True Love
(Book 4) – Chapter 141

-It’s raining, let me through. His tone was threatening, I didn’t know that side of him.

-No!

But it was no use because he pushed the door violently, she took many steps backwards, getting as far away from the man as possible. Her heart was pounding, it wasn’t good to be alone with him. In Greece there was no Peter to save her, she had no one. She watched him close the door, as he shook the water out of his hair. She was silent, she thought that any movement could upset him and do something very bad to her.

-I’ve come to talk to you, ok.

-I don’t want to talk, please go away.

-No! he said seriously. She swallowed.

-We’ll talk my love, just like old times. We were a perfect couple.

-But you screwed up.

-No, you screwed up. You know that’s bullshit, what with keeping yourself to yourself.

-Go away, Fernando.

-I’ve come to finish this business, and you’ll see that we can still be boyfriend and girlfriend. -It’s all about how we get along in life. It’s all about how we get along in bed my love.

He knew, he hadn’t come to talk. He wanted to sleep with her even if it was by force. And he knew Peter wasn’t with her to stop him. F**k she was f****d.

-You’ll get nothing from me.

-Then I’ll have to take it by force, pigeon. You’ll see how you’ll like it.

-You don’t say?

She ran up the stairs as fast as she could, she had to defend herself. Before she reached the door Fernando caught up with her and grabbed her by the back, squeezing her tightly. She almost couldn’t breathe.

-You make it more interesting like this my love, it excites me to chase you.

-Please Fernando, what you are doing is a crime. If I report you, you’ll go to jail.

-You won’t, our parents are good friends, you don’t want to ruin that good friendship.

-If you rape me, I’ll do it, I swear.

-It’s not rape, it’s lovemaking. I’ll show you how it’s done.

-I don’t want to! Tears began to flow as he dragged her to the bed.

-It’s a nice bed.

The memories of that bed were beautiful to stain them with what that man was planning to do, so many nights she had spent there with Antoni and now she was going to be raped by a lout in that very bed. How unfair life was.

-Come on, don’t be so tense, I promise I’ll be gentle for your first time.

-I’m not a virgin anymore, you idiot. Since I was going to abuse her, why not give her a tantrum before she thought she was too much.

-What the f**k did you say? He threw her down on the bed roughly. He was angry.

-I did it with a man here in Greece. So you won’t be the first a*****e anymore. He tried to slap her but he didn’t, maybe he didn’t want to leave marks.

-All right you little bitch. You made it easier now. If you get searched no one will suspect me of raping you, since you’ve done it before. He said laughing.

He started tearing at her clothes without her being able to help it, she kicked but he held her legs and pinned her down. She had almost nothing on her but the underwear she had put on for Antoni. He gave her rough k****s on her body, she was resigned to that. She was immobile, she couldn’t hit him and more than her heart was broken, she thought only of Antoni and their wonderful encounters. Suddenly something came to her, rage, anger, frustration, a whole whirlpool of negative feelings. She couldn’t let them rape her. She began to scream at the top of her lungs tearing at her throat, in the pouring rain with thunder she hoped someone could hear her.

-It’s no use, pichona, in this rain no one will hear you.

While at the main door Antoni was about to open it, he had arrived at the port just as the rain began to fall. He saw his yacht and immediately spoke to Tomas, everything had gone well on the trip, he was relieved. The rain soaked him completely, from there he could walk to Andromeda’s house. He noticed his car in the car park but he had left the keys at his parents’ house, he ran up the hill. When he had reached his girl’s door before knocking he heard a piercing scream from upstairs, he didn’t wait any longer and ran inside like crazy.

When he stood in the doorway of the room where they had so often made love like wild madmen his girl was lying with almost no clothes on, with a monkey forcibly holding her and touching her beautiful body. He approached the young man, much younger than himself, and threw him aside. Then he climbed on top of him and began to beat his face mercilessly. The rage had blinded him completely, so much so that he couldn’t hear Andromeda’s voice as she held him down and begged him to let go.

At last he heard her and looked at the young man lying on the floor with a bloody face, spitting b***d. He turned to see his beloved and she was kneeling beside him shaking like a jelly, covering her breasts with her hands as they were not wearing a bra. That damned wretch, the rage rose to his brain and grabbed him by the neck. But she stopped him again, with tears in her eyes she asked him.

-Please, stop Antoni.

-Andromeda, my love, forgive me. He said, releasing the young man who moved away from him, wiping his face with the back of his hand.

-Thank you for saving me. She said to him.

He took the sheet and covered her nakedness. He didn’t know if touching her was a good idea, she was so sensitive and scared. She ran a hand through her hair, looked at the boy with his face all purple and covered in b***d.

-You’re a bastard and you’ll pay for this. She threatened him.

-He’s not from the island, he’s Fernando, my ex.

-You’re a bastard, you tried to rape her again. He approached him to hit him again, but Andromeda grabbed him by the shirt.

-No!

-You must report him.

-I will.

They called the police and took Fernando away, he would spend a few nights in jail until he was deported to the United States. Andromeda called his parents to tell them everything, and then she called her own. They were planning to take a flight, but she asked them not to, as she was planning to return the next day. Antoni listened to everything she said to her parents and she was attentive to his gaze. He had arrived very quickly in Serifos and she thanked the heavens that he was on time. She was calm having him there with so many policemen around. At last she hung up and the officers left, leaving them alone.

-Andromeda.

-Thank you for coming and saving me but you can go now, I’ll be fine.

-Leaving the house was not a good idea.

-I had to. -I was in the way over there.

-The only one in the way was Kalesa.

-She’s your fiancée, how can you talk like that? I yell at her.

-She’s nothing of mine. She broke up with me two years ago Andromeda, she’s crazy obsessed with me. You can ask my parents my love, I’m telling the truth.

-I can’t believe you. He said between tears. She was still sitting on the sofa downstairs with the sheet over her.

She couldn’t do it, it was useless to make an effort. After all, how could she believe such a thing. The fact that she was there didn’t mean that she would believe anything he said, she was grateful that he helped her, but that was as far as it went. She would never be anyone’s whore. She had pride and dignity and no matter how much she liked that man she wouldn’t accept him.
