Prologue

JESSICA Villadolid is only 18 years old but already looks like a full-grown woman. She developed early and inherited her parents’ good looks. Her mom was a beauty queen and even competed in international pageants, while her father used to be a model. Aside from being taller than the average 18-year olds, her skin is so fair and smooth, and her hair is long and straight. Her body is also quite sexy, and you wouldn’t think that she’s just 18 years old. Because of her beauty, she’s done a few TV commercials, and she’s actually being groomed to follow in her mother’s footsteps. When she turns 19, she’s going to be trained to start joining beauty pageants. After Jessica’s parents got married, they opened up their own business and sold beauty products. They started reselling products imported from different countries until they eventually decided to manufacture their own beauty products. The husband and wife team was able to grow their business into a multi-billion empire, which meant a comfortable life for their family. Jessica was the eldest of three kids, being the only girl. Her young brothers are six and five years younger than her, respectively. Since Jessica grew up in wealth and luxury, she became spoiled and was rude to people, including her parents, friends, and even her younger brothers. Her friends tolerated her because she was the most popular girl in school. Aside from being the most beautiful student in their school, she was the captain of the cheerleading squad and the president of the student council. She achieved all these, despite only being a junior in high school. Aside from all these, Jessica was also smart. She’s not at the top of her class, but she’s on the honor roll. The top spot belongs to Paul Santillan, the school nerd. Jessica’s achievements are considered a great feat, considering that she’s studying at the most prestigious high school in the country. It’s also one of the most expensive ones. Since Jessica was the most popular girl in school, it’s only expected that she’ll be hooking up with the most popular boy in school. For almost three years now, Jessica has been dating 18-year old Jamie Olmedo. He’s also a senior and the captain of the basketball team. He became more popular when he bagged Jessica, and they are the envy of everyone at school. Jessica has a group of friends that she usually hangs out with, in and out of school, which includes Ashley, Kendra, and Denise. Ashley has always been envious of Jessica and never understood why she’s not as popular as her. One time, Jessica implied that Ashley is too presumptuous that she deserves to be as popular as her. She also said that maybe she should get plastic surgery to look as pretty as her. This prompted Ashley to get her nose done, which ended up looking worse than the original nose she had. Jessica started bullying her and eventually stopped being friends with her. Ashley ended up trying to kill herself. She survived, but her family moved away after the incident. Jessica’s other friends knew that it was her fault, but she never took any responsibility and even made fun of how weak Ashley was. Kendra and Denise continued hanging out with Jessica despite hating her guts because they were scared to suffer the same fate as Ashley. Since Jessica was very pretty, she never ran out of admirers, despite the fact that she was already dating someone else. One of her admirers was none other than Paul, the top student in their class. Paul was not completely bad-looking, but he had big glasses that obscured his face, and his hair was curly and always quite messy. He’s also usually untidy and usually comes to school wearing a crumpled uniform and dirty shoes. Paul is actually an orphan, and he lives in an orphanage near the school. Paul managed to study at the prestigious school because he got in on a full scholarship. He had always been a very smart student and a very talented programmer and coder at a very young age. In fact, he sold his first app a year ago for half a million pesos. He donated most of the money he earned to the orphanage. He just kept enough to buy himself computer equipment so he could continue making apps. Paul has always had a crush on Jessica since freshman year. Jessica didn’t use to be as rude and spoiled as she is now, and she even talked to Paul one time when he dropped a book. Jessica smiled as she handed it to him. Since then, Paul has been smitten, and by the time they got to junior year, he’s sure that he’s in love with her. One day, Paul decided that he was done waiting and planned to confess his feelings for Jessica and asked her to be his date for prom. Before visiting Jessica at their house, he bought her flowers and chocolates and bought new clothes. He even styled his hair so that it would look tame. He actually looked quite nice. He knocked on the door, but he didn’t even manage to get in. Jessica opened the door and looked surprised as she realized who it was. She got out and asked, “Paul? What are you doing here?” Paul: “Hi Jessica. I bought you these.” Jessica: “Thank you.” He then handed the gifts