Chapter Two

BELLA POV

I could hear the whispers as soon as I got to college the next day, people were in groups and each time I walks past, they were staring at me and laughing, some even dared to look at me with lust filled gaze

"Bella, what happened to your phone? I have been trying to reach you" My best friend Ana asked frantically as she ran towards me.

I frowned, my insides tensed as I stared at her.

"There was a power cut in our house and I couldn't charge my phone, my battery is dead, what's up?”

"I have something to show you" Ana said frantically as she dragged me by my arms to a corner

I was already feeling so apprehensive, something is definitely wrong.

"What's going on Ana? I don't understand why people are staring at me that way." My voice trembled even as I asked the question.

"Look at this and you'll understand" Ana replied, shoving her phone into my hand, the first picture that I sighted had my stomach tightening in hard knots.

My breath came out in painful gasp as I quickly scroll across several photos, they are photos of my nudes and it was on the internet.

“Jeremy!” I gasped painfully, no wonder they were all staring at me like that, Jeremy put my nudes on the internet

"That's not all" Ana said, her tone sympathetic as she opened another sight and I gasped and would have fallen if not for Ana's arms that suddenly went around me to steady me. This one was a video, even though I had refused him to make a video of us yesterday, he had secretly done it and it was all over the internet.

I felt bile rise to the back of my throat and I wished this was a nightmare that I would suddenly wake up from.

"Moan for me baby" A student teased me and others laughed.

I felt like my world was crumbling, how could Jeremy do such a thing to me?

"You have such a beautiful skin" another student teased.

"Are you okay?" Ana asked, she was the only one showing sympathy to me.

I shook my head as if to deny what I had just seen on the internet and took several steps back as the laughter and teases of students rang in my head. I ignored Ana who was trying to cheer me up and turning on my heels, I bolted away from college with tears streaming down my cheeks.

BELLA

"You are such a disgrace to this family. What have we done wrong by bringing you in to live with us?" my aunt's husband, Ben, raged at me the moment I stepped into the house after returning from college. I just wanted to rush into my room and shut myself away, but unfortunately, I ran into all of them in the living room. One look at their faces and I knew—they had seen the video.

"Bella, how could you allow that boy to record you while..." my aunty Christy burst into tears before she could even finish the sentence. Shame washed over me. I hated myself for bringing distress to my family.

"I didn’t consent to him making that video, aunty," I said quietly.

"Oh, please shut up, you slut," Ben snapped, pointing a finger at me with rage in his eyes.

"Ben, please, don’t call her that.” Aunt Christy cried, burying her face in her hands as she sobbed.

My heart broke to see my aunt in such condition and it pained me even more that she was like this because of me.

"Of course I’ll call her that. She is nothing but a slut. Didn’t you see the way she was moaning in that guy’s arms? Exactly like a slut." Ben snapped.

"Please, uncle, I’m begging you, stop. I never gave him permission to record me. He did it and uploaded it without my consent," I cried.

"If that’s the case, then we are going to file a complaint against that wretched guy.” Aunt Christy said angrily, banging her palms against the table.

"Did you just say file a complaint? So we can be more of a laughingstock than we already are?" Ben interrupted angrily.

Just then, the front door opened and Jesse, my aunt’s only child, walked in.

"Mum, Dad, I was so embarrassed in school today when I saw a video of Bella and... arrrghhh!" he screamed, too angry to finish his sentence. "I even got into a fight! You’re so embarrassing!" he yelled at me before stomping into his room.

"We are not going to file any complaint and that’s final. Your niece is a slut, and I don’t want

to see her in my house again," Ben spat before storming off.
