"Jamie attempted to rape you?" Alicia asked, continuing with the interview, and Lucy drew in a deep breath as she nodded her head.
"By that time he had taken off the tape from my lips because the tape he used had caused me to have wounds around my lips, and he figured that I was too weak to scream so it was safe."
"On that day he stripped off his clothes completely and then came to where I was lying near the bed. He rubbed his manhood over my body. And then as though he was pushing his luck he tried to stuff it into my mouth," Lucy said with a shudder.
"I have no idea what he was thinking doing that. Perhaps he thought I was too weak to bite him, or maybe he was delusional enough to think that I wanted him too."
"So what did you do? You didn't bite it off?" Alicia asked with a slight frown.
"I knew that I couldn't fight him. I was too weak to win a fight against him, especially not when I was still tied up," Lucy said and squeezed her eyes shut.
Seventeen years old Lucy turned her head to the side, away from Jamie's erect manhood, "If you care about me as you claim you do, you won't want to have me this way, like I'm a prisoner," Lucy said in a weak voice.
"You're not my prisoner, you're my angel. I love you," Jamie assured her as he ran his hands over her chest.
"How can you say you love me yet you treat me this way? Even prisoners are not tied up in this manner. I can barely feel my hands or legs," Lucy complained as she tried not to shudder in disgust when she felt his hands on her.
No matter how many times he touched her, she could never get used to the disgust and fear she felt each time she felt his hands on her skin. It was as scary and as disgusting to her as the imagination of having spiders or worms crawl over her.
"I don't even remember the last time I had a real bath," Lucy said to him, trying to distract herself from what he was doing.
Jamie looked down at her uncertainly as though trying to determine whether she was trying to plan a trick on him, "I can't let you do that. You will try to run away from me. I can't do that," Jamie said as he moved away from her.
Seeing that her plan was working a little, seventeen years old Lucy decided to continue, "So how long will you keep me tied up in here? Until I die? How can I believe you love me when you treat me this way?"
"I can't untie you," Jamie insisted stubbornly.
"What about just for a few minutes so that I can shower. You can have me after that," Lucy bargained, and Jamie's brows pulled together as he considered her request.
"You can stand by the door and keep watch until I finish bathing if you want," Lucy offered when she noticed that his resolve was beginning to weaken, "I've never asked you for anything before. You can't turn down my first request if you love me," Lucy pointed out.
"You won't try to run away?" Jamie asked after giving it some thought.
"Can I escape even if I tried?" Lucy asked, since she had already made up her mind to kill herself. She would rather take her own life than let him violate her body any more than he had already done. It was most likely that she would be dead before either her parents or the police finds her. What were the chances that she would be able to live a normal life after now?
Jamie looked at her for a moment before reaching for her hands and legs to untie her, "If you try to run this will be the last time I untie you," he threatened, and Lucy nodded meekly.
Once he untied her, Lucy stretched out her hands and legs which truly felt numb, and although she still felt embarrassed because she was naked before him, she didn't mind. All she wanted was to take her own life and save herself from this torture.
"You wanted to take your life?" Sonia cut in, looking horrified as what happened finally dawned on her.
Tears dropped from Lucy's eyes as she turned to Sonia and nodded her head, "While he was making sure the lock was in place, I stole the pair of scissors which he had used in cutting my hair, and went to into the bathroom, ready to end it all. I guess he didn't remember to get rid of the scissors since he obviously never planned to untie me. He came into the bathroom before I could stab myself, and while trying to stop me from harming myself I pushed him with all the strength I could muster. He slipped and hit his head in the bathroom while trying to stop me from taking my life."
She remembered that moment when it dawned on her that she had killed him. Even though he had abused and hurt her, she had been horrified to see blood oozing from the back of his head. She had fainted at the sight of the blood and had woken up to find herself in the hospital.
"I know that I should be sorry that he died, but I'm not sorry. I would never have been able to live with myself knowing that he was alive. I found the courage to live only because he died. This might be selfish of me, but I'm sorry that I am not sorry," Lucy concluded with a sob, and Sonia broke into a sob of her own as she embraced Lucy and held on to her tightly.
