she had let Mr. Turner fuck her on Phil ’s sofa, all those years ago.

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 Caroline’s school reports mark her to be the best in her class in most subjects and her eyes always held a sparkle of intelligence.

“Mum, I need more books.” Caroline declared.

Jen shook her head affectionately “more books? We just bought a load last week.”

“But I read them all, please can we get more over the weekend mum” she asked “please.”

Jen nodded “Maybe, now go to bed and we will talk in the morning.”

Caroline’s face erupted into a smile “‘maybe’ always means ‘yes’ whoopee more books.”

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 ‘entertain’ 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 Jen’s 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 didn’t 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 didn’t even know if he still lived in the area, as she daren’t go near his house, but she hoped that he was all right.

She hated how she had hurt him. She hated how she hadn’t 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 Seven

Chapter 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 hadn’t 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 Matthews’s 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 couldn’t delay her exit.

“Well Miss Gilmore” he sneered “you will be on your best behaviour today?”

She nodded “I am looking forward to meeting the new team member.”

“You will hardly work with him” Matthews dismissed “he will be working with the sale team.”

Jen smiled, that was what she wanted. She hoped that this man would be an ally to her against Sean and Ryan. She saw Matthew’s glaring and quickly switched off her smile.

Matthews stood up and walked towards her “I want you stay late tonight.”

She inwardly groaned, she knew what that meant, and she had no one to watch Caroline. She would have to call her mother.

“I will have to get someone to watch Caroline.” She murmured “I will see what I can do.”

Matthews kissed her “Make the call.”

 

“Hi, excuse me?”

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.

“Hello” she smiled “how can I help?”

“I’m William Godfrey” he answered.

She blinked, Godfrey? Oh, of course, the new man, Jen stood up and held out her hand “Lovely to meet you, I’m Jennifer Gilmore, Mr Matthew’s assistant.”

“Lovely to meet you” he murmured and to Jen’s surprise he sounded genuine.

She coughed in an attempt to ease her beating heart and motioned around the room “well this is the office” she pointed to a group of people in the left hand corner “that’s Daniel, Chantelle and Zoe, they’re the marketing team, they work under Mark, who is on holiday.” She walked him over to Sean and Ryan “this is the rest of the sales team, you work under Mr Matthews and report your figures me to me.” She turned to the boys “which reminds me; you are late with the report again this week.”

“Opps” Sean muttered “was meant to do that for you, weren’t we Ryan?”

Ryan nodded “yeah that’s right.”

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.

“If you can get it to me by the end of the day” she murmured before turning back to William “well that’s everyone. As I said I’m Jennifer Gilmore and I work under-”

“Just about everyone” 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 “well I have never worked under you.” 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 “if you want that report you had better be nice to me” 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.

“What is the report she needs?” he demanded.

Ryan and Sean raised their eyebrows “the weekly sales figures” Sean replied “she 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.”

“So you haven’t done it?” Will asked.

“We’ve done it” Ryan answered “we just haven’t sent it to her. That way Mr Matthews will have to tell her off.”

“I beg your pardon?” Will asked, sure he had misheard, why would they want her in trouble.

“Ah I see” Ryan nodded “you don’t know about her, she isn’t someone you need to worry about, she’s just a whore. Mr. Matthews will shag her and that will make them both happy. We do it for her really.”

Will blinked and looked back at the Miss Gilmore, he had thought he had seen sadness in her eyes but he hadn’t 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 didn’t.

He had been furious with her when she had told him that she couldn’t 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.

“Miss Gilmore?” She looked up, William smiled down at her “hello, Mr. Godfrey, how can I help?”

“I wondered if you could show me somewhere to get lunch” he replied “you see I’m new to area.”

She glanced at the time, half past twelve, she would have to leave to see Caroline’s head teacher soon.

She looked back to William “there is a nice café just down the road;
