It was the man who had shown up in the morning. I recalled the sound I heard coming from the source of water over the past few days when I caught him glaring at me in the eyes.
I was aware of the sort of activities he had been engaging with the rest of the women. Others wouldn’t stop getting in my way even when I had been trying my best to stay away from them.
“Get away from me!” I started retaliating against the man and was about to launch a power kick at him. He was surprisingly strong for a man who had been starving over the past few days.
“It pleases me the more you scream for help! Your man can’t even walk without others’ support! There’s no way he’s rushing over to your rescue!” he guffawed and started undressing me.
I was utterly disgusted as he continued running his hands across my thigh. Immediately after I grasped a handful of sand, I cast it in his direction. As a result, he shrieked and unfastened his grip.
When I launched a powerful kick in his direction, he swiftly grasped my legs and pulled me over to stop me from crawling away. I started howling in pain when I ended up falling and knocking onto a sharp boulder.
As soon as he crawled his way over, he rendered me incapable of motion and started guffawing once more. “I prefer having fun with a woman who’s capable of putting up a fight! Go ahead and continue retaliating against me!”
My shirt had long been torn into pieces as I needed something to bandage Christopher’s wound. Instead of ripping my shirt further, the perverted man ran his fingers through the torn shirt.
In the nick of time, I caught a glimpse of Crystal sashaying her way over. In a final attempt to get myself rescued, I yelled, “Save me, Crystal!”
Instead of rushing over to my rescue, she tucked her arms and pulled a face at me. When she made sure no one was there for me, she waved at me and marched away from the beach.
As vicious as Crystal might be, I thought she would offer her help. It turned out I was wrong and shouldn’t have gotten my hopes high.
“Are you seriously asking her to save you when she has tipped me off and sent me here? She’s your cousin, isn’t she? I’ll have some fun with her immediately after I finish the session with you! It’s not half bad when I get to have so much fun before dying!”
I couldn’t believe Crystal was the mastermind behind my misfortune. It wouldn’t make any difference even if others were nearby; they couldn’t care less about a stranger. To make things worse, I was quite a distance away from our base.
I thought it was a chance for me to run away when he started undressing in front of me. It was then he kicked me again. When I thought it was over for me, the man on top of me grunted and passed out on top of me.
“Eve, it’s fine!”
Immediately after Christopher pushed the man away from me, I rushed over to his side, wailing at the top of my lungs, “Christopher! Christopher!”
I repeated his name over and over again. When I was safe in between his arms, torrents of grief streamed down my face as I could no longer suppress the emotions I had been holding back.
“It’s fine! It’s going to be fine!” The man patiently caressed my back, assuring me that everything would be fine. Seconds after I returned to my senses, I regretted crying in front of him as that would make him concerned about me.
