Prudence's POV
I was terrified all the time. I couldn't go on like this , I was afraid of my own shadow. I heard a noise down stairs and I knew my step dad was home once again. Am very sure he's drunk but the thing is that l am very hungry but I can't go down stairs because he would probably do something crazy with me.
He would surely find a reason to hit me. I really don't know why my mother had married him. Like what had she seen in him? I don't know why I asked that question, because I already knew the answer, he was rich and my mother needed the money.
My dad died when I was ten, in a plane crash on his way back home just to give I and my mom a surprise visit for my ten years birthday.
I know what you're thinking and yes he died on my birthday.
So after his sudden death things were really hard for us and we stared having money issues. My mother had to do something in order for us to get by,so 5 years later she married Rex, she didn't love him and he didn't love her either. I am actually 18 as at now , adult loving like a child.Thinking about my mother she has gone to work earlier but she's a nurse and might not come back home until morning, she's always on a night shift , am left with my abusive step father works from home and frequently goes to the bar to get himself drunk
***********
I was laying comfortably on my soft bed ,when I heard a knock on my door. I opened the door and to my surprise I saw my step dad."Rex , what are you doing in my room by this time of the night , what do you want and why are you disturbing my peace , well, ain't surprised any longer it's obvious that you're dtunk"I sounded very rude
"How many times will I repeat myself that you should never call me by my name , if you can call me dad just use normal formality like 'sir' , you're such a rude and pathetic girl, why are you being so redundant" he said as he held my shoulders tight while correcting me.
"Did I hear you say 'I, prudence Mirian kayne' should call you dad, if it isn't sounding irritating to you , it is so gross to my hearing, someone like you don't deserve to be called dad". I said in defense
"Young ladies , I didn't come here to come and argue formalities to you, you can see , am really turned on"I points to his trousers while liked like he's really aroused" and that useless mother of yours is not hear to help me calm my nerves, so I'll like to use you as an improvisation since your mother don't seem to be around.
I feel very irritated and afraid at the same time that it's like that he rapes me tonight .
"I am very sure you're high right now, let me leave you here to continue to talk rubbish "
I tried moving away from him, I struggled with him , l begged him, l even tried pushing him but he was too strong for me to overcome.
"I am not joking now get on the bed" he said in a very loud, commanding and stout voice.I didn't respond and then I tried to escape on more time, but he carries me with his strong arms and throw me on the bed.
Right now , am panting heavily and I don't even know what to do .
He came towards and the said.
"Remove your dress right now before I do just that for you" I ignore him instead I was shouting and abusing him.
"You useless,good for nothing man, Buffon, drunken, idiot, stupid , Imbecile , fool, jerk, leave me alone , get out , some body help me, leave me alone , leave my room leave this environment, I hate you man, go , don't ruin my life, get out"I screamed my lungs at him just to chase him out of the room because that's the only thing I could think of at this particular situation that have am in.
