My love goes out to New York USA on this anniversary of a great tragedy.
*****
I walked out of the air conditioned office the heat and humidity that is New York on this crazy day. Who would have thought when I got up this morning I was going to finalise the biggest deal that the law firm of Wilds Hampshire and Carver had ever known and the commission alone would guarantee me a partnership and my name along with the greats of this law firm.
I had to ring my brother to let him know, no I had to get the papers back to be notarised I didnโt know what I was doing a 25 year old corporate lawyer new in the big city how lucky can one girl get?
Just as the high was hitting me, my mobile rang and brought me back to earth with a bang it was Donald Wilds the CEO of our firm. The phone crackled for some reason and then I heard his mild voice saying. โWell done I knew you could do it, how do you feel about being on the front cover of โInciteโ when it hits the stands on Monday.โ
My jaw fell to the floor Incite the leading publication in the corporate world and me on the cover I could not believe it. Then I remembered who was on the phone and listened intensely to the instructions that Mr Wilds was giving me. โGet a coffee and calm down then bring the papers back to the office. The Gant layers are waiting for you but it wont hurt them to wait half an hour after all the messing around they did putting the deal down, I will expect you back at the office at 4:30 OK not before.โ I was about to say yes but my phone went dead.
As I walked along the street I did some window shopping then saw this Armani suite in a window and walked in and asked about it I had to have it, I was on top of the world as if I could walk on water. The assistant should me a selection of suits and I picked out the one I liked and tried it on I loved it I told the assistant I would take it and she said. โI think it just needs a few alterations.โ
I replied, โNo I will take it as it is.โ The assistant tried to protest but I told her to rap my other clothes. And charge it handing over my company credit card the only one that the $2000 would not max out and the lady took it and walked over to the changing room and collected the pile of clothes and placed them neatly in a company bag then ran my card through her till and I walked out of the shop feeling like a new woman.
It felt like heads were turning as I walked down the street but I paid no attention to this thinking it was just my imagination. I looked in a few more shops as I continued my walk back to the our offices as I turned the corner I herd a voice call my name out of the crowd I turned to see were it came from and every thing went black the only thing that I remember was something being pushed into my back and then a jolt as thou I had been grabbed a high tension lead on a car engine, the next thing I remember was coming around and I was tide a radiator in what would appear to be a seedy hotel. I tried to shout for help but I found my mouth had some tape over it.
Then I heard the voice it chilled me to the bone it I recognised it but I could not remember from were โSo how was your day then, you were not expecting this I bet?โ I was confused what was happening to me nothing seem to make any sense. For the next 10 or 20 minutes his voice taunted me suggesting all manor of thing he would do to me, and all the time he repeated it was for my pleasure.
I had not seen my attacker up to this point but as I looked around the room he was there sat on the other room sat in an arm chair I could tell he was a large man but due to the shadows I could not make out his face, but as he stood up I instantly recognised him he was one of the bouncers from Arches Club the one that I was at last Saturday then it all began to make sense. What Cleo had said to me about her birthday fantasy and how good it was to feel this monster of a man rape her and force her to do things that she would never normally do. And it was then I realised that this was the rape I had paid for, how could I stop it I had to tell him that it could not happen today I looked at him as he took a step across the room and paw at my new suit.
I was horrified when he produced a hunting knife and drew the back of it lightly across my neck so I could feel the cold of the blade on my skin and I thought I was going to die, he then used the knife to cut the buttons away on my top and then ran it up the sleeves lastly puling the now rags from my body leaving just my bra intact. The feelings that were pulsing through me were a mixture of fear and lust here I was with a man I had never met, he had the power of life and death over me, and I had paid for the pleasure. โLook this canโt happen, not today please not to day!โ