she bought for her. She was confused but took them nonetheless. She was so stunned at how different the nerdy guy looked that she was actually nice to him. This encouraged Paul to continue with his plan. Jessica eventually got annoyed and said, “ What do you want?” Paul: “Uhm, I was wondering if I could ask you something.” Jessica: “What?” Paul: “I was wondering if I could invite you to prom as my date.” Jessica looked stunned at first before she eventually started laughing. Paul was equally stunned. What was so funny about what he said? Jessica: “Are you seriously asking me to be your date to the prom?” Paul: “Uhm, yes. What’s so funny?” Jessica: “I actually thought you were joking.” Paul: “I’m not.” Jessica then realized the meaning behind the chocolates and flowers and shoved them back to Paul before saying, “I’m not going out with you! Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? You’re a nerd. I’m the most popular girl in school. Did you really think I would go out with you?” Paul was dumbfounded. He didn’t expect Jessica to treat him this harshly. Just when he thought she was done, she kept berating him. Jessica: “Besides, I have a boyfriend. Why would you think I would choose you over him? You must be dreaming.” Paul wanted to cry but didn’t want to give her the satisfaction that she got to him, so he just said, “I’m sorry. I’m just going to go.” As Paul left, he could still hear Jessica laughing. At that moment, he felt so small, and he fully regretted asking her out to prom. He didn’t even get the chance to confess his feelings. It’s a good thing that he didn’t, lest she might insult him some more and make fun of her feelings. From then on, Paul swore never to let any woman trample on him like that, and he vowed to be a better version of himself. Jessica started bullying Paul and even got her friends, her boyfriend, and her boyfriend’s friends to join her. Paul used to be the wallflower that no one noticed, but since he asked Jessica to prom, he’s been ridiculed to no end. Jamie even punched him one time, which Jessica surprisingly stopped. Despite her rudeness, she doesn’t like violence and stops it every time the boys get too aggressive with Paul. This didn’t make things any better for Paul, and he did his best to ignore all the bullying. He’s determined to push through to meet his goals. A little bullying will not stop him. On prom night, Jessica was more gorgeous than ever. She’s wearing an off-shoulder floor-length red dress that has a long slit. It showed off her sexy body and emphasized both her ample bo0bs and legs. Her hair and make-up were immaculately done by a professional. No one even came close to how pretty she was. Because of this, Jamie couldn’t take his hands off her, and he booked a hotel room to take Jessica to after the prom. He’s been wanting to have s*x with her, but she has kept refusing him. Jamie is determined to finally do it on prom night. Jamie put something in Jessica’s drink and invited him to the hotel room, telling her that there was an after-party. When they got to the room, Jamie started taking Jessica’s clothes off and proceeded to have his way with her. Because of the drugs, she couldn’t refuse him. Jessica woke up in bed, still in her prom gown, with her body hurting all over. She couldn’t remember how she got home and why she didn’t have any recollection of what happened the previous night. She tried to stand up, but the area inside her legs hurt too. She stayed in bed until she felt well enough to get up and get a bath. When she took off her gown, she saw a few marks on her body. It looked like hickeys, and she felt horrified as she thought of why she had these marks and who could have given them to her. She also felt some dried-up liquid between her legs. Jessica felt better as she soaked her body in hot water. She relaxed and tried to remember what happened at prom night, but she was still drawing blanks. When she got out of the bath, she put on a towel and dried herself. Before getting dressed, she sent a message to her boyfriend Jamie, asking what happened last night and how she got home. Jamie replied that she got drunk, and he drove her home. He’s claiming that she must have blacked out because she drank too much alcohol. Jessica wondered how much alcohol she could have drunk to cause her to blackout. She does not even remember drinking alcohol and just drank that one glass of mocktail that Jamie handed to her. Maybe she drank alcohol after that and just couldn’t remember it because of the blackout. Jessica let it go and just chilled at home for the rest of the day. After prom night, Jamie started getting cold and wasn’t as sweet to Jessica anymore. She couldn’t stop wondering why, but she wasn’t too bothered about it. The truth is, she doesn’t like Jamie that much, and she just started dating him because he’s popular and he’s easy on the eyes too. Jessica doesn’t like Jamie’s roughness and how he still can’t stop flirting with other girls even if they are together. When Jamie broke up with him, Jessica was insulted because she was planning to do it