Flashback
Some gut feelings are always right. You should never ignore them. Else trouble
I should have never agreed to wear this dress. It makes me highly uncomfortable. And insecure. The Glances I receive is not encouraging. It was black sleeve less dress with enough cleavage that any men will droll at me and imagine I am ready f**k. It hardly reached my knees exposing my legs to world.
Rosalie looked very disturbed with that thought.
" you look as if you are going to vomit. I brought you here for getting laid. you need that. You need to move on from past" her Mia tried to brush away her unwanted insecurities. But Rosalie knew they will never leave her.
Is that so easy to move on. Forgetting past and start a new life in a city of complete strangers. But that what she just did. Ran away from past and got a new job in unknown town. She closed her eyes.
No, she can’t. Her wounds are fresh as new. It is going to take more time to heal
Blood and betrayal ran through my veins. And Rosalie shivered with that feeling.
“Drank this “Mia handed over me a shot
“No. she declined.
“Just for tonight forget everything. What ever happened to you. Enjoy the night”
Rosalie drank in one shot. She felt free. Mia is right for this one night let her body and soul be free.
She began dance forgetting the past and world.
And he came……
May I have a dance with you.” A husky voice asked.
He was tall and dark. He was handsome and half drunk. But I was least interested.
“Bianchi “
“Francesco Bianchi. “He introduced himself.
“Turner. Rosalie Turner.” I replied back without much enthusiasm. Which surprised him. She guesses he was expecting her to fall over him in any minutes. After waiting for few more minutes, he said.
You are very beautiful. Dance with me” He invited. But Rosalie was hesitant. Something told her this man was dangerous and she got negative vibes from him.
“Don’t provoke him. It’s just a dance after that he will leave you alone.” He is a big man in city. Mia whispers in her ears.
She danced with him against her better judgements. Then she felt his hands were slowly travelling throughout her body as if he was enjoying her body slowly. She got the sign.
His intentions which he expected her to cooperate. Rosalie tried to pull back. But he was strong. Stronger than her. He then kissed her. Rosalie was in shock. With all strength she got she pushed him away from her.
“Don’t act like a saint wearing that skinny dress of yours. It was invitation for every man in this club to your bed”
“I am not that kind of girl. “Rosalie hissed and tried to walk away. But he held her strong.
“Wearing short black that almost show your legs and cleavage means you are that kind of girl. How much is your price? Name anything that is yours. This night I want you. “
“I am not for sale “Rosalie tried to get myself free.
“Sale or not. This night you are going to be mine and no one is going to stop me. You are mine Rose flower” He said wickedly.
ignoring all my fights and protest he carried me to an empty room with whole club watched silently.
No one came to help me. My screams were deaf to their ears. All acted as these all are normal. They enjoyed rest of evening and I was attacked by an animal.
End of flash back.
Rosalie just finished her trauma with two officers sitting in front of her.
Officer Lana William as the name tag suggestion shown her a picture from her phone.
“Are you sure this is the man.” She asked.
It was him. I knew it. I will never forget those green monstrous eyes.
"That's him. Francisco Bianchi." Mia who stood with me confirmed.
"When are you going to arrest him." Rosalie asked Them.
Other officer named Thomas looked at her with sympathy and said.
" I know you are going through trauma. But before that you need know certain things.
“You were there with her. Drinking alcohol and dancing. There was no presence of Francesco Bianchi there. We have checked the cctv footage. When we checked with Bianchi’s, Mr. Francesco Bianchi was attending business meeting in Miami. And we asked people present in club. No one saw you with him. “
“I saw him.” Mia said suddenly.
“But can you testify against him.” Officer Thomas asked.
Mia was silent. And Rosalie knew she is losing.
She looked at Mia. Her eyes were down.
“So, it was basically my fault to get myself raped” Rosalie said with frustration.
“Your medical reports say you are raped. But the fact is it was not Francesco Bianchi. That’s all. Officer Thomas stated. His eyes were down. And Rosalie knew he knew the truth and still sided the wrong side. He was lying. With a smile She said
“Proof or without it. I will fight for my justice. I don’t need anybody’s help” Rosalie said angrily.
Officer Lana came close to me and said
“Rosalie, don’t get me wrong. I have a daughter of your age. I fear her safety. Just like I fear for your life. You can't fight against them. Ms. Turner. They are powerful. They own the city. You will be dead if you go against them. Try to move on with life. Like nothing happened. That is the only good thing for you and your friend’s life “
It was a mother’s voice. I knew that. She wiped Rosalie’s tear and gone. Rosalie felt her care and helplessness in those words. She can’t help me. In fact, one can help me.
Wrong.
No one will help me against them. And Francesco Bianchi walks away freely. And she will watch that like nothing happened.
And she looked at above. She doesn’t see anything. she saw Only blank ceiling like her. future.
