Chapter 5: Ken's Perverse Desires is Satisfied

Mirabel went to work and though she did not really want to leave her mother in the care of that beast of a stepfather, she still asked the three people she worked for as a part time housekeeper if there was an accommodation for a housekeeper who would want to be employed full time.

The first two did not have but the third said they could consider that if it became necessary.

For two days, nothing bad happened. They slept peacefully but Mirabel was determined not to let down her guard. She could never trust Ken anymore.She never trusted him from the start but now her distrust of him had taken a more drastic turn.After a week though, Mirabel started thinking that Ken may have decided to forget about his lust for her and focus them elsewhere.

That was okay by her. At least she could now sleep at night peacefully and not fitfully. Though the dagger she had acquired for the purpose of warding Ken off in case he repeated what he did the other day never left her body. She knew that she would always be prepared for any contingency.

Luckily, her mother had stayed off drinks for a few days and even Ken had been surprised and had decided to see just how long Mira would keep away from alcohol. He was really amused.

A day came that Mira was given more in her pay package for work well done. She was so happy that she bought liquor on her way home.

Miranda was disappointed when she got home to find that her mother was drinking.

'Mum, I thought you promised me you had quit?'

'Yes, I have but there is a reason for which I am drinking. I am celebrating an increment in my salary', she said slurring her words.

Miranda knew that she was getting drunk. She tried to take the bottle from her but she wouldn't bulge. Miranda was hungry. These past few days that her mother had been sober, she had helped prepare the meal and she had had to do other chores and then relaxed to a delicious enough meal but today, she reLuaed that she would have to cook in addition to other chores that awaited her.

Ken was no where to be found. That was not surprising since he would play with his girls till he was sure that the meal was ready and then he would come home to eat.

He did not take it lightly anytime the food was not ready before he got back. He would yell at everyone and her mother would try to placate him and he would take advantage of that to take her mother and go out into the night to buy anything he wanted as well as spend it on his girls.

Miranda had often wondered why her mother tolerated this. It couldn't be that she was totally unaware of his activities.

Once when she had said what she thought, her mother had given her a slap and asked her to mind her own business.

'Men will be men. Do you think that your own father was any better? Men are made to be promiscuous but that does not mean that they do not love their wives. They are just being men. The people who you should blame are the girls who accept them still knowing that they were married'.

She quickly got the food on the fire while she did some of the other chores.

Before she was through,her mother had passed out.

Miranda dragged her to the bed and covered her with the cheap blanket they had in the house.

She fished a little food for herself and dishes out some for Ken, coveted it and put it where his food was kept for him.

She was somehow tired that night. She had done more work at the houses where she worked as a part time domestic staff.

She could barely keep her eyes open after eating. She lay down and slept when she had kept her plate in the wash bowl.

Ken got home and went to where his food was kept. He ate with relish and afterwards,touched Mira and found she was asleep , then he got a whiff of alcohol in her breath and knew that she had drunk and when she did, it was not to take a sip. He was sure that she had passed out.

He went to Miranda. He had been impatient for her body since the last time he had tried to rape her but her mother had been alert.

He wondered what had prompted her to go back to the bottle that day.

This was an opportunity he was not going to allow pass him by. He got himself naked and grabbed Miranda.

She came instantly awake but due to exhaustion,her mind was still very foggy.

Ken did not say anything but tugged at her dress, trying to undress her. The fog flew from her eye and she stared in horror as Ken undressed her. He had her strapped with his legs and she couldn't move. In her exhaustion, she had not remembered to take her dagger. This would have been a good opportunity to stab Ken to death and she would have pleaded self defence but now she had nothing to defend herself with.

She tried to wiggle her body out of his firm grip but did not make much progress.

He was already naked and he had got her almost naked as well. She knew that there was no way she was going to escape this time.

She screamed but no one came to her aid.

He thrust savagely into her. It was just too painful. It was her first time and she was not lubricated.

Ken was past caring, nothing was going to stop him this time.

He thrust into her again and and tore through the hymen.

Miranda screamed and screamed. The pain was excruciating. She screamed till she had no more strength to scream.

'Yes, darling,scream in your pleasure. I know you are enjoying what I am doing to you. You have wanted it almost as much as I have', he said groaning loudly in pleasure.

'But I must give it to you. You are very tight and sweet'.

By this time, Miranda distanced herself from what was happening. Her mind was gone from her body and it was just a shell that remained.

She was unaware of what was happening anymore. If he was cutting her to pieces, she was no longer aware nor did she care.

With an animal groan, he spurted in her.

He looked down and her eyes were glazed as though she had passed out.

He was not remorseful. He felt it was his opportunity to have her as many times as he was able.

Looking at her and her firm body, he was aroused again and thrust into her again.

This time, there was no opposition because, Miranda had escaped from her body so that she would not have to feel the pain or humiliation of what was happening to her.

He took her three times that night and he passed out in exhaustion.
