Bella's POV

"What's this?" I asked, raising a brow and not believing that lunatic of a secretary.

"A pregnancy test kit of course," she sighed and rolled her bulging eyes, chugging down her alcohol in one shot and screening her face because of it's taste.

"I know what it is. I mean, what exactly do you want me to use it for?" I asked, taking a thorough look at it.

"Eat it - Use it of course!" she yelled as she stood up and pounced on the dresser stool, toying with my makeup.

"Why? I am not pregnant!" I stated.

"How would you know that?" she raised a brow.

I stared at it before returning my gaze at her.

"Why do you have it, anyway?" I finally asked.

"I always have it because I always need it. Just to know - " she smiled.

Where did that tramp come from?

"So, what if I am or not?" I asked, not getting the point.

"We'll make a bet. If you are, we don't get to party tonight. But if you aren't, we party all night till dawn, intoxicated."

Okay, she had lost it.

"And what if I say no?" I asked, trying to act real smart.

"A deal is a deal," she smirked.

"What deal? I didn't make any deal with you!" I glowered.

"Did too!" she yelled and put her earplugs in and moving her head in rhythm.

"You're unbelievable!" I yelled and stomped into the bathroom with the kit in my hand.

What if I was? I was going to be toast. I still couldn't believe last night. What happened?

A few minutes later......

"Sally? Is that you?" I asked as I heard the door open followed by quiet footsteps.

"I have the results and I think - " I stopped when I didn't hear anything again.

"Sally?" I badgered.

Someone barged in. "Caden?" I yelled with my eyes widened in surprise.

"What are you doing here? Get the fuck out of here!" I yelled at him with knitted brows as I tried to hide the kit away.

"Is that a pregnancy kit? Are you pregnant?" he yelled, staring at my hand.

"Mind your business!" I shot.

"Mind my business?" he yelled.

"I am none of your business, remember? Our marriage is for the press only. So stop acting all sweetheart, when in fact you're not!" I sighed.

"Yeah, but the baby is gonna bump out through your belly and everyone will know" he reasoned and he as sure as hell was right.

"And who said anything about a baby? Its negative, you hear? NE.... GA.... TIVE!" I spelt out the syllables and trashed the kit in the bin.

"At least tell me why you took that. Did you do something last night? Please tell me!" he cried out.

"Caden, get out!" I yelled.

"You cannot be serious" he shook his head in disbelief as he folded his hands against his chest. I walked towards the door, my face straight to show how serious I was.

"I am dead serious. Get the fuck out of my room!" I yelled and opened the door.

"Mercedes - "

"I said, get out!" I barked and he scampered off. I slammed the door and slumped on the bed.

"Okay, that  was insane. I wish I got that on video. You were literally on fire!" Sally yelled as she walked out of the closet, clapping her hands with a wild chuckle.

No, no, no. What did I just do?

"What were you doing there?" I asked as I turned to her.

"Staying away from the L.Q, of course," she smiled with a little shrug.

"L.Q?" I mumbled with a puzzled look.

"Yeah, Lovers Quarrel,"

"Whatever," I sighed.

"Guess who's going to the party tonight!" she yelled excitedly.

"Who?" I rasped.
   
"You of course. The test was negative, right?"

"Yeah, but - "

"Leave it all to me. I've got you all covered," she smiled and slumped on my bed excitedly.

She was so impossible!

                                 °°°°°°°°°°°°°

"All done, gorgeous," she smiled as she got her hands off my face, dressing my hair a bit to the side and tucking it in perfectly.

"I look amazing!" I complimented, loving the makeup. Deep down, my soul detested her.

"Yeah, duh!" she sighed and put on her dress. A short red sequin gown with a little black purse hanging down her shoulder.

"So, are you ready?" she asked and handed me my bag.

"Yeah," I nodded and stared at the outfit I had on. Black shorts and a mini transparent vest. Heavy makeup of course, and black Lita boots.

"Let's go!" she smiled and we walked out the door, headed for the elevator.

"Mercedes?"

I fixed my gaze on Caden.

Here we go again.

"What?" I asked.

"Where are you going? The shoots will begin in ten minutes,"

"This night?" I raised a brow.

"You didn't come down for the one we had at noon. What the heck is wrong with you?" he ranted.

"Look, Caden - I do not have the time to argue. I'm really busy right now, so if you don't mind - "

"Why are you dressed like that!" he yelled, staring at my body from head to toe.

