Chapter Seventeen

One hour earlier...

Today is your first anniversary with Richard. He doesn't deserve it, but you were dolling up in your bedroom like you were gonna have a date with your prince Draco.

You were wearing a long sleeve burgundy top, a white mini skirt and a pair of white high heeled sandals. Your hair was straightened, you were only wearing mascara to enlarge your eyelashes and make your eyes look bigger, and a burgundy lipstick. You looked so pretty.

I repeat. He doesn't deserve it, but you had to make him think he does.

Richard arrived to your house to pick you up. He brought you a large heart shaped chocolate box and was dressed up unusually fancy.

He was wearing a pair of black pants, a black shirt and a navy blue jacket. You were so confused.

This is the beautiful outfit you were wearing:

When Richard saw you, his jaw literally dropped:

—Wow! You look beautiful!

—Thanks. Uhm... You look so fancy, Richard.

—A special date deserves some special clothing, doesn't it? —He scanned you up and down like he was mentally stripping you. He made you feel so uncomfortable.

—Of course.

—So, aren't you gonna give me a kiss?

—Uhm... sure.

You brought your mouth to his and he kissed you deeply as he wrapped his arms around your waist. You saw that coming but it didn't stop being disgusting. You wrapped your hands around his neck and kissed him back to play along. You had no choice. You had to make this believable, so you just closed your eyes and thought on Draco.

—Hmm... That kiss was delicious! Have you been practicing?

—What? —You panicked, but tried your best for him not to notice it—. But what are you saying, Richard?

—Just kidding —he caressed your cheek.

—Oh. I'm sorry. —He shook his head.

—Your kisses are always delicious —he tucked your hair behind your ear—. Happy anniversary, (Y/N).

—Happy anniversary, Richard.

—Let's go.

Richard entwined his hand with yours and led you to his car. He even opened the door for you. This was so confusing.

—Where are we going, Richard?

—I was thinking that we could do something very special today, (Y/N). I want you to know my new apartment.

—Did you move?

—I didn't tell you before because I wanted it to be a surprise.

—Of course it is. —He smiled and you smiled back at him.

Richard had been living in a rented room of a shared apartment with three roommates. But it seems like he saved enough money to rent a whole apartment for himself.

—Welcome. Make yourself at home —he said when he opened the apartment door and invited you to enter.

It was a small apartment, clean and tidy, although it needed a feminine touch.

—Do you want wine? Let's toast.

—Uhm... sure.

Richard poured two cups of red wine and handed one to you.

—For us —he raised his cup.

—For us —you raised your cup.

Richard and you toasted and you took a sip of your wine, but he drank it all in a single sip. Both of you sat on the couch in the living room and put your cups on the table. He took off his jacket and you felt so uncomfortable.

—What's wrong, (Y/N)?

—Nothing... It's just... I had never been alone with a boy in his apartment before.

—Don't be afraid —he tucked your hair behind your ear—. Just relax.

He leaned in and kissed you softly, pushing you slowly with his body, trying to lay you on the couch. But you pushed him gently, breaking the kiss.

—No! What are you doing, Richard?

—Hey, we've been dating for a year and... we've never had sex.

—What?

—I know that I'm your first boyfriend and this is new for you, but...

—That's why you brought me here, didn't you?! It's the reason of your affectionate behaviour all this time! You just wanted to have sex with me! —You exclaimed upset.

—Hey, a man has needs.

He quickly brought his mouth to yours and kissed you deeply, pushing you with strength and forcing you to lay on the couch. You tried to scream but his mouth drowned all your attempts.

His legs spread yours and he laid between your legs as he slided his hands underneath your skirt. But you pushed him with all your strengths.

—Stop it, Richard! I don't want to!

He fell down to the floor and hit the table. And that hit made the cups fall down and the wine spilled on the rug. His face turned red in anger, perhaps because of the stain on the rug, perhaps because of your reaction, or perhaps both.

—I'd better go —you stood up, willing to leave, but he grabbed your wrist.

—You're not going anywhere!

Richard dragged you out by force towards his bedroom, squeezing your wrist with strength.

—Let me go, Richard! You're hurting me! —You pulled your arm with all your strengths and managed to free your wrist—. It's over, Richard! I'm breaking up with you!

Richard slapped you with all his strengths, making you scream in pain and fall down to the floor.

—YOU'RE NOT THE ONE WHO'S GONNA FUCKING DECIDE THAT! —He yelled in anger.

You put your hand on your cheek as tears of pain and anger started filling your eyes. But adrenalin started flooding your system and your survival instinct activated.

—I'm not scared of you anymore, Richard.

—What did you say?

—I'M NOT SCARED OF YOU ANYMORE, RICHARD! —You yelled in anger.

You quickly stood up and, with superhuman strength, you managed to tackle him. But he is stronger than you and grabbed your wrists. He rolled his body on top of yours and, dragging you out again, he pushed you against the wall and pinned you there, making you gasp when you hit the back of your head, but you didn't feel the pain because of the adrenalin.

—WHAT WERE YOU FUCKING TRYING TO PROVE, HUH?

—Let me go! Or...

—Or what?! What are you gonna do, (Y/N)?! Scream?!

You frowned and spat on his face, making him turn his head.

—This only makes things worse, you know?

—FUCK YOU, RICHARD! I got tired of you and your mistreatment! I'd rather die than have sex with you! If you wanna kill me, do it fast! Don't make me suffer!

—What? —He asked confused and surprised by your determination at the same time.

You kneed him between his legs with all your strengths, hoping to send his nuts to his throat. He groaned in pain and fell down to the floor with his hands on his groin, so you ran away as fast as you could.

—COME BACK HERE, YOU FUCKING BITCH!

You were wearing heels but you couldn't care less. You ran for your life. You ran to your freedom.

You got to the park and broke down into tears on the bench where you met Draco, and there was where he found you...

Draco notices that you also have bruises on your wrists and legs.

—Did he do this to you, love? —You nod.

—I broke up with him, Dray. The nightmare is over.

You break down into tears and Draco wraps you in a hug. You tell him what happened and his heart breaks. He cups your face gently with his hands and kisses you sweetly. He wipes your tears away tenderly with his kisses, promising you that Richard won't get away with it, and suddenly...

—THAT'S HOW I WANTED TO FIND YOU! —A male voice yells in anger from the distance.

Draco and you gasp and give a little jump. It seems like the nightmare isn't over yet.

—Richard...
