Or it was, until I saw him.
When I met Mr. Neveah – Bill – I liked him instantly. He may have been seventy, but he didn’t look a day over fifty-five. His dark hair peppered with gray set a lovely silver to his warm, friendly eyes, framed by adorable crinkles at the corners. He stood tall at just over six feet and obviously cared about remaining fit as was obvious from his trim waist.
He carried himself with pride but not arrogance. He was definitely a charmer. Easy to talk to and so sweet and genuine.
Mr. Alden, the future GM of the team, was probably in his late fifties, maybe a little older. He was just as sweet as Mr. Alden, if a little on the dull side. He seemed to like Jax a great deal which is a good thing.
Then he called over his children. Except they weren’t children at all. His daughter was tall and willowy. She was probably eighteen or so and seem to carry herself with the confidence of someone much older.
Then I saw his son.
Now I stand in the ladies’ room trying to erect the walls I need to protect myself. To protect Jax. Because if I lose it, I’m going to have to explain why, and lying to him isn’t an option. He always knows when I’m lying.
I can’t tell him. If I do, it will ruin so much for him. It will destroy him and his career.
But I know I’m not strong enough to go back out there.
I close my eyes and all I see is him. On top of me, thrusting into me. Punching me in the face. Kicking me.
Finally, the panic consumes me. But not the paralyzing kind. The kind like I felt in the hospital that night. The kind that makes me hide. The kind that makes me run.
I left the bathroom with the intentions of doing just that when I’m pushed into the wall.
“Off so soon,” I hear the voice of my nightmares.
My chest heaves in fear. I don’t dare make a move. I don’t make sound.
He runs a hand up my thigh into the slit of my dress. Bile rises in my throat as he touches me. A tear betrayingly escapes my eyes.
“I hope you don’t plan on telling your boyfriend out there about us. He has a very promising career ahead of him, I understand. Sure would hate for him to lose it.”
I swallow hard to suppress a sob lodged into my throat.
My knees go weak as he begins to draw the skirt of my dress up higher. “I’m sure I’m going to enjoy this just as much as last time,” he groans as he presses his erection against me.
“Get the fuck away from her,” I hear a familiar female voice demand.
“Mind your own business, bitch,” he growls.
“How about I just scream to get her very large boyfriend and her very large brother over here? Or maybe I press send on this video and see how fast the press picks it up? A scandal and jail time won’t make your daddy very happy.”
He lets me go, and stalks to Tori. “Don’t fuck with me,” he says with intimidation. “Keep your fucking mouth shut, and I won’t come after you next.”
Then he stalks off as I slump to the floor in shame and fear as tears pour from my eyes. A pair of small hand frame my face pulling it up to look at her face. Her big brown eyes stare into mine searching. “Oh my God, Zoey. Are you okay?”
I don’t answer. I can’t find the words as I shake violently.
“Stay right here,” she demands softly. “I’m going to get Jax and Zane.”
My eyes widen in fear and I grab her wrist to stop her from leaving. “N-no!” I say emphatically. “You can’t tell them.”
She looks at me with worry and confusion. “Zoey, why wouldn’t you tell them?”
“Th-they can’t kn-know. He’s their new GM’s son. It c-could ruin their careers.”
“Zoey, that’s all the more reason for them to know.”
I shake my head hysterically. “Please, Tori. Don’t say anything,” I beg her.
