Chapter 36: Chapter 36

As I was walking through the hallway, I bumped into someone.

“Sorry," I and the person I bumped into said at the same time. My books have scattered on the floor, so I bend over to pick them up.

“Let me help you," I heard the same masculine voice which said sorry. I looked up and my eyes met Dylan. He's one of the hottest and popular guys on campus. I've noticed the way he usually stares lustfully at me and I hated it.

“Hi beauty." He has a flirting smile on his lips. He didn't bend to pick up my book, rather he stood tall on my way.

“Please get out of my way," I said after gathering my books and standing straight. I don't like this guy at all. I hate seeing him.

At first I was afraid of this guy because he's such a bully with great influence but not now. He's nothing but a scoundrel who enjoys hurting others and I shouldn't fear such a person.

He was not moving out of my way, he stood firm with his lustful gaze. It's so disgusting, I so much hate the way he stares at me.

The first day I met him was at the school canteen. He had his eyes on me all day, he was doing everything possible to gain my attention but I paid him none. Jocelyn also doesn't like him, she told me to stay far away from him. I don't even need her to say that to me, I already know that's what I should do.

This guy isn't moving and I can't push him away either. Luckily, there was space beside him for me to walk away. I hold my book tight and walk away through the space. I heard his irritating chuckling, I paid no attention to it.

I walked to class and met Jocelyn. The class was lively, everyone was happy. I noticed that the students dressed up nicely today unlike their usual style of dressing. Some even over did, people like Sacha. I barely held my laughter, this girl is unbelievable. She's too much

“Hi bestie!" Jocelyn called out to me. She is also happy just like everyone else and she's dressed beautifully too. Guess I'm the only one that didn't take the dressing stuff seriously. I dressed in my normal style. I joined Jocelyn and sat down.

“How do I look?" She jollily asked, twirling around.

I smiled. “You look stunning."

“Thank you but why are you dressed casually? Did you forget what today is?"

“Of course I remember what today is, I just don't find any reason to be overly dressed," I replied. Jocelyn couldn't speak further because a teacher came into the class.

The lecture went by slowly and the day in school went smoothly. Finally it was time for the Chancellor's birthday party, I just can't wait. I was so excited just like other students. The whole school was in chaos.

Everyone went to the venue where the event will take place, they couldn't wait for the birthday party to begin. I'm sure that most of the students here came because of my husband…. They are not here for the Chancellor's birthday party, especially Sacha— I think the girl is going crazy already, she had been preparing for this birthday party since the very moment it was announced.

“Out of my way." She sarcastically pushed me away when I was trying to take my seat just like every other student. I wasn't on her way, she's just a troublemaker.

“Such a rude and arrogant brat," Jocelyn gritted.

I chuckled, I'm already used to Sacha and her sarcastic attitude towards me doesn't bother me at all.

The decoration for the party was luxurious and the atmosphere was light, the party arrangements were extravagant. Many top socialites were at the birthday party. The number of people was immense, this is the first event I went to with a large number of people gracing the event.

Soon enough the birthday party started. It was so fun but the atmosphere blared in great excitement when it was time for my husband to perform on stage.

“Oh! My gosh! He's damn handsome. Like a Greek god!" I screamed in my head.

The cheering when he climbed the stage was so intensifying. Almost everyone here is my husband's fan.

I was in my own world when he started singing with his angelic voice. I felt like crying. Is this a great achievement? Seeing my husband perform on stage made me so happy. I felt like this is everything I ever needed.

“He's so handsome!" Jocelyn squeaks just like every other student.

I was in my dreamy land. A place where I could only see myself and my husband. I don't want this moment to end. He's so energetic on stage and I want to listen to his beautiful voice all day.

Sadly, his performance came to an end. The crowd cheered loudly for him and applauded his great performance. I was clapping with every strength in me, my husband is the best! I wanted to scream that sentence but I held myself back.

After a while when my husband left the stage, another musician climbed the stage. I couldn't believe that the cheering given to him wasn't anywhere close to the cheering which was given to my husband. Guess, my husband is most loved. I felt so proud and on top of the world.

I was actually enjoying the performance of the next musician but suddenly I felt pressed.

“I will be back, Jocelyn, let me use the restroom," I said. I actually screamed so that she could hear me because the noise was too much.

