Chapter 50
Selene glared at Richard, stepping away from him with fear written all over her face.
“What are you doing here?” She questioned him, continuing her movement but Richard tried to close the distance between them.
“I said I came to see you,” Richard replied, the smirk still on his lips. “Even though it’s nighttime, you still look very beautiful. Too beautiful,” he added, licking his lips like an animal.
Selene stared at the gate where she had come out from. It was too far for her to run to and she was sure Richard would run after her. She didn’t need to ask him exactly what he wanted to do with her because there was only one thing he wanted from her, to rape her. He’d already made his move when she went to the Wallace mansion the other time.
She had thought that her threat was strong enough to make him back away from her. Unfortunately, she was wrong.
“If you don’t stay away from me, I will scream,” she threatened, her eyes flaring in anger. Now she regretted not asking Liam to wait for her as he had offered earlier.
“Go ahead,” he urged, spreading his hands, and turning around before standing in front of her again. “I don’t see anyone here who would listen to you scream after all, so go right ahead, I won’t stop you,” he added.
Since Selene had been walking on the street, she hadn’t seen a single soul or a car move past her which could only mean one thing. She was completely helpless until Xavier arrived. But there was no time to stand and wait, she needed to run.
Without replying to him, she bolted out of there. She was glad she wasn’t wearing any heels but wore sneakers which helped her run a bit faster.
She could hear Richard’s heavy breathing from behind her with his steps that got closer and closer to her.
Tears streamed down from Selene’s eyes without her realizing it. She had thought she was able to escape from her past by making an appearance with a new identity so they wouldn’t disturb her anymore. But it seemed she was wrong. Richard still wanted to rape her and beat her up like he usually did.
Selene’s heart pounded hard in her chest as she ran. She didn’t know where to head, so she kept running straight. When she thought she couldn’t hear Richard’s steps anymore, she suddenly felt herself being pulled back.
“And where do you think you are going huh?” Richard questioned her, dragging her to an abandoned uncompleted building.
Selene tried to fight for an escape but Richard held her still.
“HELP!!” She screamed out loud with tears streaming down her face.
Richard threw her to the hard wall, the impact making her back hurt badly but she ignored it and tried to crawl back but then, she received a hard slap on her cheeks that had her blood paint her lips.
“You are not going anywhere until I’m done with you,” Richard spat, fetching his phone and setting it at a near distance away from them.
Selene’s eyes widened in shock.
He was going to videotape everything.
She glared at Richard who was unbuckling his jeans while wiping the blood that was on her lips.
“You will only get to rape me upon my dead body,” she said before trying to escape again.
Richard pulled her by the hair, making her yelp in pain.
“Anastasia also struggled like this the first time I raped her, but after a few times, she gave up,” he said, taking off her thin jacket with so much force it ended up tearing apart. “Which is why I’m taking a video of everything that I’m going to do to you today Selene. So that I can use the video to blackmail you into letting me sleep with you whenever I want,” he added.
He reached for her shirt, intending to tear it but she fought back. Selene aimed to kick him in between his legs but his legs had pressed hers together. She could barely move her lower body.
“Please,” she pleaded, more tears streaming down her face. Her lips trembled in fear as she tried to keep up with Richard, but he was stronger and bigger than her. In no time, he tore open her clothes and her black bra came into view.
“Now that’s what I’m talking about,” he whispered, licking his lips.
A few meters away from the abandoned house, Xavier tried calling Selene’s phone a few times but she wasn’t picking up. He had already gone to the set but she wasn’t there. The crew informed him that they saw her leaving on foot.
Xavier gritted her teeth as he continued to call her while looking around in case he caught a glimpse of her.
Xavier tried calling her again. He heard a faint ringtone a few feet away from him. He ran towards it and found a handbag with a phone screen lit up now and then. He recognized it to be Selene’s bag. He picked it up before looking around again.
Suddenly, he heard someone scream. Without waiting a second, he ran towards the direction the sound came from.
He found an abandoned building and ran into it. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
Richard seemed to have sensed his presence and turned to look at who had intruded on his fun while he was trying to pull Selene’s jeans off her legs.
But he didn’t get to see the person’s face when he received a hard punch on his face, which led him to spit out one of his teeth.
“What the hell?” Richard cursed as he tried to get up but he was shaking, unable to stand since the punch hadn’t worn off.
Xavier saw Selene lying on the ground, half naked with blood on her face with swollen cheeks.
He balled his fist before landing another punch on Richard which led the latter to pass out.
