40- beautiful posibilities

He had barely been able to fall asleep all night, in his head he kept repeating over and over again:

"Katlyn drugged you."

The nightmares had intensified again in the few hours he had managed to close his eyes. Now Katlyn's grotesquely smiling face was in the limelight, also the moment when she had toasted the blonde and the others, and when she drank the adulterated contents under the gaze of all those harpies who knew what Katlyn had done and no one had stopped her from taking the drug.

They had all mocked her, they had filmed her laughing at her situation. They had done nothing when those men had approached her knowing she wasn't in her right mind to defend herself and then .....

They had simply walked away...

Now the memory of the women walking away towards the exit had surfaced from her lost memories, how they laughed in amusement as they walked away leaving her at the mercy of the wolf who would then take her to that filthy motel to do whatever he wanted with his drugged toy.

Although she tried until her head hurt, that part of the night was still fuzzy, just sensations, foul smells and those hands touching her whole body. Even the silhouette was still a faceless black blob.

She grabbed the dress from under her bed and hugged it against her body. Should she file a report? Should she accuse Katlyn of being an accomplice to everything that had happened to her?

He looked down at the gnawed dress and her bloodstained underwear.

-No... she is a powerful woman, you wouldn't have any chance of beating her, it would only sink you even more- She said to herself to convince herself of that- Now your life is going back on track, don't screw it up...- She put the dress back in the bag, hid it under the bed and took her purse to hurry to her work.

She had to forget the past and move forward without turning around to remember that tragic moment in her life.

The day had passed as normally as possible for Helena, which had been a relief, because slowly as the hours passed her anguish faded away, concentrating on the administrative tasks that Alan had left her the day before.

Half an hour before leaving, her new boss had shown up at the office, as he had been absent all day, probably in some meeting, she thought.

-Good afternoon, Mr. Aller," she greeted him with a smile. - Would you like some coffee?

-No need Helena," he said passing by, but he stopped and turned to her with an expression that was indecipherable for the redhead, but that made him look different, without the positive aura he always carried with him.

-Something wrong, sir?

-Nothing serious, but before you leave I need you to stop by my office.

-Yes sir," she replied quizzically.

The last half hour passed and as her new boss had instructed, Helena came to his office.

-Did you need me, sir?" she asked uncertainly.

-Yes dear, please close the door.

Helena listened to him and walked to the desk.

-Please sit down, don't just stand there," he smiled trying to calm her down, although Helena could not feel relaxed. -Have they all left already?" he asked indifferently, shaking the liquid in his crystal glass with a deft flick of his wrist.

The redhead was puzzled by this question, but answered obediently as always.

-Yes sir, they're all gone," she exclaimed, swallowing her saliva nervously and lowering her skirt slyly, suddenly she began to feel uncomfortable to be alone with the young CEO.

-Would you like some?" she asked, referring to the whiskey.

-No thank you sir," she answered quickly, after knowing about Katlyn she could not trust anyone.

-Come on Hele, you look tense, have a drink.

-Excuse me sir, but is there something to celebrate? - she asked, making the man laugh out loud. A laugh that before would have made her laugh too, but now it made her even more uncomfortable.

-I love your cunning little girl.

Alan got up from his seat walking over to his secretary and standing right behind her. Helena was petrified in her place, not being able to turn around, but knowing that the man was right at her back.

She tightened her grip on the fabric of her skirt and stopped breathing.

She felt her boss's cool hand run her loose hair to her shoulder, leaving the nape of her neck bare, then she felt him come closer and speak in her ear.

-Now that I see you up close, I understand why my idiot brother had a crush on you.

Helena couldn't stand it anymore, that hot breath, that deep voice and that alcoholic scent just set off all her alarms, her body screamed and she got up from the seat away from her boss who laughed in amusement.

-Excuse me!" he said, raising his hands innocently.

-Mr. Aller, if you don't need me anymore I'll leave," she said firmly, swallowing back the urge to cry.

The amused face of his new boss was erased releasing a wild expression, his eyes now looked blacker than ever and in his mouth was drawn an expression of annoyance.

-My dear... I really thought you would be of some use to me... but I was wrong," he denied ashamedly.

-Sir?

-You're fired, Helena.

-What?" she exclaimed, her voice breaking, "Y-you mustn't be joking!

Alan sighed pretending to be hurt.

-I wish it was a joke, but I have to be professional, I can't keep you here just because I like you my dear, I've realized that you're not giving up on me, I thought the fact that you were my idiot brother's secretary would mean that you were good at your job, but I was wrong, I was naïve?

-but sir... What have I done wrong? Tell me and I can make it better," she exclaimed sobbing.

-Oh Helenita, I'd really love to tell you, but I've already made up my mind and I'm not going to change it.

-Sir... Alan..." she said trying to move the man, "You can't do this to me, I gave up my job to come with you... And it's my fault?

-And it's my fault?" he growled quickly approaching the tiny woman, making her back away scared when she saw that her nice boss now looked like a hungry animal "I didn't force you to come here, now take the consequences".

-How can you do this to me!" she protested in tears, hitting the man's chest, which to him was only caresses.

Alan began to laugh amused at the scene the redhead was making for herself.

-Just look at you!!! Stop humiliating yourself, will you? And get out of my company now," he exclaimed, grabbing the young woman's wrists, getting dangerously close to her face, "You're nothing but a whore, don't forget that.
