Robbie’s POV

I must be so stupid to have raped Vanessa, i shouldn’t have done that to her, i don’t know what came over me at that time, i should have help her and not to complete Dave’s mission, now i know she’ll always think Dave was the one that raped her not knowing it me. I think i need to tell her the whole truth, i checked the time which was already eight in the morning i went down to the sitting room pacing up and down when i was surprise to see Dave.

“what happen to Vanessa yesterday? i asked while he seems shocked.

“stop pretending dude, did you ended up raping her? he asked me while i almost punch him.

“no Dave, when Vanessa left to restroom and you also followed, i never saw the both of you again, am just worried about her, what happeen between the both of you? i yelled at him.

“nothing! he yelled back at me.

“i guess it all part of your plan Dave, just leave and i don’t want to see your face ever again, just go and never come back again,” i yelled at him, while he said nothing.

“you plan to hurt Vanessa and am gonna hear that from her, now go,” i yelled.

” i did nothing to her okay so just believe me,” he said then left. My eyes were filled with much tears now as i return back to my room and get myself drunk, i cried out my eyes and wish i never did that to Vanessa, i was such to fool to have did that. I couldn’t believe i wasn’t able to control myself at that time all because my past life which is now hunting me. I hated myself for everything and wish Vanessa will frgive me if i tell her that myself, even if she won’t be able to forgive me i just want her to know the truth. I emptied about three bottles of wine and threw myself helplessly on the bed until i finally fall asleep.

I wake woke around 3:00pm and couldn’t believe i slept that much, i woke up with a very strong headache and i was so hungry, i went downstairs to asked some of the maid if Vanessa has come, i know she must be in so much pains, but can i even face her. I ordered for pizza which i ate only a few slice of it. I had my shower and return back to my room. I know i did the wrong thing by raping Vanessa and i shouldn’t have done that but i know some part of me still want her in my life, i tried calling her number but i wasn’t going through which was making me go crazy about that. I regretted every action i did, cos is as if i was possessed that night.

The next day i was seated by the swimming pool when the gate and was opened by the security guard and to my surprise my parents are back and i can’t believe they came along with Juliet, the girl the always wanted me to marry.

“oh Robbie, you’re looking so hot,” she said then rushed and hug me.

“but mom, dad, i thought you were coming back next week,” i said cos to be honest i wasn’t glad seeing them.

“come on son, we are back to celebrate your birthday, sorry for not coming on time. You know, we can’t just be away from my only son’s birthday,” mom said while i just kept mute, i was really in a bad mode and dad notice that.

“Robbie are you still angry with us, atleast we are here to celebrate your birthday afresh,” he said while i smiled trying to look happy i don’t want them to feel bad. Juliet held my hand and we walked in. Later in the evening the maid were done preparing delicious meal all because of my birthday, i guess mom and dad were so much concern about it. A cool music was on and we had a small dinner party which was perfect but it wasn’t perfect for me, all i want to see is Vanessa but i felt so nervous i don’t know am gonna tell her this, gosh i know she’ll be so much hurt to know she was raped by the one she loved. The party ended and i hurriedly return back to my room, i called her line again but it wasn’t going through, my door went open and Juliet walked in putting on a short nighty gown which was parent, her curly hair were packed in a ponytail. Was she trying to seduce!

“what did you want? i asked her frowning while she smile and sat down beside me on the bed.

“you look sad, something must be wrong Robbie, please i don’t like seeing you this way,” she said.

“just go, i need to be alone,” i yelled at her which make her startled, she quickly stood up while i glare at her.

“just go Juliet, i want to think straight,” i said to her while she left without saying anything, i sighed and rested my head on my pillow, i think i need to visit Vanessa.

Vanessa’s POV

I was already dressed in my orange flare gown and packed my long striaght hair in a bun as usual, i looked at myself in the mirror, tears slide down my cheeks and i wipe it away, my mom was already out for work and am ready to tell Robbie about this, i miss him so much and i hope he help me find that Dave, i know Robbie will definitely helped me. I could have called him but the phone he gave me was missing that night, how can i ever forget his birthday night on 12th June. I took a cab which took me to his mansion. The security guard allow me go in because they knew am a maid in the house, i walked in and knocked on the door a young lady opened it, she’s quiet taller than me with curly hair.

“who are you? she asked rudely.

“am Vanessa, please i need to see Robbie, i need to tell him something, it very urgent now,” i said then gave her a pleading look, she looked at me from head to toe i know she might have notice am from a poor backgorund.

“too bad, Robbie my fiance, that is my husband to be, just traveled this morning, and hey! once he’s back we will soon get married,” she said which makes my eyes filled up with tears.

“he did, but when is he coming back? i ask her while she glare at me.

“that non of your non business, and i don’t know what Robbie will do with someone like you,” she said while tears slide down my eyes.

” i have to go,” i said then quickly left, i guess she’s the one his parents had always wanted him to marry, i knew our love with him will gonna be impossible, his parents will never want me for their son. I love Robbie, i love him so much, how can i survived this without him by my side, i wept so bitterly.

“Va..nessa,” my mom walked in and i told her all that happen, she hug me so tight to her.

“we are moving to San Francisco,” she said while i was surprise by that.

“why mom? am still hoping to see My Robbie,” i said in tears.

“a friend of mine has decided to help me get a job over and beside you can also complete your education over their,” she said while i nodded in agreement, after all i have nothing to say.

Immediately the next day i and mom traveled to San francisco and i hope life will be much easier here.

Robbie’s POV

My parents insisted i marry Juliet but i prove them stubborn and disapprove about that, i went to check on Vanessa only to be told that she has moved out and no one knows where she go, i felt so heart broken and wish i could see and tell her everything, now i kept cursing myself, i search everywhere for her but she was no where tobe found and i sometimes wonder if she still exist in this world. It been a month now without seeing Vanessa, i wonder where she might have gone to, my dad insisted i should marry Juliet else he disowned me, i have no option than to accept that, to marry Juliet not because he threaten me but because am paying for the useless life i lived back then if only i was able to control myself that night. We moved to New York to start a fresh life and that’s where i married Juliet even thou i haven’t forget about vanessa. Just a month after my marriage with Juliet my dad died in a plane crash, i used that advantage to divorce Juliet but my mom never agreed of that and beside my dad was such a fool to have write almost all his share to Juliet, divorcing her simply means leaving her with my dad wealth, i never knew it was an agreement they made just because of the so call business to moved on well, her parents has contributed much to my dad’s company, so i have continue with the marriage which i never like. I just hope i get to see and tell Vanessa everything someday.

“look Vanessa, you’re still young, you’re just seventeen maybe after delivery you can keep the baby with me and return back to school fully. Everything happens for a reason, you just need to be strong,” She said then wipe away my tears, first i was raped, second i couldn’t even get the chance to talk to Robbie my love, am sure he’s already married, thirdly am left alone with this unborn child, what if the baby eventually grew and asked about his father? i asked my mom, more tears were forming in my eyes.
