chapter 4

Philadelphia

Alex’s apartment.

10 months ago

Roxanne looked at herself in the mirror. She was naked. She had a great body with lots of tattoos. Slim. Full and firm breasts. A small petite frame. She had always adored herself. Loved herself for who she is. She was one of those girls who could make men cry and fall on their knees. She is what every girl is glamourous, stylish has a shoe cupboard which literally explodes when you open it. Men never bought drinks for her they would always buy her breakfast.

Her life was perfect. The hot chic of high school and every single guy’s fantasy. She had a perfect group of friends and most girls hated her. duh!  She got into Yale and it was like the perfect icing on the best cake ever.

The fairy tale came crashing down after she met Alex  Their love story was nothing like romeo and Juliet. Its just that Roxy got her ass kicked by some pathetic loser and Alex was the one comforting her. they got together and the ‘perfect’ relationship started. He was everything she ever needed. He fulfilled all her needs, adored her like anything, he would even cook for her and sing her to sleep. The only thing roxy lacked was making proper choices when it came to men. But Alex was beyond perfect and she could finally visualize herself  in a white dress walking on the aisle with her dad and getting married to him.

It was a fine season. Roxy didn’t feel like going tonew yorkfor the hols so she decided to bunk here inPhiladelphia.. Alex ran a chain of liquor store and had many apartments all throughout the states.

Roxy came home early after a day at the spa she was feeling great. She decided to cook a beautiful dinner for Alex. She made, fennel and salmon salad, spicy beef Wellingtons on a bed of cheesy mashed potatoes and Alex’s favourite meringue and lemon curd pie. She took a shower went really out of the way and decided to put on her best lingerie along with her pumps. She wanted to make him happy as he had been so good to her all throughout their relationship.

It was 2 o’clock in the morning she had been calling him but there was no response. The food was stone cold and she was on the verge of tears. What if something bad happened?

“That’s it . if he doesn’t show his face till dawn. I will go to the police.” She said.

Just as she was making up her mind, the lock turned and there was Alex. He had a cigarette in his mouth. Roxy went up to him to see if he was ok. It was then the smell distracted her. “Were you with a woman” she asked angrily. He could barely stand. He was all stoned by booze and marijuana. “Answer me Alajandro.”

“Shut up bitch. Take of your clothes and give me a nice fuck,.” He said bringing her closer and he was making strong attempts to kiss her. Roxy broke free and slapped him, “son of a bitch! Go and fuck the pump who just rode on you.” And she tried to leave.

But Alex was too strong for her. he burned the joint straight into her flesh and she cried with pain. She made all attempts to free herself but he held her tight. He kept on burning her. and  started taking off her clothes .he tore apart her lingerie. She was crying and screaming with pain, but mostly it was the shock which enveloped her. he started biting her. he bruised her breasts arms and legs. Finally for the finale he got inside her along with his marijuana! After about an hour of continuous torture he stopped and fell asleep on the floor itself. 

Roxy was staring at the girl in the mirror. Her body was full bruises made by the burning joint. Her left nipple was bleeding; her neck had deep teeth marks. Her breasts were a deep shade of pink. Her entire body was bruised and she was having a heavy menstrual flow even though her period was 15 days due. She was looking at herself. Mostly her eyes. Her eye-shadow was blotched with all the crying. She felt lost. Was there some demon inside Alex? He was The guy who would sing her to sleep. How could he Rape her? That too so ruthlessly?
