(Diego Ella's POV)
Will you be my contracted wife?
I was unsuccessful with the interview I went for. The reason wasn't one I didn't know. It was my lack of experience and the fact that I was honest about it.
The recruiting team had asked me what experience I had in the role I was applying for. I was applying for the post of receptionist but I had not served in that post before. I told them honestly that I had only worked as a waiter in a restaurant. Unfortunately, the recruiting team told me that I had the right qualifications to take up the post but my lack of experience was a red flag for them.
I was unhappy about this but I knew I only had to keep on trying. I was sure things would get better as time passed by.
After I got out of the company's gate, I worked for a while to get to the train station to get a train to take me back to my place. While walking alone on the lonely road, a car parked near me and I watched two men come out of the car. I was taken and thrown into the car. I tried to shout but my mouth was held by these men. They soon covered my nose with a handkerchief and the next thing I saw when I woke up was me in a construction building with four men around the residence. All of them were looking at me with the one nearest to me looking at me lustily. I could already tell what was going on in her mind.
"Hey! How are you feeling, pretty lady? I am sure you're fully awake now!" The man looking at me lustily said. He was quite elderly and he seemed to be the leader of the gang. I could see that the other members seemed to have some respect for him.
I quickly pretended like I was sleeping. I didn't want the thugs to do anything bad to me. However, they had already noticed me. I couldn't hide my "sleeping status" anymore.
"Hey! You'd better open your eyes now or I will remove it with her knife. Do it now! Do you think I am here to play mind games?" The gang leader shouted at me. I didn't mind him. I made sure to close my eyes and pretend like I was lost in a deep sleep.
Before I could say "Jack", the gang leader came to me and raised my chin. He was already disgusted about my resistance to talk with him.
"Oh!" I cried as I now had my eyes opened. I was looking at myself now like someone who just woke up from a deep sleep. This pretense didn't work out well but it helped me out a bit.
"Yes! I would have shouted at you for playing games with me until now but I have decided to forgive you. You had no specific powers and prowess to go against my decision. However, all I want to tell you is that I have forgiven you, not because of any other thing apart from the fact that you have a beautiful face. It's adorable."
"No…" I found myself shaking in fear. I was lost for words and actions. I didn't know what to say or do at that defining moment of my life.
"Oh!" The gang leader shouted seeing me this way. "Are you scared? Don't be! We are reasonable men and we won't kill you. All we want is to fulfill our mission and we'd leave this place."
"What is your mission?" I asked slowly. I was looking at the gang leader intently now.
"To rape you, of course…" the gang leader said. I was shocked immediately when I heard this. I began to shake.
"What?" I managed to blurt out. The urgent feeling was too hard to withstand. I didn't know what to do. I felt like pooing, urinating, eating, and even doing other things at the same time. I was completely confused.
"Yes!" The gang leader said again. "I don't think there's a reason to be afraid. We are all here to satisfy you."
I gazed at the four men and my heart pounded harder in fear. It was no longer a tale of getting away from the group of men safe, it was now a tale of getting away there intact. I couldn't afford the wild men to disvirgin me.
But I knew that I had few to say about this…
"I think she has said enough…" the gang leader told the other men. "Take her down! Let's finalize this!"
Immediately, the other men came near me and began to untie me. I tried to scream but they sealed my mouth. One of the men held my hands while the other held my legs. The third man tried to begin to undress me but he was stopped by the gang leader.
"Stop it!" The gang leader cautioned him. "I'd do this myself."
"But the order was for all four of us to have sex with her…" the third man said, then he continued. "This was supposed to be gang rape."
I was crying at this point. I didn't want what was about to happen to me. However, I had no choice. I prayed at the last minute for help.
Almost immediately, I saw a young man come into the building. He wasn't alone. He had four men with him. I could recognize this young man as the man I saw when I was going for the job interview that morning.
Then a fight ensued. The gang leader held me hostage while the other three gang members went to fight with the young master and his men.
I tried my best and escaped from the gang leader. As I ran away, he removed his gun, aimed for me, and shot.
But the bullet never did meet me…
Instead, it hit the young master. The young master had blocked the bullet for me. I wasn't expecting this sort of loyalty.
I ran to the young master instantly and checked if he was conscious. He was not and I feared he was dead. His men intensified the fight while I heard the sound of a police siren outside.
It was even more indication that help was coming for me. Things were going to be better soon.
*************************
The young master didn't die. It was later that I got to know his name. According to what his bodyguard, Jake, told me, his name was Fernando Jason. He liked to be called Jason.
As Jason lay on the hospital bed, I felt guilty for this. He was there because he was trying to save me from an impending danger. The fact that it could have taken his life captured my heart the more. I was gradually in love with him for this excessive show of love.
While Jason was still unconscious, his old nanny and current home butler, Isabella, came over to watch him. She was very worried when she saw him but we kept our fingers crossed.
It was a thing of joy for me when Jason finally woke up. I was so excited.
"Is she okay?" This was what Jason asked as soon as he woke up. I knew he was talking about me and this made me fall in love with him the more.
"She is…" Isabella answered. "You've grown so much, young master. I never imagined you'd be so courageous."
As Jason gained more strength, he asked Isabella to excuse both of us. He had asked for my name before.
"Ella," Jason began. "Would you be my wife?"
This was too direct for me. I was shocked.
"What?" I said in shock.
