Prologue
She hid in a huge tree and used her palm to cover her mouth... While holding her breath, tears started flowing down from her eyes.
All she could hear were his footsteps as well as the rapid throbbing of her chest.
"Baby!!" He hissed... sounds like a madman.
"Come out!- I just want to play!... A pleasurable foreplay!" he shouted and laughed slightly which scared her even more.
Nathalie's legs trembled in fear while suppressing the sound of her sobs. She gripped tightly to her chest and was unable to resist the loud thump.
"Come out baby, it will be fun… I promise!."
She could hear his footsteps approaching the tree where she was hiding "Oh god, please, don't come near me," she thought.
She kept holding her mouth as her sweat kept flowing through her skin because of the nervousness and fear that ran through her whole body.
She didn't know what to do.
Should she run or stay in that tree?
"Baby?!...come out." He whispered "I don't like seeking" the man uttered.
Nathalie took a deep breath as something moved on a nearby tree. And she once more heard his dangerous laugh "Are you hiding there? Come out now, please!."
While holding her breath in fear, Nathalie saw out of the corner of her eye that he was heading in a different direction... So, she slowly and carefully stepped out to change her hiding spot but accidentally stepped on a fragile wood that created a noise.
She saw his vivid eyes while grinning at her.
"Got ya!" he shouted.
Nathalie was so scared, she ran away as fast as she could to escape.
"Please, Stay away from me" she cried out loud while sobbing.
"I can't hear you!."
She didn't bother to look back, all she had in her mind was to escape that beast-man.
"Baby! Don't run away, you're just making yourself tired. I will not let you go!... never!" The man shouted while Nathalie just kept running…she was about to reach the end.
"Baby!! You can't run away from me anymore."
The water in the river was rushing... If she jumped, she would not be surely found alive— but she had no choice.
Nathalie was about to jump... suddenly her clothes got caught in a branch of a tree.
She pulled her clothes forcefully "N-no!."
"You have nowhere else to go, you're mine tonight," he said.
Nathalie was desperate, she pulled on her dress until it tore apart— the reason why she fell on the ground.
She even more trembled in fear... the man was so close... she wanted to run but she couldn't...
"H-help!!" She screamed as her knees were shaking and still tried to stand up.
Even before Nathalie could run, the man hit her legs with a thick stick, causing her to fall to the ground again.
"Ahhh!" Nathalie shouted in pain.
"I gotcha baby!" His voice was monstrous in her ears so she just cried while desperately trying to crawl away from him.
The man gripped her arms so tightly that she could no longer resist. He overpowered her and kissed her forcibly but she tried to resist.
"P-lease don't!" She pleaded as she tried to pull away from the man's grip.
His eyes glazed and slapped her hard on the cheek, causing the edge of her lips to bleed.
"Don't try to make me angry!! pikon na pikon na ako sayo!!" He said more authoritatively.
The man tried to kiss her again, but this time he gripped her jaw tightly so she couldn't avoid it anymore.
While one of his hands was still holding her wrist. He mercilessly desecrates Nathalie's lips as tears are dripping away from her eyes.
His kiss creeps up her neck and starts sucking and biting her skin... She tried to speak to the plea even though she was so scared.
"M-aawa ka sa akin...P-akawalan mo na ako" she said huskily.
The man didn't listen and forcibly took off her pants and underwear, while his hands violently massaged her impressive breast.
Nathalie cried out in pain and anxiously begged him to stop "Enough please, it hurts" she pleaded but the man continued to rape her mercilessly.
"No!!!." Nathalie screamed while crying hysterically.
His movement was so fast. He unbuckled his belt took it off, and immediately bound Nathalie's feet and almost screamed out at the tightness of the bondage.
She couldn't scream for help anymore because he immediately covered her mouth with his palm.
"Don't be noisy, baby." After he tied her up, he immediately opened the zipper of his pants, then released his erect manhood and caressed it softly in front of her.