too, but he beat her to it. When he did, she made a scene, which she later regretted. She didn’t even know why she cared. Within the next few weeks, Jessica noticed some changes in her body. Her bo0bs started feeling tender, and her hips started getting bigger. She also started putting on some weight, and she always felt tired and sleepy even after she’d just woken up. One morning, she felt nauseated and started throwing up. She thought about what she could have eaten that caused her to vomit, but it was the same as it’s always been. She didn’t eat anything that she doesn’t usually eat. She decided to go to the doctor to get a checkup when she vomited again the next day, and that is when she found out that she was pregnant. She laughed when she heard what the doctor said, and when she realized that she wasn’t joking, she said, “How is that possible? I’ve never even had s*x yet?” Doctor: “Are you sure?” Jessica: “Yes, I am. I’m only 15. I’ve never had s*x with anyone before.” Doctor: “Do you have a boyfriend?” Jessica: “I did. But we broke up about a month ago.” Doctor: “What did you and your boyfriend use to do when you’re alone?” Jessica: “Look, doctor. I’m not stupid. I know what s*x is and how babies are made. I am telling you, my ex-boyfriend’s p*nis has never been near my v*gina, neither has his tongue nor his hands.” The doctor was shocked at her outburst and held both hands up to calm her down. Doctor: “Okay, okay, I believe you. Was there ever an opportunity that he could have had s*x with you without you knowing?” Jessica: “What? No! How is that possible?” Doctor: “Maybe you were passed out at the time. Was there ever a situation when you don’t remember what happened when you woke up the next day?” Jessica suddenly froze and thought about prom night. She remembers waking up the next day, not remembering anything that happened the night before. She couldn’t help but think if it was possible that she and Jamie had s*x that night without her knowing. If that’s the case, isn’t that tantamount to r**e? The doctor must have noticed the change in Jessica’s expression and said, “Something like that happened to you, didn’t it?” She didn’t reply right away and kept thinking. She stood up and said, “No. I have to go.” Before she left, the doctor said, “If what I just said just happened to you, you have to tell someone. You could tell your parents or a friend. It is possible that you were raped.” As she traveled home, Jessica couldn’t stop thinking of her situation. She decided she could get the information straight from the source and asked her driver to head towards Jamie’s house. She was relieved to see his car in their driveway when she got there. She walked towards the door and rang the bell. She was surprised when instead of Jamie, her friend, Kendra, opened the door. They were both stunned to see each other, and Kendra started talking. Kendra: “Uhm, Jessica, it’s not what you think. Jamie was just asking her with the assignment.” Jessica: “I don’t care whatever you do with Jamie. I just need to talk to him. Where is he?” Jamie appeared behind Kendra and put his arms on her shoulder. He smirked as he said, “What’s up, Jessica?” Jessica: ”Let’s talk.” Jessica walked away from their front door since I didn’t want to come into their house. She had been there a few times, and when she did, Jamie always wanted to have s*x with her. They never went beyond kissing and some necking. She has never even let him touch her bo0bs, so she knows for sure that she has never had s*x with him. Jessica heard Jamie say behind her, “If you want to get back together, you have to convince me first. We can go inside, and you have to do better than Kendra.” She turned around to face him and said, “Ew, I don’t want to get back together with you. I just need to ask you something.” Jamie looked annoyed as he said, “What?” Jessica: “What happened on prom night? I don’t remember anything, and when I woke up, I was aching all over and found some dry liquid between my legs. I also had kiss marks all over my body. Did you do anything to me while I was passed out?” Jamie: “Whoa, whoa, what are you accusing me of?” Jessica: “I’m not accusing you of anything. I’m trying to find out what happened.” Jamie: “You won’t even let me touch your bo0bs, let alone your p*ssy!” Jessica: “Exactly! So how do you explain the fact that I’m pregnant?” Jamie: “You’re what?” Jessica: “I’m pregnant. I’ve never been with any man but you.” Jamie looked horrified. His looks said it all. He tried to deny any involvement by saying, “I-it couldn’t be mine. Maybe you had s*x with another man, and you’re trying to pin your pregnancy on me!” Jessica couldn’t believe that Jamie was accusing her of being a sl*t. She decided she didn’t have to argue with him. She could threaten her with something more definitive. Jessica: “That’s fine. You can deny all you want. I can always get a paternity test. If you refuse, I can get a court order to compel you.” Jessica was about to leave when Jamie went after him and said, “Wait.” He held him by her hand, which she shrugged off as she