Luther?
I roll my eyes to infinity, cussing under my breath. Just the mere sight of him bores me to death.
And I guess the asshole is everywhere!
I haven't known Luther for too long but my hatred for him runs too deep. I disliked him from the very first time that I set my eyes on his ugly face.
It is literal by the way, he is so fucking ugly and his arrogance is so far up his ass, that only makes him uglier.
He is swirling on the swivel chair and he is too busy texting on his phone to notice us.
Rick clears his throat noisily and Luther looks up from his phone to Ric very much irritated. He has a bored look on his face as he glares at Ric like he would rather stab himself than look at Ric's face for another more second.
It is not hard to notice the hatred between these two.
Luther obviously hates everyone and I expect people t
DISCLAIMER! THE CHAPTER CONTAINS SEXUAL ASSAULT. IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE READING THAT KINDLY SKIP TO THE NEXT CHAPTER. I PROMISE YOU WON'T MISS MUCH.I gag the minute his nasty lips press on mine, jerking my head away and I end up hitting my head slightly on the metallic edge of the headrest.This is the most disgusting shit that has ever happened to me and it makes me want to puke my guts out.It is very horrendous.I don't want to scream, if I yell he will take advantage and shove his filthy tongue inside my mouth and I would die before I let that happen.I would rather feed on someone's poop than have his saliva inside my mouth because that would be the last thing I ever taste.He is trying to part my pursed lips using his disgusting tongue and I am doing my best to keep them pursed.I make an effort to shove him away but the more I push him from me, the
"That will happen over my dead body!""I don't have a problem with you putting on a fight, I would actually love that." He says, laughing."Get off me, asshole!"I cough when his hands grab my neck and then he starts to choke me again."I will kill you if I have to! Do not dare me!" He lets go of my neck and I take a desperate breath."Why are you doing this to me? What did I ever do to you?"He smirks at me."You didn't do anything, babes. I am doing this because I can.""You will spend the rest of your life in jail. I will make you pay for assaulting me you psycho!""I will get away with it, I always do!" He has a sadistic grin on his face."How will you live with yourself knowing that you took advantage of me?"He laughs."You think I care?""How will you leave
I am literally sobbing as I dial Sky's phone number and she answers almost immediately."Jo?"Her voice is hoarse from crying too much I guess, and she sounds so fucking low and very broken."Where are you?" I ask, wiping my tears with the back of my hand."Johnsons hotel. Room number 15." Her voice is drifting away."I will be there in a few. Hold on, okay?""Jo I am..." She trails away."Sky! Sky! Are you there?" I panic and I can't help the paranoia that creeps in."The fuck Sky, don't you dare die on me!" I yell at her through the phone and when she doesn't say anything, I end the call and dial 911."My friend..." I start to say even before they answer my call."911, what's your emergency?" The agent asks me calmly."My friend, she is dying...""Where are you right n
I stare at my signature for a transient second and another tear rolls down my other cheek, but I quickly wipe it away with my thumb and glance at Matt.He is standing a few meters away, and he has his hands tossed inside his pockets, his eyes entirely on me."Give me the check, I am running late." I can literally feel the agony in my voice.He walks towards me, stopping one step away and I slide the signed document towards him.He takes it, and I watch impatiently as he flips through."Signed, signed, signed." He says with a pleased expression on his face, and he puts the document inside a brown envelope."Give me the damn check, Matthew," I say impatiently and he turns towards me with a raised eyebrow."What check? And can you not call me Matthew again?"I suck in a deep breath."Stop this game, I need the cash or a check wh
"What?" Nanny and I gasp in unison."Sky is my sister?" I ask a second later, utterly shocked and I trail my eyes towards Lydia for clarifications.She is busy glaring at dad and she has her fists clenched on either side. It is not so hard to notice how hard she is trying to calm her furious self down and I guess it is taking every ounce of her willpower not to give dad a well-deserved punch.If she wasn't as hurt as she looks right now, I would have thought she is bluffing or I would have concluded that she is high on another drug."Sky is my daughter?" Dad asks a few seconds later and my gaze shifts to him.He is standing approximately one meter away from us and he is staring at Lydia, utterly appalled."You left without a goodbye and I assumed that something bad probably happened to you... I thought you were dead!" She furiously wipes her tears and she crosses her arm
