CHAPTER 90- Raped On My Birthday

  Ashley's POV;

  I hadn't gone home since the strike started because I'm not yet ready to leave Gerald, and my mother's request is still standing.

  She wants me to go and see Aunt Lily one more time before going home, and I don't want to do that.

  I love my aunty a lot and do want to spend some time with her. But I can't do that, with her son lurking around.

  He'd take any chance he has, to have sex with me, even if it means screwing me up against a wall, with her in the same room.

  I'm tired of such taboos happening. Yes, I was much younger and stupid when I let us start having sex. But now, I'm no longer that little girl.

  Tomorrow, I'll be 20 years old. Old enough to make my choices and decisions. I'm growing into a woman, and Austin has to understand that.

  I never felt the same after that night at the hotel with Austin and Gerald. Everything I did with Gerald after that, has been tinted with guilt.
