Lost and Alone

Chapter 3

*One month later*

Vasilisa’s POV:

It’s been a month since that horrible incident. No matter how hard I try to forget it I just can’t. That night has left it permanent mark on my mind. Whenever I see myself in the mirror, I remember that night. The wounds which he gave me have now turned into scars. Some are fading, some are not. The bite mark on my left breast is the darkest scar of all the scars. I don’t think it will fade anytime soon.

Whenever I see the scars, I remember that night. I always have nightmares about that night. They are only getting more and more.

I have not spoken about the incident to anyone. Not a single soul. I have only written that in my diary. I don’t know with whom I can express myself, writing is the only way I can express myself. I haven’t spoken with any of my friends either. Friends? More like Acquaintance. I can’t call them friends.

Speaking of ‘friends’, I had tried to get in contact with Lilian, but she was ignoring my calls. When I went to her house, her parents told me she has gone to Paris for some work. They had also given her new phone number to me, I tried to call from that, but she never picked the phone. I also tried to talk with some of her close friends, but they said they didn’t know anything about her. But deep down I know that she has asked them not to say anything with me.

I just wanted to ask her what she had told to Valerio, that made him raped me. I just want to know the truth.

Valerio. I have not seen him after he put me inside the jail. For that I am thankful. I just hope I would never have to see his face again.

Right now, am on the way to my work. Today our new owner would be visiting our branch. I don’t know why the former owner of the company, in which I worked, sold the company a week ago. The company might have been small, but it was doing really good in the market. I was more surprised when our manger informed us that the new owner would be visiting our branch. Our branch was small but had a good performance.

Even though I don’t know who the owner is, I have heard that he is a kind man, but always what’s perfection in all the things. He also made an office for himself in all the branches, where only he was allowed

When I reached my office, the manager came towards me.

“Vasilisa, you are right on time. I was just searching.” He says.

“Yes, Steve. How can I help you?” I asked him.

“Nothing much. Just to inform you that you are fired,” he says, giving me a sad smile.

“What!! But why? I was given the best performer just two months ago. So why am I fired,” I ask, totally shocked.

“I don’t know. It was the new boss who fired you. You should ask him,” he says and leaves

I can’t believe it. The new owner fired me! I don’t even know who the new owner was. Why would he fire me? I have to meet him.

When I asked Steve whether the new owner had come, he told me he was in his office. So now I’m going to his office. I have to convince him not to fire me. I needed this job. I have to take care of my family, mom’s medical expenses, Szandra’s college fees. I need this job. I need to speak to the boss.

I knocked that door to ask permission to enter, I heard familiar voice say come in.

When I entered a shiver went down through my vein, and my blood ran cold, seeing the last person I wished to see.

“Valerio?”  I say his name. All the memories if that night came before me. My vision became blur, because of the tears.

“Surprised to see me,” he says with a smirk pastured on his face. I didn’t know what he was doing here. Was he the new owner?

“I am the new boss here,” he says and leans back on the chair, still smirking, sending chills down my back. I wanted to run away but didn’t because I didn’t want him to know that I am weak. I am not weak. I will prove it. Also, I have to do this for my family.

“What do you want Valerio? Why did you fire me? What wrong have I done?” I ask him.

“What do I want? Haven’t I already told you that I would make your life a living hell? Yea that’s what I want. I want you to suffer,” He bangs his desk and shouts. “Your mistake is that you are alive. Your mistake is that you ever met me. Your mistake is coming between my relationship. And for all your mistakes I’m going to make your life a living hell” He continues and smirks evilly. I just stare at him in fear, the fear visible on my face.

“And regarding your job, I have a better offer for you,” he says still smirking.

“What is it?” I ask, not have any good feeling about the job he is offering.

“Being my Personal assistant,” he says with an evil smirk on his face.