My hand goes automatically to my left cheek and I rub softly in an attempt to ease the pain, blinking rapidly to keep my tears at bay._Dad just hit me?_I grit my teeth furiously and I take a very deep breath trying to calm my furious self down and believe me, it is quite a task. I can't believe that my very own father just slapped me yet he has never hit me in all my twenty-four years. I stood there when he raised his hand, I didn't make any efforts to step away because I didn't expect him to slap me, but he did."You slapped me?" I ask, looking up at him and he shoots me a glare as he paces around, hands shoved in his pockets.I expected to see remorse masking his entire face but there is nothing. His face is void of emotions."You hit your own daughter?" Lydia asks, she is shocked just like I am."And I will gladly slap her other cheek if she disrespects me again."&n
I stare at Matthew blankly. My eyes popping out and my mouth hanging wide open in utter shock as his words echo inside my head._You are dropping the charges._I scoff, shaking my head in disbelief.Matthew didn't just say that. He didn't fucking tell me to drop the charges."What?" I ask.I want him to say the words again, I heard him the first time but I am having a hard time believing that those words came from him.He glances at me."You are not going to write a statement against Luther."God! This is so unbelievable. Matt wants me to drop the charges against a man that attempted to rape me? I honestly don't know what I was expecting, but I certainly didn't expect him to side with Luther at all.Ain't he supposed to be angry at him? Like extremely furious?He is not supposed to be okay with the fact that anothe
"Are you okay?" Ava asks when I get closer to her desk and I nod. "You don't look okay." She observes, concern masking her pretty face."I am okay, Ava." She raises a skeptical eyebrow at me. "Really," I add, forcing a smile at her."That there is a sad smile, it is betraying you." She says, a frown forming on her face and I take a deep breath in an attempt to calm myself down."You are a perceptive one, huh?" I ask leaning slightly on the desk and she chuckles."Always." And then she assumes a serious face. "You know you can talk to me about anything, right?" I open my mouth to say a casual yes, but she beats me to it. "We haven't known each other for a long time but I am here anytime you need someone to talk to." I smile at her, a genuine smile this time.Ava is such a darling.
I watch mom shove two tablets in her mouth, downing them with a gulp of water and I cringe. I really hate medicine but mom is not in anyway bothered by the many tablets placed on her bedside, I can't say the same about Kelly though.She hates them as much as I do and I had a very hard time convincing her to take the pills yesterday. Thank God Ric took over the duty this morning.He arrived an hour ago and after running some tests on mom, he joined Arya, Kelly's physiotherapist and according to Ric, she is the best that our state got.I should be there with Kelly but I couldn't tolerate watching her in so much pain, the session is not exactly a walk in the park, so I switched place with dad.Talking of dad, he didn't tell Sky the truth yesterday, apparently, he just wanted to see how she is doing and you can be sure as hell that Lydia didn't give him a warm welcome and that he left withou
I wake up to a shattering sound in the kitchen and I shoot up immediately, placing both my hands on my chest.Fuck!My heart is pounding so hard and I can't help the paranoia that creeps in at the thoughts of someone breaking in to hurt us, but I get some relief when I glance at the wall clock.It is 8:00 in the morning and I don't think anyone would break into people's place in daylight, probably nanny broke something by accident.I get out of Kelly's bed and walk towards her, she is lying peacefully on the bed that Ric brought since she can't use a normal bed. I stand there staring at her with a huge smile on my face.I am so happy.Waking up knowing that Kelly and mom are feeling better makes me so happy and the fact that they are home makes me feel so contended.I couldn't believe it yesterday when I came home and found them settled in, I
I heave a sigh of relief when we succeed in dodging the reporters who were trying to get to me with all sorts of questions about Matthew and Luther, but fortunately, the police did a good job of pushing them away and Ric shielded me from their view and the cameras the entire time."That was quite a task," I say as we walk through the hallway towards the wards.Kelly and mom have already been transferred to the wards and Ric is taking me to see them."You can say that again, those guys are very nosy." He says in a very irritated sound and he looks more pissed than he sounds."Unfortunately, that is what they are paid to do," he shakes his head."Still, that is too much. They should learn to take no for an answer, they were practically shoving their mike in our mouths. It is not ethical at all and I am so sure that it goes against their codes too."We make to go past the e
