DAVINA'S POV:-
"Who's that?" I asked while trembling in fear, I was breathing hard and my heart was beating rapidly against my ribcage.
"Hello?" I yelled again, but there was no response and for some reason, my brain was screaming at me to get out of this room right away. I turned and stepped ahead, trying to locate where the door was and suddenly someone switched the lights on. I turned around and saw someone, standing near the window, leaning his back to it and with his hands in his pant pockets.
I swallowed hard and tried to control myself, "Who's that?" I managed to ask, I stood still without moving a muscle while staring at the guy in utter fear.
"Don't hurt my feelings by saying you don't remember me, love," he said while walking towards me. My eyes widened when I saw his face and recognized who he was,
"Conan!" I whispered, My legs automatically stepped back while terror hit my bones.
Jesus Christ! How is he here?
I quickly turned and ran towards the door, I was about to open it but he grabbed my hand and turned me abruptly. He pushed me to the door and placed his forearm on my neck, putting pressure on it and cutting my air supply slowly.
I placed my hands on his arm and tried to move it away but he was so strong, "You are mine now," he said chuckling loudly, "That bastard Allen... didn't deserve you... but still, you chose him over me… now! no one's gonna save you from me," he said moving his head to my neck and placing wet kisses over my neck
"Please," I cried and tried to push him away with all my strength but he didn't budge at all.
He grabbed my hands and pinned them over my head and sucked my neck hard, making me cry in pain and disgust. His hands were around my waist, holding me still, while he pressed his front to mine. I cried and struggled to get myself out of his grip but he was strong,
"Stop struggling and give in Davina, I will cherish this body of yours and make you my queen," he whispered, pressing my breasts and kissing my jaw.
"Please leave me," I cried but the lust he had for me made him deaf, all my attempts to get out of his hold was going vain. He easily imprisoned me and dominated me by his body and strength.
I didn't have another choice left, I quickly moved my head to his ear and bit it until I tasted blood, he screamed in pain and removed his hands off my hands and stepped back holding his ear. I quickly took this opportunity to get away from him and rushed out of the room. Tears were running down my eyes and my legs were shaking badly, making it hard for me to run.
As I reached the stairs, I tripped over and fell down with a loud cry as my knees hit the floor and pain shot over my body. Hearing my loud cry the music has stopped and every single person present in the room turned their heads to me.
I got up with difficulty and hurriedly climbed down, looking behind me making sure he's not behind. Jeena rushed to me and helped me,
"What happened, Are you okay?" She asked with concern, Darcy was holding me while wrapping her hands around me and helping me stand.
"He...He," I tried to make words but couldn't, I was crying hard and showing my finger behind me. She looked behind me and stared at me in confusion,
"Miss. Ellis!" She shook me and tried to make me stop crying but I was scared and broken. He came for me, again, Allen saved me from him all those years, but he's not with me anymore and no one's gonna save me from him now.
What will I do now? This question made me cry harder.
While I was weeping, a rough hand grabbed my arm and pulled me towards them, I hissed in pain and gasped when I saw who it was. He was glaring at me and clenching his jaw.
"How dare you," He said through his teeth while clenching his jaw, Jeena stepped ahead and opened her mouth to say something but a deep voice stopped her.
"Conan!" I turned my head and saw Arthur walking towards us with a confused look on his face.
"Is everything alright?" he asked while glancing at me, I stared at him, crying and pleading to save me.
"Arthur, This Bitch over here tried to seduce me for my money and when I declined, she hit me and now created a scene here like I forced myself on her," he said gripping my arm more and looking at me with a disgusted look.
I shook my while crying harder, "No...No… He's…" I tried to say but he cut me off,
"What an actress..." he said, pushing me away and clapping his hands. I stumbled but Jeena caught me and helped me stand.
"I forced myself on you? Like seriously! Look at you… Why would I force myself on someone like you!" he said, looking at me like I was a disgusting thing he ever saw. I was too shocked to react and the past things he did to me flashed in front of my eyes. He laid his eyes on me in my college and did terrible things to get me but Allen never let his hands on me or even look at me.
Allen was always there with me and protected me from Conan but Conan was an asshole when he wanted something he would do everything to get it. He fought with Allen and both ended up in a hospital. Conan's parents got worried about him and took him away from there and I never saw him again.
"He's Lying," I cried, shaking my head, I glanced at Arthur to see him glaring at me, I opened my mouth but he raised his hand and signalled me to stop.
