Chapter 3 Attempted Abuse

Nina's POV

I wouldn't lie, his touch around my neck got me aroused but I pushed him away, scare

"What are you doing?"

"I'm sorry, ma'am." He apologized at once.

"As your boss, I should...."

He cut in rudely. "You're not my boss." He replied.

My heart fell into pieces. That was a clear violation that rendered me speechless.

He was so rude!

"Alright, I'm sure you can drive."

"Yes ma'am."

I nodded. "My car's in the garage, go get it and meet me in front of the organization."

"I can't."

I took a deep breath and faked a smile to look gentle. "Alright, let's go to the parking lot together." I replied and walked out of the office.

We both entered the lift and I pressed the first floor button. I just wasn't used to this new arrangement.

After the lift opened, we came out and walked into the parking lot. I walked into the backseat while he occupied the driver's seat.

"Take me home." I told him.

"Home?" He asked, confused. "I thought you wanted to go to your friend's house."

"It's none of your business, just take me home." I told him and he drove off.

For what felt like the worst moment of my life, I wished I didn't say anything about the men who attacked me.

I was very desperate to change my bodyguard, I wish I could find someone who would replace Kaden and convince my dad to employ him.

"You're not going to come in, are you?" I asked him.

"Yes, I'll be going home." He answered as soon as he parked the car in the garage. I got down from the car with a frown on my face.

My dad came out of the house and smiled at us. "It's nice to see that I finally have someone taking care of my daughter and making sure she's safe." He said.

"Isn't that your duty as a father?"

He chuckled softly. "Yes but irresponsible girls don't deserve it."

Frowning, I ignored him.

I didn't want him to say one more word so Kaden could leave immediately so I could find a way to sneak out of the house.

"Sir, I'll take my leave now." Kaden announced.

"No, you should stay for lunch since you both came back early." Dad advised and took him into the house.

I almost cried and threw myself to the floor. I was crying inside myself in so many languages.

Was my Dad doing this intentionally to frustrate me? Was he trying to make my life more miserable and add to my problems?

Walking into the house, I tried to make a straight face but I ended up giving Kaden a cold look.

And why was he so calm?

I expected him to be annoyed and quit his job as my bodyguard. I just wanted to make him annoyed and frustrated so he would quit being my bodyguard and leave me alone.

Seeing him on the dining table made me more annoyed.

"Nina, aren't you going to have lunch with us?"

"I'm not interested." I answered and slumped down on the sofa like a tired woman coming back from work.

"Don't you think it's a good time for all of us to know and understand each other." He suggested and I turned to look at him.

He was definitely right.

This was the perfect time to get to know Kaden so I could figure out a way to make him quit his job. "Alright, you win, I give up." I said as I walked to the dining and pulled out a chair.

Sitting down, I stole glances at Kaden, he ate his cornflakes quietly and avoided my gaze.

What was wrong with him?

Why couldn't he look at me even if it was for a second?

"Yeah, huh Kaden, do you have parents?" Dad asked him and he nodded.

"Yes, I also have a younger brother and a sister who care about me a lot."

I wish I could say the same thing but my mom never got the chance to become pregnant again until she died.

I decided to chip in something so as not to make the conversation look boring." Wow, a younger brother. I'm sure he's stubborn." I remarked and Kaden stared at me for a few seconds before focusing on his meal.

Wait, did he just ignore me again? What kind of person is he?

It was annoying but I wondered if he would just ignore me all day like I was a piece of shit.

"Kaden, what do you think about my daughter?" My dad asked.

He stole a glance at me before answering. "I haven't really spent much time with her so I wouldn't know her actual behavior."

"I don't care about what you think. No one cares actually, the world doesn't revolve around you." I told him bluntly and stood up, angrily.

"I'm sorry about my daughter's behavior, she's just sad and probably stressed about what happened last night." I heard dad apologising to Kaden before I climbed the stairs and walked straight into my room.

I also wondered why I was getting worked up.

Sitting down on the bed, I suddenly remembered the guy who saved me from those men yesterday night.

And why did he use a mask?

I just had to visit the bar for some drinks, I'll need a couple of drinks to make me feel and look alright.

Sneaking out if the house was not what I loved doing but I just had to.

With everything that happened, I knew the men that tried to kill me would possibly not come for me again.

***********

After a slight wavering, I squeezed myself onto the main empty seat at the bar-a stool with a torn cowhide seat. Smoke pervaded the room, constraining me to take on a squint as I kept the door in view. Televisions blasted upward and some drivers slumped to one or the other side of me, the assortment of void shot glasses and brew mugs in front of them proposing vacation consumers. I set my purse on the bar and tried to flag down a bartender, accidentally dragging my sleeve through a spill of beer.

Booming sounds, lights that could cause one to feel unsteady, bodies crushing each other.

As I took the last shot of beer , I stood up and sluggishly went to the dance floor. I just needed to have fun since my bodyguard was not around me again.

While moving the night away, moving my body to the best of the music without disturbing anybody, It felt like somebody was all the while staring at me.

Out of nowhere, I felt a hand on my waist and I shuddered. Turning around, I found a tall and muscular man who seemed to be a predator prepared to jump on his prey.

"Hi, you look beautiful." He said with a smirk.

Was his intentions genuine?

"Thank you." I murmured.

"What is a beautiful lady like you doing all alone in such a place like this?"

I frowned. "Go away," I politely told him and started to walk away but he grabbed my arm.

"I know ladies like you, cheap whores like you who can't afford to pay their bills. I'm sure the main reason you came to this bar to have sex and all that......."

It was his audacity for me.

I immediately felt disgusted by his stupid remarks. And where was my bodyguard when I needed him?

The man got a hold of my hand and dragged me with him. No one was noticing us because the music was too loud and everyone was dancing. As I tried to release myself from his grip, he held my hand tightly. He took me to the restroom, I was more than scared.
