Chapter 7

Third Person's Point Of View

"Just one shot, ms." 

"For nth time, Mister! I'm not drinking alcohol!" Elisa refused to the guy who kept on bothering for almost an hour now

'Rose! I swear! I will kill you for being late always! Why did I even agree to meet you here in this disgusting club?'

"Elisa! Cousin!" Rose tapped her cousin's shoulder nervously "Sorry, I'm late again." 

Elisa glared at her "Damn you, Rose! I waited for almost an hour here! Alone!" 

She sat next to Elisa on one of the bar stools "I'm sorry, okay? Emma texted me and.." 

"You talked for hours, that is for sure." 

"You got it!" She chuckled "Forgive me, please?" Rose pouted

"Yeah! Yeah! Just please don't pout. You look like a lost chipmunk." Elisa teased 

"I'll let that pass for now because I'm late but next time there will be no exemption." 

"Rose." 

Rose looked at the guys in her left side "Excuse me? Do I know you?" 

It's the guy who kept on bothering Elisa.

"I'm sorry." The guy scratched his nape "I'm John." 

"Doesn't ring a bell, sorry." Rose was about to turned her head back to Elisa but the guy spoke again

"I'm a son of one of your father's friends." John said

"Really? Nice to meet you." 

'Such a flirt, Rose' Elisa thought and just busied herself in her phone

"Nice meeting you too." They shook hands

"This is my cousin, Elisa." She tapped Elisa's shoulder but she didn't pay attention to them

"I met her earlier and your cousin is kinda snob." John said

"I'm sorry about her. You're alone?" 

"Nah, I'm with my friends." He pointed at the group of boys on the dance floor "Not really in the mood to dance." 

"I see." Her phone rang "Excuse me, I need to take this." 

"I told you, I'm not a bad person. I came from a decent family." John talked to Elisa again

"Can you just please mind your own fucking business?" Elisa glared at him

"I just want to offer you a drink!" 

"I refused! Can you just stop?" 

"No." 

"Ugh! Give that fucking drink to me and leave the hell out of my face." 

John smirked and pushed the glass of liquor over the marble counter towards Elisa. 

Elisa drank it all "Happy? Now stop pestering me." 

John just nodded but the smirk didn't leave his lips. 

"Ow." Elisa held her head "What is happening to me? Why do I feel like this?" 

"What are you feeling?" John stood next to Elisa 

"I feel like my head is spinning." She then remembered the drink from John "You drugged me!" 

"Shh." John tapped Elisa's head "We'll have fun later." 

John's friends suddenly surrounded Elisa with stupid smirk on their lips. 

~~

Elisa woke up the next day in an abandoned place, dirty and nasty. 

Her head was throbbing in pain so hard but it doesn't match the pain she's feeling in her heart. 

She was naked, dirty, molested, and those pigs stole and wrecked her dignity. 

"I will kill you." 

"You will pay for this." 

"I will kill you." 

"You will pay for this." 

Elisa kept on saying those words while crying for herself. 

With all the strength she has, she picked her clothes that were scattered on the floor.

~~

"I WILL KILL THEM!" Marvin shouted "Find those bastards and bring them to me! Don't let the media know what happened." 

"Yes, boss. We will find them and bring them to you." 

Marvin's minions excused themselves. 

"My princess." Entered his daughter's room who was sleeping soundly on her bed "I will make them pay for what they did to you." He sat on a chair next to the bed and held his daughter's hand "I'm sorry if I wasn't there to protect you." 

"Elisa?" Adeline rushed to her daughter "What happened to her, Marvin? What happened to our daughter?" 

"She was.. rape. They rape her and it was my fault." Marvin cried "I failed to protect our daughter." 

Adeline caressed her daughter's face while her tears were falling "My poor princess." 

~~

"I'm sorry, Lis. I shouldn't leave you." Rose apologised to her cousin 

Rose and Bambam are in Elisa's room. They are sitting next to Elisa, Bam on the left and Rose on the right.

"It's not your fault, Rose. It's not your fault that there are bad guys out there." 

"I will help dad to find those pigs." Bambam said

"Thank you, brother." 

Three months after the nightmare happened to the Taylor's family, news came to them, Elisa was pregnant. 

"Mommy, what should I do with this? I'm not ready for this." 

Adeline cupped Elisa's face and stared into her eyes "Listen, okay? No matter where that baby came from, it's a blessing. It's your baby and you should accept and love it."

Elisa's family never left her side, made her feel loved until she gave birth to her precious daughter. 

"Look at that, angel." Bam cooed "She got your eyes." 

"At least not her forehead." Rose mocked her cousin 

"Haha." Elisa glared at her "Give my precious Sophia to me." She said to her brother 

Bambam carefully gave Sophia to her mommy who was laying down on her bed. 

~~

"Is there a process, father?" Elisa asked her father, referring to her rapists "Have you found them?" 

"Unfortunately, we haven't." Marvin set his fork and spoon over the table "I'm sorry." 

Marvin lied. The truth is he held the guys in an abandoned house and slowly and painfully killed them.

"Why don't you just let the police do their job?" Bam suggested

"Your son is right, Marvin." Adeline joined the conversation "If you can't find them, maybe it's time to report it to the police." 

"No. I had a hard time hiding Elisa's pregnancy from the media, reporting the rape incident will just ignite another chaos to our family and company." 

Elisa sighed "Chaos to our family or to your company only?" She stood up "Thank you for the food." She then went straight to Sophia' room

~~

*After three months*

"No! I won't send Sophia to that orphanage! I don't care if she's a daughter of a rapist! She's my child." 

"She'll be a disgrace to our family, Elisa!" Elisa's so great for nothing father said 

'How can he say those things? Sophia is his grandchild!'

Elisa shook her head in disbelief "You're unbelievable! How can you just throw away your own grandchild?!" 

"You don't understand, Elisa. How can we explain this to the media? I had a hard time hiding your pregnancy from the media. That child will ruin our legacy." 

"I can't believe I'm hearing those stupid things from my own father. If you can't accept my daughter you better tell yourself from now on that you don't have a daughter anymore." With that Elisa run upstairs

After she packed her clothes and Sophia clothes, she carried her daughter and made their way downstairs with Sophia' babysitter behind them, carrying their suitcase. 

"Where are you going, Elisa?" Marvin tried to chase them

The maids opened the door for them. 

"Are you really going to forsake everything you have just for that fruit of sin?" 

Elisa stopped and faced him with a blank expression "Yes because this child you're calling fruit of sin is my everything."

Elisa drove the car after she called Rose for help. 

She stopped the car in front of a stop light, waiting for it to turn green, but a nightmare was about to come to Elisa's life again. A truck that lost it's brake hit their car. 

"Sophia.." was the word that Elisa utter when she saw her daughter's body covered with blood