"You! Ms. Ellis… is a disgrace," he said, disgust was evident in his eyes. I was shocked and humiliated. I didn't know what to do and what to say, he was lying and farming me as a whore and everyone was believing him.
How should I prove myself? I cried and when I glanced at Conan and Arthur, I stopped crying, I wiped my tears and took a deep breath. I glimpsed at both and walked towards the main door with my head high.
Such a bitch,
Sluts like her don't belong here!
Whore!
I could hear people whispering things about me but I chose to ignore and walked out of there. While walking out of the mansion I saw Coop standing near the water fountain, his head was lowered and when he saw me, he stepped ahead with guilt in his eyes, "I'm sorry," he said, I ignored his apology and walked out of there.
I hailed a cab and went back to my home. As I reached my flat, I paid the driver and walked inside the apartment. I opened the main door and walked straight to my bedroom. I noticed the confused and worried look on Bella's face but I ignored. I pushed my bedroom door and closed it behind. I slipped down to the floor with my back to the door and pulled my legs to my chest. I broke down, my life is a failure.
I cried and cried, Why? Why me? I know Arthur planned this! He broke my dignity and made me a whore in front of everyone! He wanted this! He wants to see me break and he succeeded in his plan.
I hate my life! I cried myself to sleep with this throbbing pain in my chest. I just wish all this is a nightmare and it would go away when I wake up.
***
I woke up feeling sun rays falling on my face, I tried to block it with my hand and sat up. I blinked my eyes trying to adjust to the sunlight and looked down at myself. I was on the floor, I got confused and suddenly last night's events rushed to my mind making tears fill my eyes. I deeply sighed and got up from the floor and walked towards my bathroom and did my morning duties.
I dressed up and got ready for my office, I love to work even though I had reasons not to go there but I chose my work over everything. It makes me forget everything and makes me feel light.
I had a silent breakfast with Bella and Dulo, after that I drove to the restaurant. As I walked through the lobby everything felt different for me. Those looks and whispers made me feel broken inside and no matter how much I tried to put a straight face I couldn't.
I got inside the elevator and pressed the button, As soon as the doors closed tears ran down my eyes. I wiped them and didn't allow myself to let out any sound from my lips. I gripped my handbag and took a deep breath,
"You can do this, Davina!" I said to myself.
I walked out of the elevator and noticed Jeena and Darcy staring at the phone with a serious expression, hearing my footsteps as they both looked up at me.
"Good morning, Miss. Ellis," both said at a time hurriedly hiding the phone,
"Good morning," I replied, ignoring that action and walking to my office.
"Ah! Miss. Ellis," Called Darcy making me stop and turn back, she walked towards me with a sad expression on her face.
"Mr. Spencer asked you to meet him," She said standing in front of me. I nodded my head and gave her my bag. She took it and walked back to her desk.
I took a deep breath and made myself ready to face him, I can't ignore him after all. As I knocked on the door, he immediately asked to come in. I pushed the door in and stepped in, I saw him smiling while looking at his phone. He looked so happy and satisfied.
"Mr. Spencer," hearing my voice he looked up from his phone.
"Oh! Miss. Davina…" he said while putting his phone down on the desk and leaning his hands on his desk.
"Congratulations, You are all over the internet!" he said, and a smirk was forming on his lips slowly. I refused to react, but I was shocked inside.
"See!" he said, showing me the video of yesterday's events, everything played through the phone. The allegations, my sobs and they put my name as a golddigger, whore, Slut and what not. Tears rolled in my eyes looking at the video but I didn't let them fall down. I stood still, blank face, emotionless eyes.
He moved his phone away and stared at me with a cunning smirk on his lips, "I told you…. That I would destroy you!" he said leaning back on his chair.
He pulled a drawer and took a paper from it and stood up from his chair. He moved in front his desk and placed the paper on it while motioning to come over to his desk, he leaned his back to his desk while I walked towards him and pulled the paper up, "You're fired, I don't want someone like you here," he said with a big victory smile on his face.
I know he would do this eventually and I know what he was expecting me to do. I will never do that Arthur! I will not make myself so low to beg you... for my job. I would choose death over doing that.
I took the pen and signed the paper without waiting a second. I noticed his shocked and confused expression, I gave the paper to him, without looking at him. He took it and stared at me, surprised at my action. I turned around and began walking towards the door but something stopped me, I turned back and without meeting his gaze I raised my hand high and slapped his cheek hard. His face jerked sideways from the impact.
I walked out with a proud smile.
