Carlo was torn between staying with the injured Lily and running to save Sami. He waited anxiously for ambulance that felt like was never coming. Time was passing like a flash and he needed to get Sami away from Aidan. Carlo bent over Lily and caressed her face .She was beautiful and he immediately was attracted to her. She was the boss's best friend, which meant she was family. Carlo never mixed business with pleasure but he wanted now. He decided he wouldn't abandon her like person who hit her. Carlo examined her car and clearly she was side swiped And knocked off the road intentionally. Yes Carlo made a choice but he knew his choice would haunt him for a long time to come. Aidan continued to remove Sami's shirt to reveal her laced bra and her round breasts. Aidan was clearly impressed. He continued to kiss her exposed chest. Sami continued to wince as Aidan barraged her with his free hand. Sami closed her eyes and wished she were anywhere else in a coma anything. Aidan could feel her Resistance. Aidan looked at her and smiled "You know this will be a lot better if you just give in." Aidan chided Sami glared at him. He knew full well she was not going to give in and betray EJ. If he wanted her he had to take her against her will she wouldn't fight but she wouldn't engage either. She would just lie there and let him just deal with it. To Sami the minutes felt like hours with Aidan toying her going very slowly as if to savor every torturous moment.
Ej was angered that Sami was missing too and feared the worse. His men were coming up empty to find Aidan .He wasn't thrilled at all. He continued to call Lily's cell phone and all he got was voicemail. EJ was frustrated. Stefano decided to chime in. "Elvis you know your wife can be impulsive maybe she decided to look for Brendan on her own." Stefano said trying not to smile. EJ knew he was right.
Samantha usually acted without thinking but taking off and not telling really pissed him off. She couldn't do this alone. She wasn't with Lily as clearly he heard on the cell phone. Which left one other choice she was out looking for Aidan alone.
Carlo wasn't picking up his phone. Yes Ej was thinking the worse but he couldn't fathom how nefarious Aidan's plot really was.
Aidan began to go move his hands to Sami's pants and Sami realized no one was coming for her. Not Carlo, not Lily, not even EJ. She would have to go through with what Aidan wanted and that was her having sex with him. She was far from willing but she clearly had no choice. Aidan pulled away and kissed her lips she pulled her head away. He laughed he admired her persistence not to give into his advances.
"How about we have a drink to ease your nerves because clearly this is going to be a very, very long night because I don't plan on letting you go anytime soon. " Aidan promised. Sami knew there was no turning back now she would comply. Aidan kept the gun on her as he pulled out a bottle of wine and poured some into two glasses. Aidan handed her one of the glasses and took the other. Sami looked at the wine and decided she was going to chug it. Aidan never took a sip from his and watched her drink the glass of wine in one gulp. Aidan smiled Sami fell right into is trap. Sami began to feel funny and realized he tricked her. Aidan spiked the wine.
Sami tried to maintain her sense but clearly he drugged her. Sami couldn't keep her eyes open. She felt her body get loose and relaxed. He gave her something because he knew he couldn't have her any other way. Sami closed her eyes and whispered, "I'm sorry Ej for betraying you. I love you." Aidan laughed as he watched her pass out o the couch. "Tonight you're all mine and will be forever. EJ isn't here and he wont be I've seen to that." Aidan teased
The ambulance finally came and they examined Lily but so did the police.
Carlo clearly wasn't getting out her anytime soon. He would have to answer the police questions about the accident. He looked up at the sky and said, "Please let me be in time to save .
In the DiMera home EJ's cell phone rang it was a blocked number. He shushed everyone in the room before he answered. "This is EJ DiMera." He answered anxiously. A male voice answered, "This is Vincent Santucci we need to talk. I hear you're still looking for my brother, your son and your wife. I have some information for you. "Vincent said calmly EJ looked at the phone and sighed, "Go on tell me."
Vincent then answered "No you're going to want to hear this face to face in my hospital room. " EJ's face went pale "Okay I will be right there."
