She had thought at the time that she had been doing the right thing but over the years, she realised the truth. She had given herself to numerous men, more than she liked to count, and she now knew that Phil was correct. Her start in life had led her to be predisposed to the life of a slut. That was what everyone called her when they fucked her and that was what she was.
At one time she had had dreams of weddings and children, more children, growing up in a household full of love and care. She knew that these dreams were about as worthless and she was. She had ruined any chance of true love when she had let someone, other than Phil , fuck her.
She blinked herself back into the present and waved at her daughter, all of Carolineâs school reports mark her to be the best in her class in most subjects and her eyes always held a sparkle of intelligence.
âMum, I need more books.â Caroline declared.
Jen shook her head affectionately âmore books? We just bought a load last week.â
âBut I read them all, please can we get more over the weekend mumâ she asked âplease.â
Jen nodded âMaybe, now go to bed and we will talk in the morning.â
Carolineâs face erupted into a smile ââmaybeâ always means âyesâ whoopee more books.â
Jen laughed as Caroline ran out of the room but inside her stomach was tying itself into knots. She would have to ask Colin for money, not something she liked doing but her a lot of her wages had been spent on new uniform. She would be seeing him that Thursday anyway, as her mother took Caroline for dinner and she stayed with him. They would either fuck on these occasions or she would âentertainâ his busy clients.
She slid down into the bath until the water rested against her chin, how easy would it be for her to put her head under? Easy enough, but she had a daughter to think about, and she would not let herself take the easy way out.
She had never seriously considered suicide but it did pop into her mind when she was feeling particularly low. She knew that she would never go through with it though; she had to be strong for her daughter. Caroline was the only thing that kept her going in life.
She had fPhil in love with her the moment she had been placed in Jenâs arms. She had stroked her hair and kissed the top of her head. Her mum and Colin had tried to take her but Jen had held firm, possibly the only time she had defied Colin, not wanting to miss out on a second.
Later, when they had been left alone, Jen had made a promise to her sleeping daughter. She had promised that whatever happened she would never let Caroline make the same mistakes she had. Jen would make sure that she was loved and cherished. Caroline would grow up knowing that people would notice if she didnât come home from school on time. Jen would notice if anything happened to her and would protect her from the evils in the world.
Jen often thought about Phil and what he was doing. She didnât even know if he still lived in the area, as she darenât go near his house, but she hoped that he was all right.
She hated how she had hurt him. She hated how she hadnât been able to deny her ultimate fate. Jen went over the course of events that was their relationship at least once every few days, still trying to work out what had happened. Whatever reasons she had given herself at the time for fucking around while she was with Phil no longer made sense. All she saw was the dirty whore that he had seen at the end of their relationship.
She got out of the bath and once again examined her hip, it looked worse than it had before getting in.
She walked into her bedroom and got into bed, letting out an involuntary sob as she did so.
Chapter SevenChapter Seven
Jen is twenty seven years old and is about to meet someone who will change her life forever, again.
She was running too fast, she knew she was, but Caroline had been late which meant that she was late. She was due to give someone an office tour and Mr Matthews would have her guts for garters if she was late for it.
Jen got to the office with five minutes to spare, she took a long breath in the hope it would ease the stitch in her side. She would have to explain how mornings work to Caroline again.
A quick glance around her office told her that the sales team hadnât yet arrived but she could see Mr Matthews in his office. He caught her eye and smiled leeringly. Since she had started working form him, nine longs years ago, he had become more and more abusive with his power. He hit her and mentally tortured her just because he could.
He knew that while she worked for him he could treat her how he wanted and she knew that he could stop her from getting a job elsewhere.
She stood and walked to Mr Matthewsâs office; she knocked on the door and waited for permission to enter. Once inside she tried her best to stay in the door frame so he couldnât delay her exit.
âWell Miss Gilmoreâ he sneered âyou will be on your best behaviour today?â
She nodded âI am looking forward to meeting the new team member.â
âYou will hardly work with himâ Matthews dismissed âhe will be working with the sale team.â
Jen smiled, that was what she wanted. She hoped that this man would be an ally to her against Sean and Ryan. She saw Matthewâs glaring and quickly switched off her smile.