I thought Luther's death would give me some sort of relief. I assumed I would be a very happy person now that the person who wanted to hurt me and my family is dead, I won't walk around with a target on my back or worry about Luther hurting Kelly and mom. I thought I would be okay, I am supposed to feel okay, his death is supposed to make me feel better and relieved.But I feel quite the opposite, if anything. I feel sad, I feel sorry for West and it is a shocker that my humanity is still unscathed even after the hell that I have been through.No matter how hard I try to get rid of the image, the scene is still stuck in my head and there is nothing I can do about it.Luther's body lying in a pool of blood, West crying painfully begging his son to wake up, asking him to open his eyes, the police announcing that Luther is dead and two cops pulling a traumatized West up.I keep replaying that sce
The hair on the back of my neck stands up and every muscle in my body tenses."WHAT? WHERE?" I ask as a sudden overwhelming feeling of fear surges through me. "Please tell me that mom and Kelly are safe." I plead.My heart is beating fast and wild against my chest and I can feel my blood pumping so fast and hard in my veins.If Luther gets to them...Fuck!I shut my eyes tight in an attempt to push the thoughts of Luther hurting either mom or Kelly out of my mind but it doesn't work.God!They better be safe."They are okay for now, I have seen him at the reception and I am rushing to the ICU to alert the police guards." Ric tells me and I can hear his ruffled breaths through the phone."Okay. I am on my way.""No. Don't risk coming over, I want you to get out of West's office and hide somewhe
I debate whether to go back to Wendy's room or not, after I end my call with Celine, but the former wins.Wendy is still sitting on the bed, resting her head on the head rest and she stares at me with disinterest when I push the door open.I know my presence is boring her to death but I will be out of this place before she knows it."It is obvious you don't want to see me." I say walking inside."I was hoping it is, so why are you here anyway?""I came to see how you are doing and to apologise for pushing you yesterday." My eyes linger on the bandage around her upper arm. "It was an accident.""You already did that less than ten minutes ago." She says curtly."You got no bad blood?"I want to be sure that she won't be suing my poor ass later."I am grateful if anything, you did the dirty work for me." She says with n
Celine stands there, startled. I know she didn't expect to find me here and neither did I and I can't help but speculate why she is here.She looks like she just woke up, jumped from the bed and drove here. I can bet anything that she didn't even take a shower and my only guess is that Matty already told her what happened that is why she looks super distressed so early in the morning.Because her precious son was arrested.Matthew spent just a night in jail and she already looks like this??I can't wait to see her two week from now because I know Matthew is not getting out and Celine will be depressed to death.I stand there waiting for her to scold me, call me names, slap me, snap at me asking what I am doing in his son's office or do all of the above but to my surprise, she does neither of those things."Jo?" She calls my name after a long silence and
"We have a bathroom in case you want to clean yourself up." Isabell, the forensic nurse, tells me after she is done examining and doing a few vaginal swabs on me."Thank you but I would rather do that in the house." I say, getting out of the examination bed.I have been lying on the bed for the past thirty minutes, legs wide apart and I was starting to feel numb."Are you on birth control?" She asks, walking towards the desk as I follow her."Nope.""Please have a seat, I will be right back."She disappears to another room on the left and I sit on the chair to wait for her.A few seconds later, she walks back carrying a glass of water and three blister packs and she places the glass on the desk, right in front of me."Here," she hands me a pack of emergency pills. "You will take one tablet and the other one s
I am coiling myself up on the couch completely naked, trembling from the cold, my mind a million miles away and by the time it strikes me that I should cover up, Enzo is already standing besides me. I can't see his face from this position, but I can see his legs and I feel his eyes on me.I want to quickly grab my torn dress from the floor and cover my nakedness but I can't even lift my finger. I feel so numb and so weak, I just lay there completely exposed and very conscious.Enzo cusses under his breath as he covers me from chest to my mid-thigh with his jacket and then he kneels besides me.He stares at me for a long second and in his eyes, I can see a hint of fury and concern and compassion and another emotion that I can't make out.He reaches to touch my face and I recoil. I know this is Enzo and deep down I know he can't hurt me but I can't help it. I feel so paranoid."
