As she walked home that night along the valley, she heard a group of four guys chattering behind her but she never paid attention to them as she was so engrossed with thinking about what could have happened to her family. What was on her mind that night, was to get home as fast as she could and find out what was going on but she never knew that wasn’t going to happen.The group of four guys were coming back from the club and they were heavily drunk. They all seemed to be in college and should be around the same age as that of Kevin.They had lost their senses of reasoning and were just walking along the valley, sprouting nonsense. One of them seemed to have noticed Ellie who was walking in front of them and that was where everything began.“Wait guys, don’t you love the skirt that girl is putting on?”, the guy, whose eyes had fallen on Ellie said, shifting the attention of the other guys to her.“Wow!!!! Her skirt seems nice, exposing her smooth thighs. I love her thighs and all I want
Ellie was all caught up in fear and the only thing she could think about at that moment was an escape route. She rose up to her feet and ran as fast as she could but she didn’t run far before Clark’s friends got a hold of her. She was dragged back to where Clark was standing, with him laughing hysterically and bringing out a packet of cigarette from his back pocket, getting ready to smoke.“I am sorry. I didn’t mean to say all I said. It was just a slip of tongue”, Ellie said, pleading vehemently, while kneeling in front of Clark, who was now puffing his cigarette.“You are sorry? Are you getting scared already pumpkin? Thought you said you didn’t give a fuck about me, so why are you pleading now?”, Clark asked, trying to mock and ridicule Ellie, who he was aware that, she was anxious and scared.“Please, just forgive me for all that I said. I am sorry”, Ellie kept on pleading, hoping Clark would have a change of mind and let her go.“Forgiveness? That word is not in my dictionary. Yo
As soon as he saw her, he rushed to where she was lying. He covered her up with her clothes that were scattered on the floor and held her in his arms.“Ellie, I am sorry I came late. I am sorry I didn’t come to pick you up at the convenience store. If I had, this wouldn’t have happened. Who did this to you? Is it someone you know?’, Kevin queried Ellie, who was just lying motionless in his arms and was tearing up without saying a word. She just kept on crying with Kevin apologizing over and over again as he felt it was his fault that had happened to her. Amidst her crying, Ellie passed out, which got Kevin scared.“Ellie, Ellie, are you still with me?”, Kevin asked, jerking Ellie’s body but he got no response from her. Without wasting time, he carried her on his back and rushed her to a nearby hospital. She was admitted and was given proper treatment after Kevin had narrated what had happened to her to the nurse. While at the reception, Kevin kept blaming himself for getting carried
Ellie was quickly attended to and the bleeding was stopped. After having her arm stitched, she was taken back to the ward, with her granny and Kevin by her side. She was sedated and had fallen into a deep sleep, unaware of what was gong on around her. As granny watched her, she felt sadness and guilt within her and at the same time, felt anger towards the person that made her granddaughter this way. All she prayed for at that moment was for Ellie to wake up and narrate what exactly had happened to her. She promised herself to get justice for Ellie, no matter what it would cost her.Night came and Ellie still hadn’t woken up. Kevin who had briefly gone home to check up on Carla, was expecting to meet her awake on getting back to the hospital but he had met her, still sleeping soundly. In the process of the wait for her to wake up, both granny and Kevin slept off, only to be awoken by the yelling and cries of Ellie in the middle of the night. This cries of hers, woke the other patients
In no time, the attention of the media was drifted to Ellie, with the light of their cameras, flashing across her face.“What do you mean by that? Are you saying he is the one who hurt you?”, granny asked with a shaky voice, facing Ellie to confirm what she had just said. “Yes”, she nodded in affirmation, sobbing. Granny, who couldn’t hold back her anger anymore upon seeing the man who had raped her granddaughter, dashed at Clark. She held his suit and slapped him across the face as many times as she could, without giving him a breathing space. Even under this condition, Clark still put on a devilish smile, as if mocking granny for wasting her energy. This got granny more upset and she continued to hit him as hard as she could. With the help of the bodyguards, Clark was freed from grandma’s hold. This caused an uproar in the ward, with the media, taking note of every little information they could gather.Carlos Wordsworth, Clark’s father was an aspiring politician at that time, who wa
‘I am pregnant’, Sophia said with a smile on her face and her voice filled with mix of excitement and apprehension.‘What? Is it for him?’, Richard asked with a sharp voice, his voice narrowing in suspicion.‘No, it’s for you. It has been two months since he touched me. You are the only man who had sex with me of recent and I am just two weeks gone’, Sophia said with her words hanging in the air expecting Richard to say something.‘This is not the right time for you to be pregnant for me. If it is for him, that’s fine, as it would hasten up our plans but not for me’, Richard said with a dissatisfying look on his face.‘What the hell are you trying to insinuate now? Are you trying to tell me to get rid of my baby?’, Sophia asked with her confusion turning into anger and trying to decipher what was going on in Richard’s head.‘You will have to do that if there is need for us to do so. Edward can’t know about our relationship now. We are just a few steps away from achieving our aims and
The day Catherine gave birth, Daniel wasn’t by her side at the hospital as he was with his lover, and he actually cared less about the fact that his wife was in the labor room trying her best possible to give birth to his heir. After the birth of Edward, Catherine could care less about Daniel’s behavior as she had Edward as her companion. She nourished Edward with all the love she could and transferred all the love she had for Daniel to him. She and Edward were close and shared a strong mother and son bond.Years went by and Daniel hadn’t changed his attitude towards his family. He loved neither his wife nor his son and only saw them as instruments to keep being in control of his father’s company. Through the years, Catherine had Edward and Molie by her side and she felt not the need to get Daniel’s attention again. Molie too had gotten her dream lover whose identity she didn’t disclose, and they had a kid together. Catherine tried meeting with Molie’s man so many times, but Molie kep
As Catherine sat behind the wheels with her hands gripping the steering wheels tightly, she felt a sense of numbness as though the world around her had lost its color and meaning. Catherine drove with no destination in mind, with the road ahead seeming endless, stretching out before her without purpose. Each passing mile brought a new wave of emotions like anger, sadness, confusion and despair washing over her like a tidal wave.As she drove, she cried as Daniel’s words echoed over and over again in her mind. She couldn’t believe the man whom she had loved her whole life and was willing to do anything to make him hers would betray her like that and her best friend, Molie who she had been sharing her pains and worries with was actually the one behind the pain and the worries. The images of the betrayal she had gotten from her husband and her friend kept on replaying in her head, tormenting her.Her journey seemed like an unending one and as she drove, her thoughts were somewhere else,
