Caught in his chain

Victoria

When I came to I was in a hospital .

I tried to get up , my body was in pain . Then I remembered my children , where are my kids? Are they safe.

A gentleman walked in , he was tall, masculine, had medium brown hair, clean shaved beard and green eyes . I could guess hes thirty.

"You are awake Mrs Piers"he said.

"Please call me Victoria Katrina"I said.

He came to where I lay as he was on his phone.

"Where are my kids ? Are they okay?"I asked .

"They are okay , let me get them "he said, the doctor came in to check up on me, the gentleman came in shortly immediately my kids saw me they ran up to me hugging me , I kissed them .

I am so happy they are okay.

"Mommy we missed you"Phoenix said.

"I will never leave you again "I said.

Dhalia came and laid next to me as I held her while Phoenix held my hand.

"Thanks a lot , I really appreciate it ."I said to mr hot stranger, he was as hot as Christian though ofcourse Christian was more handsome.

"Am Jake Christian's bestfriend, hes the one you should thank.He came to your house and found you , he rushed you here and took care of the kids , I was just helping him"he said.

"Am still grateful . Thank you so much"I said .

Am overjoyed

"Mommy I dont want to see daddy hes bad ."Dhalia said.

"He wont harm us ever again , we will live just the three of us . We will be safe"I said.

I am done with my marriage to Travis , am more than ready to fight him in court , I will start with the custody of my children ,  full custody of  that is

Then proceed with the divorce.I want to end things as soon as possible.

Travis is very manipulative the slower I act the more tactical he gets , he can use anything to gain my sympathy even faking an illness or madness.

"Can we also move to another house mom"Phoenix asked.

"Ofcourse honey, any you want ."I said.

To someone it may seem like my kids are too demanding , but I would rather have them  ask me such questions that those on the sensitive matter on what really happened to me after they left.

I knew Travis was going to kill me once he was done , here I am alive with my babies , am beyond grateful.

The door opened , it was Christian, his face lit up when he saw me.

"Okay kids, whos up for some snickers and icecream "Jake said .

Their sweet little faces lit up.

He held their hands as they walked out .He closed the door.

Christian stood beside the bed.

"Thank you for everything "I said

"Its my duty to take care of my patient."he said.

I smiled.

"I should have seen it coming "I said.

"It wasnt your fault."he said.

" I found out why my marriage was failing , turns out he was inlove with a group of men , his costars . I didnt want to be with him anymore so I filed for divorce, he got angry that I did,  he wanted to teach me a lesson , well  here I am looking like s**t"I said.

"You are alive , your kids love you so much we all care about you."he said.

"Thank you "I said.

"Also , the media is going nuts about what happened, they want to hear the full story , especially your side"he said.

The media always know when something is wrong , how they do it only they can answer that.

"I will take care of that."I said.

Its time I just told the truth , no more sugar coating  or lies.I want a normal life in order to have it I must be honest .

"Good news is he didnt do any internal injuries well except one .your bruises are external and in two days you can be discharged"he said.

" am I going to be okay down there, it really hurts I am scared to pee"I said. My v****a hurt so bad worse than giving birth ,rapists  should be sentenced to death.

He looked at my abdomen then back at my eyes.

"You will be okay , we can offer you some counselling  post rape,  and you can file a case against him  ."he said .

I laughed  then cried.

"Who would have thought a man I fell madly inlove with , said yes to and gave him two beautiful children would beat me up and rape me . Am pathetic. Besides , he wont be charged with rape since hes my husband . The court can rule it as a conjugal right"I said wiping away my tears.

"Victoria , I didnt tell you everything that happened before my wedding ."he said.

He took a seat and drew it to where I laid.

"My fiancè was my joy , my pride I loved her with my heart,  she was pregnant with our first son . When she went to her bachelorette party and had an accident she died but the girls who were with her that night are still alive  married and have  families. I asked myself why her and not them , she was an aspiring mother , we even began to pick names of our one month son before he was even born .  I hated myself for days. Each night I would say why didnt that accident take her friends and not her? My love was snatched away from me just like that. You know the most painful part is. Seeing her body , it was in a bad shape her brains were out , blood all over her white bachelorette wedding dress, her eyes were wide open . It was so horrific that we cremated her body , the morgue attendant couldnt do much stitches to make her look more human and not some piece of meat.

I know how you feel, its unfair isnt it? You ask yourself why me? "He said.

Am deeply saddened by his story I didnt know how deep it was.

"Its so painful to bury the one you love , I went into depression for a long time , all I could see was her, sometimes I would stop random women thinking its her . Its painful and it hurts. Those kids dont see a pathetic loser,  those kids see  a hero. Their wonderwoman. You must fight for them . Take a look at me I didnt see my son , but you have the priviledge to hold your kids and kiss them goodnight, now more than ever they need you . "He said, he held my hand .

"Thanks for the pep talk"I said.

"You needed it"he said.

I nodded smiling at him.

"So what next from here?"he asked.

"My divorce , moving out of his house, boost my business, focus on my kids"I said.

"Great start Victoria, "he said.

Two days later I was discharged , my wounds healed a little.

The kids and I will crush at a hotel until I buy a house.

