Somehow it was clear that it was Ruby's act of revenge on me since she had made her promise at the club to get back at me. I should have known better and shouldn't have doubted my trust in Kian. Luckily he was able to explain it to me, because I would definitely regret it if I left.

His declaration of love was suddenly surprising. It didn't fit the situation, but I was glad he'd taken the first step. So I didn't have to keep my feelings towards him in check anymore. It felt damn nice to be loved. Suddenly I felt needed and wanted. He saw me as a real person and didn't ignore me.

I also told him about my visit to my mother and the developments she was making. Kian didn't judge me for wanting to give my mother another chance. I hadn't quite forgiven her yet, having lived in the shadow of myself for years because of her. Maybe I could surprise both my mother and Kian and prepare a meal together. I wanted them to get to know each other better and for my mother to change her mind about our relationship. I just wanted us to be a real family someday.

Today I used my powers of persuasion to go to the Casa Nova Club. I hadn't seen Nancy for a while. We texted from time to time, but I wanted to have some fun with her again. "Come on, Kian. I'm sure Nancy would be happy to see us again.' I begged him, using my puppy eyes. He was struggling with himself, I could tell. "I don't know if that's such a good idea," he mused. I looked at him confused, not quite understanding what he was getting at. “What do you mean?” “It's possible that Ruby could show up. I want to avoid any stress, kid.” Okay, that was understandable. But I still had a score to settle with this arrogant brat. 'Well, let her come then. I also have a few words for her, I'd like to say it." I felt so confident and strong. My opinion on violins might not be so bad after all. At that time I had never dared to do it and was more of a reserved person. But thanks to Kian, I had seen the other side of myself.

"Princess, please don't argue," he pleaded. I couldn't promise him, but I nodded to his satisfaction. "Okay, but we're going!" I paused and smiled broadly at him. Giving in, he sighed and agreed. Quickened, I hugged Kian and smothered him with my kisses.

Now all I had to do was find the right outfit and show that mean snake who Kian had by his side. Excited, I walked out of the living room towards my bedroom. Although I still had a lot of time before the club opened, there was no harm in preparing beforehand.

I rummaged around in the dressing room for an outfit that might not have been quite as revealing. Somehow I was more in the mood for chic pants and a nice top. I found a pair of tight black fabric pants that I paired with a black lace bodysuit and blazer. I also looked for golden high heels and a black shoulder bag with golden straps. It was an elegant outfit with which I was more than satisfied.

Towards evening, Kian and I ate together before we drove to the club. The beautiful man had once again hit the mark with his choice of clothes. Dark gray suit trousers and a black shirt flattered his well-trained body. He had the top buttons undone and the sleeves rolled up. My mouth almost watered at this hot sight. Not only was Kian a sex god in bed, he was pure attractiveness personified. He had combed his dark hair back slightly, with individual strands falling in his face.

If we didn't drive off right away, I could rip his clothes off and allow him to have me here and now on the dining table. Only my elaborate make-up and hairstyle was too good for me.

I was putting the dishes in the dishwasher when I felt two large hands on my waist and his hot breath on the back of my neck. "Are you ready, little one?" he whispered in my ear. This deep voice always left goosebumps on my body. I turned to him and kissed his soft lips. "We can go as far as I'm concerned." I answered his question. He then took my hand and led me into the foyer. Kian took his key from the shell before opening the door and we stepped out into the darkness. It was pleasantly cool for the summer nights. His black Range Rover was already parked in the driveway when we sat down.

While driving, Kian was focused on the road. Nevertheless, his hand rested on my thigh, which gave me the necessary warmth. The warmth inside me.

When we arrived he parked the car in the parking lot before we got out together and walked to the entrance. It was already 9pm which meant it shouldn't be too crowded. In the club we sat down at a VIP table, where Kian's best friend Jesse was also sitting. He greeted me with a kiss left and right before sitting down and ordering drinks for us.

The waitress brought Kian a beer while I got a pink cocktail. I didn't know what it was, but it was really tasty. I could still feel a hint of alcohol.

I saw Nancy dancing on a pole who waved at me with a quick smile. From what I heard from her, she should be off work in about three hours. Her shift started at 6 p.m.

“Saphira, I'd like to buy you another drink. For making my best mate so happy.« came the voice of Jesse, who gave me a ready grin. “Don't push it too hard, Jesse. I don't want my little one to get drunk because of you.' Kian admonished him. Another cocktail wouldn't kill me, so I agreed. Jesse ordered the same again before I finished it after several sips.

Now my bladder reported, so I apologized to the men and disappeared into the women's toilet. Since there were only a few women here, the room was empty. I went into the cabin and relieved the pressure. After I was finished, I opened the door and was about to wash my hands when a broadly built man entered the ladies' toilet and gave me a dangerous grin. "Excuse me, but you're in the wrong place here," I pointed out to the strange man. He, on the other hand, laughed scornfully. He locked the door to the exit and walked closer and closer to me. I got scared and wanted to scream, but my body didn't respond the way I wanted it to. "No my dear, I've come to the right place," he said with a menacing undertone that made me swallow hard.

