Walking out of the apartment complex where Luis lived in his penthouse, i was met with some heavy rain, damnit!

It wasnt enough that i was only wearing some tight tee shirt with a skirt and the coat Luis had given me, i couldnt cover my hair and i couldnt stop those hot tears of anger and towards Luis and anger towards myself from falling so by the time I got a cab i would look probably look like some wet puppy.

i was still looking skimming the roads when a black SUV came to a startling stop infront of me. I peeked inside the window and saw Russo by the wheel.

"Please get in Elena," was all he said. He looked so kind and ernest i decided to just go with him. Besides where there cabs around the streets of the rich people?

In the car, the warm air conditioning helped to calm me down and i finally stopped crying.

"So you and Luis are very close," i decided to break the silence.

"I guess you could say so. No one is really close to Luis anyways." He spoke with a small chuckle.

That was weird, if no one was close how about that redhead bitch from earlier tonight? I debated over my head whether i should ask Russo but decided against it. I wasnt going to show how jealous I was.

We continued to talk more and more, i asked him about his family and i learned that he was divorced and had two kids, twin girls. He was working on getting his ex-wife back but he didnt seem optimistic.

I tried to pry information about Luis from him but he wouldnt budge. Eventually i got bored and sat quietly at the back.

"We have arrived miss Elena," shit! I wasnt ready to stay alone in this house.

"Can we go to a bar please?" I added the extra puppy eyes to make sure he couldnt back out. I needed some way to get all these feelings out of my system, i wanted to forget Luis but some small part of me wasnt ready yet.

"Hmh! Ok lets go, but just two drinks. I cant have Luis knowing i made you drunk."

"Excuse me, Luis is not the boss of me. I can do anything i want and he wont have a fucking opinion about it, ok?" I was fuming after my outburst. Luis could have been the boss of my everything before, now after realizing what he and that fucking bitch Stephanie had, i called myself stupid for wanting to give that man everything.

We drove in silence towards the bar that i worked at. It seemed the new boss hadnt waited to show everyone that he was the new owner. He had tore down derrick's sign and replaced it with another that read Winx Club!

I remembered the name Winx Club from the cartoon fairies me and my sister used to watch when we were a happy family. My favourite had been Tecna While my sister's favourite was Bloom. Ofcourse she would choose the perfect one.

When we walked into the bar, it was in full swing. Derrick could have never gotten the bar to fill up this much. It had all kinds of people from the bankers and lawyers in their suits to the truck drivers with their prostitutes.

We went up to the second floor and got a table overlooking the counter, and damn! The bartender was hot. He had tattoos all around his neck and arms. i think one was Showing from the collar of his shirt.

When the waiter came i ordered a double tequila, i needed to loosen myself if i was to numb the throbbing ache in my heart.

Russo just ordered water. He was so uptight and serious. Well it was his funeral, i couldnt be bothered by someone else right now.

The waiter brought our drinks and i downed mine immediately and boy was that a mistake. The alcohol burned down my throat and brought tears to my eyes.

"Waiter," i called. The man came immediately and he was eyeing Russo with alot of apprehension, eveyone could see how upright he was and he needed to let loose a little.

"Bring me another drink, and bring my friend here something nice too. Dont make it too strong because he is the designated driver." I winked at him.

The alcohol was already getting to me, i never winked at men.

When the drinks were brought i downed mine immediately, damnit! I never learn, the burning sensation was worse yet i loved the tingling and buzzing feeling it brought in my head.

When i looked to Russo, his drink had not been touched. god! He was so serious, he was just brooding with a bottle of water in his hands. his eyes caught me looking at him,

"Ok, lets go. You have already had enough drinks."

"No, let me go. Dont ruin my fun." I pulled free from the grip he had on my arm and as result i spiralled out of control and i was sure i was heading to fall of the stairs. I dont know whether it was the alcohol or whether i was just fearless but i wasnt screaming or grabbing at anything.

Then I felt strong hands grab me and my head was brought to a standstill. The sudden jerking movement upset my stomach and i vomitted on the stranger.

"Shit! I heard him speak under his breath. Let me help you, lets go to the bathroom."

My head was now spinning and the burning sensation of bile and alcohol in my throat just brought tears to my eyes.

I followed the stranger to the restroom, i didnt even notice it was the male restroom.

"Here, let me take off your coat. I was still wearing Luis' coat from the evening earlier.

"Let me take off your blouse too, it has puke too." My conscious was now screaming at me to try and get out but i was so intoxicated It was so hard to even push him. He began to roughly kiss my mouth and moved to my neck.

