I lay on my bed reading one of my novels, it's been a very busy day in uncle Luke's office as he had entertained a lot of guests and I had to serve all of the tea.
I am sure my uncle is not aware of the reasons I usually insist on going with him to his office, I am positive he just thought I love to be with his assistance as well as loved to serve tea.
For all the years I have been staying at my uncle's house I have kept Sabstine's harassment to myself just as his mother had advised I do.
I have been staying with my uncle for five years now, and I count time and seasons, just waiting for when freedom will be granted.
My uncle had enrolled me in school after the first four months and now I am through with college hoping to gain admission into university soon and gain my freedom.
I graduated from college three months ago and instantly bugged my uncle to let me go with him to his office instead of wasting away at home
When my disturbance to be a part of his workforce became constant to him, he had crafted out a job for me in his office, which is to serve him and his assistance hot coffee anytime, they need it
I also run an errand they want, anything to be off from Sebastian's air or his mother lashing tongue.
Did I forget to mention that my uncle's wife did nothing to leave me in peace? She says anything she thinks of to destroy my confidence
She says or do anything to kill my morals, destroy who I thought I am, but I have confidence in me, and who will find me in all of her verbal assort; not me I guess
Sebastien's sexual harassment has not stopped; thanks to God I am usually out of the house and at night I lock my door.
At weekends my uncle and his wife are usually in, so he had to behave himself, and I made sure I avoid his mother like a leech.
After that initial time, I had to wait at home to be fixed into school, which gave him complete access to him as well as his mum.
Thanks to the cook who usually soften the blow by giving me food, he has no such access the instant I was fixed into school.
My Uncle had fixed me in a school close to his office so the instant school is closed for the day, I meet him up in his office where I usually handled my homework. Now I work as a full staff
I love his assistance, she is my best friend, though a lot older than me I could tell her stuff, I made sure to afford to tell her about what's going on with Sabastian, his mom, and me.
I do not want works getting to my uncle at least, not from his assistance, that will cause me more trouble as well as his home when I am ready I will tell him myself.
Uncle Luke's assistance had helped me come to terms with my mom's death and help me forgive my dad although that took years to happen.
There is no single day I do not think about how life will have been if they are still here with me, and even as I read this book in my hand their thought still drafts into my mind now and then.
I noticed my door had been silently opened from the outside and I realized my mistake.
I did not lock my door but before I could make an effort to correct that Sebastien walked in and closed the door silently.
I shifted in my bed, not knowing what to expect, but I know one thing for sure this will not be good for me
"Hey baby girl, good to see you after a very long time," he said with a cynical look on his face.
He talked like we are just seeing each other and not like we just had dinner together.
Thank God I was seated in between my uncle and his friend who usually had dinner with us before he retreats to his quarter in the same compound.
I am mute as he walked closer, moved away from him to the side of the bed. He walked closer and I tried to jump out of the bed.
Not fast enough. He grabbed my hands halting my movement and pushing me back Into my bed.
I waggled free from his hold, but my victory is short-lived as a slap landed on my chick,
I was stunned, he was never this violent, usually, he was light in handling me always giving room for escape.
He always just turn me around in his arms and then give me a blow that was never this painful. I wonder what has gone over him.
He did not allow me to dwell on this as he tried and force my leg opened, and it dawned on me that he meant business
I began to struggle with everything I got, as I screamed for help, his hand instantly cover my mouth preventing more noise.
I kicked my leg and it caught him in his lower abdomen, he hissed loudly, releasing my mouth giving me the chance to scream and I did with all my might.
This time he cut me off with my cloth that was lying on my bed. My struggle continued as I was not ready to lose my virginity this way, I am ready to fight for it with my last breath.
He was not ready to give up the fight as the struggle continued, with him trying to undress me and me up structuring him all the way.
Suddenly the door busted open and Sebastien was flung off me, I looked up to see my uncle's fuming face staring at me, afraid I looked away.
The next thing I heard was a loud slap, I looked up quickly to see Sebastien staggering back with his hand holding his cheek
"Dad, it's not my fault she called me in here." He tried saying in his defence but hid dad will have none of it as he beats him blue-black, claiming he walked in and saw me struggling.
As he beats him, his wife walked in and quickly defended her son so my uncle stopped
What is going on here? She asked as she dodged Sabastien behind her.
"I caught him almost raping Lovett." Uncle Luke replies looking murderously at both his wife and his son.
"Really how are you sure it was not between two consenting adults." She said and Sebastien nodded, I looked at her shocked.
"Does this ripped cloth and bed as well as this slap mark on her face, look to you as two consenting adults," he said getting angry at his wife
"You never can tell." She said with gestures
"Will you shut up your mouth? how can you even condole incest in this house, are you out of your mind?" My uncle screamed.
Seeing how angry he is the two dashed out of the room without saying another word, slamming the door after them.
My uncle walked towards me sit at the edge of the bed and waved for me to come close, I did.
I was surprised as he gentle search my body through for burses then he stood up and left quietly only to return with a first aid box and attended to my burses and rub ointment on my pain parts
"My dear, I am so sorry for this, I promise it won't repeat itself," he said remorsefully.
How can you be so sure uncle, I thought. He must have seen the fear in my eyes because he asked
"Tell me truthfully for how long has this been going on?" He asked setting the first aid box on the floor
I opened up and told him everything and when he asked why I did not tell him, I have told him of his wife's threat.
He got up angrily. I will teach that woman to mess with my niece I quickly stopped him from storming out
Please uncle no, don't fight your wife for my sake you cannot always be home please" He stopped, thinking about what I said for a while then said.
"Okay, but I must deal with Sebastien and my decision is with me, good night Lovett makes sure you lock your door, I doubt he will return tonight though," he said smiling
"Not with that beating he got," he said heading for the door, I smiled and walked him to the door and lock it after him.
