CHAPTER 2
“I was raped”
*******************
I was in the luxury and beautifully furnished living room with Felix, we were cuddling each other with one of his hands fondling my nipple and watching a movie, when we heard a knock on the door.
“Who is there?” Felix called out.
It’s me “Davy”
“Any problem Davy?”
“No boss, “There’s something to show you”
Davy is Felix’s gateman, and they have a friendly relationship. Felix stood up, gave me a kiss, and went to unlock the door, with the intention of attending to him by the door because I was just in a diaphanous lingerie.
After opening the door, we found out he wasn’t alone. The situation went sour, when five armed men, masked and reeked of alcohol and cigarettes stormed in. Davy was knocked unconscious.
We quickly bent over, and began panicking, and pleading for our safety as fear gripped us, when one of them said out loudly, I guess it was the boss. “Keep quiet and hand over your valuables before I blow off your heads”
Felix stood up hastily and went in with two of the guys. One of them held a gun to his back and issued him a stern warning, “You better be calm, if you try to play smart with me, I won’t think twice of ending your damn life”.
“Okay sir, please don’t harm us, I will give you everything I have”, Felix said.
Another man then replied, “I hope what you have will be enough”
After they went in, I wished I could go in with them, I was left alone with those armed men, almost unclad.
The boss told me to sit up and kept admiring me, “sexy and pretty girl, the guy has a good taste in women.”
The rest of the gang laughed and one said “Boss would you like to have a taste?” fear gripped me when I heard that.
The boss replied “come on, shut it, is that what we came here for?” I was somewhat relieved.
They came out after sometime and one of the guy said “He doesn’t have much valuables, just this Rolex watch and a few thousand Euros
The boss said to me, “where are your gold and diamonds?”
“I don’t stay here, I only came to visit my fiance”, I said.
“So you both aren’t married and you are dressed like this”, he said with disgust in his eyes. One would think he was morally upright.
“What about your gadgets?” he said. We quickly handed him our phones including Felix’s laptop, then he started looking at me seductively.
“This operation is futile”, he said.
Felix saw how he was looking at me and quickly spoke “I don’t keep cash at home, but you can give me my phone and your account details, so I can make a transfer to you” in a bid to make him take his eyes off of me.
The man started to laugh, “And then you report us to the authorities after we leave to track down our asses? “You really think we’re stupid, right?”
“No,” we promise not to report you guys to the police or any authorities” Felix said.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“I don’t want your money, let me have a taste of your girl. Since you both aren’t even married yet”, he said, and his gang laughed wickedly.
“Please sir, I beg you don’t do this to me” I pleaded profusely.
“Please sir, we are getting married in a month’s time, don’t do this please” Felix pleaded.
“You better stand up and go to the room, before I blow off your fiance’s head” he pointed a gun to Felix.
One of them moved closer to me, drag me up and led me to the room where I was raped, I was expecting to be mercilessly and brutally raped like a dog but to my surprise he was gentle.
When they left, I felt bad and used, I cried like a fool, I wished I hadn’t come around.
In the morning we realized we were the only ones robbed, Felix suggested that we don’t tell the authorities, so everyone doesn’t get to know I was raped. He did a first aid treatment on Davy, paid him off, told him to keep quiet and told him his service is no longer needed as he will be selling off the house and relocating so I don’t keep remembering the bad memories.
“We will be fine baby, we just need to stop thinking about it”, he said as he gave me a peck and then drew me into a reassuring embrace.
The memories keep haunting me but Felix had been so supportive and caring, he kept reassuring him of his unwavering love and support. I even told him we should postpone the wedding but he rejected and said we should get married.
We continued the wedding plans, without telling anyone about the gruesome experience. Until how he embarrassed me at the altar on our wedding day.
*******************
I woke up in my room, mom back turned at me staring at an empty space. Weakly I called “Mom”
“My baby”, she said as she walked towards me, sitting beside me, tears welled up in her eyes as she took my hands and kissed it.
“What happened?” I asked.
“You fainted when you received a break up message from Felix” she said.
I remembered my ordeals and started crying, she pulled me in a tight hug and whispered “stop crying baby, you will be fine”.
“What about the guests at the church?”
“They all left Judith, it was so bad. I’m so sorry for everything”
She didn’t press for details, she just watched me cry and patted my back.
Mom has been a friend and sister to me since my father died when I was still in high school. She saw me through school single handedly by working multiple jobs and never taking a break.
When I told her I was getting married, she was so happy her baby girl is now a grown up woman and she looked forward to my wedding more than anyone else.
I told her about my ordeal once I felt a little better. She pitied me and wished I had told her earlier, but she also stood by me, encouraging me to move on, as it isn’t the end of the world.
“You are a strong and beautiful woman, Judith,. I know you will put this behind you, you didn’t wish for it and I know God knows best”
My mom who’s a strong Christian and unwavering in her faith, always trust in God’s plan and purpose.
I believed her and hoped for a better future, but my hope shattered when my worst nightmare unfolded before me.
