Trigger Warning: Sexual Abuse
I found myself standing in the middle of the hotel room, with Philip's back facing me. We stood there in silence. None of us bothered to talk. I don't even know what to say at this point. He still seemed to be in a bad mood and I don't want to deal with that right now.
I mean, what am I supposed to say? Do I need to explain myself to him? Why? He doesn't seem to care for me in the first place so why should I bother?
"Who is he?" Finally, she cut off the ear-piercing silence that surrounded us. I opened my mouth to explain to him what really happened but I can’t seem to form any words. It felt like I lost the ability to think of what to say. What is wrong with me?
"Tell me, Jessica, how long have you known each other? How close have you two become for you to let him kiss you? Answer me!" He shouted and I nearly jumped because I was shocked. How long have we known each other? 'We just met three hours ago,' I answered in my mind.
"Philip," That's just what I managed to say. He just looked at me. His face seemed dark, and he looked like she could pop a vein anytime.
"Tell me, Jessica Amelia, did he sleep with you already? Huh?!" He asked and I was really surprised by this time. Is that how he sees me? A girl who sleeps with anyone she meets? How dare he!
"If I answer you 'yes', what will you do? What can you do?" I won't show him how intimidated I am of him. I'll show him that I can keep up to his level and that I won't just give up and give into what he wants. I have to fight back.
His face darkened even more, if that was even possible and his jaw clenched. Even if I'm really frightened by him right now, I won't let him see it. I returned that dark and cold stare he's giving me.
"Dammit!" His voice echoed around the room, followed by the sound of the wall that met his fist. It caused me to close my eyes, to say that I was terrified was an understatement. He tried resisting the pain that I know he got after punching the wall but I can see blood dripping down his knuckles that says differently. He made his way over to me and held me by my arm, tight. I tried to remove his hold from me but it was no use since he's much stronger than me.
"Philip, let go of me. You're hurting me."
"I told you that you are mine. And I don't share what's mine." He said in a cold yet firm tone.
“I am not for you or anyone else to own!” I said and still tried my best to get away from him but he only gripped my arm tighter. “I am not your property!"
"You're my wife now. And that means I own you. You’re my property.” He said, a devilish smirk evident on his lips. “Everything that you had was mine. Even your body." And he pushed me down on the couch. What is he planning to do to me? Philip then started to unbuckle his belt. 'No, Lord, please.' I mentally pleaded in my mind since I had a feeling of what might happen next.
"You're mine..." He said before pressing his lips on mine roughly. His kisses were rough, unlike the last time. Looks like he's punishing me for what I did. And I can’t help but think of the worst thing that could happen to me.
"Philip, no, please." I pleaded when he started kissing my neck. I felt him suck on it and I had to stop myself from moaning since I don't want him to get the satisfaction he wants. I still tried to get out of his grasp but I can't. He’s really strong.
"Have mercy on me, please." I can feel the tears streaming down my face. He quickly tore the shirt I was wearing in half. I still tried to fight back but because of how strong he is and how weak I'm getting; I couldn't push him away. He held my arms up to my head and pinned them there as his lips traveled down the valley of my breasts.
What am I going to do? I'm really afraid of him.
"Don't do this, please..." I pleaded again. But he doesn't seem to hear me as his lips continued to travel down my stomach. My body's shaking. I'm terrified of what might happen next.
He really is the devil.
I'm hurt physically and mentally. I didn't fight back anymore. I just let him do what he wanted but I still tried to beg for him to stop but he won't listen.
"You're mine," His voice was raspy and deep. He started to remove the pants he's wearing. Now, this is my chance to push him away. But when I tried, I couldn't do it. I can't feel my body anymore. I lost all my strength. 'Why now?' I asked myself.
"Why Philip?" I sobbed. 'Why are you doing this to me? What have I done?' Those were the things I wanted to say.
But instead, I said, "I hate you..."
He stopped undoing his pants and he slowly looked up to meet my eyes. Anger was still visible in his eyes. Again, tears started to fall from my eyes and his expression changed after seeing them fall. He seemed like he just got back to his old self.
"I hate you, Philip Edwards," I said sharply. I looked straight into his eyes. "You're a devil."
