Chapter 68

She soaked her aching body in a flower scented bath oil. She laid back enjoyed the scent and the warm water wrapping her in a warm cocoon. The water was getting colder and she decided to get out and lay on the bed for a while. She felt sleepy, but she knew she had to eat something, because she needed to drink her pills.

Cheyenne got up and reached for the towel just as she got hold of it she felt herself slipping and a cry escaped her lips.

Richie was dressing after he took a long hot shower. He reached for his shirt and felt his hair stood on end.

That was Cheyenne!

He threw his shirt down and rushed towards her room. He slammed the door opened and found Cheyenne lying on the floor. His heart came to a stand still when he took in the scene before him. She obviously fell while trying to get out of the bath. His brain froze up and he could only stood there, staring at her bruised body. She was black and blue all over and he felt a nauseous feeling welling up in him. He didn’t even notice her perfect curves or her beautiful breasts, things he would have noticed given different circumstances.

He kneeled at her side and whispered to her. She moved , but cringed when pain shot through her like a freight train.

Cheyenne realised Richie was by her side but in her pain hazed state she didn’t even realised that she was lying on the floor without even a scrap of clothing on.

“Oh, God honey let me help you up. Did you slip? Bath oil….fuck baby you are going to kill yourself if your not careful!”

Richie picked her up, she was as light as a feather. Cheyenne put her arms around Richie’s shoulders and laid her head on his chest trying to ride the wave of pain ripping through her body. She started shaking and Richie felt himself going into shock.

How is this girl going to get over this horrible ordeal without leaving any scars?

Richie reached for a towel to cover her.

“What in the fucking hell is going on here?!”

Jon’s pale face and furious look didn’t impress Richie very much. He had just witnessed a woman with more bruises on her body than he had hair on his head..nothing could take that from his mind… he will remember her lying there for the rest of his life.

Cheyenne stiffened the moment she heard the anger in Jon’s voice.

“Cheyenne slipped in the bath and I found her lying there. I think she hurt her ribs and her wrist again. I don’t need your ranting and raving now. Call a doctor.”

Richie sounded quite shaken and it was then that Jon saw the look on his friends face. It was a mixture of horror and concern.

Jon flipped his phone and called the doctor noticing his shaking hands.

Richie tried to lay her down, but Cheyenne gasped from the sudden movement. Richie cringed. Jon walked over and watched in horror as Richie lay her on the bed and the towel fell off.

“God in heaven!”

Richie’s head whipped up and gave Jon a would you shut up? Look.

Jon realised he said it out loud. Her stunning body was bruised all over. She had cuts on her legs, what the fuck? BITE marks on her breasts.. Her stomach was a horrible black mass and her thighs were covered with fingermarks..Marks fingermarks.
He caught a glimpse of her back and saw abrasion marks on her back, her back was raw…the carpet when the fucker raped her..

“I should have killed the fucking bastard, he doesn’t deserve to live.”

“Bro if you don’t keep your thoughts to yourself I’m going to chase you out of here. She doesn’t need it right now. Is the doctor coming?”

“Yeah, yeah the doctor is coming. Richie?”

Jon’s eyes flicked over Richie’s stomach and arms.

Richie sucked in his breath…blood. He was covered in Cheyenne’s blood.
