Sofia and Rihana's flight was scheduled for 9 AM, so both of them left home by 6 in the morning.
It was Rihana's first flight ever, so she was extremely excited.
As soon as they boarded, she looked around happily, gazing out the window at the clouds and repeatedly asking Sofia,
"Look how beautiful it looks! We're really flying!"
After about three hours of travel, they arrived in Sorrento. As soon as they stepped out of the airport, Rihana jumped with joy.
People were watching her, but Sofia found her innocent happiness very endearing. When Sofia noticed everyone's eyes on Rihana, she quietly held her hand and led her to the cab.
Sofia had already booked a hotel online. She had also arranged for a taxi, which was waiting outside the airport. They placed their luggage in the car and headed to the hotel. Once there, they checked in. Sofia had booked a single room for both. They were tired, so they ate something light and went to sleep.
Next day, both woke up at 6 AM, got freshened up, and had breakfast at the hotel. Today, they planned to explore Sorrento. First, they went to one of Sorrento's famous beaches. The sea waves, cool breeze, and gentle sunlight brought a different kind of peace.
Sofia sat in a corner, gazing at the sea. Calm, deep, as if hiding an untold story within. Meanwhile, Rihana was playing in the water like a little child. She would scoop water in her hands and sometimes splash it on Sofia.
"Take this!" Rihana said as she splashed water again. Sofia smiled and got up, splashing water back at her. They laughed, played. After a while, tired, they sat on the sand watching the ocean.
After lunch, they returned to the hotel to rest a bit. For the night, they had planned to attend a light show. At 8 PM, they went to the show. The sparkling lights, beautiful projections, and music left them mesmerized.
In this way, six days passed by while exploring. Today was their last day in Sorrento. And tonight, they were going to the famous Elite Club, the most luxurious club in all of Sorrento. The entry charges were quite high, but Sofia had made all the arrangements beforehand and didn't tell Rihana anything because she knew Rihana would never agree.
At 9 PM, both got ready and left for the club. Showing their passes, they were allowed in. The colorful lights, music, and the noisy crowd – everything was new for them.
"Sofia, let's go to the stage. I want to dance," Rihana said, grabbing Sofia's hand and pulling her toward the stage. They started dancing. Amidst their fun and laughter, Rihana suddenly felt someone place a hand on her waist.
She turned immediately. A guy standing behind her, wearing a strange smile.
"Take your hand off, behave," Rihana snapped, pushing his hand away. But the guy placed his hand again.
This time, Rihana's face turned red with anger. She again shoved his hand off. Seeing all this, Sofia stepped in and said,
"She's not comfortable. Stay away from her."
The guy behaved even more disgustingly. He placed a hand on Sofia's back and pulled her closer, saying,
"Baby, why so jealous? I'll give you the same love. Let's go to the upper room, the club belongs to my dad."
Sofia got so angry that she pushed him away forcefully.
"Oh, so showing attitude, huh? Tell me, how much do you charge for a night? I'll pay whatever you ask."
Hearing this, Sofia's blood boiled. She slapped the guy hard across the face. The sound of the slap was louder than the music in the club, catching everyone's attention.
"Don't you understand? Stay away from us."
Sofia grabbed Rihana's hand, and they moved to a corner and sat down.
Meanwhile, the guy, trembling with rage, was joined by his friends.
"Hey Jack, who was the girl who slapped you?"
Jack's eyes flared with anger, "Now she won't be able to slap or anything else. Listen, grab both of them and bring them to the upstairs room. Make sure no one sees."
Back in the corner, Sofia was still fuming. Rihana tried to calm her down. Just then, a few guys came and forcefully dragged both of them toward an upstairs room. The club music had gotten much louder, drowning their voices.
Inside the room, they were shoved onto the bed. Before they could even process what was happening, Jack entered.
"So this is all your doing?" Sofia yelled furiously.
Jack smirked,
"Yeah, baby, all my plan. And now the real fun begins. Tonight will be the most unforgettable night of your life – a night you'll never be able to forget, even if you want to."
Jack glares at Sofia in anger and says,
"It would've been better if you'd agreed willingly. You would've gotten money too. But now, I'll do everything to you, and I won't give you anything in return."
Sofia snaps back at him angrily,
"Look, let us go from here, or else."
Jack cuts her off mid-sentence,
"Or else what? Tell me, what will you do? You'll vanish overnight, and no one would even know. Come on, let me give you an offer. Surrender yourselves to me.
I really like you. Usually, people interest me only for one night. But you – you're different. I'm ready to spend my whole life with you. Just say yes. I'll give you a luxury life, anything you want. All you have to do is fulfill my needs. So, do we have a deal?"
Absolutely not, Sofia screams.
Jack loses his patience. His cold voice now carries a dangerous edge.
"Fine. I tried being reasonable. But you didn't listen. Now, whatever happens next, it'll be your fault."
Jack pulls her close, trying to kiss her. Sofia tries to free Rihana, but Jack's friends hold her back. Rihana is also trying to push him away, but he refuses to let go.
Saying this, he grabs Rihana's hand and...
Tears start flowing from Rihana's eyes.
Seeing all this, Sofia realizes that fighting won't help – she can't take on so many people alone.
Please, let Rihana go. Do whatever you want to me instead – just let her go.
Hearing this, a devilish smile appears on Jack's face. Watching helpless Sofia beg gave him twisted pleasure.
"Fine. I won't touch her. But now you'll have to work twice as hard. You'll have to give me her share of love too."
I'm ready. Please just let her go, Sofia says.
Jack agrees to let Rihana go. Rihana shakes her head, refusing to leave, but Sofia urges her to go. Rihana tightly hugs her.
I can't leave you like this.
Sofia whispers in her ear,
"Try to understand, Rihana. It's impossible for both of us to get out of here. But if you escape, you can bring help. So, go."
Eventually, Rihana listens to her and runs from there.
As soon as Rihana leaves, Jack starts staring at Sofia with lust-filled eyes, scanning her body shamelessly.
"Something feels incomplete," Jack looks at his friends.
One of them brings drugs and says, "Here, this will complete it."
Jack takes the drugs and then forcefully gives them to Sofia.
Under the influence, everything becomes blurry for Sofia. Her senses start to fade.
"No more waiting, baby," Jack says, shoving her onto the bed.
He gestures his friends to leave. They all walk out.
Jack removes his shirt and gets on top of Sofia. She shuts her eyes tight – she couldn't bear to watch herself getting violated.
But God heard her prayers. Suddenly, the fire alarm starts blaring.
Jack panics and runs out, shirtless. His life was more precious to him.
Sofia quickly gets up and stumbles out – the drugs still affecting her. She staggers straight towards the hotel.
Meanwhile, outside, Rihana has no idea what to do. Then she notices the fire sensor.
An idea hits her – if she triggers the alarm, panic will spread, and maybe Sofia will be saved.
But how to trigger it? That's when she sees a guy smoking. She walks over and asks him for a lighter.
Luckily, the guy gives her the lighter, and she activates the alarm.
Chaos erupts everywhere. She even sees Jack running out.
She immediately rushes toward the room to find Sofia, but Sofia isn't there.
She searches everywhere, but there's no trace.
Eventually, she thinks maybe Sofia went back to the hotel, but even there, she can't find her.
Now she is terrified – an unknown city, no familiar faces. She decides to go to the police station and file a complaint.