"I'm sorry you went through all of that. I'm so sorry, Lu. I'm sorry," Sonia pleaded as she cried, while Alicia wiped her own tears.
"We will be taking a break right now. We will attend to all your questions and comments after now," Alicia said with a sniffle, and Jasmine turned off the camera.
Alicia covered her face in her hands as she wept, and Jasmine walked over to where she was and patted her back softly, "You did a good job," Jasmine said with a sniffle as she consoled her wife.
"Lulu," Lucas called, his vision blurred with tears as he looked at his twin sister, and Lucy pulled away from Sonia's embrace when she heard her brother's voice.
"I'll leave you both to talk," Sonia offered as she stood up and walked away from there to go and find Bryan who wasn't in the living room.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. I'm sorry you had to go through all of this alone," Lucas said guiltily. Even after Lucy had returned from the hospital after she was rescued, he had still not given her enough of his attention as he should have done as her twin brother.
"It's alright. I'm fine," Lucy said with a shaky smile as she tried to wipe her tears with the back of her hand, but Lucas reached out and wiped her tears with his thumb.
"I will make it up to you, I promise. You will never have to feel alone again," Lucas promised as he embraced her.
Tom watched both siblings from a distance but didn't approach them. He knew that they needed the moment together. He could always have his moment with Lucy later.
He glanced down at his phone when it started to ring and received the call when he saw that it was from Harry, "Is everything alright?" He asked as he walked into his bedroom.
"Anita transferred some money to someone called Simon Bell, and Jade says he is your brother's housekeeper," Harry informed him.
"Simon? That is unexpected, but it makes sense," Tom said with a slight frown.
"What should I do?" Harry asked, and Tom sighed.
"I will talk to Bryan. Let's just clear up this mess first, and then we will figure out what to do."
"Alright. Is Lucy okay?" Harry asked, his concern evident in his tone.
"Maybe not at the moment, but she will be fine," Tom said confidently.
"You should get back to her. I will let you know if I find anything else," Harry said before hanging up.
In the room next to Tom's bedroom, Sonia stood by the open door as she watched Bryan who was looking at something on his phone, "Is everything okay?" She asked in concern as she shut the door behind her and walked in to meet him.
Bryan raised his head, "I'm not sure Anita is involved. I think my housekeeper sold the information to the press," Bryan said, and Sonia's brows pulled together as she approached him.
"What do you mean? But your housekeeper hasn't been around since I arrived. You said you didn't want him in the apartment so that your mother wouldn't find out about our fake engagement. So how did he find out?" Sonia asked, and then took the phone from Bryan when he handed it to her.
The crease on her brows deepened as she watched the video, "He planted a camera in your house?" She asked in disbelief.
"This explains why the tabloids always had something to write about me. He was selling me out to them," Bryan said, feeling very disappointed since he had considered Simon as a part of the family.
"Bryan?" Tom called from the doorway since he had gone to the living room to find him, only to realize that he was still in the bedroom.
"I'm in here," Bryan called to him.
Tom opened the door, and paused when he saw Sonia inside, "Are you okay?" He asked when he noticed that Bryan seemed upset, and he reasoned it had to do with the phone call he had received.
"Simon planted a camera in my apartment," Bryan said as he handed the phone to Tom.
Bryan looked at Tom as he watched the video, "Why don't you seem surprised?" He asked curiously.
"Harry called. Anita transferred some money to Simon yesterday," Tom explained.
"So she is really behind this as we suspected," Bryan said with a shake of his head, "Mom is going to be upset when she finds out that Simon did this."
"Let's finish up with the interview and then we can talk about that," Tom suggested as he walked out of the bedroom.
Once he returned to the living room this time, he went to where Lucy was seated with Lucas and squatted in front of her, "You did very well.. I'm proud of you," he said with a soft smile as he kissed her hands.
