Trigger warning: Sexual abuse scene ahead

Anastasia headed to the VIP ward with the towels in her hand, she was once again lost in deep thoughts about her future.

As a 20 years old lady, she knew time was no longer on her side. She needed to raise money to further her education and that was why she took this job. She had graduated from high school two years ago but was still unable to secure a scholarship to study the course of her choice.

So instead of being a liability to her poor parents who work two shifts in order to provide for the family, she decided to take up this job in a hotel.

The payment wasn’t much but it was fair, making three thousand dollars every month was enough to take care of her expenses but would take a while to save up enough money for UNI.

Anastasia was quite a simple girl with a simple life, she wasn’t classy and was usually stigmatized as a result of her red hair. Well, her father was a ginger, and her mom a brunette, but for some reason, she did turn out to be a redhead. Ana didn’t feel ashamed of it and she had just a few friends so there wasn’t much to make her feel different from others, but she did have a boyfriend who loved her unconditionally.

Ana arrived at the door of the supposed room and knocked softly, almost like he was expecting her, the door was opened immediately. Her heart skipped a bit when she saw him; it was at that moment that she realized that it was the man Rachel had been talking about, no wonder she was so persistent in serving him.

But that wasn’t what scared Ana, her mind skipped because the fellow was not only half naked and sweating like a ram on Salah day, but she couldn’t help but notice the bulge in between his pants, something was poking out there and he was trying hard to hide it.

“Sir… Si… Sir, I was asked to send you… yo… you these towels,” she stuttered nervously.

“Yeah, um… drop them on the bed,” he instructed and stepped out of the way.

Ana swallowed hard immediately and tried to concentrate, she was feeling dizzy from the smell of the whiskey coming off him and the fear coming off her. She hurriedly walked to the bed and just as the towel touched the bed, she heard the room door close.

Her heart skipped once again and she swallowed hard, fear enveloping her whole body. She turned around slowly and saw him approaching her with red eyes, he was breathing heavily and he still had the boner which she tried so hard not to stare at. What was going on? She was so scared.

Ana tried to act normal as she headed towards the door, she had almost passed him when he held her hand and her mind flew into her stomach. She shivered with fear the moment he touched her, his body was burning hot and she could hear both of their heartbeats.

“Sir, do… Do you need something else?” she stuttered

“Um…” she heard him utter and swallow hard, he sighed and shook his head. It was like he was fighting with himself.

“Sir, if there is nothing else you need, I would like to leave now.” She added immediately with a shaky voice. She had never been this terrified and intimidated by a man, even for someone like her.

“I will pay you any amount you want, stay with me tonight, have sex with me.” He uttered all of a sudden.

If that was not the most shockingly awkward thing Anastasia had heard. What did he take her for? A slut?

“Sir, I am sorry, but it seems like you have had a lot to drink. Please use the shower and get some rest, I need to leave now.” She spoke softly, trying to keep the courage burning as fear engulfed her.

“I said, have sex with me!!” he yelled, this time he was loud and sounded frustrated. Sending her heart into pandemonium, she began to struggle immediately.

“Sir please let go of me!! Someone help!” she yelled, but it didn’t dawn on her that no one could hear her from the outside, the room was almost soundproof and no one came around the VIP ward without a reason.

“Be quiet!” He hushed and swung her around to back him, he clutched her mouth from behind and muffled her.

“Help!!” Ana tried to scream under his palm and strong grip but that seemed to piss him off even more. He was beyond reasoning at this point and he was barely thinking.

Anna found herself roughly slammed against the bed, she screamed as she tried to fight him off but he climbed on top of her and sat on her waist. He was too strong, he grabbed the edge of her shirt and pulled it off, almost ripping them apart. Her screams increased as she realized she was half naked, she tried to hit him continuously but it didn’t seem like he was being affected by any of her punches.

Stephen growled and turned her around to lie on her stomach, he pressed her down and roughly pulled her skirt up to reveal her white panties, he spread her legs from behind and slid her panties to the side while she screamed. Her screams were only making him hornier and he couldn’t help himself.

He was drowsy but still strong enough to hold her. Pulling down his underwear, he took out his cock that had been begging to be set free and he then located the entrance of her Vagina. At this point, all Ana could do was scream; things were happening so fast and before she knew it, he had plunged into her.

Ana screamed while Stephen groaned in pleasure, a moan escaped his lips as he pushed deep into her. She was tight and even though she wasn’t wet, the feeling was still pleasurable. He let go of her waist and placed his hands by the two sides of her ribs to hold her in place as he humped her.

Being bothered by the underwear, he ripped it off her entirely and pushed harder into her. “Stop, please stop!!” she cried as he plunged deeply into her.

The thrusting and screaming went on for thirty minutes before poured his seed deep into her. He groaned in pleasure as he came and then he dropped off her. At that point, Ana had stopped fighting, all she could do was cry. The deed had already been done. Stephen fell off her and lay on one side of the bed feeling weak and exhausted, he was feeling very dizzy and so he closed his eyes.

