Who would've thought that what I heard in stories could also happen to me??

Valerie's POV

Three years later

A lot happened during these years. I had to go to school and come back home, to find a tutor waiting for me. I had to do double the effort to catch up on all I had missed at the orphanage.

I was used to eating little but my body was big. I had an hourglass structure and that brought negative attention towards me. I never thought about being with anyone as I was so goal oriented. I wanted to follow my mother's footsteps, and become a financial manager.

One day, we finished school and it was Friday. I quickly walked back home, just wanting to relax from such a long hard week of learning. When I got there, I became sad when I realised that Mom wouldn't be around all weekend. Dad was sitting on the couch as usual reading his newspaper. I greeted him as I made my way upstairs.

"Vee, come here darling"

This was a very odd for me since he hardly ever talked to me. I hesitantly walked to him.

"Sit on my lap"

I furrowed my brows, not really understanding the jist of it all and sat. He wrapped his huge hand around my waist. I stiffened.

Is this how other daughters and fathers acted? If so, it was really awkward.

"I knew you'd become a beautiful woman."

🙈🙈🙈

That was when I panicked. I wanted to stand up but his grip got tighter. Oh God!!!!!!!!

"Let me go" I shrieked

I was now shaking like a crazy person in his hold. He slapped me across my face and I screamed at the impact. He pushed me off his lap and I fell to the ground

"Man, you're big. I like that in a woman"

I wanted to run out of the house but as soon as I got up, I was pushed to the wall, his body pinning me there. He smacked his lips on mine and I was now crying, trying to push him away, but he didn't budge. I felt his member jabbing my stomach, and I knew I was done for.

No one could hear me. We were in the middle of nowhere and there was no help around. The next thing I heard was my dress being torn, falling to the ground. My teary eyes looked up to see him looking at me with lust as his eyes grazed my body.

"You're so big. No one's ever gonna like this body except for me so be thankful that someone's actually paying attention to you"

He did a lot of nasty things to me, then I felt my whole body being assaulted as a large amount of pain shot through me, making me scream, and this resulted in me being slapped. While he was in his ecstasy, I was in pain. I felt uttermost hatred towards him.

He was scratching my skin, leaving horrible bloody streaks all over my tummy and chest. I was still crying in pain when he was done with me. He quickly stood up and left me in the room, on the ground, writhing in pain, not being able to walk.

🙈🙈🙈

He came back with pills and water and shoved them down my throat.

"If you ever tell anyone about this, it will be your own funeral, got that?"

I nodded, and he had a huge cheshire grin on his face

"Good girl"

He stood up and left me there, in my own misery. I cried till I heard the clock chime 9pm. I got up and crawled to my room and took a bath and went straight to bed.

The same thing happened all weekend, him assaulting me, hitting me, calling me big, fat, other horrid words and that no one would ever love me. Whenever he left, I would sleep on his words.

Day after day, for two weeks, he came and said the exact same things with so much intensity that I now believed everything he said. His words no longer affected me, because to me, he was being honest.

When Mom came back from the business trip, he welcomed her, showering her with kisses as if he'd missed her so much and while we were eating at the table, he would be kicking me whilst talking to Mom or he'd touch me. I really hated this man and I just wished he died a painful death.

One day, I decided to face my fears and tell Mom. When I told her, she was shocked. She seemed to be deep in thought, thinking about what I said. I thought she was going to defend her husband and get me thrown out of the house.

That was my biggest fear.

She just left me in there alone and I went to my room in silence. If her husband knew I'd told her, I was dead meat. I had basically signed my own death warrant by telling her.

A few hours later, I heard police cars outside and a man shouting at the top of his voice.

I ran downstairs to see two policemen holding onto Dad whilst he was struggling in his captivity. He looked up to see me standing by the stairs. He yelled out.

"I'm coming back for you. You just ruined my life. And you'll pay for this!!"

I gulped in fear, fear for my own life but Mom came beside me and hugged me tight. I was so happy that she trusted me over her husband. I was then later told that Mom had hidden security cameras in the house and she'd seen everything.

"Don't worry, Vee. It's over now"

I so wanted to believe her.
