Chapter 11

I dug out my phone in a fit of frustration. By then, 29 minutes had already passed.Why weren't Blake and his people here yet?Perhaps those memories and the narration were aggravating to Anthony, for he began slamming the door forcefully."Open up, Roxanne! If you don't, I'll bust this door down!"I gulped nervously in return. "Based on your logic, are you saying that we're siblings who share the same father?""As if! I don't want to be siblings with a phony like you! Roxanne, hurry up and open the goddamn door! Stop distracting me with bullshit like this!"I exclaimed loudly, "No wonder you refused to even kiss me throughout our three-year relationship! At one point, I thought you were gay!""I knew it, Roxanne! You're just as filthy as the rest of them! Are you that desperate to feel a man's touch? What do you think about the man that I just found for you, huh?"Anthony's voice became so shrill that his voice was all warped. At the same time, the sounds coming from the door

At that moment, the door was busted down with a loud bang. The man mumbled while pinning me down, "Get out, Ant. I'm fine now. Y'all can come in once I'm done with this bitch. Don't worry, I'll definitely pay you…"I just turned to look at the doorway numbly. The moment I saw the people outside, I began tearing up immediately.Blake and the others were finally here!A policeman kicked the middle-aged man off me instantly before helping me up. "Everything's alright now. Don't be scared. We're here now."After going through intense fear, all I could do now was break down emotionally. I couldn't hold my emotions back anymore as I dove into the officer's arms while wailing at the top of my lungs.He seemed to be startled at first. Then, he patted me on the back awkwardly. "There, there…"I refused to listen to what he had to say. The immense relief I felt after surviving such an ordeal made me firmly believe that I could trust this officer with my life and that I felt safe in his a

That night, I sat on the bench outside the police station and waited for Naomi there after the police had taken my statement. Naomi was worried about me, so she was adamant about spending the night with me in the hotel.Daniel plopped down on the spot next to me. "Don't… Don't be scared. And uh, don't be sad."It took me a moment longer than necessary to tilt my head and look at him. A few moments later, I finally replied softly, "Yeah. I'm not scared anymore. I feel very safe with you guys around. I'm not sad as well."When I saw the look of disbelief on Daniel's face, I forced a smile. "Trust me, I'm done feeling disappointed and sad about Anthony's actions over a year ago. My love for him has already dissipated over the number of times his façade crumbled in front of me."Honestly speaking, I'm thankful to Blake. If it wasn't for him pestering and convincing me for so long, I might not have found out about Anthony's true colors. Perhaps I might've gotten sold off to another ma

Meanwhile, Naomi would be sending Janice back to her home, which was located in Brumon City.First, Daniel took me to the local police station in Apolea City. After that, we went back to my house under the accompaniment of the local police. They ended up taking my father away for investigative purposes.My mom was shocked at first. When she heard me recounting the incident I had gone through with reddened eyes, her eyes turned red as well."Oh god… Thank goodness you're back, Roxy! Otherwise, I don't think I'll be able to continue living in this world without you! I can't believe that Parson bastard broke up with that poor woman in this way back then! What a monster! I'm going to file for a divorce with him right away!"Only then did my mom tell me about the incident she had kept a secret for more than 20 years.Back then, she had found out about my dad cheating on her with another woman when she was pregnant with me.