I stared at myself. "None of your business." I sighed and went along with Sally.

I didn't appreciate my tone back there. He didn't deserve that. But then again, it wouldn't matter much to him, anyways. Mackenzie was his heartbeat.

                                   °°°°°°°°°°

Music boomed in the bar and it was really loud and noisy with bodies grinding and bumping as alcohol controlled the air and intoxicated everyone on the dance floor.

"Hey, Des!" Cameron said excitedly as we hugged, his perfume giving me a warm welcome into his warm body, totally shaped with muscles and abs. I dreaded the moment we drifted and I lost all warmth.

"So, you came. Wasn't expecting you though," he smiled and offered a seat.

"Yeah!" I nodded and looked around, over anxious of the bar and the kind of people I saw having a heck of fun.
 
"Don't you worry, I know exactly what to get you!" he said and stood up to go.
 
"He is such a gentleman. I think I like him," Sally thrilled and poked me on my shoulder.

"Oh please," I rolled my eyes and toyed with my phone, getting bored.

Soon, Cameron returned with a gang of his friends, all having something in common. A perfect face and body.

"Hello!" They all yelped as they sat on the seats around us and all clustered against each other.

I felt so uncomfortable.

"Hey, pretty!" One of them spoke up to me, curling a strand of my hair.

"Hi!" I replied shyly with an awkward smile on my face.

"Take a chill pill. We're just here to hang," One of them stated and slid his hand to my bare laps, touching it eagerly.

"Please stop," I mumbled.

I stared at Sally. "So, do you have a girlfriend?" she asked one of them, curling her hair in her fingers and flirting with him.

"I'm all yours!" he shot with a wide smirk and they went off with a kiss.

"Excuse me," I snarled and stood up. "I'll be in the bathroom, Sally," I continued but I guess she didn't care much, from the way she played the tonsil hockey.

"Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Breathe!" I took my breathing exercise as I walked into the bathroom staring at myself in the mirror.

Suddenly, I heard the knob turn and waited for whoever was coming in. To my greatest surprise, I saw one of Cameron's friends.

"The male's room is to the right," I helped with directions but he had this smile on. That mischievous smile...

"Excuse me?" I called out as I grabbed my bag.

Uncomfortable with the situation, I decided to leave. I trudged my way to the door  but he grasped my arm tightly.

"Let me go!" I yelled angrily but he already had his grasp tight and quickly loosened his belt.

"I. Said. Let. Me. Go." I yelled again and kicked him. He lost his grip but then held on to my shorts. With a strong pull, he ripped a side open.

It blistered my skin and had blood flushing out. I tried screaming but he already had his hand to my mouth as he locked the door and shoved the key down to his pants. I gasped in surprise.

Forcefully, he pinned me against the wall and ripped the shirt off my body, kissing my neck and leaving me in pains as his body made the wound on my laps a lot more painful and the grip he had on my wrist made me cry.

He grabbed me and kept touching me all over. It hurt so much to know that I was being raped. Assaulted.

"Let me go," I cried out lazily as I could feel sweat pool on my forehead and a pond of tears form on my cheeks. My head ached. Everything ached, but all he could do was satisfy his  sexual desires.

Next thing, he continued the rip in my shorts and left me with only my underwear. Immediately, I punched him in the groin and he fell to the floor, moaning as his hands were pressed on the unwanted area.

"Bitch!" he yelled.

I rushed to the floor where my bag laid and grabbed it, running to one of the toilet stalls. Once in, I locked the door and turned on the tap, to prevent him from hearing my words.

With trembling hands, I grabbed my phone and dialled Sally. Her number wasn't available.

"Princess! Come out now!" he yelled and I heard him push a stall open. "Don't make me come get you - "

I quickened my actions and dialled Caden, my fingers trembling.

"Hello? Mercedes?"

"Caden! H - help! C- Caden!"

"What's happening? Mercedes?" he yelled.

"Princess! I found you already. I don't think i'm gonna be a good boy!" 

"C - Caden! The bar. The famous Dile's. P - please!"

"Mercedes! Hold on!"

"Here I come!"

The next thing I saw was the door burst open and he walked into it, seizing the phone off my hand and tossing it into the toilet. My heart shattered along with it.

He grabbed me once again and played with the lining of my underwear, having me hungrily to himself. Men are monsters!

What did I do? I was so doomed.