"So where will you stay in the mean time?"Jake asked.

"I will stay in a hotel, I havent bought a house yet"I said 

"You could stay at my place . If its okay" Christian said.

"Sure, "I said, I am doing this for my kids but I wouldnt stay with a man after what my husband had done to me.

We alighted the elevator , I held my kids hands as we walked to Christian's parked Range rover.

He had car seats for the kids .

I buckled my seatbelt , Phoenix was playing some games on Christian's tablet with his sister.

Jake had to rush to my house to pick my stuff and the kids stuff. I wanted to go but they refused saying I am still fresh from the painful memories.

I had made him a list of what I needed and where they would be.

*********************************

"And they lived happily ever after . The end"I said .

Phoenix and Dhalia were already sleepy.

"Goodnight my loves"I said kissing their temples.

"Love you mommy "they said .

"I love you too"I said.

I turned off the lights  and closed the door.

I bumped into Christian as I was leaving the room .

He held my waist  then let go before I knew it.

"Sorry about that"he said , not  sure if hes sorry about bumping into me or holding my waist.

His phone rang he excused himself.

Ruby laid on the carpet floor , shes tired and pregnant.

My phone rang.

"Hello"I said

"Good evening Mrs Piers, this is Grace from   The Royal show I wanted to ask you some few questions pertaining the incident that occured between you and your husband"came the voice.

"Um.. Grace right. I wont answer any question over the phone. I can answer all the questions you have on a face to face interview"I said .

"Oh! My , thank you Mrs Piers. Would tommorrow be convenient for you?"she asked.

"Sure I will come down to the station , text me the time . And please call me Victoria"I said .

"Thank you Victoria "She said.

She texted me the time , I will be there at eight then I can head to my lawyer's office .Because of  what Travis did my deposition hearing will happen as soon as possible the divorce will be in less than a month.

Christian was in his room .

I walked in .

"Christian , can I ask you something"I said.

"Sure Victoria ask, "he said.

" if a husband rapes his wife is it an offense ?"I asked .

" yes, it is ."he said.

"Okay , thank you "I said.

I am still in alittle bit of pain  from the horsewhip Travis hit me with.

Taking off my clothes was painful I need to shower I hate the smell of hospital on me.

If undressing is hell I wonder how showering will be.

Christian got up from the bed and took off his shirt.

He has some fine set of eight packs not even a six pack.

"Let me help you shower"he said I laughed.

"I can do it on my own"I said.

"Trust me Victoria"he said

"Okay fine then"I said.

He led me to the bathroom ,

I was naked infront of him, hes used to this , hes a gynaecologist I bet hes seen lots of naked women in his career.

He poured some soap all over my body and cleaned me  using a sponge carefully minding the bruises on my body .

After showering he dried me using a towel.

"Does it hurt"he said looking at my crotch.

"A little."I said.

"Lie down on the bed so that I can have a look "he said.

I glared at him

"Am a gynaecologist Victoria "he said.

I laid down naked  and spread my legs . It just feels different when its not in his office.

Hes shirtless and hot , has tattooes on his arm and chest .

He goes down and stared at my girl parts .

"You will be fine , seems he went rough on you , you are a little sore"he said he touched my labia lips.

I moved a little.

"Does it hurt?"he asked softly looking up at me.

His touch felt so good and nice , its like I wanted him to keep touching me... there.

"Is this normal for you?"I asked him .

" yes , its my whole life Victoria"he said.

Seems odd to live your whole life on p*****s for a man maybe its an honor.

He got up , he had a bulge on his shorts.

He noticed I had seen .

"This are a little wet I will change"he said. He must have a big d**k that  bulge was big. He got excited over me? Am aroused by the thought of him imagining about me.

He headed  to the bathroom taking with him another pair of shorts.

I took a nightdress from my suitcase Jake did a great job bringing all I asked for.

Its a short black lace nightdress, I had all my nightdresses lace to be a little sexy for my husband but he hardly noticed me or what I wore .

Christian walked back to the bedroom and  looked at me from head to toe , he had an unreadable expression his brow arched up.

"I can sleep on the couch "I said.

"My bed is huge Victoria you can sleep here, the livingroom can get cold in the middle of the night , you can trust me I wont do anything stupid"he said.

I got in bed , he got in too.

Back at the hospital they gave me some sedatives so I could sleep  well . Now am a little scared to sleep fearing the nightmares of what happened may come back to haunt me.

Anxiety began to slowly kick in ,  its so wierd a mother of two is scared of sleeping fearing a nightmare may pop by.

I had no other option but to ask for the unthinkable.

"Christian"I said.

"Yes Victoria"he said.

"Can you hold me please, am afraid"I said .

He moved over to where I lay , I laid on  top him. He wrapped his hands over my back.

His body was hard but comfy, and soothing ... and a developing erection .

"Christian umm..." I said

" Dont worry , it will settle down . "He said.

"Does it do that?"I asked.

"Nope, its because you are on top of me , my mind shifts to many filthy thoughts"he said.

I blushed.

"Lets sleep Victoria we have a long day tomorrow"he said.

"Good night Christian."I said.

"Goodnight Victoria"he said .His strong hands over me, making me feel safe and secure.
