Chapter 197
Rachel
“Okay, I’ll start at the beginning. I’m originally from Cape Town, South Africa. I ran away from home to get away from my ex husband that was very abusive and controlling. He beat me so badly I lost a baby and was under the impression I could never have children again. But thank God I was wrong.” I rubbed my belly I took a breath to give her time to asked questions but she just waited. “I got to New York a few months ago, my first week here I met a guy and both of us fell head over heels for each other.” Again I took a pause and waited, normally I would have had to answer questions by know. I was surprised. “I used the subway to get to the coffee shop where I worked, there was a guy that watched me everyday, he kind of creeped me out and always walked behind me, a block before the coffee shop he would turn into an alley way. I guessed he worked near me. I never told my brothers friend who I lived with at the time or Massimo that saw me everyday at the coffee shop.” “If I may asked you, why didn’t you tell anybody about him?” And so the questions starts. I thought “He just freaked me out he didn’t do anything and I’m in a new city starting a new life I didn’t want to make my problems someone else’s.” She made a note of that. “One night the guy I worked with at the coffee shop invited me to a club with them. We all danced but then a guy came from behind and started dancing with me the more I tried to get away from him the more he held me tighter, I tried to step on his toes, tried to hit him with my elbow but nothing worked until Massimo surprised me by coming to the club and pulled him away from me. When I got a chance to look at the guy it was the guy from the subway.” I stopped and took a sip of the water she gave me. “Something else also happened that made me forget about the subway guy.” I waited for her to ask what? But she didn’t. “The Monday on my way to work that same guy attacked me he hit me and kicked me and left me in an alley. If it wasn’t for Massimo that came looking for me at the coffee shop I would have bled to death in that alley way. I was so scared of dying there and no one knowing what happened to me.” I stopped and gave myself time to collect myself before I went further. “Massimo and his bodyguard found me and took me to hospital, he stayed with me the whole time.” “Sorry to interrupt Rachel may I asked where you sexually assaulted?” “Thank God no.” “He just beat me unconcious and left me there. I didn’t go see a therapist then, that’s why I’m telling you everything now.” “I understand.” “Fast forward to New Years eve, Massimo and I got married on New Years eve. It was a sudden decision we both didn’t want to wait anymore. The 2nd I wanted to go out and thank everyone for there hard work and help on such short notice. Massimo had problems with one of his enemies, let’s put it that way. He asked me not to go out but I was acting like a brat and went out anyway.” “Can I stop you there?” “Yes off course” “I need to understand why you said you where acting like a brat, what’s wrong with wanting to thank the people that made your special day special?” “Nothing is wrong with that, it’s just Massimo and his friend warned me it wasn’t safe but I still wanted to go out regardless. Massimo’s friend, Damon’s girlfriend went with me, Damon gave her a gun for in case there was problems. I got to the florist and bakery which I thanked then Danielle and I went for coffee, when we got out of the coffee shop, we both saw something was wrong, my bodyguard wasn’t at his spot and the 2 SUV’s we where being drive in wasn’t at the door. Danielle tried to act quickly but I was taken from behind and put in a car where they gave me a sedative, I guess because I was fighting them to much.” I stopped because I was starting to cry. I dried the tears from my eyes took a sip of water. “Take your time Rachel.” She said. I started my breathing exercise. Helen could see I was starting to hyperventilate and to sweat. “Let me put the air conditioner on cold just until you cool of” She did and in a few minutes I was back to normal. “You ready to continue?” “Yes. I woke up in a dungeon my hands and feet shackled to a bed. The guy behind everything came into the dungeon telling me he took me to get to my husband he wanted to kill him. They where under the impression my husband won’t strategize and just storm the house. Luckily he didn’t, by the second day the bosses bodyguard got very upset because Massimo didn’t come for me yet so he tried to rape me. I kicked and screamed but nothing helped, he knocked me against the head and I was out. The reason I know I was raped was the fact that I bled when I woke up. He did that another time and the 3rd time was when my husband and his friends came to rescue me.” I stopped because I was totally drained. “How’s your baby doing?” “It’s twins and they are still safe and sound, the bleeding was because of the roughness.” “I’m very glad your babies are still okay. Anything else you want to tell me?” “Yes” I kept quiet again. Trying to get the courage to ask what I’m here to sort out. “I’m struggling to have sex with my husband” I blurted out. “And we both need that intimacy I think me more than him. Last night he just hugged me from behind and I totally freaked out.” “That’s a normal reaction Rachel, you where attack not once but twice from behind, I would be surprise if you didn’t have an reaction.” “How do I get over what happened and go back to normal.” “Well Rachel there is no normal anymore, you’ll have to find a new normal. I can’t use a magic wand and let everything disappear, you’ll need to work through this. Step by step and I’ll help you. Is you’re biggest concern the intimacy?” “Yes I need him. I need him to take the other guy away. I need him to replace that memory.”
