CHAPTER NINE

"Mom, when will you be back?" Lekky asked her mom, as she sipped her tea.

"Soon baby, I just want to visit a friend down the estate. Be a good girl while I'm away." Mrs Donalds kissed her daughter and stood up, she picked her bag up and head for the door. "Lekky Donalds, mom loves you." She blew a kiss her way and left the living room. Lekky smiled, her mom was really lovable and pretty, she took some of her features like the long hair that fell down to her shoulders, her fair skin, and the slimness of her body structure.

"Lekky Donalds." A voice called from behind, she turned her head backwards to look at him, he stood straight and moved his long thin legs, he placed a hand on the couch and the other on Lekky's shoulder.

"Uncle Solomon." Lekky looked at him, not blinking her eyes or moving away from her position. She wondered what he wanted from her this time.

"Did you tell your mom anything about me?" He asked staring intently into her brown orbs. "Or about us?"

"I don't know." She looked away from him and faced the screen in front of her, directing her full attention to the programme that was being aired.

"You're being feisty little girl." He sat close to her.

"Don't sit close to me." She told him.

"And what will happen if I do?" He retorted, smiling sheepishly.

"Just don't." Lekky warned wiggling her little fingers in front of him. why didn't she report him to her mom already?

"So, are you still interested in cooking?" He shifted even closer to her, making her completely uncomfortable.

"Uncle Solomon, you are too close." Lekky cooed.

"Don't you like it?" He sent her a wink.

"I don't." She told him.

"Lekky." He flung her up and held into her tiny arms.

"Let me go!" She yelled.

"Stop yelling, you'll enjoy it." He told her shamelessly, he sat her small ass on his already swollen bulge, he groaned and dipped his hands underneath her skirt, finding her pant.

"Let me go." Lekky smacked his hands and wailed not enjoying anything from what he seem to be enjoying.

"Shut up." He pulled away from her, "Why do you keep behaving like a kid?" He stared at her angrily.

"What is wrong with you?" She didn't know where the courage came from, she was so angry with him.

"What is wrong with you too? I told you, this is something you'll love." He looked at her, his eyes ogling all over her slim body, he licked his lips flirtatiously.

Lekky scurried away from him and headed towards her room, quickly he followed after her.

She got to the stairs and couldn't run anymore, he pinned her to the wall and held her arms.

"Lekky, I'm only playing with you I  won't hurt you. I promise." He moved closer to her not creating the tiniest space in between.

"Leave me alone!" Lekky tried to yank his hands away from her, but her weight was lighter than his. He had the upper hand here. "What do you want from me? If you don't leave me, I will report you to my mom when she comes back." She threatened.

"Oh wow, you want to report me?" He looked down and pretended to be lost in thoughts, then he raised his head up and looked at her.             

"So, I was thinking. Is it not better for me to do what's on my mind and leave here freely before anyone comes in." He grinned.

"I will teach you a lesson." He carried her forcefully and headed down the stairs again, she hit his shoulder but her tiny hands got weak in the process of fighting and he felt nothing at all. He threw her on the couch and she landed with a thud.

"What do you want to do to me?" She asked as tears streamed down her pretty face.

"Teach you a lesson and leave this damn house before Rose comes back." He unbuckled his belt, and Lekky heart jumped out of her chest. Was he trying to rape her?

"Why will you call my mom's name like that?" Lekky asked, not sure of the exact words to say at the moment.

"Your damn mom!" He laughed hysterically. "Your damn mom is the reason why I'm here. Living as a chef, why didn't I poison you all since? Oh maybe I was waiting for a day like this, a day to finally vent my anger on Rose's daughter." He laughed again.

Lekky thought of an escape route, but he'd catch her before she tried to open the door and run, going upstairs isn't a better option. She sat up but he pushed her back.

"Please don't hurt me." Lekky pleaded, will this crazy man sleep with her? She's just nine for crying out loud. She sobbed, why was he behaving like a mad man?

This was not the uncle Solomon that used to play with her, the one that promised to teach her how to cook, the one that did her home work for her. The monster standing in front of her was totally different.

When did he change that she didn't notice?

Or was he doing all the good things all this while so he could do the bad one today?

"Your damn mom ruined my family, your damn mom sent my father to jail." He tore her blouse and flung it away not caring where the tiny material landed.

She destroyed my life, I couldn't get a good life because my father was sent to prison and you are here enjoying all these luxury?" He moved closer to her and clenched his teeth.

"Your damn mom will pay for everything she did to ruin my family and she will pay with you." He laughed again, now he was showing his beast side, Lekky had never seen. She had no idea what he was talking about but from the look on his face, he meant every word.

"Uncle Solomon, please don't hurt me." She begged him again. "Mom will pay you back for the things she did. Please don't rape me."

"Rape you? I'm not gonna rape you poor baby Lekky. I just want your mom and you to know what pain feels like."

Why didn't she report him to her mom, when Michal told her to?

Who'd help her?

Why did she trust he will change?

"Please." She clasped her hands together, "I'm just an innocent young girl, don't harm me."

"Now lie down on the chair." He commanded her but she refused, he slapped her real hard and pushed her down. "Don't you dare refuse my orders." He tore her shorts, revealing her pink pant She was really tiny.

"I want to know how tight your hole will be." He laughed and roughly, he pulled her pants down. Lekky cried, she couldn't yelled cos no matter how loud she shouted no one would hear her. The main building was still far away from the gate.

"Fresh." He licked his lips. "Do you want to run? You're free to run baby girl."

Lekky said nothing, she secretly prayed that someone would come save her from this beast, she regretted not telling her parents, she regretted ever keeping his secret since the first day he touched her inappropriately. She looked at him as he pulled her pants down to her knees, she closed her eyes and prayed for a Saviour.

