Chapter 29 The next morning … Hilda woke up feeling dizzy and weak , and her mind was fuzzy . Ugh ! My head ! What happened ? She said , as she tried standing up from her bed . She suddenly remembered what had transpired the night before . She said silently to herself . She raised up the blanket that had covered her body , and saw her naked self . She felt sore between her legs , and couldnt move them . How could he do this to me ? She muttered to herself . She remembered how she pleaded for him to stop , but he continued , having his way roughly with her . The bed was stained with her blood , and a sudden realization dawned on her . He deflowered me ! He took my virginity ! She cried out . She sobbed silently , and mustered up some little strength . She stood from her bed finally , and leaped to the shower . As the drops from the shower tickled her skin , she allowed the tears to flow freely from her eyes . The hot water cascading down her body provided her with some comfort , temporarily numbing the ache within her . She scrubbed her skin vigorously , desperately trying to wash away not only physical , but also emotional remnants of the previous night . Her tears mingled with the water , disappearing down the drain as if they were never shed . After what felt like an eternity under the shower , Hilda wrapped herself in a towel and made her way to her closet . She chose an outfit that would help her regain some semblance of control over her life . She was lowly , and needed some support , someone to talk to . She picked up her phone and searched for Jacquelines contact . She hesitated , before dialling her number . It rang tirelessly , till Jacqueline answered . Yes ? What do you want ? She asked , coldly . Im sorry Jack . I shouldnt have reacted that way . 14:27 25.7 % False Name , False Bride Chapter 29 Relax . Im just kidding . Dont sweat it . Ive forgiven you already . I understand why you reacted that way . Thank you . Hilda said weakly . Are you okay ? Jacqueline asked , noticing her sad voice . Yes , Im fine . Are you sure ? Its nothing . Hilda responded , attempting to mask her sudden grief . That doesnt sound like nothing . Yesterday , you were all happy and excited . Did something happen ? No , Jack . Hilda , are you lying to me ? Hilda began to sob uncontrollably . He- What happened ? Did Alexander hurt you ? What happened after I dropped you off !? He- Alex , he- He what !? He r * ped me . He did what !? Please , Jack , I beg you , dont do anything . Remember what happened the last time , please . You cant just let this go , Hilda . That man , hes a monster ! I have to keep enduring for the sake of my family . My Dad dreads the idea of bankruptcy , and living on the streets . Im coming over . No , Jack . I dont need any more drama . Im already drained . Drama ? Seriously ? He r * ped you , Hilda ! He took your virginity ! Hes my husband , Jack . 14:27 False Name , False Bride 25.9 % Chapter 29 I cant believe you ! Jack scoffed . So now , youre defending him !? Why exactly did you call ? I- I just needed a friend … Really ? A friend !? Jacqueline scoffed . Yes , Jack . I have to attend to my customers . I asked Amelia to take over my shift cus I had to take your call . Jack , wait . I- Jack ended the call before she could finish her sentence . Argh ! I hate my life! She said to herself . Maam , breakfast is ready . Kara said , coming in with a tray of food . Im not hungry . I figured you werent feeling good maam , so I decided to bring it up here . Sir Alexander has gone to the office . Im not hungry , Kara . Maam , I dont mean to pry , but- You always dont mean to pry these days , dont you think ? Im sorry maam . What did you want to say ? I hope he didnt hurt you , maam . You dont look so good . What do you think ? Hilda asked , giving her a sarcastic look . Im really sorry maam . Theres nothing to be sorry for . Besides , its not your fault . You should really eat something maam . I dont have the appetite . Ill just leave it here , maam . Kara said , dropping the tray on her large vanity . 14:27 False Name , False Bride 26.1 % Chapter 29 Take it away . Im not eating that . I can make something else for you , maam . Can you just leave !? Hilda yelled . But , maam , the food is really nice . Im- Get out and take that food with you ! Im sorry maam . Kara said , leaving abruptly . Hilda laid on her bed , and covered her face with a pillow . She sobbed uncontrollably into the pillow . She sobbed till she slept off . Later that day … Hilda ! Get up woman ! Alexander yelled barging into her room . She got up slowly , and turned to face him . Get dressed ! Were going out ! Where are we going ? She asked weakly . Wear a dress . Dont keep me waiting . He said , ignoring her question , and left slamming the door behind him . She stood up from her bed , and headed to the closet . She picked a nice long blue dress . She put it on . It had a slitted front , which enhanced the beauty of her pretty skin . This dress is perfect . She muttered to herself . She headed downstairs , and Alexander held her hand , leading her into one of his fancy limousines . I dont understand him . Why is he suddenly acting all nice ? Hes acting like nothing happened between us last night . He didnt even complain about my dress or didnt he see the slit ? I wonder whats going on in his mind . She thought . Open the door ! He yelled to one of his guards . Yes boss . 14:27 False Name , False Bride 26.2 % Chapter 29 The guard opened the door , and Hilda together with Alexander entered the limousine . Where sir ? The driver asked . Take us to the airport . The airport !?
