She slapped her hard across her face and Yolanda was forced to hold her cheeks, tears rolling uncontrollably from her eyes.
She grabbed her violently. “How dare you!!! You kílled him!! Bítch!!” She yelled, shaking her roughly.
“You kílled him!! You kílled him!! You Füçking kílled him!!!” She yelled frustratedly.
“No, I didn’t… I didn’t, he… I didn’t…” She pushed her roughly and immediately rushed out of the room.
“Hey!!! Come back here!! Nico!” Bella screamed crouching down.
“Nico!!!!” She screamed, heartbroken.
“Come back here, Yolanda!!!” She shouted before getting on her feet and chasing her.
Yolanda kept running, her heart thumping loudly against her chest.
“I didn’t kîll him, I didn’t kîll him…” She kept mumbling as she Bella chased her.
She stopped running and decided to hide somewhere, she’ll go back later.
She opened the nearest room door immediately she heard her footsteps getting louder.
It was dark inside and she thought no one was inside, she locked the door before resting her back on it.
Slowly, she slid down hugging her knees as she sobbed quietly. The images of what happened appeared in her head and she closed her ears tightly.
“Nooo!”
He can’t be deàd. She couldn’t have kîlled someone, no!
“You suddenly arrived.” She heard a deep masculine voice said, that was when she realized she wasn’t the only one in the room.
She immediately wiped off her tears, raising her head from her knee. She looked forward but couldn’t see anyone… The only light in the room was that of the moonlight which penetrated into the room through the partly closed curtains.
The person suddenly got off the bed which he had been sitting on, his silhouette could now be seen as he walked through the dim light.
“Wh-who are you?” She stuttered.
“I’ve been waiting for you…” He said as he tried to locate her in the dark.
She immediately stood up in fright. After what happened earlier, she was scared of boys… Who was he waiting for??
She thought and made to leave the room immediately but he dragged her back and forcefully kissed her.
“Let me go!!” She cried as the boy pushed her back on the bed. Her glasses fell. It was dark in the room so she couldn’t see his face.
She began hearing sounds, like he was unbuckling his belt.
‘No no… God please help me.’ She prayed inwardly as she tried looking for her glasses in the dark, she can’t see without it.
“Please let me go. I’m a virgin.” She cried as she shifted on the bed.
“Shhh… Let’s have fun.” He said and she knew he had join her on the bed.
She shook her head. She can’t possibly lose her virginity to a stranger.
“No please! Don’t do this!” She begged, even though she couldn’t see him.
He paid deaf ear to her pleas as he dragged her on the bed and he torn her clothes successfully in the dark.
“No please!!! Someone help!!” She cried as he stripped her naked.
She couldn’t push him off, she was just a weak and naive young lady.
“Please!!”
“Arghhh!!!! Nooo!!!” She cried as he pushed his full size into her at once.
That was it!
She got r@ped that unfaithful day! She couldn’t advert the fate that says she was gonna be r@ped that day.
She was r@ped by a total stranger. She knew nothing about him. He took her virginity and left her heartbroken and shattered.
When she woke up the next morning, he was gone… She left the room in pains, blood dripping down her legs. Her torn clothes make her looked more horrible…
As if that wasn’t enough, she met Bella with the hotel managements and it seemed like they’ve been waiting for her.
Immediately get saw her, they attacked. “Here! She’s the one!” Bella barked, she was still in tears.
“Officer arrest her!” She heard someone said and that was when she noticed the police and the press who was also present there.
“Miss Yolanda Adams, you’re under arrest for attempted murder…” That was all she heard before she passed out.
All she wished for was never to wake up from the sleep… She wanted to d!e… She h@tëd her life so much.
She was arrested and to be tried in court. No one believed her when she told them that she was only trying to defend herself as he wanted to ràpe her…
Who would believe?
He was her boyfriend, so?? No one consider it as a self defence… She already lost hope… She was gonna be imprisoned for life.
If not for her dad who had unwithering faith in her, she would have been in jail.
Even when he had no idea that she had a boyfriend, he believed her. It was really difficult but he was able to get a lawyer who was able to defend her in court…
They were able to prove her act of self defence and she was freed… But that incident left a huge stigma in her life.
