Chapter 21
***Bry's POV****
We found Ava downstairs in a very uncomfortable silence. Her sombre face and her tense posture
were extremely telling. I have never seen that look on her, even when we threw pretty bad insults her
way.
Ray had cut my story about my past earlier to create a distraction for her. She seemed to have taken it
hard and we wanted her to first cool down.
Ray resumed his place besides her on the comfy couch. He squeezed her hand slightly, assuring her
that he was going to be there the entire time. After she said I could go on with the narration, I did.
'Remember I had told you earlier that we had planned to sneak out? ' I asked her and got a nod from
her.
'Like I said earlier, we didn't know our drinks had been laced with different stuff. Mine with viagra and
Ray's with sleeping pills. ' I reminded her, before continuing.
'So when we went to our rooms
I waited for Ray to come get me. I was going to wait for 30 minutes before we set our plan in motion.
But before I could even think about going to Ray's room Monica came in, locking the door completely.
I kind of knew something was wrong. I still remember to this day how she had this weird look in her
eyes.
She was holding a matchbox and a candle on her right hand. At this point I knew I was in trouble and
the only thing on my mind at that time was to call on to Ray.
'Ha ha my little cute boy, Ray won't help you. He's totally asleep, won't wake up till tomorrow.' She had
deciphered the look that I had.
Her voice was laced with something evil but sweet none the less. It was soft and evil a weird
combination if you ask me.
'Strip.' She all but ordered.
Her eyes were glued to me, her face spotting a scowl. She wasn't bluffing I could tell and whatever she
had in mind wasn't pleasant at all.
'I'll burn your skin raw with this candle wax, one mistake and you'll pay. I'm I clear boy?' she raised her
voice on me.
I was hyperventilating, my heart was beating erratically I couldn't think straight even if I wanted to.
It was my 12th birthday Ava, I didn't know what to do to save myself. So I stripped myself bear with my
hands shaking.
All that while, Monica was standing in front of me smiling wickedly at the sight of my naked body.
'Stay still, I don't want to punish you cute boy.' She addressed me, her voice laced with venom.
I had no doubt in my mind that she would hurt me if I refused. So I willed my body to follow each and
every command.
She pulled my junk repeatedly, making it grow stiff. I didn't want it Ava, I don't know why I was growing
hard. It was so confusing to me at that moment.
I was as innocent as they came, I had never touched myself that way. And even though my friend
talked about masturbating all the time, I wasn't interested in trying at all.'
Ava was crying now, hiccuping at the same time. Of course she knew what was coming next and it
fucking hurt her.
It hurt me too seeing her this way, but I needed her to understand why I did some things.
Ray was being strong for her, he didn't like hearing me narrate what happened. It affected him so
much, he had lived with guilt for sometime.
He blamed himself for falling asleep and allowing that wretched woman to defile me. But I made him
understand that it wasn't his fault at all.
'I stood still, only allowing tears to fall silently. It was hell for me Ava, it was terrible. The things she did
to me were not humane at all.
She was smiling at me, clearly enjoying what she was doing to me.
'I can see that the Viagra worked perfectly fine.' She spoke with a smiley face, probably happy with her
actions.
I wasn't stupid, I knew what Viagra was and what it was meant to do to me.
She suddenly pushed a finger in my ass, drawing a painful scream from my lips.
The pain was too much for me, it was tearing me apart. I couldn't stand Ava, my knees were giving out,
but she held me with one hand in place.
I swear I begged her to stop, I begged her with everything I had in me but she only made it worse.
She was swimming in my pleas, enjoying every bit of it. She added another finger and another one.
I had lost count and the only thing I could feel was the pain that I felt.
'Your dad refused to give me what I wanted, I will take it from you instead Oh no, so this was because
of my dad.
My mind refused to comprehend what she was saying. Not when my ass was being torn apart.
No matter how much I begged for her to stop, she never did, she only made it worse until I just stopped
begging.
I was becoming nauseated, my stomach was twisting and my head was starting to hurt so much.
My body couldn't take it any longer and when she removed her fingers, my body shut down completely.
The shock from the pain had been so intense.
I don't know what happened when I lost consciousness. But when I woke up, everything hurt. She gave
me painkillers, before telling me that if I ever told anyone, she would kill my brother.
The threat was real, and if it meant letting her do what she wanted to keep Ray safe from her claws, NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
then I would do it.
Her assaults continued for some months until Ray walked in on us one day.
He hadn't taken the juice she had laced with sleeping pills. She had also not bothered to lock my
bedroom door. So when Ray heard me screaming, he had bolted to my room, only to find her fingers
deep inside my ass.
She had made it a habit to give him the pills without his knowledge. She had also repeatedly
threatened me to keep my mouth shut.
I remember how he had stood frozen in place before finally letting his body move to save me. He was
only fourteen but he was quite tall for that age.
When she saw him, she didn't appear frightened or anything like that. She instead told him that she
was happy he could join us.
I watched as Ray told her he was going to call the police. She only laughed evilly at him, promising him
a nice beating once she got her hands on me.
She had tried latching on him but before she could get to him, he had bolted down the stairs. No doubt
to call the police.
I think she panicked when she heard him mention the police and so she reacted by trying to catch up
with him, to stop him from making the call.
I couldn't even make a step and so I lay on the bed praying to God that Ray would make it.
I didn't want to imagine what she would do to him if she caught up with him.
Minutes later, there were medics and police in my room checking up on me and of course wanting to
take me to the hospital.
I learnt later that, Monica had taken off after Ray called 911. She knew that she was in trouble and so
she ran away without hurting Ray.
She however was captured and after much convincing, the prosecutors managed to make a plea deal
with her. They didn't want me to go through trial and relieve everything she had put me through.
So yeah that's what happened to me. It took a lot of therapy to come into terms with what happened
Ava.
When I saw you walk through that door as our new house help, I hated you and liked you at the same
time.
I was attracted to you but then you reminded me of Monica. I didn't want to like you at all.
It was hard for me to acknowledge my feelings for you when you reminded me of her all the time.
I knew you were nothing like her, but I didn't know what to do. I was a bitter man, I let anger control me
and in the process I hurt you and Ray.
I forced him to treat you that way Ava, it was all me. I think he realised later that what we were doing to
you was wrong, and he just stopped it.
He made me realise that you are a good person. You tolerated me even with all my insults.
I didn't understand why you wanted me even after all that. But now I know that you are a good person
Ava.
I got no excuse treating you the way I did. But please Ava, please give me a chance, I just want to l...'
'I forgive you. I'm so sorry Bry'. she kept on saying sorry. She was a sobbing mess, she felt and
understood my pain.
I finally stood, walking to her I helped her on her feet and hugged her. Seeing her like this hurt me, I
realised then and there that my feelings for her were so strong and that she was the right woman for
me.
After calming her down, she suddenly stepped back and the looked at both of us.
'Uh oh' Ray muttered, clearly knowing what she wanted to ask.
'So you're both fucking?'
