Chapter Seven
Recovery
I was discharged after two week and Dave took me home. He carried me up to the room and laid me down slowly, he covered me with the sheet and made to leave but i held him back
"Stay with me" i pleaded, my voice shaking"I'm here okay" replied Dave as he climbed into the bed with me"How are you feeling?" he asked"I'm okay now" she replied, she closed her eyes and dozed off. The next morning Dave brought her breakfast in bed"Honey get up and have something to eat so you can take your meds"He helped her sit up and then placed the tray over her legs"I made you bread and sauce with bacon, your favorite"I smiled and started eating, I was still in so much pain, every inch of my body pains me"I hate that they did this to you"I paused for a moment and turned to look at him"Why were they asking for you, what do they want with you" I asked "I don't know" he replied"I hissed, so we are still doing this, they said you took something from them, why won't you tell me anything" "Baby, am sorry this happened to you, I am, but this is work and I can't discuss it with you, it will put you in danger""You didn't tell me anything and it still put me in danger, I need to know what you are into Dave" Dave's phone started to ring"Honey eat your food okay, I need to take this, I will be back"He went to the bathroom to answer the call as i continued to eat. He came out shortly after"I need to go babe" he said "Are you being serious right now" i asked"I know babe but I will be back Asap, will you be okay by yourself?""Sure' i replied sarcastically"Dave made to kiss my forehead but I just shifted"I'm sorry babe, I will be back" he finally said before he went downstairs to meet the agents guarding the place"Nobody in without my permission" "Yes Sir" they repliedA while later a call entered my phone, it was the Alex, I just sat there and let it ring. I continued to eat my meal and then took my prescription after the meal. Later that evening, Dave came in, but i was asleep. He went to bed and the next morning he left before i wokeAfter two months, i have started walking on my own, i am now feeling much better, my bruises are barely noticeable. The agents guarding our house has been dismissed. My phone alarm rang, i have an appointment with my psychologist, Doctor Fortune"What's that for?" Dave asked"Nothing" Dave proceeded to go downstairs while i went into the bathroom to take a shower before preparing. After I was done, i went down stairs"I wanna see a friend, I would be back" i said, "Aright, be careful and call me if there is anything at all" "I will"I gave him a kiss and left.-----------------------------------------------------------------In the psychologist office"Tell me how you are feeling today" Doc Fortune asked"I feel fine""Is there anything bothering you? anything at all?""No, nothing" "How is your relationship with Dave lately?" asked Doc FortuneI did not respond to that, i mean things hasn't been good between me and Dave, i wouldn't even know where to start, he lied to me all these years, put me in danger, I was tortured and harassed and almost killed and he wouldn't even leave the damn job to take good care of me. When i didn't respond Doc Fortune took off her glasses and said "may I remind you that this is a safe space, you can tell me anything"I looked at her, took a deep breath and started"I have been getting this feeling, I can't seem to shake it and...and every time I want to talk to Dave about this, I don't even know how to begin or what to say and I end up just wanting to have sex, is that weird?""No, no it's totally normal""What is the feeling like, what do you actually feel?" "I don't know, scared, watched, afraid someone is watching me" You are still experiencing post traumatic stress, it doesn't just go away, it takes time As for the sexual craving, you can't seem to express yourself through words so you just find another way to do so, doesn't matter the means, could be through poem, drawing etc in your case, it seems you are covering up with sex, it gives you closure. Sarah, you know at some point you are going to have to talk to him about this, it's killing you, keeping it all inside, that isn't healthy"He wouldn't even listen if I tried" i replied "Then make him listen" she advised"Sarah you are a strong woman, you are a survivor, I am sure you will find a way to let him know what is going on with you".Chapter EightLoveOne night Dave came back" Honey am back" he said expecting a reply, when he didn't get any, he made his way upstairs "where are you?" he asked He opened the door to find me dressed in a sexy night wear, sitting on the bed, legs apart waiting for him"I'm here love, waiting patiently for you""Whoa" was all he could say"Come on and make love to me" i said as i stood up and went to where he was standing"Why watch when you can touch" I took his hands and placed them on my boobs"Baby, i just got home, am tir...""Shhhh" i interrupted "touch me" i further said as i started to undress him and he let me. After he was undressed, now wearing only his boxers he said"Honey, I have a long day tomorrow and I need to get enough rest" I got angry and pushed him down on the bed, I climbed up and pulled his boxers down a little and touched his dick, it was already hard"If you won't do it then I will i said and before he could finish saying 'wait?' I sat on his dick, i mor
