As Mirabel bent down to nurse her burning cheek, Curtis pushed her down on the make shift bed and tore open her dress, the buttons flying in different directions.She fought but his youthful strength was too much for her.Pinning her hands behind her head, he tore off her pants and unzipped his trousers and brought out his throbbing length and without further Ado, his knees nudging her legs apart, he drive into her.He felt like he was home at last. He had longed for this right from the first. He had not come to her house to do this but he just could no longer control his desires.He kept riding her as she screamed and screamed.He found a cloth near by and stuff her mouth with it so that her screams were muffled.Her hands were aching terribly behind her head where he had pinned it and her thighs hurt as well, she felt like she was choking on the cloth in her mouth and decided it was best if she stopped screaming before her breath got cut off or she choked to death.While he rode, he
Mirabel told herself that she was a survivor and would not stay home dwelling in self pity.She started getting her things ready to go to her business place.She was not going to allow her business to fail before it had even started because of another beast which had happened to come into her life.After making the preparations, she felt tired and slept. She woke early the next day and went to her place of business.No one looking at her would have known that she had undergone such an ordeal the previous day.As the day went on, she was shocked to see the MacDonalds come into the Tasty Place and sat.Then Jaden happened to look her way and the blood drained on his face.He wanted to leave immediately but did not know what excuse to give.They had heard so much about the new eatery in town and had come to try it out but what was Mirabel doing here? Was she one of the workers here or what? If that was so, he would make friends with the owner and make sure she was thrown out of there.He
Mirabel placed a notice advertising for helps needed to serve in the Tasty Place.Mr. Jonas saw it and removed it immediately.'Fo you want the whole neighbourhood and it's surroundings to fill here? And majority of those who will apply will be people of questionable character who may just run you to the ground', he said.'But what should I do? I really need help in this place before I break down doing everything on my own. Even the customers are complaining'.'I shall get you some people that I know are trust worthy so that you can choose those you prefer'.Mirabel hugged him. 'What can I do without you?' she asked happily and realising that she had hugged him stiffened.Mr. Jonas saw her sudden reaction and was surprised.'What is the problem?''Nothing. I just remembered that I have some things to do. Thanks for your offer. I shall be expecting them soonest', she said as she went in.Mirabel felt bad. How could she even think to suspect Mr. Jonas. He was like a father to her. But
While Mirabel was busy with her eatery, Jaden was busy hatching a plan to get back at her for the injury she inflicted on him.'How dare she do such a thing. And I was her boss too. She was supposed to serve me any way that I asked but she chose to go rogue and show that she was wiser than herself. Well she will have to bear the consequences.After I am done with her, she will leave this place for a city far from here. Afterall that was her original plan'.Jaden had been watching to see those Mirabel interacted with and those who visited her and had noticed that there was almost no one who visited her.He had thought that she must have a male friend who was helping her out financially.Since the last time he and his family had gone to that godforsaken place of hers, he had been giving one excuse after another to his family why he could not take them there. He wondered how much longer he would have to deny them that. But it made him furious to see that she was making such progress with
Jaden considered his question. 'You asked to know who I was and that was why I explained myself to you'.'Yes but you were not under any obligation to do that. You could have just walked away and I would not have done anything but you took your time to explain all these to me, it tells me that you have something in mind.And by the way, what are you doing in Mirabel's vicinity? If she really did all you said she did, then you should be far from her, but you still come loitering round her. Are you spying on her? It looks like that but why?' Curtis asked and Jaden had to admit that the young man was really astute.'I want something from you'.'And what might that be? What could I possibly give a gentleman who seem to have it all?''Before I tell you what I want you to do for me, I'd like for you to tell me what it is there is between you two'.'There is nothing really'. he said.'It didn't look like it just now and someone you have nothing with couldn't possibly cause you to be so downc
After his discussion with Jaden, Curtis spoke with a few boys who always did his bidding. Jaden had said that he was willing to pay them to do the job but that he would have to speak to them privately.When he was sure of the three boys who would help him execute the plan he and Jaden had hatched, he called Jaden to inform him that they were ready and he had briefed the boys but that they wanted their money before acting.Jaden told them the day he would come to see them and on that day, they were waiting for him at a planned place and after giving each of the three boys some dollar notes, asked Curtis to excuse him since he would like to speak to them in private.'But is there really any need for that, we are in this together, what is all the secret about then?''I just want to warn them about messing this plan up, because not only will they pay me back my money but would pay an additional dollar as interest'.Jaden said and Curtis went out to give them the needed privacy. He could no
Curtis pretended to be shocked.'You can't be serious. Please you have taken her money, leave now!''Or what will you do? Call the police? You are not in a position to threaten us. You better have sex with her now or we shall teach you how it is done'.Curtis looked at Mirabel who was staring at the boys in shock. This could not be happening. Not again. Please let this be a joke. She prayed silently while looking for something with which to defend herself.Everything that would have been effective was out of reach and going for them could alert and antagonize the boys and they could carry out their threats.Curtis looked at her imploringly and whispered, 'What shall we do? If I don't, they will gang rape you'.Mirabel did not know what to do. She did not want Curtis to touch her and she did not want the boys to force their way with her. She was in a dilemma.The matter was taken out of her hands by the boys who tore at her cloths and Curtis had to beg them not to lay a finger on her.