said, “What?” Jamie: “I’m sorry, okay? You’ve always said no whenever I ask. I couldn’t wait anymore.” When Jamie admitted to what he did, Jessica couldn’t help but cry and said, “You son of a b*tch! You r***d me!” Jamie: “What are you talking about? I didn’t r**e you! Boyfriends and girlfriends are supposed to have s*x, you know? All I did was take what I deserve!” Jessica: “You had s*x with me without my consent. You probably drugged me so I wouldn’t remember! You’ll pay for this!” She ran as fast as she could and had her driver take her home. She needs to talk to her parents. She wants to file a r**e case, Jamie, and she would need their help to do that.” As usual, Jessica’s parents aren’t home. She had to wait until nighttime before they arrived. She was sitting on the couch, waiting for them in the living area. As soon as they arrived, Jessica stood up and said, “Mom, Dad, can I talk to you please?” Jessica’s mom looked annoyed and said, “We’re tired, honey. Can we do it tomorrow?” Jessica: “I’m pregnant.” Jessica’s parents have mostly been absent whenever she needed them and were only around when she was about to get a medal or award for her achievements. She figured they wouldn’t want to talk to her unless it’s regarding something as dire as a pregnancy, so she just blurted it out to get their attention. Dad: “What did you say?” Jessica: “I said I’m pregnant. I haven’t been feeling well, so I went to the doctor and got checked. I found out I was pregnant.” Jessica’s mom started sobbing while her dad looked furious as he said, “Who did this? Who’s the father?” Jessica: “It was Jamie. But I didn’t consent to it. He r***d me, dad. He drugged me on prom night and had s*x with me. I couldn’t remember what happened when I woke up the next day, so I didn’t say anything at the time.” Jessica’s dad picked up a vase and threw it against a wall. Her mom screamed and said, “Stop it! That was vintage! Do you know how much that vase costs?” Dad: “I don’t care. Didn’t you hear what our daughter said? That assh*le Jamie r***d her, and he got her pregnant. You don’t expect me to just be calm about it, do you?” By now, Jessica is also crying. She felt a little pleased by her dad’s reaction. She hoped that this would mean that she’d help her get justice for what Jamie did to her. Jessica: “Dad, I want Jamie to pay for what he did to me. I want to file a r**e case against him.” Jessica’s dad walked towards her and gave her a hug. She was surprised because her parents have never been expressive, and this is the first time that either of her parents has shown any physical affection towards her. Maybe she is how she is because she never really felt loved, and she doesn’t know how to show affection either. Jessica went to bed a little content that night as her parents told her they’d talk about it and come up with the best solution for her. When Jessica went to school the next day, everyone already knew about her pregnancy. She found out that it was Kendra who spread it around. She must have heard it when Jessica told Jamie. Jamie was not at school, so all attention was on here. For the first time, Jessica felt like an outcast. No one wanted to talk to her, and they couldn’t stop talking about her and even calling her names even if she could hear them. Jessica couldn’t handle it, and she went home earlier than she was supposed to. Jessica’s parents were waiting for her when she got home and asked to speak to her. She thought that they would talk about how she could file the case against Jamie. Instead, they told her that they had talked to Jamie’s parents, and they had agreed to terminate her pregnancy. They reasoned that she was too young and still had a bright future ahead of her. They didn’t want it to get destroyed by having a baby. Jessica stood up and said, “No! I’m not getting rid of my baby. It’s a human life we’re talking about here. It’s your grandchild you’re talking about killing.” Mom: “It’s barely a child. You’re on the early stage of your pregnancy, so you only need to take a drug, and it’s gone.” Jessica: “No! I’m not doing it!” Jessica then looked at her Dad and said, “Dad, please, help me. What about Jamie? He r***d me. You’re not going to let him just get away with it, will you?” Dad: “I’m sorry, Jessica. We can’t afford a scandal like this nowadays. The company’s stocks are quite volatile.” Jessica: “What? You’re more worried about your company than your own daughter?” Mom: “Don’t be overdramatic. You’re the one who got pregnant. Don’t blame us for it.” Jessica: “Weren’t you listening to me? I got r***d! I never wanted to have s*x with Jamie, so he drugged me. How is it my fault?” Her dad stood up and said, “We’ve made our decision. You are to terminate your pregnancy as soon as possible. If you insist on keeping it, don’t expect any help from us. We’re cutting you off.” Jessica couldn’t stop crying as she went to bed that night. She did not doubt that her parents would force her to terminate her pregnancy despite her refusal. That night, Jessica decided to run away from home and take care of herself and her baby on her own.
