It was then Maurice's feet reached Azora's door . Her fists hit the door repeatedly , like she knew an abomination was committed.
Azora sat still on the bare floor naked, she didn't move an inch, her face in distraught , her eyes dropping tears every near second. She was no longer in planet earth anymore.
"Crrrrrrrrrrr', the door alerted Azora that someone was coming in .But still she kept staring in open air .
"Azora!", Maurice shrieked at the sight of her . "What happened to you my darling girl, why aren't you putting on clothes my child?", she questioned almost in tears .
Maurice's eyes looked around the whole room , not only was it in a total mess, but the bed stained in blood.She was utterly confused, but as soon as her eyes caught the sight of Owen's shirt on the bed , the breeze of the open window told her the rest of the story .
"N...N..No.., this cant be possible , Azora tell me its not what I'm thinking, nothing happened to you right?"
Maurice kept on shaking Azora's stiff looking body .
"Maurice....., what did I ever do in life to d..."
"Tell me what happened here my darling child?"
"I promise I.....I...didn't do anything at all, h...he ...touched...me...everywhere ",Azora replied in a shaking tone .
Maurice was tongue struck, the tears running free said all that was needed to be said . She looked at Azora one more time ...The poor girl was no longer in her right senses ..
"M...Maurice, please don't cry "
"And why shouldn't I ? This is all my fault , I should have suspected his intentions when I saw him heading towards here", Maurice cried out.
Azora's sobs increased drastically.
"Tell me where is that son of the devil? he won't go scot free at all, I'll make sure I strangle him to death, your Aunt won't spare that bastard", Maurice said furiously as she stared at Azora soaking her skin in tears.
"Just calm down my darling child , I'll go inform ur aunt right now, Owen must be found now!"
Maurice's short trip to the door was caught short by Azora's firm grip on her serving gown.
"No Maurice please don't tell anyone , they'll either kill him or say I'm lying , Aunt Laury will never believe me ", Azora insisted.
"No my child, I won't listen to you today, this is a huge crime and ill make sure you get justice....
"And then what?....the whole town finds out I was raped..my aunt blames me for my misfortune...I begin to bow my head in shame of what people will say...and I finally end my life right?"
"Is that really what you want Maurice?",Azora said wiping off her tears .
"No my child, but..."
"Then promise me that this horrible incidence will stay between you and I , no one else must find out , lest I end my life Maurice ",Azora threatened.
"I promise dear, I won't tell anyone about this", Maurice sobbed.
Maurice immediately stretched out for a blanket and gave Azora to wrap herself in...
She couldn't say a word after that , the tears didn't stop as well .
Maurice engulfed Azora in a hug , Azora kept staring at the wall in front of her.
"Maurice...if you wouldn't mind I would love to be alone ,please, I know you will refuse , but please do this one last thing for me",Azora said as she broke free from the hug.
Maurice didn't spend a second more with her , she made sure she hit the door as hard as she could behind her,she kept cursing herself for not being there in time to save her .
Azora knowing that Maurice was far off gone , stood up and locked the door from inside .
"Aaaaarrrghhh",she screamed at the top of her voice in agony.
On everything she could lay her eyes upon, she broke and destroyed , where it be a picture , or an ancestry,she didn't spare one till she came to her dad's photo.Azora's anger increased at the sight of her father's , it was like the burning fire in her ignited again.
"You! You let this happen to me , you watched it all like a movie , you let him rape your own daughter , you didn't do a thing to stop him !", Azora exclaimed in utter rage.
"Do you really hate me that much? I'm sure you do , every promise you've made till your death was a lie , everyone keeps saying I'm lucky, my dad left me with treasures , I'm fucking rich , even Aunt Laury pretends to love me in front of everyone , but you never do anything about that either ",she cried out .
"My body has become a receiver of torments , from the physical assaults of beatings of your own sister , to the sexual assault from my own best friend, but you don't care right , I'm sure you're pretty happy up there seeing your darling princess cry "
"But you know what ..Fuck you , your riches and your fake love as well , I'm glad your dead and gone forever Mr Miller , I've always thought you would be there for me and you're watching over me but after today's incident , I no longer need that "
" I can take care of myself now, I don't need you , your help or anyone's help and most importantly I don't need your riches ,from today you're no longer my dad, I hate you ! I really do ! ", Azora cried out once more and threw the glass frame with her dad's picture at the floor .
She look at the pieces of glass on the floor and tries to pick them up one by one and folded her hands tightly in them . Both hands and feet were bleeding but Azora didn't feel the pain at all. She laid on the bare floor with her eyes wide open till day break .