Curtis sprinkled water on Mirabel and she pretended to become conscious again.Her face was swollen but it was not an issue for her but she saw the pity for her in Curtis eyes. She did not want his pity or anything from him for that matter.She stood and she would have injured Curtis with a knife but she was still not very strong and there was no one around to help her. She could barely move her legs.As soon as she got a little bit of strength, she looked at Curtis with her swollen eyes.'Thanks alot. You were a real friend back there and you are still here to tend to me. If you had not been here, I do not know what I would have done'.Curtis was happy that she thought that way.'Don't mention it. What do we do now? We should get you to a hospital', he suggested.'No. But you could get to a pharmacy for me and tell them that your sister had been gang raped and you need drugs for her',. She made as though to get her bag but Curtis stopped her.'Don't! I shall use my money. Afterall I
Jonas woke her as they got home and she was so sleepy,that she did not see the person standing by the door, welcoming them with a smile.She had almost passed him by when he grabbed her hands thinking that she had intentionally ignored him.She looked up to find Joel there. She was shocked. She had not expected to see him, then she recalled that he had not come to court. He could stay at home bit not come to court. It could only mean that he was ashamed of her and didn't want to be identified with her. Jonas had left them tactfully and gone inside.Mirabel tried to snatch her hands away but Joel held on tightly.'You make a wonderful speech. I did not know you could beat that lawyer at his own game', he said laughing.Mirabel was surprised. How did he know? They had just got home and Jonas had not had the time to speak to him, except of course if he had actually been there. But how could he be there and at home at the same time? He must have followed it either on TV or newspaper but i
'The accused lived with us after her mother's death and since she was going to be working full time with us and living in, I put her through alot if tests and she passed them all'.'Sorry, ma'am what kind of tests are we talking about here?' Chapman asked warming up to his cross-examination.'To determine her honesty, I would leave wades of currency, jewelries and other valuables, that someone coming from a humble background such as hers would have taken advantage of and hidden but she always brought them back to me thinking that I had misplaced them unintentionally. This caused me to come to trust her and I took her as my sister and treated her as such but little did I know what was going on under my nose'.Everyone in court knew what was coming next. The woman was going to say how Mirabel seduced her husband for money.'I did not know that the husband whom I had done so much for and loved dearly and trusted with all my heart was not only cheating me outside our home but disrespectin
Mr. Taylor had let her question sink in and have the desired effect before asking Mr. Chapman to cross examine Mirabel. He had not expected her to ask the question but was glad that she had done that and in a very cool detached tone that was very effective.Mr. Chapman himself had not known that the girl was as intelligent as that and was determined to throw her, though he did not know how to get about it except of course trying to get her angry so that she could lose that very chilling confidence she had.' Miss Cole, is it not true that you had secretly desired each one of your friends?''What do you think? That a girl could like all five or six of her friends romantically at the same time even if she were a nymph?''I was coming to that. You are a nymph, Miss Cole are you not?'Mirabel was getting impatient with this prosecutor but she refused to give him the satisfaction of showing her annoyance and impatience with him. She was going to throw him, defeat him by being patience pers
'Is it not true that since you share a daughter - father relationship with Miss Cole, she will have confided in you what her plans were?' Chapman asked.'She told me that she would teach them a le....''... a little lesson, bla bla bla like you have told the court in great detail. it being as close as you are with her, could this not be the excuse you both came up with, a plot to mislead the court?''Objection, my lord'.'Sustained. Prosecutor, limit yourself to questioning the witness and not forcing your assumptions on him'.'Mr. Jonas, how is it possible that a girl who claim to have adopted as your daughter would be gang raped and you do not feel inclined to report to the authorities to ensure that they are punished?''I respected my daughter's wishes and you we'll know how women who have been ravished are looked on as spoilt goods. All these made me reconsider'.'Is it not possible that you planned all these with your daughter to escape justice? Being gang raped indeed!''Do yo
