Aurora's POV

It's been a week since Richards attacked me. I was so grateful from the bottom of my heart for all the support I received from Sebastian and, above all, Rafael. He made sure I was safely back at my apartment that night. Of course, I didn't tell my parents anything; I didn't want to worry them about it. Besides, thinking about what happened was still bothering me a bit.

When I got home that day I took a very long shower, I scrubbed my body until my skin was red, I felt so disgusted and repulsed remembering her filthy hands on me and how she rubbed her disgusting body against mine, that night I cried until no more tears came out, when it was time to go to sleep I felt very alone, I missed my parents too much, I needed a hug from my mom to know that everything would be okay.

The next day, I didn't show up for work, obviously on Rafael's orders. Even though I insisted I was fine and could go, they wouldn't let me. Sebastian came to my apartment to check on me that afternoon.
