Chapter 16

Michelle's POV

Five weeks later🍃

"The magazine for this month has been published"

"Thats great, i can't wait to read your article about me"

" You already know what going to be written"

"Yeah, but i wanna read it like I never gave you an interview"

" Okay, are we still on for lunch?"

"Yeah, where are you now?"

"I'm leaving the office to get Christian"

"Okay I'll see you soon. I love you"

"I love you too" I said and hung up.

The last five weeks have been good. Things have been great between Ian and I after I told him my past. I haven't received any unknown text or calls from that creep which is good cause i feel I'm at peace again, although i have been feeling sick in the morning but it always goes away after some time.

I got in my car and drove to Christian's school. Ian planned to have lunch with us as he was in LA for business for a week. There was lots of traffic on the road this afternoon, i wasn't sure if I was going to be on time for Christian so i sent Ian a text.

Me: There's so much traffic on the road I'm on to get to Christian's school. Do you mind fetching him instead?

Ian: Sure no problem X

Finally the road cleared up and i was on my way to the restaurant that Ian made reservations. Getting out the car i walked to the restaurant when a hand grabbed me to the side and led me to an ally. I turned around to look at the persons face, only to be hit on the head and darkness consumed me.

-------

I woke up in a room that was completely dark and the only source of light was blocked out by the newspapers that were covering the windows. I tried to move but i couldn't as i was tied to a chair with ropes.

"Help!, somebody please help me!" I called out. No one replied. I used all my strength to try get out of the ropes but it was only hurting me more. Feeling defeated, I stopped trying, I was so draind of my energy, I grew so tired.

"Please someone, just let me go" I said before falling asleep.

I heard the sound of heavy footsteps coming from the other end of the door. Blinking the sleep away, I waited for something to happen. There was absolute silence and this terrified me.

"Is someone there?, please help me."

The door opened and light flooded through, there stood a person leaning against the door.

"Please let me go."

"Oh darling, your not going anywhere."

That voice, it was so familiar like i heard it before...

"Dean?"

"It took you so long to figure it out Michelle, I thought you were smart."

"What do you want from me?" I said

"I want what I've always wanted...you"

"Me?"

"Yes you. You were the first girl i ever loved, we were so good together...until you left me."

"I left you because you physically assaulted me when I said I wasn't ready to sleep with you and I don't regret leaving you."

"I loved you Michelle...I love you. I thought we were on the same page when we agreed to level up our relationship."

"Well you thought wrong and I don't love you i don't think I ever did, your the person that made me doubt myself and stop trusting people. You make me sick." He laughed a laugh that brought chills down my spine. He moved forward until he was in front of me and smiled wickedly.

"But i did get want i wanted from you...eventually." He said with a sly smile "That night was better that i thought it would be...with you. You really know how to satisfy men."

That night?

And it finally dawned on me. Dean raped me that night.

"Oh darling don't look at me like that, you did have fun after all."

"How could you!?, you robbed me of my innocence, the one pure thing I had. Why did you do it?, what good did you get out of it?." I asked with tears flowing down my cheeks.

"It gave me pleasure and...on the bright side it gave me a baby boy."

Oh my gosh, Dean is Christian's dad. I would have never thought it would be him. And that doesn't change that fact that he's a bad person and i don't want him anywhere near Christian.

"You stay away from him" I said in anger

"Why?, he is my son. I've watched him grow up. His five now right?, five years that has gone by without you and him in my life. You know when you left me, I was a mess and I was in pain. You broke my heart and the pain was far worse that this.." he said and he slapped me across the face. Hard.

"I was angry at you for so long" he said as he slapped me again.

"Please stop" I begged

"Stop?, darling I want you to feel the way I felt when you left me."

He punched me in my stomach and slapped me continuously. I was getting weak with every punch and slap. He stopped hitting me and pulled my hair so that I was looking in his eyes.

"The pain you left me in was nothing compared to this but at least you have an idea." He said and left the room.
