“I want you inside my office now!” the man said, gritting his teeth. In a minute, she came into her boss' office. She entered the room and did not even try to look at him as she was nervous. It was the first time that her boss shouted at her. “Lock the door, Dei." He stood up from his seat and led his way to the private room inside of his office. "Come inside and lock the door here as well." Dei followed. She felt uneasy with him today. She just stood there, still looking at the floor. “What do you want, Sir Shu–" “I want you right now. Take off your clothes yourself or I will rip them off for you,” he said, aggressively. “Come here. Undress me too.” Afraid of seeing herself as he said, she went to him and started to unbutton his polo. She was trembling and her eyes felt hot. Dei breathed heavily, trying to calm herself. Unfortunately, she didn't succeed. Dei's boss aggressively ripped off her blouse and undergarments. He took off her skirt and threw it away. He pushed Dei to his bed and leaned onto her. He started kissing her ravishingly and held her hands to the headboard. She couldn't escape from his doing. She was silently crying. Dei knows shouting for help won't do anything. The room was soundproof. Then, she felt their lips touch. She was hurt. His kisses were rough. Her lips bled after he bit her bottom lip. Her boss wasn't satisfied with their position. He took his necktie and tied Dei's hands to the headboard. He got up, went to his storage, and picked two customized laces that he ordered. Dei couldn't stop crying. Then she felt that her feet were being tied up as well by her boss. Hurt was written on her face when she felt something inside. “No, please. No...” “You can't say 'no' to me. You know that.” He then claimed her. Multiple times. Until both of them passed out. When Dei woke up, she was alone in bed. She was covered by a blanket. She looked down. It was her first. She promised herself that she would only give herself to someone she loves. Dei let her tears escape from her eyes and wiped them when she heard his voice. “You're awake. Use the shower and dress up. My mom will be here in a few minutes.” He looked at his watch and then at her, “I want you out of my room before she comes here. I know you understand. Get up!” He smirked. Although she is in pain and sore down there, she slowly got up and went to his bathroom. When she was finished she covered herself with the towel that he gave her a while ago. “Wear this." With that, he left. Dei put on the clothes that her boss brought to her. She was fixing her hair when the door opened. “I said, come outside. My mom is already in the lobby.” He closed the door aggressively. A minute later, her boss' mother came into his office. “Good morning, Mrs Spade...” Dei greeted the woman. She gave her a small smile. But she knew Mrs. Spade would also feel something is wrong. The woman still smiled at Dei and turned her look to her son who just came out of the shower. It's obvious that he just went out of the bathroom because of his wet hair and he still has the towel on his neck although he had dressed up already. “Get us something to drink,” he requested. Dei, as a personal assistant of him, went out and do what he told her. Then she immediately goes back after. “Here.” She placed the drinks on the table when she notices that Mrs Spade had been staring at her. She became nervous and asked, “i-is there a... problem?” She looked down. “No. You're not feeling well today. Are you?” Mrs Spade asked. “Your voice is broken, you know? It's hoarse. I think you should drink lemonade or tea...” “O-okay. Thanks...” Dei went back to her office which is located inside her boss' office. She knew the old woman would say. Mrs Spade had been thoughtful to her employees. Dei's thoughts were everywhere. She couldn't think straight. Until she felt her eyes start to close. She didn't fight herself. Dei fell asleep on her desk. Months passed by but there were still times that Dei's boss managed to get and have time with her, intimately. She would see herself being penetrated by him, begging him him him to stop, passing out, and then again. To her boss, it was a cycle, but to her, it was a nightmare. Until she woke up and realized that she has a choice but it will cost her, their life rather, a big time... Dei resigned from being his assistant. She was only twenty-one when she became a mother. She could have lived and enjoyed her own life. Nevertheless, it was one of the best decisions she had ever made. She smiled, looking at her son who was sleeping soundly in her arms. Dei kissed her son's forehead. “I love you, Deus. I will take care of you no matter what... I will give you a peaceful life until God knows when.” Dei closed her eyes with a smile on her face.
