Zarah with Mr. Peters

Zarah was indoors almost all day, when Mr. Peters learnt about all that had happened in his absence, he decided to go talk to Zarah himself.

"Zarah!! Zarah!!!" He called out from the other side of the door.

"Daddy..." She replied.

"Yes dear, open the door, it's me." He said.

Zarah reluctantly went to open the door. When she opened it Mr. Peters came and she locked it again.

"What's the matter?" He asked.

"I'm good"

"You're good? Come on, I already heard all that happened from the security men." He said.

"You can imagine that, even the security men are talking about it." She said as she started to sob again.

"Stop crying baby girl." He said as he rubbed her back gently.

"Kalz doesn't regard me at all, he doesn't respect me a bit." She complained.

"It's alright, I'll talk to Kalz, I don't want you both to quarrel over such a flimsy thing, it might ruin my relationship with your father and family." He said.

"Your relationship with my family?" She questioned. Mr. Peters stared at her thinking if he had said something wrong because of the way her voice sounded.

"No one is even thinking of me, all you actually want is to straighten your business with my family nothing more, you're only interested in my family's pharmaceutical company and that's why you want me to marry Kalz, that's all." She said.

"Come on Zarah, that's never it, don't think that way. I just want you to make up with Kalz and he loves you and you know it." He said as he massaged her shoulder.

"I feel he doesn't, he keeps hurting me." She explained. "My heart eches." She said touching her chest with her left hand.

He used his right hand to support her left hand on her chest as he continued to massage her with his left hand while they sat side by side on the bed.

"I know it hurts, you can share it all with me." He said with a deep voice.

"What?" She asked as she gazed into his face.

He gently let his lips meet her's as he kissed her softly.

"What's going on?" She thought, "this is my future father in-law and this??"

She wanted to stop him but the way his fingers ran through her body and made her feel was so good that she lost the will to stop him, she reciprocated what he was doing to her.

And gently he got her into the bed.

Banni got tired of staying home alone so she decided to get another job since she lost the previous one. The next morning Banni left for her job hunting.

"Is this not the lady who was rumoured to be raped by that rich man's son." A lady said to her friend sitting next to her as lowly as she could voice out while Banni walked in.

"Yeah, what's his name again?" The friend replied trying to remember the name they saw in the news.

"The Luna hotels and hospital, yeah, his first son." She said.

"Yeah, that's true. I heard they took her in to cover everything," the first lady said.

"She accepted, why not, money is power." The friend replied.

"She's so shameless."

Banni pretended not to hear them as she walked in gently and sat at the other edge of the long seat.
