-ONE WEEK LATER-

“Hey, thanks for letting me bring Dontae. It’s hard leaving him and the neighbor isn’t always available to feed him and take him out.” Jasmine said, petting Dontae.

“No problem. Baby listen, I have to go, so I’ll talk to you later okay. Love you.” Draco said on the other line.

“Okay. Love you too.” Jasmine said, hanging up. “Alright Dontae, you stay here, I’ll be right back. I’m going to Raiden’s house. But I’ll be back.” Hearing Raiden’s name Dontae’s ears went right up.

“Yes I know, you love him. He’ll come over later.”

With that, Jasmine left and drove to Raiden’s house. “Hey guys I’m here.” Jasmine said, opening the door.

“In here!” Raiden yelled out. Jasmine followed the sound of his voice and went to the open doorway. She saw Raiden cutting his hair.

“OMG, what are you doing?” Jasmine walked up behind him.

“Finally cutting it. It’s been long for such a long time and I’ve been wanting to cut it short lately.” Raiden said, pausing and looking at Jasmine through the mirror.

“Well, you can’t do it by yourself. Let me help you, before you go bald.” Jasmine grabbed all the tools and pushed his shoulders down to sit on the stool. Then she went to work. She ended up cutting his hair short on the sides but long on the top so he can still push it back.

“Hey, what’s going on?” Lisa asked, walking into the bathroom.

“Coco helping me out. As she said, I’ll go bald if I try to do it.” Raiden said laughing. He stood up and grabbed the gel styling his hair.

“It looks good. Great job Jasmine.” Lisa said, admiring the cut. The phone rang in the distance and Lisa ran to get it.

Raiden looked at Jasmine through the mirror as he was cleaning his hands. She was looking down at the razor and other tools and absentmindedly moved them around.

“What’s on your mind?” Raiden asked, noticing her seriousness.

“Umm…I don’t really know. Nothing bothers me or at least, I don’t know, just being quiet I guess. I haven’t felt like myself lately. It’s weird…I still have this nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach.”

Raiden turned and cupped her face in his hands.

“Listen to me, you are very important to all of us…especially to me.” Raiden had this look in his eyes that just made her feel better.

“We all love you, we will be on your side no matter what. Understand?”

“Yea.” Jasmine said with tears in her eyes.

“I don’t know what that nagging feeling is. But no matter what. I am here, even if no one else can be. I am.” Raiden wiped her tears and hugged her. “I’m always here for you Jasmine.” Raiden whispered in her ear. She nodded and pulled back and continued to style Raiden’s hair with some more product.

They walked out from the bathroom and into the living room. They noticed Lisa was on the phone with her back to them. “Just make sure you do your job that I am paying you for…” Lisa angrily said over the phone and turned around and noticed Raiden and Jasmine staring at her with confused faces.

“Everything alright babe?” Raiden asked, walking up to her as she quickly hung up.

“Yea sorry…I…um just paid someone to do a surprise for a friend and they are taking forever to complete it. It’s frustrating.” Lisa said nervously, lying through her teeth.

“I’m sure everything will work out.” Jasmine said, walking over to her friend and giving her a side hug.

“Thanks hun.” Lisa said, hugging her back. They all relaxed on the couch and watched a movie.

“What do you ladies like for dinner? We can order out today.” Raiden said, walking up and grabbing a small stack of menu’s.

“Mmm…I guess some Chinese. We could get a couple of different things and just share it between us.” Jasmine suggested, looking at Raiden and Lisa. Raiden nodded his head and looked toward Lisa, noticing she was very occupied with her phone.

“Babe…” Raiden said, walking up to Lisa. He startled her, and she immediately locked her phone and looked up.

“Hi…sorry what did you say?” Lisa looked at Raiden, and he squinted his eyes at her. He has been noticing her acting strangely lately. But he kept ignoring it. After awhile, Raiden took a deep breath and was willing to let it go, “Are you okay with Chinese and we all share with each other?”

“Yea that sounds good.” Lisa smiled. She held her phone tightly in her hand. She had just got done messaging the guy she paid off to handle her problem. Raiden silently nodded his head. Jasmine looked between the two and decided to give them space.

“Raiden order and I’ll be back. It’s been a couple of hours and I want to check on Dontae.” Jasmine said, getting up.

“Okay. Call if you need anything.” Raiden said, looking towards her, he grabbed his phone and dialed the Chinese take out. Jasmine nodded and looked towards Lisa, noticing her staring at her. She smiled lightly at Lisa and walked out to her car. She drove a few minutes to Draco’s property. As she got there, she noticed the door was ajar. As she entered, she saw Dontae tied up and a muzzle on his mouth with a rope tied to him holding him back. She ran to him and fell to her knees.

“Baby what happened? Oh my god!” Jasmine exclaimed. Dontae was growling behind his muzzle. She tried to undo the rope, but before she got far she felt something hard on her back.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” A man’s deep voice said behind her. Jasmine froze, a chill falling down her back. She slowly let go of the rope as she figured the man was holding a weapon at her back.

“Get up and go upstairs to the bedroom.” Jasmine hesitated, as she was still in shock.

“NOW!” The man yelled he was about to reach for her when Jasmine jumped to her feet and walked upstairs as her pursuer followed her. As they reached the room, he turned her around aggressively and punched her right in her face. She fell to the floor groaning in pain. The man straddled her and repeatedly punched her. She felt her lip and eyebrow split open. Hot blood pouring down. A metallic taste in her mouth. She could barely see through her eyes from the swelling. All she felt was pain. Blood poured from her face and onto her white shirt. “I didn’t want to do this…but I’m being paid, and I need the money. But after seeing this body, I think it’s worth it.”

He stood up and grabbed her by the hair forcefully. “Now let’s see what’s under these clothes…this I’ll do for free.” As he looked at her body. She tried defending herself, but she was so dizzy and in pain. She was weak from the beating he gave her. Plus, he had more weight on her, he was too strong. He yanked her shirt off and took out his switchblade and forcefully cut through her bra, cutting her chest doing so. He yanked her pants off and cut through her panties, also cutting her skin. He flipped her onto her stomach, he grabbed her hands and forced them behind her back, tying her hands with her shirt, then he pushed her legs apart. He unbuckled his pants and released his c**k, stroking himself as he looked down at her. He lifted her waist and rammed right into her.

Jasmine yelled out in pain, but he quickly covered her mouth with his hand to silence her screams and agony. She felt like he was ripping her insides. He continued to thrust into her hard to the point where she was bleeding profusely.

When he finally came inside of her, he got off of her, fixed his pants up and kicked her ribs repeatedly to the point of breaking several of them. She cried out with each kick. He picked her up by the hair, “You need to shut up you wh*re!” He slammed her against the wall and wrapped his hands around her throat and squeezed hard. She grabbed onto his hands and started to weakly pound on his chest when she couldn’t breathe and dark spots showing up in the corner of her eyes. She was able to dig her nails into his wrist cutting his skin, and he yelped in pain. “You b*tch” He slammed her head back against the wall two times before she let go of his wrist.

The man released her throat and Jasmine fell to the floor gasping and coughing up blood. “One more last gift for you…” He knelt down by her and took his switchblade, looked at it and looked towards her. “I have a message for you… Know your place.” With that, he made cuts all over her body, some deeper than others, on one, he carved the word wh*re over her right breast. When he felt satisfied with his work, he got up and went to the bathroom and turned the knob to cold in the tub. He went back to Jasmine picked her up, and he threw her in the tub. After he cleaned himself up, he went downstairs, gave a quick kick to Dontae, pulled out his phone, confirmed that his job was done and walked out.
