Saturday had come around and I meeting the girls for coffee, it was a cute little café that overlooked the Thames. When we had been studying, we would spend hours here just chatting instead of working. It had a nostalgic feel to the place, a 2nd home of sorts.It had been a long week, longer with all the mixed signals I felt I was getting from Jake. With the trial coming up I was having to do a lot of late nights with all the prep work for the case. As such today I had overslept therefore not having time to do my hair and makeup, I had chucked on a pair of dark indigo skinny jeans, white trainers and an oversized jumper to go with it. I had an old brown leather over the shoulder bag that I had had since forever.I was making my way there walking through the park, it was a nice sunny day with people walking their dog, jogging there was even a couple having a picnic. As I walked closer, I notice the couple were two people I hoped never to bump into again.Maybe they won’t see me, just k
Things had been going well, Jake was actually being nice which I wasn’t sure if this new change was better or not. I think I still had PTSD from his earlier behavior that I was feeling more confused than ever, constantly waiting for the shoe to drop.The weeks had just been going by in the blink of an eye I had been far too distracted from bumping into my ex to even be worried about anything else. I was finally allowed back at my desk to work rather than being in Jake’s office to which I was relieved. Having his watchful eye seeing everything I did and monitor every movement was distressing.There had also been a few moments between us that I still couldn’t work out. I must be crazy he had this insanely hot girlfriend who had stopped by one of the nights we had been working late. Tara Scots I’d learning she was a swimwear model or something. She had given me a cold glare when she saw that Jake was sitting next to me. He told her to wait for him at her apartment which she agreed to bef
I made it home from work my anxiety through the roof. But I reasoned to myself that everything was fine as until I handed over the documents that technically it wasn’t a crime, and I could take them back and shred them.I had removed them from my bra checking them over to make sure they were still legible, and any sweat hadn’t caused any damage. I had hoped once I had left work, the sweating would have stopped but honestly it just seemed to make things worse. I put them on the bed. I was going to change although I had no idea what you were supposed to wear to this type of thing.I decided on jeans and a jumper, I took a large bag so I could put the money in, I also put one of the documents in the bag and the other on my person if Carter didn’t think this would be sufficient then I wanted to have something up my sleeve to stop things from getting ugly.The pit in my stomach just seemed to be growing and the ever-increasing dread just grew as the seconds ticked by. Time seemed to move p
His hand never let go of my throat and I was struggling to breath I was going to black out any second and I willed myself to stay conscious. My jeans had dropped to my knees which made it difficult to move my legs. He was pulling his boxers down as his hard cock popped out, this was it.‘I’m going to enjoy this,’ he licked my face again, I felt sick I needed to get out of here, I used my hands to claw at him but that only made him smile more.‘I like a girl who’s feisty,’ he stated before biting my lip hard causing me to yelp. He gave me another slap across the face as he began tugging at my underwear. I could feel the tears prickling in my eyes threating to fall from my face. He ripped them from me causing the fabric to burn my skin and I let out an eye piercing scream before he chocked me so hard my vision darkened. I could feel the tip of his cock press up against me when.‘Hey, what’s going on!’ I heard a male voice shout causing joe to drop me to the ground like a bag of bricks.
I woke up not knowing what time, day or year it was. In all honesty I don’t think I actually slept just relieving the nightmare that was my life. My head was foggy and my whole body ached I was about to call work to say I wouldn’t be in today when I looked at my phone seeing that it said Saturday.Somewhat relieved I could just stay in bed all day. I closed my eyes once more trying to drift back off to sleep, I needed to sleep it would make everything feel 10x better. But try as I might I wasn’t happening. My throat still burned from his hands gripping me, I felt cheap and used. Then the tears would raise their ugly head once more.I got up needing some water, as I sipped it, I struggled to swallow my throat sore and painful as the cooling liquid went down my throat. I looked through the cupboard finding some paracetamol and ibuprofen decided to take a few of them to help numb the pain. Swallowing the pill was another matter it hurt like a bitch, and I felt as if I chocked on it as it
We were three days away from the actual trial, Lyla was coming in today to prepare the finally steps for the case, we also had jury selection coming up this would help us to give us an advantage or not depending on who was selected. Everyone has their preconceived biases or notions for situations and Jake felt that although we had a strong case nothing could be left to chance.We were in the boardroom with Lyla, Todd, Jake and Myself, having just gone through how the trial would work so Lyla was prepared. Jake was concerned there was something she hadn’t told us that could affect the case.‘Are you sure there isn’t anything else we need to know?’ Jake asks his steel gaze fixed on Lyla.‘No,’ she states before shuffling slightly in her seat, Jake presses his lips together before sighing.‘Lyla, we have gone through how this will all work but with a trail the opposition are not going to holdback, if there is something that we need to know in order to protect you and Aire. Case like thes
I stare up at Jake my mind reeling from our kiss, I’m still breathless as I struggle to catch my breath his seductive masculine scent confusing my senses. I notice he frowns before moving back from me, he releases my waist immediately I miss the loss of his touch. He swallows before turning and walking out of the kitchen without a backwards glance leaving me confused about what just happened.Doubt fills me, I feel used and all the reasons why I shouldn’t have let him kiss me flood my mind. He’s my boss I could get fired now, he has a girlfriend making me the other woman something I have never been. Having been the other end of this I feel incredibly guilty and ashamed for being used this way. Why did he kiss me? Sure, he hasn’t yelled at me for a while but that was just common decency not that he liked me.His behavior had been all over the place, but I decided whatever this was, was only going to end in trouble. I had a lot more to lose from this situation. I was not going to let Ja
I reread the message several times my heart thumping out my chest, why had I been so rash?Carter – Fine but I want your ace, I want everything you have on the case, every little detail. If Jake changes his course of attack, I want to know about it. If he gets another witness, a photograph anything I want to know about it! At the end of the trial, I want you to come with me to dinner before spending the night with me. No negotiation.What he said shocked me, it was impossible and unethical. How exactly was I supposed to get our entire case copied and sent out to him. Plus, the dinner and the fact, I would have to sleep with him repulsed me. I didn’t want to agree, every fiber of my being was screaming at me to refuse him.Carter – I’ll double the money if you agree now.£100k the things I could do with that money. There was an endless list of possibilities that I could do with that money. Actually, be able to breathe for once. But our entire case. I don’t exactly know how I would be a
