Seething, Fannie held her head down to hide her face.
Had Bobby lost his mind?
When the reporters had taken enough pictures, Bobby released Fannieâs hand.
â1f photos from today are out, youâll never hold a camera again.â
The reporters froze, the hostility behind his words sending shivers down their spines.
âWe understand.â
Bobby sat on the sofa, legs crossed, and waved them away.
âNow get out.â
The reporters scurried out, bringing silence back to the room.
Jett walked over to Fannie and untied the belt around her wrists.
â1â11 will take you home,â he said, his eyes avoiding the red stain on the sheets.
His words melted Fannieâs burning anger. She felt guilty and didnât know what to say.
When she had finished dressing, Jett held her close as they headed for the door.
Fannie wanted nothing more than to leave this place as soon as possible.
But as they passed Bobby, he called out, âCome here, Fifi.
His teasing was too much!
Fannie trembled with disgust and contempt.
Jett shielded her behind him, his expression grim as he confronted Bobby.
âThis is kidnapping and assault. Iâm going to put you behind bars for this. You just wait.â
Bobby cocked his head to one side, unfazed.
âHow do you know she didnât want to? She had a crush on me for years. Maybe she just went along with it to set me up.â
He emphasised the words âmany yearsâ, as if mocking Fannie for liking someone so unworthy. Fannie couldnât stand it any longer. She picked up a clear vase of water and splashed it in Bobbyâs face.
Bobby closed his eyes and smiled.
âLetâs go,â Fannie said, pulling Jett away from the hotel.
âLetâs go to the hospital first,â Jett said as they got into his car.
Fannie shook her head. She had no injuries other than her broken virginity.
More than seeking medical attention, she wanted to report the incident to the police.
âBobby didnât kidnap me.
It was someone else.â
Jett was taken aback.
âAre you defending him?â Jett asked, his voice sharp.
âNo,â Fannie replied quickly. âHe has no reason to kidnap me.â
Jettâs face tightened with frustration. âHow does he not?â His fists clenched tightly. âYour first timeâ¦â His words trailed off as he slammed the steering wheel in anger. âThat bastard! Weâll report him to the police. Heâll pay for what he did to you!â
