Chapter 16

Well, you also have to promise not to tell anyone for i have never told a soul about this. Not even Al knows the story of how i met Ian.

Sure i won't, i mean who do i have to tell, i only have you and Ian in my life.

Well, eight years ago i was kidnapped.

What!?

My kidnappers were not like normal kidnappers for they did not call my family to ask for money or beat me up.

What they did however, was rape me. About six of them, they raped me daily.

Xavier, i gasped reaching out to touch his hand as he continued his story.

They injected me with drugs and gave me aphrodisiac.

They fucked me sometimes five times a day, they all will have a go at me.

A week into my abduction another group came to the place i was being held.

They had kidnapped Ian.

Ian was bloodied and unconcious when they brought him.

During one of my raping sessions i was screaming and begging them to stop, when Ian woke up.

He saw everything that happened though weak and battered with one of his eyes closed from the beating.

After they left both of us in the room, he crawled to me and helped me put on my clothes. He consoled me and told me everything was going to be alright.

Now, normally everyone i know and loved has been shunning me due to my sexual preference.

Now imagine a stranger i don't know, who just witnessed six men fucking me, holding me as if i was a treasure as i broke down in his arms. He kept assuring me that everything will be fine.

The next day when they came for their usual sex, Ian single handedly in his horrid state beat six of them till they became unconcious.

He broke me out of the room using the key he got from one of them after using one of their phone to call for backup. On our way out, we were discovered and one of the guards there brought out a gun and shot at Ian. Seeing that, i jumped in front of the gun and was shot instead of Ian although Ian saw what was to happen and was quick to send a bottle flying the guy's way.

Due to Ian's fast thinking and reflex the bullet grazed me instead of hitting a major organ.

Ian's boys rescued us and Ian sent me to the hospital to be taking care of.

I was there for three months, Ian paid for my treatment and visited me everyday.

He was my big brother, he is my big brother.

After i was discharged i went home only to find out that my family has disowned me for being gay. They didn't even bother to ask me where i was or what happened to me they didn't even look for me.

At the same time i also found out that the guy i was dating then, was the one who told his friends how nice i was in bed and those friends decided to have a taste and they were the ones who kidnapped and raped me.

I lost it, i went mad.

I started partying and doing drugs with the little money i have left in my account.

I just wanted to forget about my existence.

What about Al, you once told me you've been friends since you were little.

Al was not around.

His parents sent him abroad to study. Besides i had a crush on him then, i thought finding someone else to be in love with will help me forget that i am in love with my bestfriend.

Anyway one day Ian found me in one of the clubs, after having sex with a stranger i couldn't even remember.

He took me to the hospital again, and have me cleansed and checked after which he sent me abroad to finish schooling.

He paid for my tuition and my housing. He sent me money every week till i graduated two years later.

I've always loved designing and my work speak for itself. Before graduating i've already made a name for myself.

So after i graduated he was the one that gave me the first money i invested in my business. In fact the land X headquarters is built on is a graduation gift from him.

A year later X started generating millions and i tried paying him back. However no matter the means i tried to pay him, he kept refusing the money so i decided to help him in his company and work for him. That was the period i actually found you.

Since then we've been really close as you can see, though he is a year older than me, to me he will always be my big brother.

Wow! i said with tears streaming down both our faces.

Who would have thought you went through all that. I mean you are so bright and funny and cheerful.

Yes that's because Ian made sure of that.

Now i understand the bond you both have, it is such a precious one.

And i'm sorry for all that you went through, i mean here i am thinking Dylan put me through hell. Hearing your story i'm actually grateful because i don't think i would have recovered from what you experienced.

Do you know that Ian once told me that no one can ever fault you for anything because you are too nice?

Really?

Yes he did, and i agreed with him.

He saw you for who you really are and believed.

The same he did with me.

And i'm glad you proved him right Xavier. I'm glad you went ahead and became a success story.

Me too Vee, me too.

I also pray i don't let you both down.

Oh you won't, you are already sensational and you haven't even started acting.

Trust me baby girl they won't know what hit em.

So now that we've sorted out our emotions and are in a better place, what's the next step?

Like i told you, i've already arranged for an ad shoot for you. That's the next thing we have to do so from now till then, the public shouldn't see you.

I want them to search and beg for you and your story.

This comeback will go down in history.

Take it easy Zee it's not a war.

Oh i've been taking it easy until i found out that scumbag Dylan, has been the one behind you abandoning your once thriving career not to mention that he is also a rival.

He has deceived most of our artist and brought them to his side.

Vee this is not just about you coming back to the industry, this is about us taking back what's ours.

I know Zee and trust me i'm in, whatever the plan is i'm in.

I'm glad you are back Vee.

Me too Zee, me too.