“Okay, be careful!" She also screamed.

I walked to the restroom, I was quick to use the restroom. When I was about to go back to the event venue, Dylan and his two friends stood on my way.

This is a quiet hallway; seeing the look in their eyes, I gulped down in fear. What are they doing at the ladies restroom, the male restroom is on the other side. Was he and his friends following me?

“Hello beautiful." Dylan's voice sounded so disgusting to me. I jerked off his fingers which tried to caress my cheeks.

“Easy, pretty, don't be too violence. It's just you, me and my friends in this peaceful hallway."

I couldn't help but gulp down in fear when he said that, especially the lustful gaze he was throwing at me.

There's no one around here. What is this boy going to do to me? I'm just a fragile girl facing three young men. If they try to do anything despicable to me, I won't be able to save myself.

No one needed to tell me that Dylan is here to take advantage of me. With the way this guy always stares at me, I'm sure he won't bat an eye to force himself on me. I wonder if his friends are also here to do the same thing to me. Will I ever survive?

This is a lonely hallway, no matter how I scream no one will hear, especially now that they are all enjoying themselves outside.

I'm praying silently that someone will come here and save me from these fools. I was thinking of my husband coming but that's not possible, he's definitely busy and he won't notice that I'm no longer in the crowd.

“You don't need to be aggressive pretty because I will surely have you today," Dylan said and forcefully grabbed my hands.

“Let go of me you bastard, if you dare touch me. You are going to regret it!"

They laughed at my outburst, my words didn't put a bit of fear in them. I was beginning to fear, who would save me?. I won't allow this filthy boy take away my innocence.

I was struggling but my struggles were futile. I gave up and decided to beg him, maybe he will have an ounce of sympathy in him.

“Please Dylan, don't do this to me, please," I pleaded in tears but this boy is heartless, he didn't stop.

“The fierce bunny is now begging in tears." He and his friends laughed out mockingly.

I started struggling again but they were too powerful than me. Dylan had already torn the sleeve of my dress. I screamed for help but I know that was just a wasteful try.

I was about to give in to my fate but luckily a helper came out of nowhere. It happened in a blink of an eye, the next thing I saw was Dylan and his two friends yowling in pain on the floor.

I felt a masculine hand help me stand on my feet and led me out of the hallway and took me to the parking lot. He covered me with a black jacket, Dylan had ruined my dress.

When we were in the parking lot, I was able to see the face of my savior.

“Darren," I mumble in a beam of surprise. Darren was the friend I made when I went to London for my honeymoon.

He smiled at me, I couldn't believe it. What's he doing in the States?

“Are you shocked to see me?" He asked, still beaming in a smile.

“Darren, is it really you? When did you come to the States?" I quickly ask the question in my mind.

He chuckled and replied, “Yeah it's me, I recently relocated to America."

“You are now staying in America?" I can't believe that I've totally forgotten what happened to me a while ago and now I'm so interested in asking Darren questions.

“Yeah, I believe you will take me round the state just like I took you round London."

I laughed. “Of course I will, I can't believe this is you Darren. I'm really happy to meet you again." I was sincere with my words, I actually had fun in London; all thanks to Darren.

“I told you we will surely meet again." His face suddenly turned serious. “Are you okay, did those fools hurt you in any way? I should have taught them more lessons."

“I'm fine, thank you for saving me. Don't worry, I won't let Dylan and his friends get away with this." I clenched my teeth in anger, how dare Dylan tried to rape me.

“Don't worry, I will help you in punishing him and those stupid friends of his."

I'm already messed up, I can't return to the party. Darren offered to drive me home.

Jake had earlier told me that an emergency came up in his family and he needed to attend to it. I gave him permission to go, once I'm ready to go home I will call him. I'm sure he's on it now and I don't want to disturb him. I'm glad that Darren wanted to drive me home, I won't let him drive me into the compound; he will just drop me off at the gate, I won't let him find out about my identity.

I texted Jocelyn and told her what happened and she shouldn't worry about me because I'm fine.

Darren said that he recently registered to continue his studies in my school. He's glad to find out that I'm schooling in the same school. It was such a great coincidence, if he hadn't happened to pass through that hallway, he wouldn't have seen me and saved me from Dylan and his friends. I'm really grateful to Darren and also happy to meet him again.
