TW: Sexual Assault | Drugs | Manipulation | Attempted Rape



"When was it?" Atty. Contrera asked.



"It was his birthday... We c-celebrated it in a hotel. We were alone in the room. We drank some wine and I don't know what happened next. I woke up the next day fully clothed." Xzavien sighed and continued writing on his pad. "Is it possible that it was edited?"



"It is. But I don't think it is. From your statement, I saw a possible reason why you can't remember that something happened that night. You drank wine. Did he also drink? Did he just offer the drink to you?"



"He drank a different one... Was it Tequila? He gave me a glass with wine in it... At first I was hesitant to drink it but he said that it's like a juice." Xzavien nodded.



"I cannot conclude things because I'm just here to defend you. Though, I really think that he drugged you or something. But like what I said, it's wrong to just conclude things, especially that we don't have an evidence as of the moment. I will call the police and they will surely ask questions before they decide whether they arrest him or not. If you guys have a copy of the video, we can use that. If we find out who spread the video, he can be sued for that and he can be a big help. Let's pray that it's Santiago. In that way, we can take him down easily."



"Ako na bahala sa copy, I can convince Mark-"



"Convince or threaten? Ford, this is not the right time to choose violence. Control yourself. Baka mauna ka pang makulong." Markus rolled his eyes at Xzavien.



I stared blankly at Gio. He was topless and he looked like he had fun last night. A girl suddenly hugged his waist from behind. Gio smirked when he saw me glanced at his girl. He pulled his girl inside and they talked a bit.



The girl looked at me before getting her bag and walking out of the scene. Nakapagbihis na siya, magulo nga lang ang buhok. Gio opened the door widely and gestured me to come in. I wasn't afraid of him anymore. I went inside, only to hear the door being locked.



"It's good to see you again, Sophia. I knew you would come back to me." Pinasadahan niya ng tingin ang katawan ko at ngumisi siya. "You're so sexy. Now I regret leaving you for Nicole."



"Pinili mo 'yan. Pinili mo siya." Humakbang siya palapit sa akin at hinawakan niya ang balikat ko. Pinilit niya akong umupo sa dulo ng kama.



"Have you watched our video? I'd like to recreate that video. Pia, sayang ka. Masyado kang nagpauto sa Markus na 'yon. Dito ka nalang sa 'kin, I won't disappoint you-"



"I'm already disappointed with you, Gio. The video... Paano tayo nagkaroon ng ganoong video? I don't remember anything like that. Did you drug me?" Ngumisi siya at umiling. "Then what?! How the hell did it happen?!"



"You did it because you love me-"



"Fuck you! I will never do that just to prove someone that I love them!" My tears fell as fear and disgust consumed me again. "H-hindi ako gano'n, Gio..."



But he didn't care... He pushed me to the bed and went on top of me. Before he could do something, a knock on the door stopped him. He sighed and shook his head before leaving me to open the door. To his surprised, two police officers were there with Atty. Contrera.



Atty. Contrera's eyes met mine as he searched for me inside the room. He immediately went to me while Gio was being taken away. He asked if I was okay, I gave him a nod. Markus was not with us because Atty. Contrera ordered him to convince Mark to give him a copy of the video.
