"And it was actually you who seduced me, so don't ever dare to take my name," he warned, "I know you are a bitch and you seduce men, I have been observing you for a while, with an innocent face and an amazing body, you clearly know how to use them for your advantage, isn’t it, Sheharzaad? You can easily get into the pants of the bosses and get a promotion. Women like you are willing to sleep with the superiors just for a pay hike. One or the other, you would be coming to me for certain favours. Then why not today?" he said, and she spat on his face.

The colors on his face changed, making his face red with anger. His jaw clenched, and he got off of her.

"How dare you?"

"How dare you!" she sobbed, "how dare you!" she cried out, her eyes staring at the sky visible from the window in her room. "Oh God!" she again screamed helplessly, as if calling God for help. "Oh God!" she said again, but her voice was losing its strength.

"I've thought to be lenient with you, but I don't think you deserve that," he jeered with rage and stood up from his position, untied her hands before grasping her hair, and walked her towards the table, "now I'll bend you over this table," he gritted, "and fuck your ass," he said and tore off her kameez from the back, making her wail. He had waited for this moment for long; since he had laid his eyes on her, he had wanted to fuck her, and finally today, he got the chance to fulfill his desires.

"Leave me! You bastard, you pervert, Leave me! If you really are your father's son, then let me go!" Her pleas were not listened to by him as he threw her on the table and turned around to get her dupatta, through which he could tie her hands. He bent down to get the scarf, and as soon as he retained her posture and turned around, another vase landed on his face again, but this time around with full force, making his forehead bleed profusely. Sheharzaad gave him a push with all her strength, and he fell down on the floor, croaking in pain.

She hurriedly unlocked the door and rushed out, yet her peripheral vision had caught him standing up and lunging towards her. Only if she were two seconds late, he would have caught her again.

She rushed towards the lift but could already hear his footsteps coming behind her. She didn't turn back, or else it would have caused her to lose her courage. Her body was in fight or flight mode. She was running with all her might. She was fighting against the weakening of her body and continued to run despite the voice of the rascal reaching her ears. She ran with all her might. She could not allow anyone to destroy her dignity. She hoped there might be someone in the office who could help her out of this mess.

As soon as she reached the lift, she thrashed its button harshly and hurriedly so the doors would open, but they didn't. She felt the footsteps coming closer and closer, but the lift was not opening. She turned around and looked towards him. Curling her finger, she asked him to come closer, and he happily did. As soon as he was in her vicinity, she smashed her handbag that she had caught before running from the office on his face, making him lose his balance again. She decided to take the CEO's lift because it was available at all times. She dashed towards the CEO's chamber. Her fear increased tenfold when she didn't feel his steps following her anymore.

She pushed the button violently, but the door wasn't opening.

"Sheharzaad, I'm coming, you can't run away from me. I have waited for this moment for so long," he sung, threatening her, and her throat clogged up.

"Please open fast," she prayed, "Please open!" she banged the doors of the lift.

"The lift won't open, my dear. I have changed the settings," he said loudly, and her heart dropped. The stairs were far from the CEO's elevator, and if she went there, he would catch her. She could hear his footsteps coming towards the corridor.

She turned around, and he was already walking across the corridor and coming towards her. His belt and her dupatta were in his hands.

"Don't, please, don't!" She screamed and again pressed the buttons of the lift to which Rafay laughed.

He came closer and closer towards her, and she pressed her back against the wall whilst looking towards him. There was practically no place to run. She couldn't go anywhere; the only thing that could save her would be a miracle.

Rafay came and stood just in front of her, "We can have sex over here as well,"

She joined her hands in front of him, "Fear that God and let me go," she cried out.

"I'll have you, and then you can go," he smirked and nuzzled his face in her neck when the door of the lift suddenly opened, making Sheharzaad push Rafay away.

Rafay's eyes widened, and his face paled. Sweat formed on his head, and his body began to shiver.

Sheharzaad turned around only to witness that same man standing there with whom she crashed the last time. A ray of hope shone in her eyes, and she ran towards him.

"Please help me! Please!" she joined her hands in front of him while sobbing.

He looked at her and then at Rafay.

"Please (hiccup) save me, (hiccup) sav...sav..save me," suddenly she lost the hold on herself, losing consciousness that made her fall down, but before she could fall, his hand steadily moved and wrapped around her waist.

"She is lying, sir. I swear, she called me," she heard Rafay saying when she slightly opened her grey eyes and looked into his mesmerizing ones. She prayed that at least he would believe her.

She shook her head in a no, trying to deny his accusations before drifting into darkness.
