Danger

(TW: this has some potentially triggering topics in and so will the upcoming parts)

Hugo continues talking on about how pleased he is for Florence but with every word he says my mind gets further and further away and my glass of wine gets fuller.
I don't want him here right now everything about these last few days have been so complicated, before I took on Rosaline as a client my life had been just how I'd mapped out for myself it was uncomplicated but filled with success.
That's all I've ever wanted.

"So it would be great if we could go for dinner or drinks somewhere another night?" Hugo says to me bringing me back into the conversation.

"Huh?" I reply.

Sitting up I stare at Hugo who seems to have creeped closer to me than he had been I shuffle back a little annoyed at his proximity.

" Were you not listening I asked you on a date?"He grins showing me his perfect teeth I watch as he moves his hand from the couch and onto my thigh. "We could discuss over dinner about a potential case opportunity that could be very good for you".

My head is slightly fuzzy from the wine so I can't really process what his hand is doing even though I know I don't want it there I don't move it as thoughts of his words about a business opportunity cloud my head. I'm about to reply to him but before I do he moves himself so he's towering above me his face is completely blank a darkness that I've never seen before evident in his gaze, I look up at him confused at the sudden change of mood then he comes down on me pushing me so my arms are pinned above my head. His grip is tight around my wrists to the point I cry out, his weight is crushing me and the sickly smell of his aftershave fills my nose. This feels nothing like when Rosaline touches me I feel repulsed.

I really don't want this.

" You like teasing me don't you? You love acting prestigious even though I know what you want me to do." I try to move my body from underneath him but it's no use his strength completely crushes me. " I love you Alice. I do everything for you! I've gotten you to where you are today so the least you could do is give me this" As the words leave his mouth his hand grips my breast.

I don't get scared at anything.
But in this moment all I can keep thinking is I don't want this to happen, I'm not stupid I always knew I was leading him on to get the top cases but even so I never expected this.

As he palms my breast I can smell the alcohol on his breathe which also smells of cigarettes and I can feel that he is hard through his jeans as he rubs up on me, I choke up some sick in my mouth but I swallow it back down the bitter burn travelling down my throat . I feel like I've had about twenty cups of coffee it's like my entire body has loads of energy and knows I need to fight this but I can't move.

" No. Hugo not tonight" I mutter. His hand stops moving but then it travels down to my trousers opening them.

Every time his hand comes into contact with my skin a coldness overwhelms me but once I feel his hand move into my knickers I just still accepting that this is going to happen.

I feel numb. Like I usually do just completely empty like a rag doll that gets pulled about but can't move or doesn't care to. No feelings no fear just numb. As he continues to touch me I see a flash of familiar blonde hair but I close my eyes thinking I'm imagining it but as I open them again, one of my stone ornaments comes crashing down over Hugo's head, I stare him dead in the eye as he lets out a shrill piercing scream then his eyes go blank I see red blood trickling down his forehead, he falls from the couch onto the floor the noise his body makes sounds like a sack of potatoes being dropped.

Sitting up still feeling out of it, I look down at Hugo who's head has been smashed in his hair is covered in blood and I can see brains splattered everywhere I expect to be scared but I really don't feel anything maybe just slight pleasure from what I'm witnessing if anything. Then I look up at Rosaline who just stares at me with such intensity.
