Chapter 5 ALESSANDRA POV

Some days have gone by, and I haven't heard from Alessandro. I'm wondering what happened. I don't have his number, and I feel really sad. I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to leave. I need to leave. But where to? Alessandro's place is in another country. I do have money, but I can't leave. I'm really scared. What if my father finds me?

***EVENING***

I felt something touching me while I'm half-asleep. It made me very uncomfortable. I tried to ignore it for a while, but then I opened my eyes and saw the shape of a man on top of me. It was too dark to see his face.

I screamed and tried to push him away. I screamed for my dad to come save me.

I managed to hit the man with my side lamp, he fell to the floor. I used the opportunity to escape and was screaming with so much fear.

Then I realized no one was home. I was so scared I hid inside my father's wardrobe. I heard the door of the room open. I stopped breathing out of fear of being caught.

"Is he gone?" I thought. It was so silent. I opened the wardrobe and silently left the place. I sighed in relief.

I turned only to see the figure standing there. I screamed so loud and ran only to be grabbed by my hair and thrown to the bed. I was so scared of what would happen to me.

My pajamas were torn off my body and my nakedness was exposed. I fought so hard, tears and snorts were all over as I was turned over. Side of my face was pressed to the pillow.

I felt disgusted and violated. I begged and pleaded for him to let me go. "Please I won't tell anyone, please don't do this". I was slapped hard on my neck. I silently cried and prayed it was all a dream.

He never spoke a word. He stopped, I thought maybe he felt guilty but I was wrong. He then touched me all over. He touched my body. All of it. I felt disgusted. He roughly tore my underwear.

I felt it entering. My eyes widened with so much pain I was feeling. I screamed but was punched on the back, I coughed violently. It kept going for hours till I felt nothing, just numb.

After the traumatic experience, I felt lost and overwhelmed. Tears streamed down my face as I struggled to process what had happened. With trembling hands, I made my way off the bed, feeling weak and vulnerable. As I moved towards the balcony, my heart heavy with pain, I couldn't shake the feeling of despair washing over me. With a heavy sigh, I stepped onto the balcony, the cool air offering a brief respite from the turmoil within. Looking out at the world below, I felt a sense of peace wash over me, knowing that I could leave the pain behind. Taking a deep breath, my final choice, I jumped.

I woke up with so much sweat on my body. My bed was soaked with so much sweat. My body wouldn't stop shaking. Was it all a dream?

I then looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and noticed I was in the hospital. I caught sight of my father staring at me with a blank look on his face.

"So you decided taking your own life will change anything?" my father scoffed.

My body started trembling with fear while the tears kept pouring out.

"Something bad happened to my Dad. Someone broke into our home and raped me. It hurts so much." I cried so hard choking on every word.

I looked at him only to be slapped hard.

He stood up and shouted, "HOW DARE YOU LET THIS HAPPEN?!"

"You better hide it to yourself and better not tell a soul or else I will personally kill you. The marriage will still be on. I will never let anything hinder my success" He threatened.

"I wish you died instead of mother" I mumbled angrily.

He stopped in his tracks and stared at her "What was that? What did you just say to me you bitch"

"I SAID I WISH YOU WERE THE ONE THAT DIED INSTEAD OF MOM. SHE WILL BE SO ASHAMED OF THE MAN SHE MARRIED. THE MAN THAT THOUGHT COULD PROTECT HER DAUGHTER. IF YOU HATED ME THIS MUCH WHY DIDN'T YOU KILL ME? WHAT DID I DO FOR YOU TO DESTROY ME? HAHAHA" She laughed looking at her father with raw hate and frustration.

I looked at him dead in the high and told him to go kill himself and I hope there will be a place in hell for him for eternity.

My father stood there stunned. He never expected me to blow up like this but I was done and didn't care anymore. I do not care anymore. He can go and never come back for all I care.

"You dare talk to me that way? I AM YOUR FATHER". He shouted

"I DO NOT HAVE A FATHER" I screamed.

He slapped me so hard but I wasn't fazed by it. I looked at him with empty eyes. I felt numb all over.

I scoffed looking at his pathetic state. Then I saw something in his eyes but it left immediately as it came. Fear.