"Ahh f**k!" he growled softly as he slowly rubbed his genitals.
Todo iyak sa takot si Nathalie at pilit na kumakalas sa mahigpit nitong hawak, ngunit wala siyang magawa. She's hopeless.... "A-yoko!! pakawalan mo ko!! parang awa mo na!!" pagmamakaawa niya ng makawala ang kanyang bibig sa palad ng lalake.
He rubbed his manhood at Nathalie's entrance, which made her scream even more in fear.
"H-hindi ko k-aya, pakiusap tama na!" Nathalie pleaded as her voice trembled.
The man violently licked her lips, which Nathalie moaned in fear and not out of relish. The man continued to rub his manhood on her delicacy, which made her cry even more.
Suddenly, he inserted his manhood into Nathalie's femininity, which made her scream in pain.
She pinched her cry because his palm blocked her mouth while tears dripped with the pain of the destruction of her hymen while the man was careless in what he was doing.
Nathalie held so tightly to the grass around her, while the man was still plowing her femininity. She wept and groaned in fear and didn't stop screaming "Ahhh, stop!!" she begged, but he didn't listen.
While her body was shaking because of the man's throbbing... She couldn't stand it anymore. She lost consciousness and didn't know what happened next.

Nathalie woke up because of the rays of the sun hitting her face. She couldn't move from where she was and the tears just flowed on her own.
"H-help me-" the only words coming out of her mouth.
"Help me!?'' she murmured as her hands trembled while touching her nakedness and wept bitterly. Her body was covered in mud and blood.
Blood that came from the thing between her legs. "Mom!" Lolo Dad! help me" she screamed in her husky voice.
The sun is starting to rise but Nathalie is about to set. She was pitiful lying in a secluded place and only lush grass covered her naked body.
Even though Nathalie was weak she tried to move and, one by one, she searched for her scattered clothes.
She was still weakening and pitifully crawling across the lawn and had no proper clothes left because the ruthless rapist tore them all apart.
Nathalie saw a phone "P-hone-" she said weakly. Her hands were shaking as she picked up the phone.
Since she didn't memorize her mother's number, her LoloDad was the first one she called.
It rang twice "LoloDad, please pick up the phone" sambit niya habang humihikbi but her LoloDad didn't answer the previous calls. On the third ring, her Grandfather answered, finally.
"Hello? Who's this?."
Nathalie tried to suppress her sob, "LoloDad? it's N-athalie."
"Nathalie? Where did you go?- I couldn't sleep worrying about you. Where are you? I'm going there." He said worriedly.
"LoloDad, I-don't know where I am," Suddenly tears dripped from her eyes that she had been holding back earlier. "I was in the middle of the woods, I didn't know where I was... I'm scared LoloDad. Please Help me!."
"What are you doing there? How come you didn't know where you are?" his grandfather was restless... It was too obvious in his voice.
"LoloDad please t-take me out of here f-first, I'll explain later," she said as her voice trembled.
"Wait for me there, okay? I'll just orient my men to search for your location so I can get you right away... Don't turn off the call, I want to hear your voice until we find you okay?... Please be brave honey, I'm in a hurry."
"Y-es LoloDad, bring me clothes please, I badly need them right now." Nathalie tried to strengthen herself and wiped away her tears as she waited for her LoloDad.
"I'm on my way, honey... You made me worry all night! What's going on with my princess?" She heard across the line.
"You're the only one who worries about me?" Nathalie asked sadly "What about my Mom?" she took a deep breath before speaking again.
"Well, I don't have to ask anymore, I know she doesn't because she doesn't love me or even like me" Her voice was sad as she talked to her grandfather.
"Don't talk like that honey, she loves you. She just doesn't show it, but your Mom loves you", her LoloDad said trying to convince her.
"You're lying LoloDad... I've known for a long time that she never considered me as her child. " The person on the other line did not answer and suddenly a cloth was wrapped around her.
"What happened to you, honey?" It was her LoloDad.