Chapter NineThe LureIt was ten in the morning, i have an appointment in a salon, i needed to get my hair done, so i prepared to go to the saloon, and after about five minutes walk from the house, i felt someone following me and then a voice spoke"I have been calling, you never answered'I recognized the voice and turned to look at him not really knowing how i feel about seeing him, memories of our time together came rushing in"I didn't answer because I didn't want to" i finally said"And why is that?""What are you doing here anyways, how do you know where I live? I asked covering his question"I just want to talk, explain things you know, so I just wanted to see you""Wanted to see me? You were one of them, the guys that took me" I said scared"No, no it was all a mix up" he said stepping forward which made me take a step backward"They mentioned your name, they said you were with them, they sent you after me""I did business with them, I didn't know what they were into I promise
Chapter TenCaught In The WebI struggled to turn around and he pushed me and pinned my back to the wall with one palm over my mouth"don't you dare make a sound" he warned, his eyes red with rage and evil that I couldn't help but wonder what I did to get him so pissed. "You think you can avoid me forever? I want you and I must have you" he said. "Please let me go" I managed to murmur with his palm over my mouth as hot tears rolled down my eyes, he cut off my top with the knife. He then quickly dropped the knife and carried me up with his free hand while the other one was still placed on my mouth. He penetrated me and I let out a closed scream, I tried to fight with my hands, scratching and hitting him, but my soft hands seems to be hitting a rock, I then managed to shift my mouth from his hand and bite him, he let out a groan and responded with a slap that almost made me lose consciousness. He then dragged me from the wall and put my head onto the foam and pressed it down while ho
"I think I saw you outside, sitting in your car" she saidDave moved inside the room, went over to the bedside and sat beside Sarah. The woman made to leave and then paused"You do know she was raped right?" She said"What?""When she ran out of the room, she ran into me and she looked very scared, one look at her and I knew what happened" she explainedDave could not believe his ears"I could have stopped her, then she wouldn't have to drive into an accident" she continued "so I feel responsible in a way, that's why am here. I heard about the accident from the news. Here this is his information, you can talk to the police and have him pay for what he did"Dave collected the paper"Emm, thank you for being here" Dave said still shocked.The woman nodded, turned and left.Dave started to beat himself up, he was right there and this happened, and when she came out, he thought that she was hurrying up to get back home, he was so angry he didn't go over there to confront her, if he did, he
Chapter 12Confrontation Three weeks after i was discharged from the hospital which now seems to be a causal place for me. Dave took me home, he made my favorite meal and i was so thankful for that, am not a fan of hospital meals. After eating, Dave wanted to talk."Hey, I want to talk about what happened" he said to me."I don't want to talk about it" I replied not looking at him.I started to go upstairs."I know you were raped" he saidI stopped and turned to look at him, "who told you that" I asked"Does it matter?" he asked back"Yes it does" I replied"Okay fine, there was a woman, she came to the hospital after the accident, she said she owns the bar and she met you the day it happened. What were you doing there and who was that man?" He asked looking at meI scoffed"And this is the right time to talk about this? I just got out of the hospital and all you can think of is to question me?" I asked"I just want to know what happened" he replied"Seems to me you already do" I sai
Ambushed"What Sarah, you're what?""I don't know, I..am not just feeling it anymore" I replied"Feeling what Sarah? the dinner or this marriage?"I don't know, I...I just need time to think I guess""What do you want to think about hmm?" He asked harshly"Everything Dave, it has been a lot going on" I replied with almost the same tone"You are the one that cheated, you know" he spat at me"Is that what this is about? me cheating?""I'm sorry, I lashed out" he apologized"No, no you didn't, it's been right there on your mind, it just came out" I said angry"Come on babe" he begged"I'm going to bed" I said before turning to leave"No, wait, wait, Sarah"He used his arm an scattered the dinner on the table breaking the plates and glasses. That made me turn around in shock."What do i have to do?" he asked"Nothing, you can't do anythng now, am trying, i have a lot on my mind and am trying to get it under control and am sorry i cheated on you, am so sorry, but you behaving this way and
