Sophia's eyes slowly starts to open. Her brow was knotted in a frown as she felt a banging pain in her head. Once she opened her eyes, she looked around her in the darkness.
She was confused. Where was she? She couldn't remember going to bed last night? Why was her head aching so badly?
She tried to move but a hand was placed protectively around her waist. She looked beside her. It was dark but not so dark for her to see who lay beside her. It was Jason.
His breath was warm on her face as she turned to look at him. She gave him a confused stare. What was he doing here with her ....on the bed. Was she missing something here. She looked straight at the bathroom door and could see her black dress hung on the door.
That's when images of what happened flashed in her mind. The last thing she remembered was hitting her head against something hard in the car. Then all went blank.
She carefully pushed his hand aside and sat up. She couldn't help but wince loudly when she did, her hand holding her head. She was surprised when she felt a bandage around her head. Jason wakes up. He sits up immediately.
"Sophia you ....." He switched on the light and Sophia blinked several times when he did. "You're awake"
Sophia didn't say anything. She looked around. "Where are we"
"At a hotel. You were bleeding after the accident so I brought you here for....."
Sophia sighed heavily then she buried her face in her hands.
"Why?" She looked at him and Jason understood what she meant by 'Why'.
"It's really complicated. I can't tell you anything but you're safe. That's what matters"
She snapped. "Safe from what? Safe from who? My sister???!!!!"
She winced and held her head. Jason tried to touch her but she slapped his hand away.
"You're the one I should be safe from"
"I understand you hate me right now but...."
"Hate?" Sophia laughed maniacally. "Hate is just an understatement Jason compared to what I feel towards you"
"I don't really care what you think or feel about me but one day you're going to look back at this day and wish you had thanked me"
"Thank you? I have nothing to thank you for Jason. But you know what.....Thank you. Thank you very much"
She stood up from the bed. Jason looked at her, confused. Though he was raging and hurting inside.
"....Thank you for ruining my life. It wasn't enough that you killed my father, you degraded me before you as a maid. Now I'm just your personal Whore. You've made my body a mockery. You've leveled my dignity to a status of shameless" She rubbed her teary eyes with the base of her palm and sniffed. "But it's okay. It's just a week. And after that I'll never have to see your face again"
