No, no, no!! She started to scream inside her head and fainted.

“Please stop! Please, I am begging you!” Aria screamed feeling like her body was in flames from the excruciating pain on her chest. The man just laughed and continued to run his blade down Aria’s inflamed skin, leaving bloody gashes behind it.
“Shut up, you stupid slut!” Ricky growled, as he slapped her across the face and made her vision blur.
“I can do whatever I want to you and there is no one here to stop me. I paid a lot of money so you can be my toy for the evening.” he whispered in Aria’s ear and then bit it harshly, almost tearing the earlobe off.
Tears were running down Aria’s face as her whole body shook from the need to get free.
What did she do to deserve this? The question kept repeating inside her head as she screamed once again.

Aria woke up to the sound of a quiet chatter feeling confused and disoriented. She turned her head slightly to the side and saw Will and Meg in the corner of the office talking, unaware that she was awake.
“Are you alright?” she suddenly heard someone ask from her right and turned around, but as soon as she saw the owner of the voice her face paled and it all came crashing back.
She had fainted. Aria had fainted because she had seen him, Will’s cousin; the same man who used to torture her.
The man suddenly stepped closer and tried to put his hand on Aria's shoulder.
“Don’t touch me! Please! Get away from me! Get the fuck away!” Aria immediately started screaming at the top of her lungs as she jumped from the couch, almost falling in the process and making everyone look at her in confusion.
“Baby! Aria!” Will shouted, stepping closer and trying to get a hold of her while she continued to thrash around, trying to get away from his grabbing hands.
“Baby, please calm down. I got you. I got you, baby.”, Aria heard him whisper in her ear as Will wrapped his hands around her and hugged her tightly. Aria’s shoulders slumped, as all the fight left her and she climbed into Will’s lap and started to cry.
“Just don’t let that man hurt me. Please don’t let him do it again.” she begged him quietly.
“What are you talking about, baby? What man?”
“Richard, y… your c... cousin. He is one of David’s friends.” Aria managed to stutter in Will’s ear and as soon as the words left her mouth felt him freeze beneath her.
“What’s going on?” Richard asked looking down totally bewildered.
“Why is your girlfriend acting like a lunatic?”
The room went eerily quiet for a second as Will looked at Aria like he had seen a ghost before he slowly sat her down on the couch and stood up.
“Are you absolutely sure, baby?” Will asked her, his face a stone mask and Aria gritted her teeth while looking at the ground and nodded.
“Aria, what is going on?” she heard Meg ask, looking confused and worried.
“Aria says that Richard hurt her a few years ago.” Will said quietly, but everyone managed to hear him.
“What!? That’s bullshit! Today is the first time I even met the girl! What are you talking about?” the man shouted enraged as his whole face contorted in an outraged expression.
The fear that Aria felt from the moment she saw him again was quickly replaced by a fit of burning anger. The memories of those awful years flashed through her mind, fueling it even more.
Those men had raped her, beat her, sliced her and insulted her time and time again. She was forced to be their slave, their little sex toy to do with it as they pleased, and Richard was the worst of them all, so Aria snapped.
“Shut up! You sadistic son of a bitch! You say you haven't met me before today!? Okay, then let me refresh your memory!” she screamed and took her shirt off. Her scars were then on full display for everyone to see, but Aria couldn’t care anymore as she pointed at the two long slashes across her chest. She saw the man pale slightly as recognition flashed in his eyes.
“Remember me now, ‘Ricky’? Remember how you used to pay your buddy David to do this to me; to slice me open and rape me afterward; because I do. I remember every single second of our little meetings. I remember screaming and begging for you to stop!” she was close to him now, her fists banging across the man’s chest, while Richard stood petrified.
“I remember you laughing at me and telling me that I was just a stupid little slut and that you could do anything you wanted with me!” Aria screamed at the top of her lungs, shaking in anger.