Confession"Now walk to the bathroom" he ordered.I did as i was told and walked to the bathroom. Once we were inside he locked the door behind us and this gave me a chance to turn around to see who it was. It was Alex, i froze up."Miss me?" he asked grinning, he had a black eyeI swallowed in fear."Alex" i managed to say"Surprised to see me? what? you didn't think we would meet again after our last meeting?"I became so uncomfortable, i took my chance at the door, but he caught me before i could take three steps. He placed a hand over my mouth, and placed my back on the wall."Shhh don't scream" he said threatening me with his gun. Tears ran down my cheeks."Now listen and listen good" he beganI nodded in response."Tell that husband of yours to get a hold on himself, if he tries that shit he pulled the other day again, i will come back for you, and it won't be a friendly visit, do you understand me?" he askedI nodded once again in response"Good" he said now really looking at m
Lay With HimDave held me back, "Sarah please wait"“You lied to me and put my life in danger” i spat at him“I'm so sorry babe, about all this” he pleaded.“I have to go” I stood up and ran out of the house. When I got to Julian's place, I went straight into my room, closed the door and cried my heart out. Later on, Julian came up, knocked slightly at the door and called my name.“I'm coming in” she said before entering the room She came over to the bed and laid down with me while rapping her arms around me in a warm embrace.“You are gonna be okay” she said“I'm not sure if I will ever be okay again” I said to her“Hunny, you are gonna be fine” she said trying to convince meI told her about my meeting with Alex and that Dave knew him. After am done she said“Alright, from now on i will be going with you to where ever you want to go okay? No more going by yourself".Dave was infuriated after finding out that Alex paid a visit to me, so he went by Alex's apartment that day but he co
Mia's PoVThe next morning I prepared and headed to the office, I had a plan and the plan was to expose my boss for who he truly is and what he has truly done. I know he is smart enough not to implicate himself so I have to be very crafty with this. I need to push the call ight buttons or all is lost. I don't have the evidence the P.I gave me with me anymore since they were confiscated by the police after Liam dragged me into his mess once again. I have to be really smart about this actually because I do not have any other plan, if this doesn't work, I don't know what next to do. I have just one shot and I plan on making good use of it. I took a taxi to the office, ones I entered the premises, I told my secretary to let Mr. Edward know am here and that I want to meet with him. After she made the call, she told me that he said to send me in, which I know he wouod,. He must have been curious as to what brought me back here with everything that is going on in my life right now which am
"He said one thing at a time and promised everything is going to be alright" I said sitting down on the couch and stretching out my legs. It's been a really long day and my legs are aching badly. A massage would be such a bad idea right now. I desperately need one"Ana, do you think am stupid?" I asked"What? No, not at all" she answered quickly and I smiled"You are a good friend and I know you love me but I need an honest answer this time please" I said to her"Mia, you are the smartest woman that I know, I don't think you are stupid, you just made some wrong choices that's all and hell, who doesn't at some point?" She said"I'm not so sure about the smart part" I said as I started to get emotional again and tears started to line up"Mia, opening your heart to someone doesn't make you stupid, you were in love, it's not something that you can control, we can't control who we love" she said in a sweet voice"I don't know, I feel really stupid, I feel so empty" I said sobbing"Hey stop
"Liam took me there to see a building, he wanted me to start up private practice there, to start my own firm in the middle of nowhere. His wife said some things about him being an isolator and a control freak and am seeing that now"This is bad Mia" she said taking a sip from her glass then her phone began to ring, it was an unknown number. She picked up"Hello, who is this?" She asked"Hi Ana, this is Liam" he replied "It's Liam" she said to me"What?" I asked coming closer and whispering to her to put it on speaker"How the hell did you get this number?" she asked him"I just spoke to my lawyer, we really need to talk to Mia, it's really important, is she there with you?" He asked ignoring Ana's question"No she is not, whatever you want to tell her, you can tell it to me, i will just pass it on later" she said to him"I know you don't know me like that but I promise I didn't do all these things am being charged for, am innocent. It's just my wife and her lawyer that is doing all th
Mia PoVWhen we got to Ana's place, I sat down like someone whom the body was present but the mind was absent. Ana went over to her fridge and got out a bottle of alcohol and two glass cups. We came over to the couch and dropped them on the table then poured out the drinks into the two cups, and slide one my way as she took up her own glass and drank from it, a slight frown appeared on her face as she did"Are you going to tell me what happened now?" She said taking another sip"He was laundering money and dealing with really dangerous people" I said still sitting still"What? Mia did you know about this?" She asked surprised"No, I did not. You know I can never involve myself in something like that. Why would you even ask that" I said looking at her"Then why are they in your house and taking all your stuff?" She asked still doubting that I didn't know anything at all about the crimes "He asked me to move some money into my account but that was to keep it away from his wife, not bec