My whole body was aching badly and I didn't need any more uselessness.

I later left the hospital on my own. My father hadn't talked with me since then, I do not care.

I was woken up by one of the maids that I should get ready for Bianchi's arrival. I groaned, annoyed. I cleaned myself up and tried to look presentable.

I heard my Dad calling me. I walked downstairs to see Alessandro and his father. I politely greeted them and sat down beside my father feeling so uncomfortable and I didn't bother hiding it.

It was awkward at first. I was so uninterested and didn't listen to most of the conversation. I felt Alessandro's stare. I ignored it and imagined many things about my life.

I was awakened from my dilemma by my father. I gave him a blank stare and asked what happened. He asked if I was listening and I truthfully told him no.

I turned to look at Alessandro and asked, "Do you really wish to marry me? I do not wish to but I still will not object to your answer though". I told him while sipping my wine.

"I actually like you alot. The little talk we had meant alot to me. I want to marry you and I hope you later love me" Alessandro responded.

"Can we get married tomorrow? It's never too late. so , deal?" I asked for a confirmation handshake.

Alessandro looked at me for long before smirking and shook my hand. "Deal" he said while winking at me.

"I will be off to my room now." I left without looking back.

"I will be getting married tomorrow huh. How funny. I hope he treats me well" I sighed.

....NIGHT....

I woke up with the sound of my door creaked open.

"Hello? Dad, is that you?" I asked desperately.

I stood up from my bed to check and noticed I didn't lock the door.

"I thought I locked it" I thought.

I quickly closed the door and went to bed. I slept off immediately.

I woke up later to feeling something moving on top of me. I saw a pair of eyes looking straight at me. I tried to scream but I realized that my mouth was tied. I was so scared and cried so hard and tried begging. He did it again. He was grinning from ear to ear. I'm scared. He didn't stop till I passed out.

I woke up to being shaken by my maid.

"Looks like I had a terrible nightmare." I mumbled to myself.

I flinched from the soar pain in my vagina. My body started to shake uncontrollably. I ignored it for now and just focused on my wedding.

The wedding went well. It was luxurious and many people came too.

"STOP THE WEDDING" A woman shouted.

We all turned to face the lady. She was dressed in a short, tight gown and looked all messed up.

I turned to look at Alessandro, he was sipping his wine from the wine glass looking unfazed.

The lady walked straight to Alessandro and gave him a hot slap. I was shocked and was also interested.

I sat on a chair, crossed my legs and sipped my wine. I was invested.

A man followed after her, looking annoyed to be here.

"How could you do this to me? You stopped texting me and just straight up ignored me. WHAT DID I DO TO YOU?"

The woman continued shouting and ranting the same sentences over and over again.

Without another word, Alessandro pulled out a remote and directed it to the screen. So many people gasped then turned towards her in pure disgust.

The look on the lady and the man's faces were priceless. It was funny to watch. I let out a soft giggle.

"Debby, you know deep down how I've always loved you. I did everything for you. Treat you like a Queen, listen to you, spend money on you, make you feel comfortable with me. But what did I get in return? You really hurt me, but I do not care about you anymore". He said.

He pointed his finger to me and said "I belong to her now and unlike you, she is pure, honest, beautiful and absolutely the best woman I've ever laid my eyes on. I am blessed to have seen her. And I know and hope she won't be as disgusting as you to throw a good relationship just for five minutes of pleasure."

The way Alessandro looked at me, even his words. If it wasn't an arranged marriage I too would have believed.

He then turned to the man, "Antonio, what went wrong? Did I do anything wrong for you to betray me this way? I'm so disappointed in you and so much wished i never met you". He scoffed.

He looked at both of them with so much hate and disgust. He then turned to me. I smiled back and gave him a thumbs up.

Alessandro gestured for me to come. I stood up and moved towards him. I gently kissed his lips and then turned to them.

"She seduced me, she threatened me too. I did not want to do it. Please believe me but she kept doing it over and over. I was scared that if you all found out, you would look at me differently. I was so scared."

"SAVE IT", Alessandro shouted.

He then told them to leave.