Matthews stood up and walked towards her âI want you stay late tonight.â
She inwardly groaned, she knew what that meant, and she had no one to watch Caroline. She would have to call her mother.
âI will have to get someone to watch Caroline.â She murmured âI will see what I can do.â
Matthews kissed her âMake the call.â
âHi, excuse me?â
Jen looked up from her reports and found herself face to face with the most handsome man she had ever seen. His hair was a warm chestnut and he had ice blue eyes that sparkled with warmth. His face, which was perhaps averagely attractive, became beautiful by the soft kindness of his features.
âHelloâ she smiled âhow can I help?â
âIâm William Godfreyâ he answered.
She blinked, Godfrey? Oh, of course, the new man, Jen stood up and held out her hand âLovely to meet you, Iâm Jennifer Gilmore, Mr Matthewâs assistant.â
âLovely to meet youâ he murmured and to Jenâs surprise he sounded genuine.
She coughed in an attempt to ease her beating heart and motioned around the room âwell this is the officeâ she pointed to a group of people in the left hand corner âthatâs Daniel, Chantelle and Zoe, theyâre the marketing team, they work under Mark, who is on holiday.â She walked him over to Sean and Ryan âthis is the rest of the sales team, you work under Mr Matthews and report your figures me to me.â She turned to the boys âwhich reminds me; you are late with the report again this week.â
âOppsâ Sean muttered âwas meant to do that for you, werenât we Ryan?â
Ryan nodded âyeah thatâs right.â
Jen breathed in slowly to avoid letting her anger show, she had to keep her head in front of the new man. She looked at him and found that he was regarding her with interest. She found his gaze uncomfortable and looked away.
âIf you can get it to me by the end of the dayâ she murmured before turning back to William âwell thatâs everyone. As I said Iâm Jennifer Gilmore and I work under-â
âJust about everyoneâ Ryan interrupted before laughing with Sean at his joke.
Jen felt a strange anger fuel inside her and before she knew what she was doing, she snapped âwell I have never worked under you.â She bit her lip as she realised what she had done. Ryan stood up and walked to her, bringing his body as close to hers as he could. He leaned down and kissed her cheek âif you want that report you had better be nice to meâ he whispered.
Jen coughed discreetly and pulled herself away from Ryan. She turned to William and nodded politely before walking back to her desk.
Will watched Miss Gilmore walk back to her desk and then turned to his new colleagues. The way they had treated her had been abominable. She was a beautiful, young woman and they had acted like she was just a piece of meat.
âWhat is the report she needs?â he demanded.
Ryan and Sean raised their eyebrows âthe weekly sales figuresâ Sean replied âshe will need them for just after lunch time to send the regional report by close of business and Mr Matthews will want the office report.â
âSo you havenât done it?â Will asked.
âWeâve done itâ Ryan answered âwe just havenât sent it to her. That way Mr Matthews will have to tell her off.â
âI beg your pardon?â Will asked, sure he had misheard, why would they want her in trouble.
âAh I seeâ Ryan nodded âyou donât know about her, she isnât someone you need to worry about, sheâs just a whore. Mr. Matthews will shag her and that will make them both happy. We do it for her really.â
Will blinked and looked back at the Miss Gilmore, he had thought he had seen sadness in her eyes but he hadnât been able to make out why. Now he knew a little more and things started to become clear. He watched as she was beckoned into the office of Mr. Matthews and noticed the fear that crossed her face. That was when he decided that he needed to be her friend.
Jen winced as she left the office and sat down at her desk. She looked down at her knuckles, which were blooded and bruised after Matthews had trapped them in a draw. She knew that she needed to wrap a bandage around them but she knew that Matthews was watching her so she put on a brave face. Why did he have to hurt her so? He was brutal enough when they had sex let alone when they didnât.
He had been furious with her when she had told him that she couldnât stay at work any later than normal and had decided to fuck her there. Once they were finished he had taken her hand and slammed in it in the drawer, he had said that she would think twice before defying him in future.
âMiss Gilmore?â She looked up, William smiled down at her âhello, Mr. Godfrey, how can I help?â
âI wondered if you could show me somewhere to get lunchâ he replied âyou see Iâm new to area.â
She glanced at the time, half past twelve, she would have to leave to see Carolineâs head teacher soon.
She looked back to William âthere is a nice cafĂ© just down the road;
