When they reached their room Paula opened the door with her room card. As soon as they stepped inside Zara collapsed on the floor crying hard.
Paula got scared to see Zara and hugged her to her chest trying to console her.
"What happened Zara? Talk to me. Did he do anything?"
Paula rubbed Zara's back and asked her in concern. Zara didn't answer her but wailed loudly shaking her head.
"I am a bad person. I betrayed my family, I am a bad person Paula. How can I face my dad? I am scared. Please tell me, what should I do?"
Zara cried hard covering her face with her hands. Paula saw red marks on Zara's wrists and hickeys on her neck. She fumed with anger and held Zara's shoulders.
"Did he force you Zara?"
Zara shook her head wiping her tears. She didn't want to make a scene now. Paula will definitely fight with Sebastian if she knew what happened to her. She didn't want to talk to him or see him. All she wanted was to leave this place.
"Then what are these?"
Paula shouted pointing at her wrists. Zara lowered her head remembering her shameless act.
"He didn't force you. Ok fine, then tell me, did you do it willingly"
Paula asked sternly. Zara never lied to Paula and she stayed silent when she didn't want to lie. Sensing her silence Paula scoffed
"Why are you defending him Zara? I know why you remained silent enduring his assault. Why do you care about his career than yours"
"I love him Paula. I just hate myself for being vulnerable. I don't want to be here. Let's go back. I can't do this"
Zara pleaded hugging Paula and cried again. She really wanted to leave this place. She didn't want to see him again. Not in this life time.
"Calm down baby, I will take care of everything. Come on, go to bed"
Paula helped Zara to her bed and patted her till she slept crying. Paula saw Zara's bruises and cracked lips. She fisted her palms trying her best not to fight with Sebastian.
He knew her weakness that doesn't mean he should take advantage of her situation. Of course no one wants to get caught when they were having sex and Zara is embarrassed to shout as she didn't want anyone see them doing that.
She caressed Zara's hair and sighed heavily. She always wanted the best for Zara. How did her friend got entangled with Sebastian? She kissed her forehead and wanted to sleep but she heard the knock.
Paula made sure Zara is sleeping and went to open the door to see the culprit who caused her friend to break down.
When Paula left the chamber Sebastian sat beside Simon deep in thoughts. He didn't want to hurt Zara but her rejection added fuel to his anger.
He ran his fingers through his hair frustrated and spotted Zara's bag on the sofa. He took it and opened to see her belongings. He chuckled when he saw a cute hairband. Did she like hairbands? If so, he is willing to buy her a lot.
After going through her things he found her mobile. She locked her phone with a four digit pin. He thought for a second and typed his birth date.
The phone unlocked revealing her beautiful smiling picture as Screensaver. He wanted to explore more but he knew she would hate it if he did that without her consent. After five minutes he stood up with her bag
"Simon, wait for me. I have to give this to her" with that Sebastian headed to Zara's room.
When Paula saw Sebastian standing at their doorstep. She wants nothing but to kick his balls for hurting her baby.
"What do you want ASSHOLE?"
She didn't care about her harsh tone. Even if he's president of the country she wouldn't be nice to him if he hurts her baby.
"Whoa! That's harsh. I am here to give this"
Sebastian waved the handbag in the air. Paula took it and wanted to slam the door but Sebastian stopped her.
"What is it?" shouted Paula but soon closed her mouth checking Zara.
"Is she alright?"
Sebastian asked her guiltily. He is feeling bad for being rough with her. He really lost his temper when she told him to leave her and for the past two years there is not a day he spent without thinking about their intimacy, when he saw her gorgeous body he couldn't control his lust.
Paula stepped outside closing the door furiously.
"The nerve of you to mention that"
"I know I made her sad but I really want to be with her. I am ready to share her worries" pleaded Sebastian.
Paula's expression softened a little after hearing his confession.
"It's not easy and if you really care about her don't ever disturb her life" with that Paula went inside locking the door.
Sebastian returned to his room dispirited. Simon consoled him and told about his conversation with Paula.
"Does that mean she is afraid of her father?"
Sebastian furrowed his eyebrows. Why is she scared of her dad? But then he saw a photograph of her with her family in her handbag. She hugged her dad and kissed his cheek with her bright smile.
"I think so"
"Can't she tell me that? Does she think I would ask her to abandon her family for me. Bullshit!! Why is it so hard for her to open up to me? I am willing to stand with her in front of her family"
Sebastian scolded Zara angrily. He's willing to convince her family for her.
"Calm down dude. Talk to her and try to be nice. I suggest you to keep your hands to yourself when you are with her"
Simon winked at him mischievously.
"What do you mean?"
"I know what you did earlier"
"Is it that obvious?"
Sebastian asked checking his face in the mirror
Simon nodded his head and pointed at his neck. Sebastian saw a bite mark which is evident to let people know he had a great time.
He smiled caressing the love bite and remembered how he got it. Zara is very sensitive when it comes to intimacy. She is too responsive to his touch. When he pounded her roughly Zara couldn't take the stimulation so she bit him to stop her moans.
"Enough!!! I am not here to endure your fucking romance with her. Zara is hard to persuade so, try to talk sensibly. Don't scare her with your desires"
Simon rolled his eyes at his friend who's engrossed in his thoughts. Sebastian cleared his throat covering his hickey and nodded his head.
