Chapter 151
Julie’s Point of View
Sarah’s scream echoed through the bathroom. I masterfully painted a look of panic and distress on my face, rushing toward her. "Oh, Sarah! What’s wrong? Are you okay?"
She was writhing on the floor, her features contorted. "It hurts... it hurts so much," she moaned.
"Oh... how did you fall?" I asked, feigning terror.
"I don’t know," she replied, rubbing her lower back with a trembling hand. "My foot just slipped."
"Alright... here, give me your hand," I said in a fake, soothing tone. I extended my hand, and she clung to me with all her strength to rise.
As she gathered her weight and I lifted her slightly, I suddenly let go. She plummeted back down, crashing violently onto the hard marble. She let out a muffled shriek of pain. "Ow... my ass!"
I gasped in staged shock, covering my mouth. "Oh... I’m so stupid! I’m sorry, Sarah, my hand slipped. I didn’t mean to."
"It’s okay, Julie... it’s okay," Sarah muttered, trying to choke back her tears.
Finally, Sarah stood up, her body shaking. she stepped back into the shower to wash away the slick residue, then emerged cautiously, wrapping her towel tightly around her. She looked at me with bewildered eyes. "What do you want, Julie? And how did you get in here?"
"I wanted to talk to you," I said, making my voice sound broken. "You know you’re my only friend in this place."
Her features softened slightly. "Yes, of course... what is it?"
I took a deep breath and blurted out: "Robert... he kissed me."
Sarah’s mouth hung open in staggering shock. Her gaze froze in the void as if she couldn’t process what she’d heard, while internally, I relished tearing down her pride.
I decided to keep the game going to make her feel I trusted her completely.
"What?!" she choked out.
I could see the flames of jealousy igniting clearly in her pale eyes. I continued in a trembling tone: "Sarah, believe me, I don’t like Robert at all! But when he kissed me... he did it by force.
He grabbed my waist tightly, pulled me to him violently, and started devouring my lips, Sarah... I tried to get away with all my strength, but he was forcing me."
Her face went pale, and her breathing became audible. "I... I can’t believe he kissed you!"
I grabbed her hand, squeezing it pleadingly. "What’s wrong, Sarah? I’m telling you this so you can help me! Please, make him stay away from me... he stalks me and tells me he can never stay away from me."
Sarah stiffened, my words hitting her like electric shocks. She tried to brush past me toward the door to flee the truth, but I was faster. I blocked her path at the closed door, gripping her hands with practiced desperation.
"Sarah, you’re the dearest thing to me... I haven’t forgotten how you helped me escape, even though Robert found me. Now you must help me again. I hate that monster and I don’t want him near me again."
Her fingers trembled in mine. "Julie... stop talking!" she snapped, looking away.
I didn’t stop. I leaned into her ear and whispered words I knew would sear her soul: "He told me he wants me... he wants to be the first man to touch me. He wants to take my virginity himself, and no one else."
