Lia's POVMy head ached even more because I cried too much earlier, I immediately turned around when I remembered that Sir Darius was here. At first, I expected him to be gone when I noticed it was getting dark outside, but when I turned to the sofa he was still there.Holding the tablet, he was seriously talking on his cell phone at the same time. I slowly got off the bed but he immediately noticed me, he was about to stand up to help me when I shook my head and signaled to continue what he was doing.Even though he didn't like what I wanted, he still followed it and didn't leave his seat, but his eyes continued to follow me until I entered the bathroom.My hands were cold and I immediately covered my face when I saw my reflection in the mirror, I looked like a child who hadn't combed her hair in days...Apart from that, I now understand why he reacted like that when he saw my cheek, it was so red and swollen.“Ouch!” A loud moan came out of my lips when I tried to touch it, it wasn'
That day he just drove me back to my house as we agreed, he didn't even manage to wait for my parents to introduce himself or even say goodbye to them and just left after.It's a bit embarrassing that I wasn't even able to offer him anything, it’s been many times he took me home, but I never invited him once to come inside the house."Oh, where is the one that brought you home? Why didn't you even introduce us to them?” Dad asked after they arrived, tiredness and stress evident on his face.Mom didn't say anything but I could see the same thing on her face, a little bit disappointed which made me feel a little bit that the outcome of what they took care of was not good."I'm sorry, maybe next time. He also has a lot to do," I can't say that the man who drove me home is my boss, for sure it was a big deal to them and we all tired for me to explain. Well, that doesn't usually happen...I took two glasses and a pitcher of cold water, "drink it first," I tried to smile to ease the weight
"Huh? How did you get my contact number?” I asked nervously."Because I have my ways, Lia. So, how are you?" His voice became serious, "I heard your family is filing a lawsuit, unfortunately..."I snorted loudly, "Yes, unfortunately, we don't have a match." I finished what he had to say.Both lines were silent for a while, I didn't know what to say again either."Do you want me to help you, guys?" He spoke again, the sincerity in his voice was obvious. "If I give a statement, the case process will be easier."I shook my head even though I knew he couldn't see me, "I don't want to drag in our problem and your name become on the bad side of others, another thing is that your business might be affected by chance." I walked away from my parent’s room. “I will just hope we can find a better way to fight the case.""Method? What method is better than my statement?” He asked curiously, "Are you planning to use money too?""Hmm... I don't know yet, are you sure you're ready to help us?" It's
Darius's POV“Good evening, Sir!” The bar host greeted me, I just nodded in response and hurriedly walked up to the second floor where Craig's office was. I couldn't even knock, I immediately opened it loudly."The f*ck, what is your problem?!" The surprise on his face was obvious, "isn't it your style to knock?"He covered his cell phone as if he didn't want the other person to hear what he was saying, "Tsk, why not end that call first? I need something from you, it's important." I sat on the sofa and looked at him seriously.He didn't seem to have anything to do so he hung up and got up from where he was sitting and moved to the sofa in front of me. "What important thing do you want us to talk about now, Bro? Did your mother contact you again or did something happen in the company?”"Nothing like that happened, but I heard something that amused me for real." I sarcastically said that his forehead immediately furrowed even more."I don't know what it is but yeah, spill the beans." He
Lia’s POVI hadn't slept that long when I woke up to a noise from outside the house, I slowly opened my eyes and got off the bed to turn on the light.When my eyes were finally adjusted to the light, I approached the window to open the curtain, I immediately gasped as people's cameras began to light up.Why there were so many people waiting for me outside the house? I quickly pulled the curtain closed again with my cold and trembling hand."Lia, are you awake yet?" it was mom's voice, her concern was obvious. "I'm going in." The door slowly opened and she rushed to me to hug me. "Everything will be fine, just trust us with your father we can do it."She gently caressed my back over and over again, "Call your work first that you still can't come in today, if they fire you, we will just move to another city or just go back to the province, even if we move to another country it will be fine.""What do you mean we're leaving? Our family is not doing anything wrong, they are lying. If we l
"Slowly, Lia, take off your shorts and panties." He ordered on the other line using his sexy voice, "Then slowly separate your legs, imagine that I'm in front of you and I'm watching you."I lay down put my cell phone on the pillow opposite my ear and started doing what he said, I slowly removed my jeans shorts, and panties. I looked between my thighs when I saw my reflection in the mirror, I should have been disappointed because it wasn't him, I saw but instead, I felt more warmth in my body."I-I’m done doing what you said, w-what should I do next..." I whispered while still not losing sight of my reflection in the mirror, I saw how my neck and cheeks started to turn red."That’s good to hear baby, now slowly insert your hand into your shirt. Are you wearing a bra, babe?” He whispered again, his voice seemed to be right next to my ear to the point that I could feel his hot breath."N-no, I didn't wear it so you could easily touch my breast and play my nipple." Even though I said t
I couldn't stop my tears from flowing down my cheeks, in the blink of an eye my life was almost messed up just because of one mistake I made. Now a video is circulating and we don't know who did it.It contains a compilation of videos of women who received sexual harassment from Nicky, it also includes other interviews with other women who bravely spoke out even though their faces were blurred."I dared to speak because of the news about his new victim, I realized that we can have a voice even if our opponent is rich." her eyes were full of tears, and she could barely speak because of how she kept sobbing."I'm so pathetic back then, I chose to keep quiet because I was afraid that I would look bad but look at her, she didn't hide in the dark and let herself suffer alone. Nicky deserves to receive such punishment.”They all say that I gave them the courage to speak up and fight what happened to them, and I'm happy to know that.Honestly, I never thought or expected that I would receive
"Welcome back, Lia!" My co-workers who were also new to the company shouted, and a few from different departments also welcomed me. "You did well!" they added.Oh! I prepared for it, but my tears still started to come out even though I didn't want to. I was overwhelmed by such events, my nervousness and fear before entering was replaced by joy."Thank you, guys!" I gave them the biggest and most genuine smile, "I didn't expect you to welcome me." As I held the small bouquet of roses."Well, it's not just welcome. We would like to congratulate you on the case, we know you have had a hard time but look at you, still strong!” Sheena said, she came to me and hugged me tightly.I can say that Sheena is good at making friends with everyone, she quickly adjusts to the people around her and I admire her for it. I'm happy to work with her, she's like a sister to me somehow."Enough, we have to go back to our jobs. It's only a few weeks until the summer fest," one of them said suddenly as the a
