The sound of voices which surrounded her was what helped her finally open her eyes but she quickly closed them when the bright lights had hit her eyes. They were weak and sore from crying but she managed to open them finally. With great difficulty she forced herself up whimpering in pain. Her lower back was hurting badly but the worst was the severe pain that shot through between her thighs as she sat up on the huge soft bed. She groaned again before her eyes slowly moved to beneath her thighs. Dried blood covered her thighs and the sheet she was on. Then she began to remember everything; Tears rushed to her eyes as the earlier events began to fill her mind. She was raped, brutally and that too by her boss.
"And the slut is finally up!" A familiar voice said full of sarcasm. She turned to see many faces surrounding her. Anne, Lucas and her boss Quincy were the first ones she saw. She realized she was naked and her chest was bare so she quickly dragged the blanket up to cover herself as she continued to stare at them in shock.
" No need to cover yourself after what you had done!" Anne snapped at her shooting daggers at her through the hard stare she was giving her. But as if that wasn't enough, a familiar figure moved from the doorway and she gasped; " Mother!" She exclaimed.
Not only her mother but her brother RidWan was also present glaring at her with disgusted eyes. Dragging the blanket along with her, she forced herself on her weak and shaking legs.She was hit again by the pain from her lower body and had to fall back on the bed.
Lydia, her mother approached her angrily; " How could you do this to us huh?" She charged at her forcing her up by pulling her hand. She wasn't given a chance to explain as a slap landed on her cheek and she landed on the ground. Lydia pulled her up again and added another slap on her cheek; " Couldn't you even think about your family's honor and reputation before involving yourself in this..." she stressed as she eyed her from head to toe " In this immoral and disgraceful act?"She spat at her.
" Mother.. he...."Another slap from her mother prevented her from speaking. She didn't expect what happened next as her mother pounced on her and began hitting her with one of her heeled shoes. She was screaming as she tried effortlessly to prevent the thrashing with her hands. How come no one was helping her? Are they happy seeing her being thrashed by her mother?
RidWan then came to her aid by pulling their mother off her; " Stop it Mother!" He said trying to calm her down " This won't change anything she had already disgraced all of us with her wayward act and mostly by getting involved with someone like him!"He hissed disgustedly as his gaze moved to Quincy who stood there watching with confused and mainly angry eyes.
He let go of their mother and quickly charged at him holding him by the collar of the grey fitting shirt he had on " You!"he began furiously still holding onto his collar tightly; "How dare you mislead her?"He demanded. Her? Not his loving sister anymore? Did he now feel ashamed to call her his sister? Her crying intensified. Why isn't anybody asking her for an explanation? She watched on from her position on the ground as Quincy struggled to get RidWan's hands off his shirt: " Don't dare accuse me as I can't remember a thing about what had happened or how she got here!"He defended himself. He was very furious. " You dare lie when we all saw you both all cuddled up on this bed naked?"
RidWan was also losing it. Quincy gave him an evil glare; " Ohh really, you are blaming me when the person whom you should blame most is this whore you call a sister!" He moved so they were standing face to face.
Usually, the RidWan she knew would have killed the person who dared to disrespect her but now he only stood quietly.
"I don't remember how I got drunk and anything that happened after but maybe she does!"he pointed at her with an accusing finger and his gaze went to Anne. His eyes softened when he stared at her; " Baby, believe me I don't remember a thing but I know for sure that she took advantage of my drunken mood for things to happen between us, you know I wouldn't stoop so low to sleep with someone like her" he held her shoulders trying to convince her. Anne nodded " Right, we shouldn't blame him for her slutty act but instead she should tell us what brought her to her boss' house when she should be at work with her fellow coworkers?"
What? Really? She couldn't believe her ears. Wasn't Anne the same person who asked her to bring the papers to his house? No, she shook her head as tears continued to roll down her cheeks. She had to defend herself or else she would be made to carry all the blame. She helped herself up, holding back from wincing due to pain she felt. She approached Anne so they were standing face to face; " Why are you trying to defame me when you were the same person who asked me to bring the papers to him at his house according to the manager's order?" She questioned her in a low voice. Anne's eyes widened in shock expressing that she was lying.