"Me-my friend is out there and he's gonna kick your ass if you don't

ve-get out right now," I stuttered. My back banged against the cab as I backed up with every step he took. But my words didn't deter him as I wanted. "Your dear friend who's out there talking to a pretty blondie," laughed the stranger. A big lump formed in my throat as I could only think of a blond woman. Once again she took the chance in my absence. I wish only Kian could get me out of this situation.

The man made a sudden movement that I didn't see coming and tugged at my blazer and lace bodysuit. He touched me everywhere he shouldn't or wasn't allowed to. I whimpered as a few tears ran down my cheeks. "Stop it," I begged him, but he made no move to finish his process. I tried to push him off me, but his weight was partially on top of me, so I couldn't manage it. He was way too heavy and way too strong.

I screamed for help when he then covered my mouth. “Shut your fucking mouth. Don't fight back and this will be over soon.” A sickening shiver ran through my body. This man planned to rape me. I just didn't think about just letting it endure like that. I kept screaming through his hand trying to get someone out there to notice me.

I felt his hand wander under my pants and stay very close to my private parts. I couldn't believe this was actually happening. My muffled screams became more and more hysterical when suddenly someone rattled the door. I hoped it was Kian but heard Jesse's voice. "Saphira, are you in there?" The guy turned his head toward the door, then I took the chance and bit his hand. He let go for a moment, after which I cried out loud and called for help. After less than a second, I heard the door being kicked. The man grabbed my hair. "What don't you know about shutting up your stupid mouth?" he growled angrily before slapping me in the face.

At the same moment the door to the toilet slammed open as the man was then torn from me. Jesse corrected the stranger and violently beat him. "You son of a bitch!" Kian's best friend scolded him. I crouched on the floor and silently let the tears flow. Where was Kian and why didn't he help me? "T-The blonde..." croaked the guy on the floor. Jesse stopped immediately. "Keep talking!" he commanded. "She paid me to do this so she can talk to her boyfriend," he pointed to me. She said I should break it so he can drop it voluntarily.” He showed Jesse a chat log that proved he was telling the truth.

My ears started beeping. I couldn't believe what Ruby was capable of. She paid a strange man to rape me? How sick could a person be? Bile rose in my throat before I yanked open the cabin door and threw up in the toilet bowl. Ruby was a disgusting piece of dirt.

I heard occasional thuds until I felt a presence behind me. Jesse pulled my hair out of my face, helped me up and gave me a hug. I sobbed in his embrace but caught myself wanting to know where Kian was. "Where is he?" I asked Jesse. "At the bar. I happened to walk by here and heard the rumbling in here." "Didn't you ask where I was?" "You were only gone five minutes. We thought that you women always needed a little longer.« Only the five minutes felt like half an eternity. It felt so damn long...

Jesse walked out with me, not caring about my current appearance. I just wanted to go to Kian and far away from here. I saw the bar where he was actually sitting and Ruby was struggling to talk him into it. Kian just didn't show her any interest or any emotion. At least he didn't respond to her attempt. But my anger at this something called a woman grew more and more. I stomped over to the two as I got their attention. "Little, what-" Kian started to talk, but I immediately cut him off and turned to the plastic doll. “You're a lousy little rat, Ruby. A scum for the whole world!' I yelled at her. Kian tried to pull me towards him, but I was so angry that I jerked myself from his hands and kept my distance. »What do you mean by insulting me like that?!", she cried hysterically. I stepped closer to her and gave her an angry and menacing look at the same time. "You bitch pay someone to abuse me in the fucking restroom!" She gasped, pretending I was telling lies. “That's not true at all! How can you accuse me of something like that.« , she hissed at me, but I remained unimpressed.

"What are you talking about, Saphira?" Kian asked. I didn't look at him, just fixed Ruby in my visor. 'But she's telling the truth. I was able to prevent it.” Jesse interjected. "There's evidence of that." Ruby looked at us with huge eyes, but now she squeezed her tear duct. “Kian that's not true. They're both lying!"

The dark-haired man stepped in front of me and looked contemptuously at Ruby. "My best friend and girlfriend have no reason to lie to me. You know exactly what's in store for you now.« he said surprisingly calmly. "Jesse, call the police and make sure this guy doesn't run away."

Ruby, who was about to take a few steps back, was then held by Kian. She screamed and tried to free herself from his grasp, but he was stronger. Nancy, who had noticed the whole thing, led me into another room and handed me a warm cup of tea. She never left my side and talked to me about what had happened. That's when I found out that exactly the same thing had happened to her, except that she wasn't as lucky as I was...
