chapter 24

Nitara

"He didn't like asking for consent" as soon as those words left my lips , I could feel nico's hold tightening on me . His jaw clenching so hard and his grey eyes burning into mine.

I could not control the warm tears  rolling down my eyes . Until , I felt his warm pair of calloused hands cup my jaw and stroke my cheeks with his thumb.

"My love , talk to me . Please?" Again those words make me sob harder . Nobody , nobody except Amara knows this part of my life.

A nightmare. A man with dark blue eyes and blonde hair.     Carlos.

Flashback

T.W- sexual assault
 
"Nitara I want you meet Carlos . He is your new manager . Everything from now on will be handled by him" Mr. Marcus, my previous manager says.

I worked at a cafe down the street . This helped me pay for mama's hospital bills and our basic necessities.

"Hi m-my name is N-Nitara. N-nice to meet y-you" I extend my hand towards me .

The man infront me is almost 5'11 , blue eyes and blonde eyes . He is not muscular but doesn't look thin aswell.

He takes my hand politely nodding at me but his hands don't let go of my small ones. His eyes linger on my legs for a little longer .

It's not like I'm wearing something weird. I'm a sundress mama bought for my 18th birthday. I had to ask him to let go of me as he wouldn't do it when I tried to jerk my hand.

"Hello babygirl , I'm Carlos Matt  but you can call me Carlos  only " he says smirking and winking at me .

"O-Ok only Carlos" I smile at him.

He chuckles and pats my head . I frown . I don't like when someone touches my hair .

"You're so innocent. It'll be fun" he winks again .

Why is he winking so much? Did something get into his eye? He should definitely go see a doc.

I get back  to working at the counter, it's already 9 by the time  I'm done with my shift.

I make my way towards Carlos's office to inform him that I'll be leaving.

"Come in" he says .

I make my way inside . His eyes light up when he sees me . His gaze drops to my legs and I start getting an uncomfortable and weird feeling. Suddenly, I don't want to be here anymore.

"Come here babygirl" he smirks and motions me to stand beside him .

*I hate the word babygirl*

I fiddle with my fingers and waddle towards him . He suddenly gets up from his chair and pulls me closer. He brings his nose to my neck and sniffs me a couple of times. I'm too much in shock to say anything.

I try my best to push him away . With everything in me I push him away and he stumbles towards his desk .

"Stop playing hard to get bitch" he pulls my hair and tugs me forward. He starts touching my breasts and pinching them .

I scream for help but he gags me with his tie and ties my hands with a scarf.

He starts undressing me and kissing my breasts. He starts removing my underwear and not even a minute later , I hear him unzipping his pants.

I lay there screams and shouting for help. Nobody comes to my rescue. He takes me by force. I could do nothing to stop him . I lay in his office in my own pool of blood.

Blood dripping down my thighs , bite marks on my chest and thighs.the material of the scarf digging into my skin. It feels like I've been chained . Once he's satisfied, he rounds me and bends down smirking

"Don't be late tomorrow babygirl. I know you want me as much as I want you . It'd be a shame if your sextape leaks" he pats my head once again and kicks my stomach.

"Leave" he yells and I try to stand , blood dripping down my thighs , I clutch my stomach as the pain I feel is unbearable.

I hear him laugh as I stumble outside and make my way towards the exit.

I walk to the nearest public washrooms .cleaning myself with a tissue , I look at myself in the mirror and smile . I'm disgusted and horrified by whatever happened but I put on a smile as I know mama waits for me at home.

I take a bus home and once I reach our apartment, I spot her sitting by the window staring outside longingly. Once her eyes spot me , she sits up straight and smiles brightly.
I put on my best smile even though my body hurts so much , I don't want mama to know about this .

I have to pay for her hospital bills, she needs to eat aswell.

"Nitara you're late my pumpkin. Where were you?" She asks in her sweet voice.

"I-I am sorry m-mama . The c-cafe was a-a little crowded to-today" I make up an excuse.

She frowns but nods anyway. I make my way to the kitchen to cook something for us. I open the fridge and the only thing I see is a pack of instant noodles. I sigh and make them to mama with vegetable salad.

"You're not eating pumpkin?" She asks .

I cover my stomach grumbling by coughing and weakly smile at her, shaking my head . "No m-mama I'm n-not hungry."

She nods patting the space beside her motioning me to sit.

"I'm t-tired mama . C-can we t-talk tomorrow. Pl-please?" I ask controlling my tears.

She takes a bite of her food and nods softly.

I know mama , I know. Maybe I'm the problem. Maybe I deserve it. It's fine till I can pay for her bills and feed her.

I slip into my sheets covering my mouth trying to stop the sobs slipping my mouth. I don't want mama to wake up.

I'm sorry mama .
I'm sorry.

(For those who skipped this part as it triggers you , first of all I'm so sorry that you had to go through that. Please feel free to talk to me if you like and also I give you a little summary --

So basically Carlos was the abuser , he was nitara's manager at work . She had no choice but to continue working because of her mama's hospital bills and to feed themselves. Afterall it's not easy to find a job. Thankyou 🤍)
