ARIANA'S POVI was so happy to be on this date with Raymond, the fact that he had asked me out made me happy, I couldn't hide my excitement when I walked in and saw Raymond waiting for me. I was tempted to kiss him but I pecked his cheeks instead, I also noticed he had booked the top floor just for us, it was lovely to see that he was willing to do something like that for me. He proceeded to order for us and I was glad he did because the food turned out to be so good, I didn't drop my cutleries for once until I was done eating and taking a sip from the wine he ordered for us.While eating we discussed random topics and ended up talking about Kira, actually I had been the one stupid enough to bring her name into our conversation, not exactly like I spent hours talking about her but I went back to that day we had met for the first time, how things turned out and brought us to this moment, even though Raymond had a smile on his face as he sipped his wine and nodded his head I could see
Raymond suddenly felt his heart racing as there was no sight of Ariana in the restroom. He could only conclude that something bad had happened because Ariana couldn't have gone somewhere else without informing him, she wasn't really familiar with this restaurant or location so where else could she be."Is everything alright Sir?" the waiter asked in a worried tone as he stood by the door watching Raymond search every corner in the bathroom. He had not seen the young miss since she came in this direction, so probably she had gone to the down floor while she was done in the rest room as their was a connecting door to the down floor."Check your CCTV footage right now," Raymond yelled at the waiter, walking pass him and running out of the restroom to the down floor to see if Ariana was there, if she was in danger he prayed in his heart that he would locate her on time before things got worst and out of his control but he hoped she was not, he wanted to believe that she probably went to t
“Ariana," Raymond yelled as he got into the car park, he barely started searching for her when someone pushed him from behind as he fell to the ground. He turned around on the ground to see who it was as a bat about to hit him right in the head misses his head and hits his hand instead, shock waves suddenly filled his body as he got up quickly staring at three men in mask, Raymond figured they were teenagers from their physique, even though they had mask on.One of them was holding a bat and the others were in fighting positions, were they the ones that took Ariana and now they were here to cause harm to him. The three goons didn't even let Raymond process his thought as they started to attack him throwing punches at him and kicking him, Raymond tried his best to defend himself by dodging their punches and punching them back.It would seem he had a upper hand with the goons because the punches he was throwing at them were causing more injuries to them than the ones they were throwing
ARIANA'S POVAt some point I thought I would die at the way the man was not only trying to get me naked but hitting me while at it, the handkerchief he had placed over my nose which I wasn't sure if it contained chloroform or some harmful substance kept me unconscious but not for long.When I finally regained consciousness I was laying on the bare floor in an unfamiliar environment, I watched the man take rip off my gown from my body but I was weak and unable to move a muscle to stop him, I opened my mouth to call for help and even though a sound didn't escape my lips the man had slapped me right in the face murmuring something which I was sure was for me to shut up.Back in the restroom, I thought his mission was to kidnapp me but it was obvious now that his mission was to rape me and it made me terrified as to how a sick bastard like this had gotten into such a restaurant that was highly guarded with security officers which I had seen at the front door when I arrived.I felt his han
ARIANA'S POVBy the time I had regained consciousness I was no longer in that awful environment, I was back in Raymond's house and in my room already clothed in my pajamas, I felt a sting on my cheek from where the sick bastard had slapped me across the face twice or more than I could remember as I sat on the bed positioning myself properly and leaning my head on the bed.I felt pain on my back as I leaned on the wall, now that I think of it, I remember him slamming my body on the floor like I was a piece of wood, I had not felt it then because I couldn't feel my muscles.I also felt weak and sleepy but I knew it was from the drugs, irrespective of everything I felt much better than I did back in that room, I was finally able to move my body freely and I was sure if I was to speak my voice would be more audible now. The door suddenly opened as Raymond entered with a first aid kit, my eyes went straight to his forehead that had stopped bleeding but I could still see the cut right ther
RAYMOND'S POVI was taken aback by her hug, I had not expected her to move forward and hug me tightly. I expected her to be mad at me for not keeping an eye on her and allowing that man to do those awful things to her, I expected her to be crying, yelling, and stopping me from comforting her but instead, she was the one who was comforting me.How could she be so calm about everything that happened? How could she even manage to smile and have a proper conversation with me? Was she not traumatized by what had just happened? I concluded that maybe this was Ariana's coping mechanism.This was her own way of saying she wasn't okay and she needed me to be here right now with her, This was her own way of trying to overlook the whole situation and move forward, she was truly a strong woman because if I was in her shoe I just couldn't. I couldn't overlook everything that had happened, even though the police had arrested that man and reassured me they had a case on him already I still had it i
Meanwhile, fear had started to consume Kira despite the fact that she was now in a safe place, Kira had started to figure out a plan to finally leave the town for good as she suspected that Alfonso and William were on to her and would catch her anytime soon. She couldn't just remain here and be sure she would be safe for the rest of her life, she had decided to use the money she had stolen from Alfonso to get him beaten up and hopefully killed him, it was the only way things could work out."This is the person you have to kill," Kira said handing over a folder to a man in a hoodie, she had called the man over the phone to inform him about what she wanted him to do but he kept on insisting that he couldn't hear her clearly because of the network and that they should meet up in a secret location, she thought he was acting weird because she could hear him just fine but when she got to the location she realized he just didn't want the police tracing that call to him incase the beating bac
She could feel all the fear in the world on her the moment he sat beside her, the gun still being pointed at her. She swallowed as she looked around the train, wasn’t there any single person in the pathetic trian who noticed that a gun was being pointed at her?“I can explain “ she told him but he chuckled slightly as he slowly narrowed the gun up to her chest.She had never felt any more scared her whole life and all she could hope for at this point was her safety. She was willing to give up some of the money but her life, it was still precious to her as all she could think of at this point was getting revenge.He chuckled slightly, “you shouldn’t speak, I wouldn’t believe anything you have to say “ he told her and with that, he relaxed.She could feel hot tears slowly start to stream down her cheeks as she stared at him. What was he going to do to her? She knew one thing, sexually inactive men were definitely the most dangerous. She could feel a whole lot of sweat beads form on he