Ana's PovI drove over to Mia's place after she said not to come pick her again, I waiting for over an hour but she didn't come in, so I went across the street to get dinner but when I came back up the door was unlocked and wide open and there were police all over the place tossing everything around and moving things. I was so shocked I thought I went to the wrong room, but looking inside I realized I didn't go to the wrong room, I am at the right room, all of Mia's properties were there and the police officers were just touching everything."What the heck? What is going on here?" I asked as one police officer rushed out to stop me from entering the premises "is Mia inside that house?" I asked the police officer but before he was able to respond, Mia showed up, she was coming from the stairs and has no idea about all of this."You again?" She said to the police officer that came out to stop me from entering the place, I guess they know each other or have met at least"What the hell is
"Good news, he accepted to let you meet with him, he should be here any second" he said and I breathed out in relief and my face brightened up"Thank you" I said happy he did me the favour"Sure" he said. Then the door opened up and another officer led Liam into the room in handcuffs. I should really get used to seeing him like this since it's now happening more often. After the other officer brought him in, he left the room"I will let you two talk" the nice officer said before leaving us both alone in the room and closing the door behind him"Hey, listen" Liam started but I could wait for him to talk not after what he put me through today and all the things I found out about him"What the fuck Liam" I said upset"Look, listen to me. It's my wife and her lawyer lover, they are the ones setting me up, they are the ones doing all this. I can tell you I didn't do anything. They had all this planned out" he said desperately"Do you know how worried I was, when those guys carried you, I
"Look the charges are all legit" he said apologetically but still confident"You should know that his wife is really on to him, she could have plotted all of this, believe that woman is crazy, I wouldn't put it pass her, maybe you should be focusing on her instead torturing me" I said upset"No, this isn't his wife. He has been doing this for a very long time now, even before he met her,tl this one is on him not her" he said"Okay I think am gonna go" I said getting off the car seat but he got off the driver's seat and stopped me "Please just calm down, I know this is a whole lot for you but being angry about it isn't going to make it go away and besides where are you going to go?" he said to me"No am not upset about what you are telling me, I guess am just angry at myself for not figuring it out on time. You think you know someone but–shit!" I said with a mixed feeling. This is just all too much"Hey listen, you know I really can drive you back to the city, instead of sitting here
Once he heard my reply, he parked by the side of the road and got down from his car"Hey, are you okay?" He said coming toward me, I became scared and alert I took some steps backwards to put a space between us at least to give me a headstart if something should happen. What is he is a psychopath or a kiddnapper or a killer? There were many things running through my mind and my insecurities set in. If anything should happen to me here, nobody will know because Liam drove me out here very early in the morning, I didn't get the chance to call or tell anybody where I was headed and now I am left here no phone, absolutely nothing on me but my cloth"Obviously not" I said still suspicious"Well, did your car break down somewhere? I can help you to fix it, I am not a mechanic but I know a few things" he said nicely. How is he so nice, it's awkward I thought to myself"No" I said keeping my eyes on him and studying him"In that case, can I give you a ride back to wherever?" He asked"Do you
It was a building, a complete building. I did not know if I show uod get excited or not. "Liam what is this?" I asked a little confused"It's a building, you can start your firm here. I mean it looks a little bit old, we can fix it up a bit" he said smiling. I stood there still confused, why would I want my firm an hour away the city? Was he joking and I specifically told him I don't want to go private"It fit the profile perfectly, it's spacious has all the equipments and fittings intact, you will love it, let's just take a look inside" he continued"Liam, we didn't talk about this, you didn't think this is something you should have mentioned to me before now? Instead of driving us out here this early?" I asked a little upset"Just wait a second okay, let's go take a look inside first, am sure you will love it" he said. I just felt that he wasn't hearing me"I'm a city girl, I love the city, I don't want to be here Liam, out alone here in the middle of nowhere?. All my friends are i