Tears rolled down Anastasia’s eyes as she stared at the face of the man who had forcefully deflowered her. She was heartbroken as she cleaned up and put on her clothes, or what was left of them at least. Her skirt was still intact but he had ripped a few buttons off her top and her panties were in no good condition either.

Stephen had already fallen asleep and all she could do was wish him death. She was still traumatized by everything that had happened and her hands trembled as she wore her clothes. Why did he do this to her? She had never seen such a monster in her life, the gentleman she had seen walking into the hotel was very different from the beast that attacked her tonight.

The tears would not stop flowing. She had lost her virginity to a man who either didn’t give a damn or was too drunk to care. He was already snoring after getting what he wanted from her. Why her? He could have any woman in the world, so why did he force himself on her? What had gotten over him?

She despised him so much that her intrusive thoughts suggested she either strangled him or stabbed him in bed. But she was too soft to do that, she was too traumatized to even think straight. She felt pain between her legs but the one in her head was the worst. The psychological effect of his actions were worse than the physical effect, she felt so scared even after he was laying like a log of wood on the king-sized bed.

Was this the so-called most eligible bachelor of the city? Someone who treats women like objects for pleasure? Someone without dignity nor respect. She might not be able to do anything about his actions, but Ana knew that she would loathe him for the rest of her life.

She had tremblingly walked to the door, her legs were shaking and she could hardly stand straight. She was sore down there and she couldn’t stop crying. She had to sniff in and fight back the tears as she left the room; she didn’t want anyone to know of this, especially at work. How would she explain that she was raped by Stephen Grey? Who is going to even believe her? They would shame her and call her names, she couldn’t be in this environment anymore, she needed to leave and never come back.

Anna rushed down the hallway and into the elevator, luckily there was no one on the way. She pushed the button for the ground floor and once again burst into tears. The elevator door opened on the down floor and she bumped into Rachel as she walked out.

“Hey, what happened?” Rachel asked immediately.

She ignored her and walked off in a hurry; she went straight to the changing room and carried her bag. Without informing anyone, she walked out of the hotel premises. The security man wanted to know where she was off to but she just asked him to inform the manager that she was resigning. Without further explanation, she left the hotel and walked into the cold empty streets.

Anna was shivering and crying as she walked home. Her place was a bit far from here but she didn’t mind trekking as it gave her time to get over these feelings. Of course, she couldn’t tell her parents what happened, she didn’t think she could let anyone know that she had been deflowered by the so-called most eligible bachelor of the city.

Anna had gotten to the dark part of the streets when she noticed footsteps following her, there were no cars on the road and it was starting to dawn on her that the decision she took out of trauma was a wrong one. Now she had only ended up putting herself in danger.

She walked faster as she was overwhelmed by fear, it wasn’t just one but two guys following her. She should have known better than to walk out the cold streets of Las Vegas by that time of the night. People were either drunk in the casinos or in the streets and both sets of people were dangerous.

“Easy pretty face, what is the hurry?” one of the men teased as they closed in on her and she began to walk even faster, with the pain between her thighs and her waistline.

“Yeah, why don’t you come hang out with us, sweetie?” the second man yelled.

Ana tried to corner into another street but then she noticed there were more of them on that street, and from the red lights and scent, she could tell they were smoking something illegal. Had she just walked out from a frying pan only to end up in an actual fire?

Ana’s next big idea was to run forwards even though she knew it was a terrible idea, she could never outrun these men, and they would only take more fun at punishing her if she suffers them. But what was she supposed to do? Walk right into their hands?

However, luck shone on her as she noticed a motorcycle coming her way, she began to wave at it immediately while silently praying that it was one of the good guys. Luckily for her, it wasn’t just one of the good guys, it was someone she knew, and it was her boyfriend!!

“Ana? What are you doing out here so late at night?” he queried as he stopped in front of her

“Jake?” she screamed. “Thank goodness, please take me away from here,” she pleaded as she climbed onto the back seat immediately.

The men who had been following her paused and threw curses at the bike guy right before they took off. She hugged him tight from behind and placed her head on his back as she wept.

“Ana, are you crying? What happened? Did they touch you?” Jake queried.

She shook her head immediately, trying to speak without breaking down but the words wouldn’t come out. She just let the tears flow at some point; she needed to let it all out before she got home. She could be silent with her boyfriend, but definitely not with her mom. If the old woman noticed something was wrong, she would force the truth out of her. Ana was just not ready to tell the story of how she was raped by a billionaire; her life would be ruined if they found out… this was a secret she was willing to take with her to the grave!

Stephen groaned as he stretched his body on the bed, he was feeling so exhausted and forced his eyes open as the daylight from the window reflected on him. Why was he tired after a full night’s sleep? His head hurt as he sat up; after yawning twice in a row, he stood up from the bed and walked to the window side. He looked outside the building and could tell that it was past early morning. How did he sleep for so long?

