Chapter 31

Roxanne

Since that confrontation between Derek and Lucas, I haven't been able to get a hold of Lucas. He'd been ignoring my calls and texts. Just as I feared before all this, I knew a meeting between the two men would ruin everything for me, and now it was all happening.

However, amidst everything that'd been going on, Derek had been blowing up my phone with endless calls and texts. I had decided not to acknowledge any of them. If he hadn't shown up and messed things up with his arrogant attitude, there wouldn't have been a problem.

The plan with Lucas had gone really well until he showed up. Now, he'd fucked everything up. Derek was the reason for every trouble I had found myself in over the past months, why would I want to speak to him. He was crazy to think I would pick up his calls or agree to meet him after all that he'd done.

Over the past few days, all I'd been thinking about was how Lucas must be very disappointed in me. He must think very lowly of me now after that incident at the company. A flush of embarrassment flooded my entire being as I thought about this while I walked back to my dormitory after ending classes for the day.

Just as I thought about this, Derek showed up before me at the entrance of my dormitory. Even though I wanted so badly to scream out my lungs that this man should leave me alone, I kept mute and tried to ignore him. I quickened my steps towards the main gate but Rose and a few of our friends called out to me.

"Roxanne!" I heard Rose's voice calling out. It was bad timing. Why would Derek be such a lucky guy? Now, he could catch up with me and stop me from going inside without speaking to him. I turned and walked back to Rose and the girls coming toward me.

"Hey, what's up?" One of the girls with Rose greeted me as they got closer to me. I knew her only by her face. I never found out what her name was since we've been together at the dormitory.

Derek had gotten closer too. And now he was about to speak. I felt like being swallowed completely by the ground as he opened his mouth to say something.

"Hello, ladies." He said, smiling. I had never seen him with such a friendly smile before. He almost looked as though he genuinely meant it. But I knew better. He was only pretending because he was in the presence of my friends. Once we're both alone, he would go back to the real Derek.

The girls' attention immediately turned to him. A couple of them had already started talking suggestively to him with their eyes.

"I remember you," Rose said. "From the other day. You're Rose's boss."

Derek turned to give me a funny look after Rose said those words. Then he turned back and answered, "Boss? Yes, I remember you too. You're Rose's friend."

"More like a best friend," Rose said with a big smile. She seemed to be enjoying this, and it made me sick to my stomach. She didn't know the kind of person Derek was. He wasn't the kind of guy that you could get friendly with after meeting him for the first time. "I'm also her roommate, by the way," Rose added enthusiastically.

"Nice, nice," Derek said. Then he proceeded to shake hands with each of the girls, giving them a sweet smile as he did so. I couldn't take any more of it, so I cut in,

"You girls should go on without me. There's an urgent work thing we need to clear up quickly."

I instantly grabbed Derek by the arms and pulled him away towards his car that I'd sighted in the parking lot as he went on with his annoying pretense.

"So, this is what it takes to get you to acknowledge me?" He said with a boyish smile as soon as we were away from the girls.

"You shouldn't make a habit of showing up in my school. It could land me in trouble. That seems to be your forte anyway, landing me in trouble."

"You should have picked up your phone. I wouldn't have had any reason to show up here." He said plainly. The real Derek was coming back gradually.

We are now just by his car. He unlocked the car's doors and waited for me to get in before he came in.

"So what?" I asked with exaggerated irritation.

"If you'd checked my messages, you would have found out that I wanted you to come over to the villa." He said. Immediately, he turned on the engine and drove away.

Once we were inside the villa, Derek asked rather softly, "Tell me Roxanne, have you violated our agreement? After what happened the other day, I think there's a need to ask on my part. I need to know if you still remain mine, and mine alone."

Everything about him temporarily changed as he spoke those words. O could see his whole expression filled with raw emotions. I was initially inclined towards not answering his question. I wanted to make him wonder. But the emotions on his face made me change my mind.

I decided to, at least, give a one-word reply. "No," I said stiffly.

His face was flushed with sheer relief. I realized something that suddenly made me a little unsettled, Derek was genuinely in love with me. It was the only logical reason why he was behaving like this. I felt like I could go crazy, but I tried to keep calm.

I could only stare back at him as he stared at me. He moved closer and pushed me onto the bed and enclosed his body over me. We both didn't break our stares as he did all this. He kept at that position over me for a moment. We both couldn't hold back. Our eyes spoke to one another about so much in that short time than we both had done since we'd known each other.

Though my brain said otherwise, I couldn't hold back as I drew his head closer with a movement of my hand and kissed him. It was gentle and filled with love. Pure affection that had grown strongly between us two in spite of our differences. A wave of warmth flushed through my body as I struggled to control my emotions.

Finally, my brain intervened and I realized how dangerously deep I was going. It wasn't what I needed at this point in my life, not with Derek. I pulled away instantly.

"No!" I yelled. "Our agreement was just three years. After that, I'm free to go. We can't have more than that. You made sure you got that part across to me the first time you offered the proposal. It's also all I could afford to give. It's best if we stick to that." I continued to rant for about a minute before I paused and took a look at Derek.

I could see that he was visibly affected by all that I had just said. My words appeared to have stabbed him painfully and he wasn't able to hide it. It was a shocking realization to experience how much effect I had on this man.

A moment later, he hardened his face and moved closer to me. He pulled me in and hugged tightly at me. He became restless and frantic, forcing my back against the bed and getting on top of me. This was the Derek I was most familiar with. He had slipped back to his previous self and I knew I had largely played a part in it.

With very quick movements, he pulled up my skirt and shifted my pants. I didn't know how but his cock was already in me before I knew it. I was awakened by his hardness. He began to thrust violently into me without giving me a chance to prepare myself for his fullness.

His thrusts began to feel pleasurable when he picked up the pace and fell into a rhythm. I moaned out loudly with every deep penetration into my pussy. I was losing control of myself and there was nothing I could do to help it. His cock had taken complete possession of my body and I was being suffocated by his whole being.

As Derek pushed in deeper, I had an epiphany. I realized that I was gradually losing, not only my body, but my whole life to this man. He would always do what he wanted regardless of my wishes. I knew I needed to do something quickly before I became completely owned by him. The only solution is that I leave him. And I made up my mind to do exactly just that.

I thought about all this, even after I was back at the dormitory. I was seated casually by the small table and chair in my room as I scrolled aimlessly through the news on my computer.

A photo on the computer screen suddenly caught my attention. I clicked on it and quickly scrolled past the headline that read "Widower Murdered In His House". I covered my mouth with my hands in shock as I confirmed what I'd initially seen. It was the picture of my father's friend that I had gone to see the other day. He'd been killed in his house shortly after that meeting.

Before the news sunk in, a pop-up appeared on the laptop's screen. It was a video with the caption "OMG!!!" I opened it quickly. It was the last thing I could have ever expected in my life.

There it was. A video of Derek fucking the hell out of me as I screamed like a slut.

A loud gasp came out of me. "Fuck!"