I began to cry because it dawned on me that i was going to be raped, again. The cloud in my head began to clear up and i got a view of the man doing this. He looked to be in his 40s and he had a pot belly.

Where had Russo gone? Where was he when i needed him to butt into my life?

I tried to knee him in the balls but i could only hit him a little because my back was pressed against the sink.

He put his hand around my throat and started to choke me, the tears only increased and i felt as if now i was going to slowly pass out.

Noo! This couldnt happen again, God if you are there please help me.

I was slowly loosing my will power and even strength and i felt him relax.

I tried to lunge at him one last time and i succesfully pushed him off me and he flew towards the door Just as someone opened the door.

It caught him right in the back of his head, he fell with a grunt and i guessed passed out. My brown hair had fallen over my face and it was Covered in my tears.

"Are you ok lady? Let me help you." Some stranger guy was talking to me. I couldnt stop crying amd when he pulled me closer to his chest. It was hard but not like Luis' chest. Arghh! Why was i thinking about that cheating bastard now?

But maybe i was just stupid. We were not in any relationship but here I was feeling jealous of that redhead bitch Stephanie.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when the stranger pulled out a handkerchief and began to wipe my face. Thankfully most of my vomit was on the rapist's coat. 

"hey, its ok. Dont move away, i wont hurt you." He had a kind voice and a sad smile.

"Come on, lets get you out of here," He spoke while helping me up. As we were walking out, i came face to face with Russo.

"Elena, thank god you are ok. i have looked everywhere for you."

"Thank you Russo, i am leaving now. Goodnight!" I turned and walked towards the exit before he could reply. I could literary see his mouth hanging open from the side of my eyes.

As soon as I got out, the evening cold hit me so hard, i shivered so much. Here, the stranger handed me his black jacket. My mind was screaming at me not trust this man, but something about his soft eyes made me trust him a little bit.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when a cab pulled up beside us. We got in and i gave the cabbie instructions to my place, i know i shouldnt have done it with the stranger still in the car but i could care less now.

I dont know whether i would still get my protection services from my James Bond, I was going to miss his clumsy efforts to camouflage hismelf.

"Hey, my name is Sam by the way." He spoke while rubbing the back of his head. I could tell he was very shy and wasnt used to being this close to girls.

"My name is Elena-Rose," i had never told anyone my full name but i thought he deserved it.

"Nice." Was all he could say. He was staring out of the window so hard at nothing in particular.

"Do you want my number?" I decided to play with him and lighten the mood.

"Oh, Aha! Yes, sure." He spoke all four replies at the same time.

Shit! I had forgotten that i didnt have a phone. How was i going to get out of this one?

"Tell you what? You give me yours. I promise i will get in contact."

He took out a card from his wallet and handed it to him.

"TOM AND SAMS' MECHANICS'. Nice!" I read the business card he had given me."

"Thanks, Tom is my dad but he passed away last year." He spoke with sadness and i couldnt help but feel sorry for him.

"Am sorry, hope you make him proud and grow the business."

"I hope so too." He said with determination in his voice. I really liked Sam, he was soft and kind. He wasnt rude to anyone and he didnt lead girls on unlike some other guy i knew so well.

But still i dont think i could ever feel more for him. Luis was still very fresh in my head and as much as i hated to admit it, i really missed him.

"We are here miss," the driver called. I tried to fish anything out of my skirt pocket to pay for the fare but Sam grabbed my hand and told me it was fine, he would pay and he insisted.

Such a sweet guy, i thought as the cab pulled away.

I walked up to the gate and was shocked at what i saw.

"HOUSE FOR SALE." That is what the sign had said. As if it wasnt enough, there wws another even bigger sign that had the same words but also added the price tag 36,000$.

What the actual fuck had happened? As i opened the door, i heard shouts from scross the road.

"Hey you lady. What are you doing? This is private property, get out before i call the police."

"Excuse me sir, but i live here. This place belongs to me and my Fiance. His name is Franco Perotti."

"I dont know no one miss, but steer clear of this property if you dont want trouble."

Damnit! I kicked a stray can of soda on the road as i walked away from my own house.

I needed to talk to Franco, surely he wouldnt let me become homeless.

Hey peeps!! So, I know you gonna come with pitchforks at me so i got a bodyguard in advance😂😂

Anyways, this was the most difficult chapter for me to put up. I felt like i was really failing and this story was terrible. But kudos to KrisssyNicole  for pulling me through, thanks. Those two texts meant alot.

Also special recognition to these girls too, your support means the world to me.