Nathalie dropped the phone and didn't answer, she just cried so her Grandpa hugged her tightly.
"Who did this to you?!!" Her LoloDad shouted angrily.
"I don't k-know," she said.
"Who?!!!" her grandfather's voice was trembling and tears were about to drip.
"Whoever does this to you will pay! That's a promise."
Nathalie just nodded in response. There was still a lot playing on her mind. How could she make the person who did this to her pay if she couldn't even remember his face?
A few minutes passed before she could speak.
"I was raped, LoloDad!, and even if we make pay the perpetrator- my filthiness won't be changed" Nathalie's voice was sad as her tears continued to flow.
His staff came and helped her sit in a wheelchair, "Let's go home", his grandfather said.
Nathalie knew that even though her grandfather looked blankly she was sure that he was just pretending.
Even if her LoloDad tries to hide it, his eyes can't lie. She could see in his eyes the sadness, worry, as well as anger.
Her grandfather pushed the wheelchair where she was sitting and rode on a Mercedes-Benz Metris.
Her Grandpa didn't take her home but sent her straight to the hospital because of the bruises and wounds she sustained.
The doctors examined her body and found the rupture of her hymen, proof that she had indeed been raped.
Nathalie was resting in the hospital bed when her mother came in. Nathalie was suddenly moved "Momm-"
Her mother suddenly slapped her hard. "You!" she pointed her finger at Nathalie. "You have brought nothing to this family but shame!" her eyes glazed over and furious.
"You are the one who will bring down this family!!, If I!... If I only knew in the first place I wouldn't have adopted you!"
"Enough Samantha", her grandfather shouted, who had just entered. "That's Enough. Didn't you see the condition of your daughter?."
"She is not my child", her mother strongly stated.
"Sam!" There was a warning in his voice "Let's talk outside, now!!."
Her mother immediately followed and left her in the room.
"We've already talked about this, Samantha. If you don't treat her properly you will lose all your inheritance!!. I would not hesitate to give everything to Nathalie. She's your sister after all. " Don Lazaro uttered.
''Do you favor her even more? She is just your daughter to your disgraced mistress!" said Samantha sharply.
"Don't you dare to mention her again!" Lazaro's voice was authoritative. "This is a warning!."
''Why Dad ?!. Hindi ba totoo? That you just raped Nathalie's mother? Why don't you try to tell her the truth? That you raped her real Mom!?. Let's just see if your beloved daughter will still accept you! Ngayon na she had suffered the same fate as her mother.''
Lazaro was silent at what Samantha uttered because what she said was all true.
He indeed raped Nathalie's mother but it was unintentional.
He was drunk and not in the right sanity.
He loves Nathalie's mother but she loves someone else.
In his obsession with her, he has done something that he will regret for the rest of his life.
Nathalie's mother died out of the depression. She suffered after she gave birth to Nathalie... she hanged herself and died.
So from that day on, he promised that he would never leave his daughter.
"I don't want to let her down, but that doesn't seem to be happening right now. The nightmare that had happened in the past was repeated. My daughter is the one who suffers from all the sins I committed- I can no longer forgive myself until the pit I will take it. Every time I look at her, I see her Mother Athena. And in Nathalie's situation right now, it's like I'm being stabbed over and over again." He thought and took a deep breath.
"This is my last request to you, Samantha. Don't ever tell her the truth. I'd rather hide the truth and stay as her grandfather than make her suffer from being a raped child... I don't want every time she sees me... she will remember what happened to her and to her mother... I don't want her to look at me like I was the man who raped her-" Lazaro said as he pleaded.
"You're being selfish!" Samantha said bitterly.
"I only do what I think is best, so if selfishness is going to be the reason so that she may not perish, I will do it for her with no hesitation," Lazaro said determinedly.
Sam chuckled sadly and looked coldly at her father. "Do I need to be a raped child so you can love me the way you love her?" After Sam said that, she immediately walked away because, for her, there was no reason for them to talk anymore.