"I didn't---damn it..." He closed his eyes tightly as he tried to pull his hair out of frustration. I have to admit, this is the very first time that I saw him like this. Maybe if the situation was normal, I'd probably smile because of how he's acting. But right now, the situation wasn't normal. Far from it actually. I'm was mad at him and the feeling grew onto something more than that.
He stood up and I quickly inched myself at the couch, hugging my body. I sobbed; this is all too much. "Don't cry please," He said as she slowly crouched down to be level with me. "Jessica," The way he said my name seemed like it was full of care and compassion.
He moved closer and enveloped me in a hug. "Shhh, stop crying..." His voice turned soft and calm, much like the voice of an angel; it was soothing. I slowly looked up and saw him looking straight back at me.
This Philip was different from the person I was with a few minutes ago. We've been married for a year and I thought that I knew everything about him, but no. I don't even know who he really is. Who are you, Philip?
"I'm sorry..." That's what I last heard before I lost consciousness.
Jessica woke up because of the loud banging sound coming from the door. Even if everything feels so heavy, she got up and opened the door. And walking a few steps away from the bed, she realized that she isn't in her room. She's inside their room.She also noticed that the clothes she wore last night were different from the clothes she's wearing right now. She remembered Philip ripping her shirt last night and she thought that maybe this over large shirt she's wearing right now was Philip's.Thinking about Philip made her remember what happened earlier that day. She sighed an
"Where are we?" Jessica asked her husband as she scanned the place."Just follow me." He said and walked inside the huge building where Samuel had dropped them off and didn't dare wait for the brunette. Seeing the lad walk towards the entrance, Jessica followed in pursuit. But as she was about to enter the building, two guards blocked her way."Excuse me, Ma'am, may I see your ID?" The guard who has taper fade hairstyle said."Oh, I don't have

The meeting lasted for about an hour and a half. There had been some slight problem with one of Philip's branches and they had to fix it right away so the meeting lasted longer than it should.As the lad entered her room, she was met by her wife who was peacefully sleeping on the couch. She slowly made her way over to the brunette and felt a little furious at her since she n
When they arrived back at their house, the both of them parted ways right away. Jessica went upstairs and Philip went to his bar.The brunette sat on her bed and remembered all that happened today. She couldn't help but sigh as she remembered the times where the lad would roll his eyes at her or answer her irritated. She didn't know what she had done wrong to her husband for him to treat her this way.Soon, she decided to change her clothes. She removed the top she was wearing and replaced it with a plain red t-shirt, the shirt she wore when Philip took her away from her Mother. Sh
"Aww!" Jessica whined. The moment she sat up on the bed, she felt the pain all over her body. And when she was about to stand up, she felt a different kind of pain in the middle part of her body. And that's when she realized the reason behind all the pain in her body."Shit! That wasn't a dream?!" She said, blushing. And her realization was proven correct when she saw a bloodstain on the bedsheet.She thought that all that happened last night was just a dream because she didn't saw Philip beside her when she woke up. But she had come to the realization that all that happened last n
A week had passed and Philip was as busy at work as ever. He's been having a lot of trips these past few days since he has to visit some of his branches outside the States for some of them faced a little problem. When it comes to his company, he was very hands-on since he didn't want the other companies to get the deals that big companies are offering him."You can handle everything, right? I have to go now." Philip told Elijah as he grabbed his suitcase and made their way towards the exit of the airport."Yeah, I'll work on everything." He assured the lad.
Philip was currently inside his study when he heard his cell phone ring. He quickly answered it, knowing that there's only one person that will call him at this time of the day."Colin...""I have some information about her." Philip's features became serious when he heard what his blonde-haired friend told him on the other line. "You were right. She was the lost daughter of him.His heiress.""What else?""As of now, that's all that I got. The reason why she got lost and about the contract and other papers, I still don't know.""I want you to investigate further. Just call me again in case of any improvement." He replied."I will." He said. "Oh, and by the way, Elijah called me last night. He told me to tell you that you have to attend one of your investors' party tonight. And that you should bring your wife." He added."Why didn't he call me himself last night then?""He told me that he couldn't reach yo