" When did you and I have this conversation? Not only are you a slut, you are also a professional liar!"Anne yelled at her. She shook her head as she slowly dragged herself towards Lucas who had been quiet the whole time. She held unto the blanket which was wrapped around her tightly in order not to slip off her body.He avoided her eyes as she stared at him.
" Did you give her the order to deliver to me?" She asked him with pleading eyes hoping he would help her but he broke her little hope by shaking his head "No, I don't remember giving her that order!" He said almost in a whisper. She shook her head in disbelief " Why are you both lying!" She yelled amidst tears.
" Don't you feel pity for me that I was raped? Why why?" Her voice echoed through out the room.
Lydia who due to shame had been crying silently charged at her " Enough now!" She yelled at her. She held her and began to shake her furiously; " Are you happy now that you have disgraced us huh?" She questioned her but she stood there numb and lost in her thoughts. " Thank your God that your father is out of this country or else he would have killed you!" She continued to shake her roughly. RidWan moved to restrain her by holding both her hands.
" Stop wasting your energy on her mother, the harm had already been done!" He consoled her. " Let's leave!" He said slowly. " I bet you already know that you have no place in our house or family right?"Lydia announced to her horror. What? Are they abandoning her when she needed them most? When she needed someone to share her pain with? Her eyes became blurry with new tears threatening to fall. " I don't want to ever see you again; from now on you cease to be my daughter" She couldn't believe those words were coming from her mother; Her best friend!
Quincy Brown; she looked at him. He had really shattered her life but that was the least of her worries as she remembered her father. Her heart skipped a beat; he would really kill her.
"Let's go mother!" RidWan said finally as he dragged their reluctant mother out of the room. Now she was left with those people but they were the least of her worry as she sat on the ground and began weeping bitterly. Lucas was the one who was looking at her with sympathy. His eyes were on the blood stained blanket wrapped around her fragile body. She must be badly hurt judging by the amount of blood which had soaked the sheets on the bed and the ones which were recently slipping between her legs but who was he to care when he couldn't help her. He was full of regret but it was too late.
"Stupid Slut!"Anne snarled at her before walking out of the room too. Quincy who was still furious roughly picked her up from the ground. He held onto her shoulders tightly, his fingers digging into her skin; " I want you out of my house by the next five minutes and I don't want to ever see you near me or any of my properties or else I will make sure you rot in jail!" He informed her and threw her on the floor.
" Ahh!" She cried in pain as her lower back hit the edge of the bed. She slid on the floor crying loudly. Why Her? Just why her?
" Get your slutty self out of my house immediately!" He yelled for the last time before vacating the room. Lucas followed shortly after.
She was left alone. Left to carry all the accusation.
She managed to get herself into her shredded dress and vacated the room. She was in too much pain as each step she took only made the pain worse. But she managed to get to the stairs with the help of the nearby wall. Taking one stair at a time, she winced severally as she descended the stairs and got to the last after about fifteen minutes.
She saw that there were servants present in the house. But they weren't around when she arrived earlier. It was probably late as darkness was beginning to overcome the light outside. She stumbled and almost fell but was held by an elderly woman.
"Are you alright?" The woman asked her with concern. She nodded slowly but later winced. The woman looked her over with shocked eyes " What happened to you?" She asked her. She only gave her a sad stare as she continued walking. " Jane, get me a glass of water!" Someone ordered her. It was Quincy. He then noticed her.
" Why aren't you gone yet?" He asked her pissed. She never paid attention to him as she continued walking slowly. The woman, Jane was still staring at her sadly.
"Jane, why aren't you getting my water yet?"His annoyed voice demanded. " I will get it now"She obeyed his order by disappearing behind the nearby door.She could feel his eyes piercing through her body as she got to the doorway to leave the house in which her worst nightmare came to past.
The house in which her innocence was stolen. Not only that but her rapist had denied doing anything to her while she was falsely accused. This day would continue to hunt her throughout her life. The worst day of her life.
