Chapter 16
Xander Thome had once thought Jessica Valcruz was sunlight after the storm
Now he couldn’t breathe without choking on that stupid illusion.
For the past three days he did not show up to the Valcruz estate making Jessica message him with how ‘sorry‘ she was
With a sharp clang a vase was thrown against the wall, shattering into millions of pieces. Broken bottles of wine were laid on the floor as Xander sat between them, his eyes bloodshot red.
It was at that moment he saw Jessica’s messages and laughed like a maniac before a strong urge to strangle her came to his mind
Jessica: Xander I am sorry for that day ]
Jessica: Are you angry Xan? Please forgive me…or I will cry.
[Jessica: Xan I saw a stray dog in the rain that day and to save him from a car accident she stepped in front of the car and got hit Thankfully nothing major happened but my hand was fractured.]
“I will give that woman a gift that she will never forget! She is so hurt so go and deliver ‘medicine‘ to her!” One of the servants standing behind their master who was acting with strong muderours intent bowed before disappearing.
“William, find evidence…everything that Athena endured and all that Jessica Valcruz did outside her home and present the evidence to me. Now “8
An hour later Willian Morelle handed Xander the iPad,
“Master Xander just be aware, once you have seen this…there is no going back.
The things we did in the past–taking Miss Athena’s designer dresses and punishing her because we thought she bullied Jessica Valcruz.
“I am ashamed to say that I was even a part of such disgraceful acts so I wonder how you will punish yourself…..”
With trembling fingers Xander played the video on the IPad and a grainy frame flickered to life.)
The first visual was Jessica’s smiling face looking at the camera as she installed it somewhere. Soon the scene change.?
There I was.
Barely Fifteen.!
Trapped in a locked room with white walls which looked old and worn out…it was a servant room with an iron bedframe and a small camera with blinking in the corner of the ceiling recording everything secretly.|
I looked so young in the video too thin like starved with shoulders trembling. Eyes darting wildly to the door like a caged animal who already knew no one was coming.
Then a voice echoed faintly from outside.
Bright, Familiar and Sweet.
Jessica.
“Uncle, I have installed a camera to record every single thing.
Everything is ready… she is all yours. Just… be rough. She is still pretending she has pride so lets see how she would reach when a MMS of her having sex with a man thirty years older than her circulates all over.
I have installed cameras in the garden too, when you are done here just take this bitch there so even the servants can enjoy the view of her lewd body.”
Xander’s hands tightened so hard the the IPad screen cracked, his eyes wild like a beast looked at the scene with horror!!
“No!” He shouted, his voice made the servants tremble and yet the video continued uninterrupted.)
The lock turned. The door creaked.
And a man entered. Forty, maybe older. His jacket was expensive with a cruel smile as his eyes never moved from me.!!
“Time for our little talk, Athena.”
In the video I scrambled backward barefoot as tears streamed down my eyes, knocking over a chaic frozen with horror.
Xander clutched the tablet tighter unable to breathe.
I pleaded desperately in the video but the man advanced slowly, muttering things that I should have known better to not offend his neice Jessica.}
At that moment I ran to the window, yanking at the latch which was locked before grabbing the chair and hurling it into the glass to break
“Someonel Why is no one helping her!” After so much noise Xander awaited someonen to rush, hell he could feel like he was dying as tears streamed down his face.
But no one showed up…not a servant…not my father because Jessica told them it wasn’t necessary that I was just throwing another tahtrum.
Just then Xander saw me jumping from the window, a glass shard peirceing my leg.
Xander reeled back like he had been physically punched.!!
“No! No! Athenal“}
He had seen pain before. Blood. Violence
But this…to subject such a pitiful child to such cruel treatment?)
