Chapter 12
12
I hid in a corner, not daring to call the police or tell anyone.
I tried to message Maxwell but deleted them over and over again.
Whether I should tell him was an issue.
I was afraid that he would dislike me because of it.
Most important, he was fastidious.
It meant that he wouldn’t accept me anymore.
If I called the police, all Maxwell’s colleagues in the police station would know that I was raped. By then, his future life would be miserable.
In fact, I knew it was wrong. I was a victim, and it was not my fault.
But under such circumstances, I really couldn’t bear it.
He said that he would delete the video as long as I didn’t call the police or tell anyone. Besides, I needed to give him 200 thousand dollars as compensation for the loss of his wife and children.
At the thought of it, I thought that no one would know about it if I kept it a secret.
I comforted myself that I would continue to live happily.
As for the incident, it was just a nightmare…
I pretended to be uncomfortable and wrapped myself tightly. Besides, I was very careful in front of Maxwell, trying not to reveal any flaws.
Two days later, I secretly gathered 200 thousand dollars and sent the money to the man as requested. He didn’t trust me, fearing that the direct transfer would be caught by the police. Also, if I regretted it later, the transfer record would be evidence.
I thought that after he had vented his anger and gotten the money, he would let me go.
I was spoilt by my parents since I was a child and then Maxwell after the marriage. Furthermore, I had never suffered any setbacks.
That was why I never thought about how evil human nature was.
