Chapter 5

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I guess I never thought that my life could actually get worse. I thought I was already in the deepest parts of hell slowly dying. I guess they just wanted me to die faster because life is so much worse. The only good thing coming out of this is father hasn't had the opportunity to touch me since the last time. 

I've spent the last few weeks talking to the press telling them how excited I am for the wedding. Telling fake tales of our "romance", and how hes the love of my life. PLEASE!! He's a complete jackass. We never talk, and whenever we do his answers are short and rude. In front of the cameras I'm adored and his every waking moment. When in reality the only reasons he's doing this is because his father is forcing him. At least we have that in common. His father insist he needs a wife before he takes over the company, so he made that happen. I can see his father is doing it with good intentions. He tells me Xander has cut off everybody since his mother passed two years ago, and he just wants his son back. I teared up when I heard the story. His father loves him so much and he ignores it. I could only dream of a fathers love. 

I'm currently preparing for for another dinner party celebrating our engagement. The party is a gift from Mr. King. I loathe that man. Our last dance is forever engraved in my mind. I wish that was a night I could forget. 

I was dressed in a red velvet strapless dress that was tight and decorated with jewels until you got to my waist, then it spread out onto the floor. I had tall heels to match my dress. My blond hair was put down into thick loose curls. My lipstick perfectly matched my dress, and I had a thick coat of mascara and some eyeliner. 

Feeling presentable I left my room. At the bottom of the stairs Xander, Mr. Star, and my father were waiting. My father and Mr. Star were engaged in conversation, and Xander was pretending to listening standing next to his father. The conversation ended as they saw me walking towards them. Mr.Star greeted me with a big smile and a warm hug. My father simply checked to see if I was dressed appropriately, and Xander held out his arm for me to grab onto.

All together we started to make our way to the ballroom. My father and Mr. King went in first followed by Xander and I. The room was crowded in people dressed up in their best evening wear. Immediately we had people coming up to us congratulating us on our engagement. I simply smiled and said a kind thank you. It was Xander who does most of the talking. I'm just something pretty dangling from his arm. I mean that's all I've ever been. I mean it's either that or a punching, and sometimes I would prefer being a punching bag. My bruises have almost completely healed since my last beating. He hasn't touched me since that night. I think he's just been so distracted with everything lately. Which I'm just fine with. 

I'm pulled out of my thoughts when I hear someone say my name. I turn my head and find myself looking at Mr.King. Just great.

"Good evening Ali I sure do hope you are enjoying the party." Mr. King says

"Of course I am it's fantastic!" I fake enthusiasm

" I hope you don't mind me asking Mr. Star, but would you mind if I asked your future wife for a dance?" 

"Of course not! Go right ahead I mean you are the host." Xander says

Mr. King takes my arm and brings me to the dance floor. He pushes me up against his chest and begins to dance. He is covered in sweat and smells like a boys locker room. I try to back away to get some distance, but his grip only hardens. 

"Where are you going my darling." he whispers in my ear. "You're not trying to get away now are you because the dance has only just begun." he whispers, and I can feel his breath on my ear, and smell the alcohol in his breath. He couldn't have drank that much could he I mean the party just began. I suddenly feel hand going down lower on my back, and I give a small shriek when I feel his firm grip on my ass. 

"Whats wrong my dear?" He says, and suddenly he pulls me closer, and I feel his erection in his pants on my stomach. "I'm just having some fun." He says huskily.

I feel shiver run through my body, and I freeze. I'm terrified. I look over his shoulder in hopes of finding Xander. He was speaking to some of the guest, and I couldn't get his attention.

"Mr. King I think I've had enough dancing tonight." I say nervously as I try to pull away.

He pulls me back roughly and whispers harshly. "Oh darling we aren't even close to done."

My heart was beating a mile a minute, and I was starting to break out into a cold sweat. I was shaking all over.

"My darling you will be married soon. I can't let you go so willingly. Why don't we find ourselves someplace my private." He whispers in my ear.

I try my hardest to break away from him, but he won't let go. I try to scream, but he covers my mouth. Little did I now while we were dancing we ventured off to the far corner, and no one was paying us any attention. He grabbed me and took off for the door. I was looking around trying desperately to escape. His grip hardened and I shrieked. There would definitely be a bruise. Right before we exited through the door I was able to catch Xanders eye. He looked confused at first, but then he saw Mr. King. I was out the door before I could do anything.

He was dragging my down the hallway.

"Oh my dear when I get you alone you can scream all you want. I've always loved screamers."

I was in tears crying uncontrollably. This couldn't be happening. It couldn't. That's the only part of me that is still in tack. I can't have that taken from me too.

Before I know whats happening Mr. King is gone.I turn to see what happened, and I see Xander beating the shit out of Mr. King. I am completely shocked. He came for me. He actually came. A crowd starts to form after hearing the noise. He's beating him yelling curse words, and he doesn't stop after he's unconscious. If he keeps going hes going to kill him, and my father is going to kill me.I run towards him screaming at him to stop, but he keeps going. He's in a blind rage. I run up to him and push as hard as I can, and its only then he stops to look at me. He's furious, and has a look so deadly in his eyes it makes me flinch. When he sees how scared I am his expression softens to something that looks like guilt. 

I snap back to reality when I hear screaming and see my father break through the crowd.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!" He shouts.

The room instantly becomes silent, and no one speaks.

"Well is someone going to answer me!" He shouts again.

Xander stands up and whisper into my fathers ears. When Xander is done my father looks at me then Mr. King. 

"Someone get this man out of my house immediately and get me a lawyer, and everybody else return to the party!" He yells.

People scatter, and I see Mr. King get carried out of the house. Mr. Star is talking to his son, and my father is on the floor. Once he sees me he calls for a maid to take care of me. I see Xander look at me when my father does this, and he looks confused. One of the maids come over and help me off the floor and starts to take me upstairs. Once we make it upstairs she helps me take off my clothes, and tends to my injuries. Once I'm all fixed up she helps me into the shower and leaves.  

What would've happened if Xander hadn't come? Would he have succeeded? Of course he would have, I'm lucky Xander was there. Oh my god I couldn't stop feeling him on me. The things he said to me. He touch stuck perminately in my mind forever, so I cried. I sat in  the shower and cried for hours.

When I finally got out of the shower I was helped in to some comfortable clothes and left alone. I jumped when I heard a knock on the door. I got up slowly and went to open the door. I was shocked. Standing there still in his suit looking like nothing had happened was Xander. Without saying a word he came in and sat on the bed.I stood across from him and watched as he observed my room stopping to stare mainly at my mom and little brother.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him

He turned and looked at me as if only then realizing I was in the room too. "I wanted to make sure you were alright" he replied.

I can't say I wasn't shocked because never did I think Xander Star would come to see if I was alright.
