orgasm. Are you going to
tell me that I was raped? It’s an insult to all the women in the world who have
actually been molested and not enjoyed it.”
    Macy had heard about cases of
sexual arousal during a sexual assault. Unfortunately, she hadn't studied
further on the topic other than the few lines that were offered in the
textbook.
    "It's physiological,"
Toni said in reply. "You're sexual organs don't have a brain. They only
respond to stimulation. In role play, if you are tied up and whipped, your body
still feels pain even when you give your consent. In your case, it works in the
reverse. Your mind said no even if your body said yes.”
    “I don’t know whether to feel
better or worse," Valerie replied wiping away the snot that had run down
her nose with her shirt sleeve.
    “You need to stop blaming
yourself. The fact remains that you said no, and he forced himself on you,”
Natasha stated emphatically.
    Toni took a seat in the chair
closest to the balcony. “I met up with a guy for a blind date towards the
beginning of last year. He was sweet and charming. One thing led to another,
and we went home together. We had sex and afterwards I asked him to leave, but
he refused. He forced himself on me a second time. I never opened a case
against him because it was his word against mine. I had initially given consent
so…” she shrugged off the rest of the sentence.
    Natasha turned onto her back
and stared at the ceiling. “I've never told anyone about this. In my last year
of high school, I went to a house party and blacked out. I wasn't drunk. That
night I only had one drink and the next morning I woke up in a stranger's bed.
I didn't know who he was, and I couldn't remember going home with him. I was
ashamed of how irresponsible I had been, even after hearing over and over again
never to leave your drink unattended.”
    Macy looked at all three of her
friends wondering how she had missed the signs. Natasha never drank around
strangers. Toni joined a sex club and refused to ever be a sub and now Val…
"I know you guys think that I'm too uptight, but there is a reason for
that. My first boyfriend was a few years older than I was. We met in Ghana
during his business trip. He treated me very well. He took care of me and gave
me everything I ever wanted. He eventually asked me to move with him to
Italy... we were happy for a while. 
    "Things started going
downhill when I wanted to do things for myself, and the relationship became
abusive. I was with him for two years before I found the courage to get out.
That's why I chose to study psych and focus mainly on abusive relationships. I
need to understand why women remain trapped in that cycle so I can better
understand myself. ”
    Valerie listened to each of her
friends tell the tales of their personal hells. She couldn’t believe that they
were so normal. How did they manage to overcome their trauma? One thing was
clear - she wasn’t as alone as she had initially thought she was.

 
    Vlad stood on the other side of
the door listening in. He wasn't a fan of having anyone in his home and less so
of having anyone near Valerie. The only reason he'd let them in was in the
hopes that they could get through to her, a feat he had failed to accomplish.
Over and above stalking her every move Vlad didn't know what to say to her
without working himself into a murderous rage. Listening to the young women
speak about being violated in a similar way to his angel sparked that rage
anew. He wished he hadn’t let Keyaan die so quickly. He should have died a slow
and painful death for what he had done.

Chapter Four

 
    Vlad had always seen Valerie as
an angel, someone who was kind. A woman he didn't deserve to be with. When they
first met, he had told her that she would not always have someone to protect
her. The context of that situation was about everyday life and altercations
with people you were bound to run into who you may not get along with.
    After her kidnapping,