As the billionaire CEO turned to find his cellphone, he froze at the sight of something else. Blood!! There was a blood stain on the bed. He quickly checked his body to know if he had injured himself but there was no wound on any part of his body.

Stephen was scared and confused at the same time, he tried to remember what happened the previous night, the memory was blurry at first, like an imagination or more of a dream. He tried to put them in place, piece by piece and slowly it began to come together.

His jaws fell apart when it crossed his mind that he might have forced a lady to lay with him the previous night. He remembered being drunk and horny but the memories after that seemed more like a dream. He was confused… Did it really happen or was it all just a silly dream?

Stephen examined the bed slowly and saw something, it was the rope of a bra; of course he would recognize that anywhere and any day, he used to be a playboy and saw quite a lot of that. His heart dropped at the sight of that.

“No… It can’t be, it has to be a dream,” he muttered to himself as he swallowed hard, trying to convince himself that it was all just a nightmare.

Stephen didn’t know how to feel about it, he turned to the bedside table and the whiskey was still in place. He picked up the bottle and sniffed it for any abnormalities but everything seemed fine. He took his watch from the top of the small cupboard and checked the time, it was ten minutes past eleven already. He quickly turned on his personal phone and messages from his family began to come in, they were worried about him. The only people that knew of his whereabouts was his right hand man, Domenic, who was in the same hotel as him, but in a different ward.

Stephen put a call across to Domenic immediately, he asked him to arrange for a car to pick them up from the hotel in thirty minutes. After that, he rushed into the bathroom for a quick bath. He couldn’t believe that he had gone to bed without a shower; that was more shocking than sleeping with a girl who he didn’t know or remember. He needed to fix the latter, but after the first was fixed.

** ** ** ** **

“What do you mean nothing happened? You came knocking on the door at 2am in the morning, you were supposed to be at work, so where the hell had you come from? And why are you not leaving for work today? I thought your morning shift begins today?” Mrs. McCurry threw a bunch of questions at her.

“Mom… I already told you. Nothing happened, I just can't go back there, I will find another job soon, I promise.” Ana replied, trying to force a smile like everything was fine.

But the truth was that nothing was fine, she was broken on the inside but due to her family’s condition, she had to put on the act; what she wasn’t strong enough to do was return to her place of work. She cannot go back to the place of the incident, even though the manager would be mad at her for bailing, he will be more than happy to have her back, but she just didn’t want to return there.

Aside from being scared, it seemed like that chapter of her life was over. She should never have taken that job in the first place, it wasn’t a place for simple naïve girls like her, and she had learnt her lesson the hard way. The only thing of value she had has been taken away from her, her virginity had been ripped away from her by a selfish man who cared only for himself.

“You are lying to me, Anastasia. Did you get in a fight with someone? Were you fired? Did you do something wrong? You know you can tell me whatever it is, you don’t need to hide anything from me.” Her mother insisted.

“Mom, I am not lying or hiding anything, you have to believe me. I just chose to quit because I don’t think the job is appropriate for me anymore. I know I need the money for college but I will find another job, I just need a little time.” Ana pleaded

Mrs. McCurry sighed and shook her head, and then she came closer. “Is it that boy you are seeing? You came home with him last night, right?” she asked softly.

“What? No mum, this has nothing to do with Jake. He actually picked me up from the road when I was unable to find a cab,” she replied.

“Of course, how did you expect to find a cab by that time of the night? What if something had happened to you? don’t ever do something like that ever again. You should have called your father and he would have come to pick you up if it was so necessary that you left in the middle of the night. And you still haven’t told me why you deemed it necessary to leave the hotel at that time of the day… Did someone say something inappropriate? Did anyone misbehave with you?” she queried.

Ana swallowed hard the moment her mom mentioned that. She found it difficult lying straight to her mother’s face but she couldn’t just tell her that she was molested and sexually assaulted by a crazy rich young man; how would she explain that she was raped by the infamous Stephen Grey of the Grey family… one of the most reputable families in the country as a whole.

She opened her mouth to speak and just then, there was a knock on the door. Ana’s heart skipped as she feared it was someone from work, they must have come to know why she left and didn’t return. She had turned off her phone since she got home that night to avoid taking any calls from them.

“I will go check… check it,” she stuttered nervously.

“Yeah, you do that and come back here to complete our conversation.” Her mother replied and scoffed.

Once again, Ana gulped down saliva and began to walk down the hallway leading to the entrance door. She was scared; if it was someone from work, what would she tell them? She hadn’t thought of any lies. What if the man who raped her had framed her or told lies about her?

As she got closer to the door, her heartbeat sounded even louder; she was petrified to her bones, and then the worst happened. It was either her mind was playing games with her or it was really happening. She caught his scent!! That cologne! She recognized the scent of that cologne… it was the first thing that greeted her when she went into his room last night. This cannot be true!! He wasn’t here, was he??