"You're fresh." He licked his finger and caressed her clitoris, Lekky felt strange the feeling was new to her. "You're so dry." He removed his hand from her private part and was about to dip his tongue deep down when the door opened.

Lekky looked up and it was her dad, a prayer answered. She closed her eyes and cried harder.

Mr Donalds was taken aback, he couldn't move his legs. His innocent daughter was laying helplessly on the couch naked! and an older guy was  bending down shirtless, his trousers almost falling out of  his waist and his head bent downwards.

What was happening?

"Daddy," Lekky freed herself from his hold and ran towards her dad with her naked body, she was sweating and crying. She fidgeted and her body was pale. "He..he..he...he..." She stuttered, and hugged her father tightly.

"Calm down baby." She wore her pants back and ran upstairs to change into something more decent.

"Solomon!" Mr Donalds roared angrily he clenched his fists he was ready to be jailed for murder. Solomon trembled where he was bending, he dared not look up.

Mr Donalds moved close to him and punched him on the face. "What were you doing to my daughter?" He asked furiously. Lekky came back downstairs well dressed in a long gown.

"I...I...I..." Solomon looked at Lekky with a pleading face.

"Dad, he tried to rape me. He said mommy offended him and he wanted to ... Daddy, he tore my pants and touched my..." Mr Donalds covered his daughter's mouth before she could finish talking.

"Are you alright?" He asked her, his voice laced with a mixture of concern and worry.

"No." She shook her head and cried more.

"Solomon, you're a bastard!" He kicked him.

"I will teach you a lesson, you will rot in jail." He brought his phone out and called the cops. He called the gateman in to take hold of Solomon so he won't escape, he called his wife home and lastly, he called the family doctor to come check Lekky.

Shortly after, Mrs Donalds arrived. The house was in total dismay.

"What happened?" She asked her husband.

"Where did you go to?" He was angry.

"I went to finalise the case we have in court on Monday with a colleague down the estate." She told her husband.

"This beast almost raped our daughter." He said with bitterness in his voice, he knew such thing wouldn't have happened if he was at home. 'Did he fail as a father?' his subconscious mind battled with him, he felt guilty.

"What?" Mrs Donalds screamed placing both hands on her head. "He did what?" The family doctor arrived same time with the cops.

"Here is the criminal." Mr Donalds pointed at Solomon, he couldn't say a word, he was embarrassed. Why did he ever tried to do that?

He bent his head shamelessly.

"He sexually assaulted my daughter, please arrest him. He almost raped her!"

"Young man, you're under arrest for assaulting a young girl and for attempted rape." The cop told Solomon, he stood up and roughly he was handcuffed, he didn't bother to argue,

What was the explanation to give? He knew he was doomed. Lekky's mom would make sure he rotted in jail.

Now, people would talk about them. The family that got jailed for raping Young girls.

He looked at Lekky and looked away, he shook his head before getting dragged out by the cops. The gateman returned to the gatepost.

"Doctor please check her for us." Her mom urged the doctor.

"Did he do anything to you?" Doctor Maxwell asked Lekky.

"He ..." She looked at her parents and sniffs "He dipped his finger into my..."

The doctor interrupted her, he nodded and told Lekky to sit down.

"He didn't put his thing into you right?" He asked.

"No," She told him, her mom sat close to her checking all her body parts.

"Solomon is a bastard." She cussed.

"Mom he said you sent his father to jail." Lekky sobbed. "So, he wanted to revenge what you did to him by raping me."

Mrs Donalds hugged her daughter tightly, "I have never ruined anyone's life. I judge the cases brought before me accordingly, I have never cheated anyone and that's why God didn't allow him to hurt you." She cried softly, she was really hurt. why will someone try to harm her lovely daughter?

"I don't know his father but I'm sure he was guilty before I sentenced him." She cried even more.

"I will recommend some drugs for you to buy for Lekky. She will be fine, she suffered a minor shock, her system is too young for what he did to her but she will be fine" The doctor assured them, he wrote down some drugs and gave the sheet to Mr Donalds.

"Lekky are you sore down there? Like do you feel any pain? How many times did he dip his finger into you and how many fingers did he dip?"  The doctor asked.

"A finger and it was once." She told him shyly.

"How did you feel when he did it?" He asked further.

"I cried." She told him and he smiled, she was really innocent.

"You will have to bring her to the hospital  for proper check up tomorrow but for now get her those drugs, she will be fine, Lekky take Care of yourself." He picked his briefcase and made to leave.

"Thank you Doctor." Mr Donalds walked him out of the house.

"Lekky, for how long has this been going on?" Her mom asked when her father was out with the doctor.

"Mom, I wanted to tell you but I was shy." She cried again. "He touched my bum one day when he was teaching me how to cook, he also called me into his room one day and told me to touch his peni..." Her mom covered her mouth.

"Its okay Lekky, but you should have told us what if he had done it?" Her mom scolded her.

"Don't blame the girl now," Her father walked in. "Lekky, I'm so sorry about what happened today. I will make sure that bastard rots in prison."

Mrs Donald looked at her daughter and she was grateful Lekky wasn't hurt.

"Henceforth, we are not employing any more maids in this house. Its a rule and its final." Mr Donalds told his wife.

"Yes honey, I agree with that." She hugged Lekky, Mr Donalds left the house to get the drugs the doctor prescribed.

Lekky knew she had to call Mirabella and inform her ASAP, she was thankful her dad came home at the right moment.

She told her mom she needed to rest and she didn't hesitate before leading Lekky to her room, she laid her peacefully on the bed and kissed her forehead and covered her with the duvet.

"I love you baby." She left her room.