She couldn’t go back to the college again because of this and had to be transferred to another college in Mexico and that was when the new Yolanda was birthed.
She threw her weak, naive and timid attitude that very day… Once bitten twice shy.
“Only God know how much I stopped myself from nit committing sucíde, I was drained, broken and torn… The pains were so much… Who would have thought I will leave more than that??” She questioned rhetorically, tears keep rolling down her eyes, uncontrollably.
“Even though I kílled him out of self defence, his death still haunts me! I kílled him…” She cried.
“Shush… You didn’t kîll him… He deserved it.” He tried to pacify.
God knows how much he was trying to not to cry right now.
“Now you know my past… We’re now four who knows it, me, dad, nanny Clara and you…”
“Your mom doesn’t know?” He asked in surprise.
“Of course not! How would she know, when she was out of the country then for a business trip… You’re the only one I’ve told this past of mine… And I did that simply because I want to let go off it and I hope it let go off me as well… So please, let me cry my heart out for the last time… Pl-le-eas…” She choked up in tears.
“… Su- sure, most times it’s good to cry out loud, to release all the pains you’ve been holding in for so long, so go ahead.” He said and she burst into fresh tears.
“Wait, what was the name of the hotel?” He asked suddenly, he really needed to be sure.
“I can’t remember but it was something Light’s House or House Light… I can’t remember. It’s a popular hotel in MC.” She sniffed and his eyes dilated.
“Why did you ask tho??” She hiccupped.
“Nothing… Continue crying…” She swallowed hard.
Royal Light House?? MC?? Ahh! He was doomed!
He thought inwardly.
He didn’t know how time flew but he watched her cry for close to two hours before falling asleep while crying.
Currently she was sleeping, with her head on his chest. She hiccupped and he sighed before taking her into the room.
He placed her on the bed, traces of tears could be spotted on her face. She was surely gonna have a serious headache tomorrow morning.
“I’m sorry.”
His mind wavered back to what she told him… He was the one!
< FLASHBACK >
NEXT MORNING**
He woke with a slight headache, he made to get down from the bed, that was when he realized he wasn’t alone on the bed…
Suddenly, last night event rushed into his head… He r@ped someone… Gawd!!
He sat up and looked beside him…
“Please let me go, I’m a virgin!” Her voice rang in his head and guilt washed over his face immediately.
He was drugged… It was under the influence of drug, that was what made him d@mn horny last night…
But he remembered he asked for a slut to be brought to him but she came… He wanted to let her go but the drug took control of him.
“Damnit!!” He yelled frustratedly.
He couldn’t face her so he quickly left the room after putting on his clothes. He had left when he noticed her necklace which was entangled with his bracelet.
He wanted to go return it but what if she had woken up… No! He couldn’t face her so he just left.
So she is the one?? He asked, staring at the necklace… He was now at his closet.
Gawd! I’m doomed for real!
He lamented, tears slid down his eyes immediately.
How was he gonna face her?? He caused a great stigma in her life, it can’t be removed.
Who the heck sent him to a party?? Gosh! Of everyone, why does it have to be her??
“Ahh!” He lamented again as he walked to the balcony.
Now she wasn’t here, he could cry his heart out??
Was she ever going to forgive him if she finds out?? He… Gawd!!
He cried uncontrollably.
°°°°°
< NEXT MORNING >
She squinted her eyes opened, a ray of sunlight coming into the room through the slightly opened curtains.
She yawned before sitting up. She could feel slight headache nudging at her.
She began hearing low shuffling sound, that was when she recognized Miguel’s presence in the room.
She turned to see their travelling bags packed up and Miguel was still rummaging the wardrobe.
She furrowed her brows.
“Miguel?” She called and he immediately turned around.
“Oh, you’re awake. Good morning.” He greeted, feigning a smile.
“Morning…” She dragged her reply giving him a questioning look.
“Oh.” He uttered when he understood the look. He looked at the luggages and back at her.
“We’re leaving.” He said, avoiding her gaze.
TBC…
