She made for the entrance of the shed but Gaius was smart enough to intercept her. He placed his arms on her shoulders firmly. Gaius said, there was a look of expectations in his eyes as he locked then with hers. “Please, Hanna. I’ll make it up to you.” “ I don’t know. I really need the money from the extra hours.” Gaius threw a sharp glance at his wristwatch and his desperation grew “Come on, please? I’ll owe you one. All you have to do is make your price” He clasped his hand in front of her and silently hoped that she would give in. Hanna chuckled when she heard his plea. One thing that never ceases to amuse her only her coworker was now convincing he could be at work. It was not a new fact that Gaius’ sales skills were powerful enough to convince even the most stubborn customers at the bar to order drinks for themselves. She threw her hands up in the air, feeling more than surrendered “ Alright, fine. But just this once. “Yes!! You’re the best, Hanna. Thank you so much.” Ga
Elise groaned playfully. “Ugh, fine. Let me just grab my bag.”As they walked out of the apartment, they ran into Sophia, a woman who had never liked Elise. Sophia sneered at Elise and said, “Well, hello, Elise. I see you’re still wasting your time on that loser, Richard.”Elise took a deep breath, trying not to let Sophia’s words get to her. “Sophia, can we please just be civil?” she replied, her voice calm.Sophia laughed bitterly. “Oh, Elise. You’re always the same. Always pretending to be so nice and innocent. I know what kind of person you really are.”Richard stepped in front of Elise, his voice stern. “Sophia, leave us alone. We don’t have time for your negativity.”Sophia rolled her eyes before flouncing off, leaving Elise and Richard standing in the hallway.“That woman really knows how to push my buttons,” Elise muttered, her hands shaking slightly.Richard put his arm around her waist, pulling her close. “Don’t let her get to you, Elise. She’s not worth it.”Elise leaned in
Sly’s smile faltered slightly, but he didn’t deny it. “Yeah, that Hannah.” He was about to turn away and go into his room when he paused in his tracks and looked at Ken with raised brows.“How did you know Hanna’s age?”Ken lifted his left shoulder in an half shrug, “Does that question matter at this point”Sly folded his arms on his chest and glared at him “I demand to know how you found out her age. Have you been seeing her behind my back?” He frowned.Ken raised two hands up in surrender, “Chill out, Bro. You can’t come at me with such accusatory tone. There is literally nothing that would take me to her. I have got better options” Sly ignored the biting sarcasm in Ken’s words and he pressed further, “Then, go on. Answer the damned question” He barked in a surprisingly loud voice at Ken.Ken rose to his feet, his eyes were trained on Sly’s face. “I found her ID card.” He blurted. “I saw it in your jacket as I was doing the laundry”Sly nodded. “Where the hell did you drop it the
He stated down at her with so much intensity in his eyes.It terrified the hell out of her as crossed both legs over her and sat on her thigh.“What are you trying to do? I need—” She got cut off as his strong palms came heavily on her mouth, sitting out her voice. “Hanna!” Sly growled. “Can you not see that I am madly in love with you?” He said His voice reverberated through the woods and bounded back to them.Cold sweat trickled down the Hanna’s neck as she locked eyes with himShe was numb.He released his hand from her mouth.I screamed. Quickly. Abruptly.The struggle began. She rose her feet in difficulty.He covered her mouth again. He kneed her in the back of her legs so that she would fall down. “You don’t get it, Hanna. I have fallen in love with you and if I don’t taste you first I will not be happy when I leave the island” He said in a bitter voice She struggled some more, trying to push off his weight from her almost tired body.His threat rang out into the air. It was
He tugged harder on her belt, her body pressing up further against his. He grabbed her hair in his fist and balled it up. He drew her head back and looked at her. She began to cry, to plead.“Please don’t,” She said. “Please.”“Shut up.”He kissed her again and this time, he inserted his tongue in her mouth. By pleading, she had left herself open to this. Again he pulled her head back roughly. “Kiss back,” he said.And I did.When he was satisfied, he stopped and tried to work the latch on Her belt. It was a belt with a strange buckle and he couldn’t figure it out. To have him let go of her, for him to leave her alone, she said, “Let me, I’ll do it.”He watched her.When she was done, he unzipped the jeans she wore.“Now take off your shirt.”She had a cardigan sweater on. She took that off. He reached over to help unbutton her shirt. He fumbled.“I’ll do it,” She said again.She unbuttoned the oxford-cloth shirt and, like the cardigan, She peeled it back from her body. It was like
It took a while before he could lift her off the wet ground and trudge through the quiet woods to the main road where his police vehicle had been parked. He carefully opened it up and out her in the back seat before he ran over to the other side of the car and got into the driver’s seat.He took her to the hospital immediately, where she was treated for her injuries and given a rape kit.As she lay in the hospital bed, Elise’s mind was consumed by the horror of what had happened. She couldn’t believe that Sly, someone she had trusted so deeply, could have done something so vile.The following morning, Hanna laid on the hospital bed, her body feeling violated and her mind consumed with the memory of the brutal attack. Her eyes were closed, but she wasn’t asleep – she was lost in thought, replaying the incident over and over in her head.The room was quiet except for the soft hum of medical equipment. The walls were painted a pale blue, and there was a small window that looked out onto
It was not long before avoiding his work calls and watching the news in fear that he might be wanted by the police. His room was dark and messy, with clothes piled up on the floor and empty bottles scattered around. He didn’t care about anything anymore, not even himself.His thoughts were disturbed, swirling around in his head like a storm. He couldn’t believe what he had done, and he didn’t know how to face the consequences. All he knew was that he was a monster, and that he deserved to be punishedAfter two days of locking himself in his apartment he decided to speak up about what he has done and he visited his family house very early the following morning.One thing that had always in endeared him to this house where he spent most of his childhood was that it reeked of wealth. Sly’s family home was a mansion surrounded by lush green gardens, a swimming pool, and a fleet of luxury cars parked outside. The front door was adorned with a grand entrance, and the marble floors shimmer
As Elise cuddled close to Richard, she felt the warmth of his body and the softness of the blanket they shared. They made small talk about the movie, commenting on the plot and the scares. Despite the creepy atmosphere, they both felt relaxed in each other’s company.However, as Richard stayed up after Elise went to bed, the mood in the room changed. His thoughts turned to the stranger he had bumped into at the airport, and the picture of his face kept flashing in his mind. The news about Sly being a direct heir of Hulio Adiento added to the sense of unease in the room. The image of Hulio’s face on the TV screen sent shivers down Richard’s spine as he tried to make sense of the coincidence.Lost in thought, Richard eventually headed to bed with a sinking feeling, wondering what the next day would bring.As Richard stepped out of his house, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and a cool breeze blew across his face. He closed the door behind him, took a deep breath and started walk
