Chapter 15: Fighting Off The Monster
"Call me Marco," he urged, his voice harsh as he stood in front of me. "I'm about to sink millions of dollars into your app. What do I get in return for my kind gesture?"
"Sir, the terms of your compensation will be detailed in the contract," I said, trying to keep my voice professional as I took a few steps back. “You can't be in the restroom with me. Please leave now. Your presence is making me uncomfortable."
He closed the distance and leaned in, his breath hot against my skin, making it crawl with disgust. "I know girls like you. You act innocent at first,” he sneered, his hand brushing against my cheek. “But for the right price, you'd open those sweet thighs."
Fury surged through me. “Mr. Marco, I'm not a prostitute, and I couldn't care less about your money. If you're here to collect some kind of repayment for your offer, you can fuck off," I spat, my eyes meeting his now furious gaze.
"I love a good fight," he smirked, his cold hands caressing my neck inappropriately. Panic rose within me. “Please stop, Mr. Marco," I demanded, slapping his hands away firmly.
That action made him angry, and his smirk turned into a frown. His hands gripped my neck tightly, almost choking me.
"From the moment I saw you, I knew I would do anything to make you mine. I've watched you throughout your stay, and I know you want me to,” he growled, tightening his grip, making it hard for me to breathe.
“No, I don't,” I gasped, revulsion surging through me as his tongue ran across my face. I tried to fight him off, but he was too strong.

“Please stop, Marco! I'm begging you!” I cried, using all my strength to push him away, but he overpowered
me.

"No one is coming to save you," he mocked. “This restroom is secluded, and Gabriel's in a long meeting. By the time he returns, I'll be done."
His words terrified me. The confidence in his voice told me this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this. I summoned all my strength and shoved him, trying to run, but he quickly caught me and pinned me against his body, yanking my hair painfully as he forced me against the vanity top.
“You bitch!” he growled, pressing his body aggressively against mine and forcing my legs apart.
Fear gripped me even more, and I screamed, my voice echoing through the empty restroom.
"Scream all you want,” he sneered. “The harder you fight, the more I'll enjoy taking you.”
For a moment, I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the mirror, and the sight broke me. Marco was a monster, and I couldn't let him have his way with me. I pushed against the vanity counter, fighting back with everything I had, my screams echoing in the hope that someone might hear.
“Get your hands off me! Stop!" I cried, my sobs growing more desperate.
Amid my tears, the restroom door swung open, and Gabriel stormed in, his face hardened with rage. "You bastard! You're dead!" he roared, charging at Marco.
He dragged Marco off me, his fists connecting with Marco's face in a relentless barrage. Each punch was a burst of raw fury, and I could only watch, shaking and sobbing, as Gabriel beat Marco with a vengeance.

Chapter 15: Fighting Off The Monster
“Gabriel, stop,” I pleaded, my voice hurt and broken. Even though I hated Marco and wanted him to pay for what he had done, I didn't want Gabriel to kill him.
Rodgers stepped in, pulling Gabriel off Marco. But Gabriel shoved Rodgers' hands away and continued pounding Marco's face until it was battered and bleeding.
"You're going to kill him!" Rodgers yelled, but Gabriel didn't stop.
I knew I had to step in if I didn't want things to get worse. Summoning my last bit of strength, I walked up to Gabriel.
"Mr. Storm, please stop," I whispered, my voice low and strained. That was all it took for him to pause. “You're finished... see you in jail,” Gabriel growled at Marco.
He let Marco go and rushed toward me, his eyes searching mine. I could see the fear in them. "Did he hurt you?” he asked, but I was too numb to speak.
“Clairessa, please talk to me..... are you hurt?” His voice pressed on, growing more desperate as his eyes scanned my body for any signs of harm.
I managed to shake my head before saying, “No....." but as soon as the words left my lips, the sobs followed, my chest heaving. The thought of almost being assaulted on what was supposed to be one of the happiest nights of my life crushed me.
"You're safe," Gabriel said softly, pulling me into his embrace. He hugged me tightly, and I sobbed against his chest as his strong arms wrapped around me, lifting me off my feet. I curled up in his arms, closing my eyes as I draped my arms around his neck.

I only opened my eyes when I felt my body sink into soft sheets, realizing he had brought me to my room. "Please forgive me," Gabriel whispered, his hands cradling my face as our eyes met. "I should have listened to you... should have protected you..."
Tears ran down my cheeks uncontrollably. "It's not your fault," I choked out through the sobs.
“Yes, it is. I invited you on this trip. It's my duty to ensure your safety at all times. I regret leaving you alone. I knew Marco was dangerous, but I never thought he was capable of something so sick and depraved. I should never have brought him here or left you with him." I watched as Gabriel blamed himself, the guilt clear on his face.
I held his hands gently. “Mr. Storm, if you hadn't arrived when you did, that animal would have probably... had his way. So I'm grateful you came just in time.”
"Clairessa...” His fingers wiped away my tears as he stared into my eyes. "When I got back and didn't see you, Rodgers told me you went to the restroom, and you'd been gone for a while. Then I found out Marco had left shortly after you. was wrong. I had to come looking for you, to make sure you were safe.” His hands tenderly brushed against my skin. “Tell me the truth, did he hurt you in any way? Do we need to go to the hospital?"
It didn't sit right with me-I knew somethin
“No, he didn't..." I replied, suddenly feeling ashamed as I withdrew from his touch. Curling up at the end of the bed, the memories of what almost happened replaying in my mind, causing me unbearable pain. I unconsciously began scrubbing my skin with my hands.
"What's wrong?" Gabriel asked, troubled by my actions. "Please talk to me. I want to help... in any way I can." His gaze softened, showing remorse and sincerity, a look I hadn't seen before.
"I want to get his scent off me. I feel my skin crawling," I mumbled, my fingers roughly scraping at my skin. I didn't care if I hurt myself.
“Please stop, you're going to hurt yourself...” His voice was gentle as he held my hands, trying to stop me.

"I don't care. I just want him off me," I sobbed, shutting my eyes, trying to block out the disgust and shame coursing through me.
“Look at me,” Gabriel said, lifting my tear-streaked face to meet his eyes. “We'll get his scent off you, I promise. Take a deep breath. Please..... you're safe now.”
His voice was calm, tender, and reassuring, making me pause.
"I'll go run a bath for you. Promise me you won't hurt yourself anymore."
I nodded weakly, watching as he disappeared into the bathroom. My chest was still heaving as I clutched the
pillow tightly.
Once I was alone, the memories hit me harder. My body felt numb, my skin still tingling with disgust. The
of what almost happened – suffocated me. I went from celebrating the shock of what had just happened – of what almost happened
funding of my app to almost being violated... it was too much. I felt like I was drowning.
I wrapped my arms around myself, rocking slightly as more tears streamed down my face. I wanted the memories to disappear....... I wanted to forget this ever happened.
What if Gabriel hadn't come in time? What if I had been left completely at Marco's mercy? The terrifying questions circled in my mind, reminding me of how close I had come to losing everything.
The bathroom door opened, and I quickly wiped my face, pretending to be calm as Gabriel stepped out.....
