**** TESSA’S POV ****
~
I frowned. I felt so uncomfortable. I knew I was still half asleep and didn’t know what made me feel this uncomfortable. A very familiar feeling between my legs, made me snap my eyes open.
I looked around, then at my body. White satin on my body. I winced remembering what happened last night. He raped me. He… He…
I placed my hand on my mouth. what I have always tried to avoid — getting raped. Tears streamed out of my eyes like a running tap.
I looked at the other side of the bed to see Cedric sprawled out and sleeping. I cried out. The white satin sheet was also on him, covering him from his torso to his legs.
Oh my God, please tell me I’m dreaming. This can’t be real. I wanted to get up from the bed but I was naked, the only thing covering me was the large sheet, which also covered Cedric.
If I got up with it, I might see what I did not want to see.
Tessa, this is a chance you could likely escape… Just hit him with something.. And then he would go unconscious. Trying to escape while he was asleep was risky, he might just wake up.
But all that was in my head at the moment was to hurt him so bad. Cedric was a heavy sleeper.
I stretched out to take the cloth I had on yesterday, it was a huge cloth that wasn’t exactly my size, it reached my knees. I wore it and immediately got up from the bed.
“I wouldn’t be thinking of a way to harm me if I were you, Tess, trust me… You don’t want to mess with me.” He said opening his eyes.
“You monster!” Without even thinking I took the lamp from the corner of the bed and threw it at him. He screamed out in pain, cursing.
He looked up at me, his face was red in anger. “Bitch! you would pay for that.” He stood up from the bed, naked. He definitely had no shame. How does he even do that? I looked away frantically.
I took the next thing I could get my hands on which is a little wooden stool next to the nightstand. “Fucking put that down.” He warned.
It only made me want to hit him more. “No. You let me and my daughter out of this house, then I’d drop it.” I said. He laughed.
“You haven’t dropped that shit yet? You’re not getting out of here. Just suck it up.” He said.
I wanted to cry so bad, but that would make him see how scared I was. I didn’t him want to see how broken I was. Wouldn’t that give him give him more pass to torture me? The fact that he raped me was horrifying. How could he do such a thing?
What if I get pregnant? No, no.
He attempted to come closer to get hold of what I was holding but I held it higher, threatening to hit him with it if it comes any closer.
“Tessa,” He said gritting his teeth. This is probably the first time he called ‘Tessa’ instead of ‘Tess’ for two weeks now. “You’re going to put that down. If you think what I did to you was bad, I wonder what you’d think about me… No not me, that would be weird… About someone with your chi-” He tried to say but I lost it.
I threw it at him, cussing at him. He tried to get away from it, but it hit his arm hard, nonetheless. He screamed.
“Fuck you!” He growled and lunged at me. I tried to escape, but he was so fast, his hand wrapped around my throat. Slamming me into the wall. I winced.
His hand around my neck tightened and I thought for a second that he was going to strangle me till death.
I hated how close his naked body was close to me. I felt irritated, I wish I had magic powers, I would be out of here in a beat.
“You’re fucking testing me, Tess… This wasn’t how I planned on waking up. Hmm… Did you want another round? That’s why you did all this? To pretend you didn’t like it? I know you enjoyed every single bit of it. I could give you if you want it.” He was whispering.
I shook my head in terror. “No, please no. I beg of you.” I pleaded. He can hurt me any other way he wanted but not just with this or Anne.
He didn’t listen to my pleadings. I guess this was how he was going to punish me.

It’s been hours since the incident this morning. He had thankfully allowed me to use the bathroom. Spending the whole time trying to wash the pain away.
But didn’t spend time there, my mind was solely on Anne, luckily I got to see her, talk to her and did normal stuff with her. I have to get out of here. What if I’m never found, does that mean I’d get to stay here for a very long time?
Yep. I had to get out of here. But not while he was wide awake. It just won’t work. I swear if there was poison around, I would have definitely poisoned him.
The only thing I could do was to knock him off. I had the chance to do it earlier, but my aim wasn’t good enough.
I have to aim right.. Or scratch that, I could just hide behind a wall and when he’s coming, I would hit him on the head.
Never in my life would I have thought I would try to hit someone so hard.
I looked around the kitchen for something I could use, but there was nothing around. I’m sure he cleared everything so I won’t try to hit him.
After 32 minutes of search. I found an empty bottle of alcohol. This was the only thing I have seen so far that could hurt him.
I heard footsteps coming towards where I was. I quickly drop it back where I saw it and walked over to the stove.
“Hey,” Cedric said as he entered. He got closer and pecked me on the cheek. I tried to hide my disgusted face.
Was he seriously saying ‘hey’? His phone rang, and he walked out. I used the opportunity to go take the bottle. I was sure he was going to come back.
Nothing is too soon for me anymore. Who knows what he’s going to do next? I hid behind the door waiting for him to come back. 2 minutes later, I heard his footsteps.
I gulped. Closing my eyes, he stepped in. Without thinking twice I hit him. The bottle didn’t even break. It must be an expensive one. He screamed but didn’t fall to the floor. I kicked him where the sun doesn’t shine.
If I had a hammer, I would have hit him with it down there with it. He cried, and he fell to the floor. I had to really escape this time because if I didn’t and he recovers from that, then I’m dead.
His body blocked the door so I had to jump over him, in a swift motion, he grabbed my leg. I stumbled and fell down. I cried out when my knees hit the ground so hard, pain spread through my legs.
I was going to get back up. Only then I realized he still held my ankle.
I tried to use my other leg to push him off, but it was of no use. I was so close to getting out of here. I already knew where he kept the keys. Tears slipped out of my eyes.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

**** Sara’s POV ****
~
I placed my hand over my mouth crying. I lost my baby, again. Carson would not be happy with this news. This is the third miscarriage I have had since Carson and I got married.
My relationship with Carson has been going down the hill, ever since he saw that stupid slut, Tessa and her stupid daughter. It’s embarrassing, he wanted to choose that piece of shit over me.
I scoffed. My mind went back to the babies I have lost. It was unfortunate, this wasn’t going to help my marriage with Carson at all. I love Carson so much, I don’t want to lose him.
I had to tell him anyways, hopefully, he was going to pet and spoil me as he did in my last miscarriage.
I parked my car in front of our apartment and walked inside. Carson was taking a leave of absence from his working place, so he’s home. “Baby?” I called.
He was probably in our bedroom. I climbed the stairs until I was in front of our room.
I heard his mourns. Was he masturbating? I shook my head, silly Carson.
I froze when I heard female mourning. What the-
I turned the doorknob and my eyes watered at the sight. “Carson!” I screamed.
I almost thought for a second that the lady next to him was Tessa. She looked so much familiar. It was like she was a replica of Tessa.
Anger spread through me. How dare he cheat on me? That motherfucker! “Bitch!” I screamed lunging at the girl.
