Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 124 - I Will Always Be There For You

The next day, Lisa woke up with a broken heart and awful feeling.

Last night's incident destroyed her pride and broke her beyond repair. How embarrassed she would be if people found out what happened to her last night.

Lisa couldn't help thinking that her ex-husband would do something indecent to her. Wasn't that guy having fun with Clara now? Why did that man have to mess with her life again even though they already got divorced?

Lisa felt a sharp pain in her groin. Oscar really tore her apart.

Dirty. That's how Lisa felt that morning. 

The woman grabbed her hair in anger, feeling disgusted by her ex-husband who dared to force himself upon her last night.

The pain that Oscar left last night wounded Lisa's heart and every inch of her body.

The man seemed to be deliberately insulting Lisa by harassing her.

Lisa sat on the edge of the bed, took a deep breath and tried to organize her thoughts. She tried to calm the storm inside her mind, then exhale her breath. Now she felt much more relaxed.

Lisa got out of bed and went downstairs to wash her haggard face.

She was stunned for a moment as she caught her own reflection that showed her sad face in the mirror. 

"Dirty… You're damn dirty and disgusting, Lisa!" She said to herself.

Lisa really wanted to destroy the mirror with her fist, but she held back her anger by washing her face with fresh water.

Then she looked back at herself in the mirror. She noticed that there were many bite marks and bruises that had turned blue on her neck. These were all definitely Oscar's doing!

"Why do you still bother me, you bastard!" She screamed at the mirror as if she was facing Oscar right now.

The woman returned to her room again, seeing that there was a stain of dried blood and loads on the sheet of her bed. She immediately felt sick as the sight disgusted her a lot.

Lisa rushed back downstairs to get water and clean it. 

She took a deep breath then thought for a moment that the boarding house she was living in was no longer a safe place to protect herself from Oscar's threats.

She went downstairs and sat in the living room's chair. Lisa's mind wandered while she stared blankly at the wall in front of her.

"What should I do now?" Lisa asked herself. She was eager to ask Andien for help, but she did not want to bother her friend in office work hours. It was also impossible for her to contact Vira because the girl had nothing to do with Lisa's personal problems.

She was almost out of options. She didn't know whom she should ask for help, until finally she remembered someone.

Lisa went upstairs again and picked up her cell phone, making a call.

"Hello?" The man said from across the phone.

"Rangga, can you go to my boarding house later? I want to ask for help," Lisa burst into tears when she spoke. She couldn't take it anymore.

"What's wrong with you? Wait for me! After this, I will immediately go to your boarding house, okay? I'll hang up the phone, you wait there."

"Yes, thanks a lot. I'll tell you the long story later."

Lisa then hung up the call. She lowered her head again, covering her face with her hands.

She bursted out crying again.

About fifteen minutes later, Rangga came and entered the boarding house. He saw Lisa sitting on the edge of the living room with a worried look.

"Lisa! What happened? What's wrong with you??" Rangga rushed over to Lisa and hugged her.

Lisa didn't pay attention to him, she was still sobbing.

"It's okay, Lis. Calm yourself down first. I'm right here. Everything will be fine," Rangga said, trying to calm his good friend.

Lisa raised her head and looked into the man's dark eyes.

"Rangga, please help me…" Lisa was crying again.

"Help you with what, Lis? You weren't robbed, right? Please answer, I'm scared!"

Lisa tried to stop her sobs and calm her breath for a moment before she finally spoke up.

"Oscar… Last night…. I was raped…." 

Hearing Lisa's sentence, Rangga felt a sharp pain in his heart as if it was stabbed by thousands of daggers. The man was startled and was shocked that he couldn't say anything for a while. He was completely lost for words. He could not say anything except to hug Lisa and calm her down.

"Lis, you have to report it to the police! It's dangerous, Lis!" Rangga exclaimed with an anxious tone.

"I can't do it. I don't have any proof. Besides, it's a complicated matter and I doubt this will get anywhere," Lisa said, feeling like giving up.

"Your ex-husband forced himself on you. You should take action, Lis!"

Lisa just shook her head. She knew that bringing a rape case to the police was very difficult and she was very pessimistic about it. Oscar had a lot of money, Lisa could easily lose in court!

"No, I just want that person to get out of my life."

Rangga couldn't say anything else. Lisa must have been mentally unstable from what happened. He tried to calm his friend's heart.

"Okay, you calm down first. Are you working today? If not, please let Vira know so that she won't be looking for you," Rangga said while gently stroking Lisa's hair that covered her face.

Lisa nodded in agreement. The woman got up from her curled place and took out her cell phone.

Lisa pressed a button on the screen and made another call.

"Hi, Sis. What's up?" Vira asked from across.

Lisa took a deep breath and held back her tears. She didn't want Vira to know that she was crying. The girl would feel worried and came to her!

"Vir, is it okay for you If I don't come to the studio today? I feel a little bit unwell. I may need to take a rest for two days," Lisa said, trying to persuade her.

"Eh, no problem sis. Just get enough rest. Let me take care of it," Vira replied from the other side.

"I leave everything to you. Take care of incoming orders and the items that will be sent by the supplier this afternoon, okay?"

"Yes, Boss!" Vira replied cheerfully.

Lisa hung up the call and took a deep breath.

Her face was very haggard and her body was very weak. She could not possibly come to the studio in this state. Not to mention the marks Oscar left on all over her body last night. What an embarrassing sight!

Lisa broke into tears again. Rangga kept her company until the woman calmed down. He embraced his childhood friend and stroked her back gently.

"It's okay, Lisa. Don't worry. I'll always be here to help you," Rangga softly said.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so disgusted at myself. I'm so dirty! My ex-husband treats me as if I'm a whore!" 

Hearing Lisa's harsh words made Rangga a little annoyed, but he felt sorry for her. The man put his index finger on Lisa's lips and said, "Stop blaming yourself! This is not your fault. Oscar was wrong here, you didn't ask Oscar to rape you, right?"

Lisa shook her head. "Of course not! That's just crazy!"

"So don't blame yourself for Oscar's crime," Rangga added. "Lis, I know you're not wrong. I'm always there for you,"

The corners of Lisa's lips lifted into a relieved smile after she heard Rangga say that.. Then she hugged her childhood friend tightly.
