Ten Days With The Fake Billionaire

chapter 26

Everything had changed the night that she was almost raped by her stepfather, and there was no one to rescue her as her mother was on a business trip. Fighting and struggling for her life, she managed to leave him with a wound as she pushed him hard and hit the ground, he tore his head on the edge of a small fable by her room.

The fight in her was terrible and the panting that she was feeling inside her chest could not be explained. She had just suffered a case of attempted rape and all's he could do was to run out of the cabin that faithful night to hide in the guest compartment.

It was all raining and everything seemed dark but that was not what bothered her. She was scared of something which was bigger than the darkness and checking left and right for anything object with which she could use to defend herself, Yvonne trembled in fear.

That was the worst night of her life and all she wanted was the night to be over so that her mother could come back the next day. Patching herself under a little space where she always hid herself each some she played him and seek, her stepfather searched for her all over the house that night but could not find her anything.

Halting her story for a while as she took another sip from the glass, Gael was burning inside as he wanted to know what had happened next. Tasha saw the eagerness in his eyes, she stared at him while waiting for him to have so much uncertainty, she rolled her tongue on the glass while giving him some more time.

Yvonne not being able to do anything, had called her boss to inform him about her absence that day and he was fine with it. She was having a hard time doing anything and going through her things in the house, she felt happy to have been in the position where she was.

Everything seemed to be okay but her heart was not fine and thinking about the things that had happened, all she wanted was to have a good time with the ones she loves.

She had recalled the incident when her friend was caught up in a fire incident and that was something that she normally loves to think about whenever she was sad or lonely as it made her believe that good men still exists that that to find one was so difficult and it took a lot of patience and determination to meet one.

Yvonne started laughing and saying,

"You don't know what has been happening these past few days?. Are you this lost? she asked.

This question left a lot of questions roaming through Tasha's mind and she was more curious to know what her friend could be referring to.

She looked at her and asked what was so funny that she couldn't share with her.

Yvonne sighed and walked to the other side of the kitchen and leaned on the wall and with the help of her left hand, she placed it under her chin for support as she looked at her friend with teasing eyes.

Tasha was getting impatient as she had noticed that it had something to do with their boss and she turned to continue with the cleaning of the sink since that was the last thing to do to complete her work in the kitchen.

She was the type that knew her friend's behavior to be guided so she thought to herself that might be she had nothing to say but just wanted to showcase her normal personality of being a nuisance.

Yvonne noticed that her friend was interested in her and wasn't taking her serious either so she left from her spot and walked to her taking a glass from the glass stand and getting a bottle of water from the fridge saying,

" Did you notice anything strange from the incident that had happened to you? she asked opening the bottle of water, and pouring it into the glass slowly so as not to let it spill on the dry and wiped surface.

Tasha couldn't recall much from the incident so she was wondering what her friend was talking about.

"What do you mean Yvonne?", she asked lost from all indications and wanted to hear what her friend had off her chest.

Yvonne drank up the first glass and poured out some more water into the glass again.

Tasha's face was pale and twisted with anguish and anxiety to hear what her friend had to say, her eyes sunk from waiting for her friend to spill whatever she had to say.

Yvonne looked from the window of the kitchen onto a fallen fresh air from the summer and said to her friend,

"Didn't you notice how caring our boss was with you?",

Tasha opened her eyes would open and her mouth was in shock as someone was stroked by an incurable disease.

She closed the door behind her and walked closer to her friend asking?

" What in heaven are you saying Yvonne?", she asked in total confusion.

Yvonne was surprised by the seriousness of her friend and how lost she was not to have noticed anything, and it was strange to be used Tasha was more alerted than her.

Tasha could have been very mad if this was going from someone else but she wasn't as it was her friend that was saying it and knowing who Yvonne was, she could not be saying something like this for anything.

"I believe you must have noticed that he was at the hospital to check on you and he also settled the hospital bills too or did you not?", She interrogated strolling in the kitchen to the cupboard standing by it to get some coated peanuts.

Tasha was dumbfounded by how much Yvonne had noticed and she became worried about what the other colleagues must be saying behind her back at that precise moment.

" You know full well that our boss is a flirtatious person and I didn't know his purpose for doing that", she defended herself from whatever Yvonne was thinking in her head.

Her mother called out from the living room and she had to attend to her mom before coming back to the kitchen to continue with the conversation.

When she went to meet her mother, she wanted her to make some tea for her to help her to sleep.

Tasha came back to the kitchen to meet her friend who was still feeding on the peanuts with so much appetite.

She put on the stove, poured some water into a kettle, and put it on the stove.

She took a chair by the kitchen door and sat down on it as she had not yet recovered fully.

With deep thought and a huge sigh, Yvonne continued,

"I had never seen Mr. Torres behave in that manner before with anyone. He is always so busy and he keeps a straight face whenever he passes by his staff". She narrated.

Tasha was silent and kept listening to what her friend had to let out.

Yvonne brought into the world something that Tasha wasn't even thinking of talk less of noticing

The heat from the kitchen cook stove permeated the whole kitchen and the kettle signaled that the water was ready for the tea preparation.

Tasha stood up and put off the stove and with the help of the right hand and he feet taking her up to get a tea goblet from the kitchen holds off, she brought out a tea mug and took a sieve from the little stand, and sieved the teach into the mug and excused herself to go give her mom.

Torres was on his way out to give his dirty dresses to a laundry room to be washed.***

A smile had cropped up her face as she thought about that incident that had happened some years back and that was how Tasha met her husband. Their boss was one hell of a flirt and the only thing that was still making Yvonne talk to him was the fact that her friend was dying for him slowly.
