1. The day after my rape
That night it was hard for me to fall asleep. I couldn't stop thinking about the situation I was in, and I had to find a solution ... whatever it was! The only thing I could do if I didn't want to lose my husband and my friends was to please Raúl, hoping he would get bored with me. Finally, fatigue got the better of me and I fell asleep, only to have a nightmare.
At 9:00 in the morning, a message on my cell phone woke me up.
"How about it, whore? ... I hope you have rested. I guess that your ignorant husband did not realize that you came from fucking a real man!"
I was still drowsy, and did not know how to answer; but to avoid greater evils, I answered, "Yes, Raúl, I slept well. My husband has not discovered anything ..."
I waited for a while, but there were no more messages, so I went to the shower. Despite having showered the night before, I could not get rid of a continuous feeling of dirt.
Afterwards I had a coffee, since I was unable to eat anything, and I prepared to continue with my day to day routine with the fear that Raúl would call me at any moment.
To my surprise, that day I did not have any messages; in fact, two days passed in which I did not have any news from Raúl, which began to calm me. I began to think that he had regretted what he had done, and everything was going to stop, and be OK.
Unfortunately, I was very wrong. Thursday at noon I received a call from Raúl. Luckily at that time I was home alone, and had no problem answering.
"Hello ..." I said with a dry voice.
"Hello Zorra ..." I heard Raúl's voice say as my skin crawled. "I hope that when you answer your lord you will do it with more joy. Every time your lord addresses you is a privilege, and you should receive it as a gift!"
"Okay ..." I said trying to show an enthusiasm that I didn't feel.
"Better this way." said Raúl. "I see that you are learning ... I'm calling to tell you to prepare a bag with the things you need. Tomorrow morning at 9:00 you come with me. We are going to spend Friday to Sunday at my beach house."
I went white, and felt a knot in the pit of my stomach, which left me cold. I started to feel bad and had to sit on a chair and did not know what to say.
That exceeded everything I expected. I could leave one afternoon, like the other day without problem ... but a whole weekend? Raúl, the pig, was totally crazy if he thought I was going to go with him for three whole days ... impossible!
Such a long absence from home and Daniel ... I could not justify it with any silly excuse to my husband ... and even less so suddenly, without being able to prepare an alibi ... I could not fulfill what he asked of me.
How was he going to justify it to Daniel?
"Please ... I can't go all weekend! I can be with you like last time, but this is very different. I'm married, and I can't just leave without my husband noticing that something strange is happening! How do you expect I can go all weekend? What excuse can I give my husband? I can't just leave for three days! I exclaimed, though scared.
"Bitch!" he yelled angrily at me. "I already told you once that would be your problem when I claimed you ... So as a whore and unfaithful wife, you will come up with something to get rid of the cuckold!" he added without giving me any options or suggestions.
"This afternoon you will receive a package, so try to be attentive when the courier arrives, because he will deliver what I want you to change into before we leave ..."
"Tomorrow at 9:00 I want you ready for the weekend. As I already imagined that you do not have the type of dresses that I like, and in our previous meeting you arrived in jeans, the dress ... well, I give it to you. And I want to see you in it when you open the door. Underwear is forbidden, and don't forget to pack the two gifts I gave you the other afternoon ... You are going to need them! As for the rest, it is not necessary that you pack many clothes; you will not need much. I will provide you with the necessary ones, ha ha!"
I did not know what to say; I remained silent.
"Did you hear me bitch?" Raúl yelled again over the phone.
"Yes, yes, I heard you ..." I answered. "But I swear to God I don't know how to do it, Raul!"
"Well, you already know that this is your problem and not mine. How you solve it is up to you. I already warned you the first day while I was fucking you ..."
"Tomorrow at 9:00 am I will knock on your door, and I want you ready and ready to go. If you are not there, I will not wait a minute! I will simply report you and send your cuckold the photos that show that you are a whore ass and that you cheated on him by fucking me ... And you know it's not a bluff; I'll do it!" Raúl said. Without letting me answer, he hung up without saying more.
Not being able to argue with him, I left my mobile phone on the table and got up from the chair totally anguished, without even being able to swallow. I just collapsed on the couch and cried silently, completely dejected.
What kind of story could I make up? I had to think of something and urgently! I didn't expect him to demand that I go away with him for the whole weekend. I believed that keeping a furtive date like the previous one, he would be satisfied for a while!
After thinking about it a lot, I remembered that Daniel had told me that this weekend he was going to work every day, because on Monday they had to deliver a project to a client and they were late. This would give me some wiggle room, but I still needed an excuse to leave.
I immediately thought of my friend Sara ... I was hoping that she would provide me with the necessary alibi.
First, I called Sara. "Sara ... This is Alice, and I need a favor!"
I knew that I could count on her for a case like this, and that she would know how to keep my secret. So, I just told her that I absolutely had to be absent, but now I still couldn't tell her why ...
"Can you be my alibi Sara, so I can be away from home all weekend? I need you to tell Daniel, if he calls you, tell him that we are together and if he wants to talk to me, tell him that I have gone out for a walk on the beach, or whatever comes to mind, and that I will call him. Can you do me that great favor? You are the only one I can trust!"
Although she was surprised by my request, she told me, "Well of course Alice ... you know that ... But, I'm intrigued ... I wonder ... Is everything going well between Daniel and you? ... Or is it that you have a secret lover?" ... Because she was my friend above all, I hastened to clear her doubts.
"No Sara, everything is perfect with Daniel; we love each other very much ... calm down... ha ha, I misleadingly told her, "How do you think that I can have a lover!"
"Alice, I was only asking, dear; besides, a girl like you or me, with a husband at home, who is a bit boring, it would not be anything strange or objectionable, if you had a secret lover, ha ha! I like Daniel, but he is very boring for you, so the first thing that occurred to me, and for the record, I would not be against it, if there is someone else out there who will put you first ... You know my opinion though; that I separated from mine!"
"Hush ... hush, don't talk nonsense ... I'm fine the way I am ... I don't like trouble ... How are you Sara!"
Then she said goodbye, "Well, sweetie, have a good weekend and calm down! I have your back. Be good Alice, or not ... You know that I have also had my adventures since I separated ... Have fun... Kisses my dear! ... You will tell me whenever you want what this is about; or don't tell me ... But you know you can count on me ..."
After knowing that I could count on Sara, already a little calmer, although I was scared to be in the hands of that pig, I called my husband.
"Daniel?"
"Tell me honey; is something wrong?" he always answered me so kind and sweet.
"No darling, don't worry ... Sara just called me ... This weekend, she is going to go to a house that she has on the Costa Brava and, as you said, that you would be very involved with clients and work, she has asked me to accompany her. Let the two of us go together to look at that house. She hadn't been up to it for a long time; see how it is, tidy up the chalet a bit, and take the opportunity to be together! We'll sunbathe and gossip ... But I told her that you might mind, so I'd have to ask you first ..."
"Calm down my love ... It seems very good that you and Sara should leave together! You will have a good time ... She is your best friend; so for my part, if you really want to go, it seems a very good idea. Besides, it will be good for you to get out of the house a little, since with the trouble I have here, we could not go out together, darling. Don't worry, both of you go and have fun with your stuff and gossip!"
