were my girlfriend before your sudden marriage to that brat Andrew. We didn't even break up. So why should I apologize for hugging my girlfriend?” Taylor clenched her jaw tightly. She already knew how this was going to end. But she was desperate for it not to end that way, or she'd be screwed by Andrew. She was about to say something when her phone, which she placed on the table before her, vibrated. Taylor hesitated. Seeing her hesitate, Daniel reached out to take the phone. He chuckled when he saw the caller and showed it to her. “Andrew is calling.” Taylor trembled in fear. He was calling. Her body twitched uncomfortably, recalling the pai
“This is Derek Vaughn, please leave a message if I don't answer the phone.” The automated voice came up for the nth time. Taylor threw her phone against the wall, smashing it into pieces in anger. Today was the 30th day, she had been locked up in her room by Andrew after being accused of frolicking with Daniel. It was also her 30th time being sexually punished by him. Taylor shivered when she glanced at the time. It was 3pm already, and it was only a matter of 2 hours before Andrew would be back to make her life a living hell. She heard a knock on the door, but ignored it as she sprawled on her bed, her back turned to the door. Just like she expected, she heard the door unlocking before it was pushed open. “You should eat something, Mrs. Radford.” Becky said as she walked in and placed the food she had brought with her on Taylor's beside table. Taylor had her eyes wide open, but didn't bother acknowledging Becky's presence. Becky stayed in the room for a while before she breath
Ramos killed the engine of the Rolls-Royce boat tail in front of Andrew's house and got out of it to open the door for Taylor. She alighted from the car and her body visibly began trembling badly when her eyes settled on Andrew's Jaguar which was properly parked in the garage. She clenched her fist tightly to stabilize her trembling body and inhaled deeply to calm herself. However, none of it helped as the thought of Andrew forcing himself on her again like he had been doing for the past few days crippled the boldness she had left in her. "Mrs. Radford, Mr. Radford says you have three minutes to meet him in the wine room." Taylor had just walked into the house when a maid stopped in front of her and passed her Andrew’s message before continuing on her way. Taylor gulped down nervously, gripping her clothes tightly as the fear she was trying so hard to keep away, overwhelmed her. After standing still for more than a minute, she subconsciously glanced at the time before she began
The familiar beeping sound of the heart monitor machine echoed in Taylor's ears the moment she opened her eyes before her other sense organs began reacting to everything else. She first noticed the room smelt antiseptic smell and the first colors she saw was that of the room’s white walls and blue curtains. The hospital. She was in the hospital. She had fallen unconscious in the wine room while being electrocuted by Andrew and while unconscious, her brain had blocked her from feeling feeling pain. Joe that she regained consciousness, a sudden wave of intense pain swept through her body, causing her to wince and shut her eyes, the vein in the middle of her forehead bulging in pain. “You were out for is long I thought you were going to die." Her reddened eyes flew open and she glanced to the direction of the voice to see Nicholas leaning on the wall in a corporate outfit. Taylor blinked her eyes at him numerous times, slowly recollecting she had heard him screaming something just b
Taylor sighed and tried to sit up on the bed when she smelt antiseptic in the air and saw white walls and blue curtains for the second time that day. However, Sherry who had been anxiously waiting for her to wake up, hurriedly ran to her side and gently pushed her back to the bed. “You shouldn’t try to get up, ma’am. The doctor says you need a lot of rest.” Taylor ignored her and glanced at the wall clock. If she remembered correctly, it had only been a few minutes to 11 when she was in that field preparing to shoot the advertisement. So why was it 2:27pm already when she had only taken a nap for a few minutes?“Sherry, didn’t you say we have things scheduled for today? If we don’t leave now, I’ll be breaching my contract with Glass House Entertainment.” She shook her head at Sherry’s words and mumbled tiredly, trying to sit up again. Sherry pushed her back to the bed like she did the first time and slowly turned on the television in the ward. It was a breaking news where a repor
Taylor and Daniel continued cuddling in the ward for several minutes, unaware of the video circulating on the internet about them.Suddenly, the door to the ward was pushed open from the outside, and three patrol officers walked in, one of them flashing a warrant in Daniel's face as the other two helped him out of the bed and handcuffed him outright."What is this nonsense? What do you think you're doing?" Daniel lashed out at them in confusion.The one with the warrant took it closer to Daniel's eyes, then dropped his hand beside him as he read out his rights."Mr. Holt, you are under arrest for breaching the restraining order you were served. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law."You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you?""What are you doing? What order are you talking about?" Taylor got off the bed and
"I have an elder sister, and that girl hasn't for once taken my side in anything. She doesn't even try to protect me when I've done something wrong, and my parents are punishing me. Oh, what I would do to have a sister like you!""I've never seen a pure soul like you in my entire years of living. The world would be a better place if we had more people like you!""I agree with the comment above mine, Ms. Fairchild. But we all know you're a pure soul who loves your sister very much despite how badly she treats you. But people might misinterpret this video into thinking you're siding with her."Elizabeth sat in her office, slowly going through the hundreds of comments on her computer, which kept adding by the second the more she read, with a bright smile on her face.She paused when she got to the comment that said people would misinterpret the video into her siding with Taylor and chuckled, leaning back in her chair.She rubbed the back of her neck gently while her other hand played aro