Two regular customers of Mirabel were called to the stand and both of the testified that she did not behaved abnormally and that she was very cheerful and respectful. She treated her customers with courtesy and even when they were rude and hard to please, she still devised meNs to satisfy them and keep them happy and coming. That was why the patronage of her eatery kept growing which would have been otherwise if she had had any mental problems.'That is not a kind of problem you hid for long'. One of them said.Chapman had no questions for them and then Taylor calked Dr. Rutherford to the stand.'Welcome doctor, may we meet you?' Taylor said, this was to establish the authencity of the man.'I am Dr. Peter Rutherford. I work at the General hospital here in London as a consultant and a specialist in the field of psychiatric and neurology'.'Please doctor, have you under any circumstances examined the accused Miss Cole?''Yes I have'.'What was the basis of the examination?''Well to de
Chapman was almost gloating and Taylor could not blame him at all. 'Your witness, Taylor', he said knowing that any question Taylor threw at Liam would only implicate his client further and aggravate the already angry spectators.'No questions!' Taylor said looking straight at Liam.Wise! Chapman thought.'Well I have one other person to call to the witness stand, Your Honour'.The judge nodded though praying that it was not another witness with a slashed penis. The case against the innocent looking girl was becoming very gruesome and he just wanted to be done with it.'I call Curtis to the witness box'.Curtis walked confidently to the stand, sparing Mirabel a glance that seem to say, you will have what is coming to you today as we take our revenge on you.'Curtis, could you tell us what your full name is?''Curtis Trowler'.'How did you meet the accused?''She came to my mother's shop to buy some groceries and it was much and I happened to be going the same way as she and I helped
The court was adjourned till the next day and Taylor was determined to get some witnesses to testify on their own behalf.He had made a call to a doctor he knew and asked that they met, and taken Mirabel to him for an examination and asked that the paper work be ready. He was sure that the doctor would be pleased to come to court to attest to the fact that Mirabel was not mentally unbalanced as the testimony against her seem to indicate.Mirabel was not very happy that Joel had not been attending the proceedings with them. His presence no matter how disapproving he might be would have given her more moral support.Jonas as though reading her mind had assured her that Joel was following the proceedings as he records and sends to him due to the demands of his job that had hindered him from coming personally.Mirabel knew that he was just saying that to console her. If she really meant anything to him, he would allow by gones be bygones and would have been there to lend his emotional sup
Adam Taylor, Mirabel's lawyer was impressed at the way the boys gave their testimony. It was evident to him that they had had enough coaching and from the best as well. He was almost convinced himself but he was going to fight back now that he had seen that they were fighting dirty.Chapman, the plaintiff lawyer called the next witness to the stand and this was James Abrams.It was evident to all present that James was indeed a very handsome boy but there was this scar on his face that belied his good looks as you looked at it but out of sight, you would love to keep looking at him.'You are James. James what?' Chapman asked.'James Abrams'.His voice was as sweet as his face was handsome. The deep timbre of his voice caused all eye to be fixed on him, it was hypnotizing.'I want to know if you know Miss Cole?''Yes, I do. We are acquinted'.'Oh, you are not really friends but acquinted?''Yes. I had met her when she parked newly into the neighborhood. She had looked so lost without
Mirabel had wanted to shout at the top of her lungs that Adam was lying through his teeth during his testimony but looking at Jonas in shock, he had gestured for her to calm down, telling her there would be time for her to state her own case and then people will have no option but to sympathize with her. He said this to convince not just Mirabel but himself as well because though he did not want to lose faith, it was not looking promising at all as their lawyer had foreseen.Mr. Chapman decided to call another witness to the stand. The quicker they were done with the heating, the better. He was sure that they had no witnesses and it was going to be difficult for people to take the testimony of a girl whose reputation was in doubt over five young boys who had injuries yo show for their efforts. She could get off with a less sentence of being mentally ill to inflict the boys with such injuries and would have to be taken to a mental clinic which was not a little sentence st all.'I wish