EJ barked orders and told his father about is conversation. Stefano knew what Vincent had to say wasn't going to be good for Sami. Stefano then said, "I will stay here with the children .You go and find out what that credent has to say."
Ej kissed his father on his forehead and ran out the door to the hospital.
Ej mind was going 1000 miles in a second. "What did Vincent have to tell him?"
Ej asked little did he know he wouldn't like the answer.
Sami woke up and she was naked. She had a bad taste in her mouth and she could smell him on her. She sprung up to see if Brendan was okay. He was still sleeping.
Did Aidan give him something too? She got up immediately to check on him the portable playpen. She checked him he was fine. Sami realized she was naked and let out a muffled scream covering her mouth. She examined her body there was no bruises but clearly her clothes were missing. She also realized so was Aidan.
She wrapped the sheet around her and looked around the cabin. She found a note by the bottle of wine and it said." Dearest Santini you were magnificent last night. I never loved you more. You belong to me and you always will. No go home and tell your husband its over or I will. You're my wife and your place is with me. I will love you forever Aidan" Sami began to sob as she crumbled the note. Her mind was racing. He raped her. She looked at her body again disgusted ran to the bathroom
And threw up in the toilet. "No, No, no this can't be happening? My god Ej will never forgive this. There's no way he will, I know there's not. It's my word against his. Ej wont believe him." Sami sank to the floor covered her mouth and continued to sob uncontrollably. Sami got up and let the blanket fall to the floor turned on the shower and stepped in. She began to scrub her body to wash away what Aidan had done. The smell of him. She closed her eyes and all she could do was see him. She could feel him all over her. She continued to cry. Parts of her skin was bleeding
Sami sank to the floor of the shower. She held her head in hands and sobbed, "This is all my fault, this all my fault." She lay on the floor of shower and continued to mumble and tremble for what seemed like forever.
Carlo finally finished the questioning and jumped in his car. He sped towards Sami's location. He busted open the door and evaluated the room. Brendan was in a portable playpen playing quietly. Carlo heard a muffled cry and ran towards it.
Carlo gasped at the site before his eyes. Sami was laying at the bottom of the shower shivering, bleeding and in shock. Carlo grabbed the blanket and turned off the shower and coverer up her naked body. Sami jerked away from him.
" it's me Carlo." Carlo said softly Sami grabbed his shirt "Carlo its all my fault, its all my fault." Sami squealed Carlo bit his lip "What did that monster do to you?" Carlo sounded angry. Sami looked in his eyes "Carlo he raped me and I let him. I came here thinking I was going to convince him to let us go but he wasn't going to do that. How could I do that I'm so stupid. He was going to hurt Aidan I had to let him but he tricked me and drugged me. I woke up naked and he was gone." Sami began to sob again and rocking in place.
Carlo picked her up and carried her to the living room. "We need to take you to the hospital and get you looked at." Carlo demanded Sami gasped." No, No Carlo no one can know what happened especially not EJ. You have to swear to me please. Carlo look at me No one can know, no doctors no one if EJ finds out what Aidan did he will kill him and my family could be killed by the Santucci. This is my entire fault and what happened to me is my doing. Sami pleaded Carlo was taken aback by Sami's confession. "We can't keep this from he deserves to know what happened and you had no choice. Keeping this secret will eat you alive. I'm sorry I have to call " Carlo said adamantly Sami grabbed his hand please, please
Carlo doesn't do that this will kill EJ. If you tell I wont go back home I will leave and go somewhere no one knows me. I'm ashamed of what I let happen and that will be my burden to bear not anyone I love." Sami began to hyperventilate Carlo realized he was caught between a rock and a hard place. " I will agree to that only if you let Dr. Carver look at you." Carlo demanded Sami held his hand "No One else Carlo and I mean no one." Sami demanded
Carlo took Brendan and fed while Sami got dressed in the bedroom.
Lexie came immediately when Carlo called.
She knocked on the door and Sami jumped out of her skin.
Sami took a deep breath and spoke "Come in Lexie." Sami looked disheveled and battered. Lexie gasped at the site of seeing Sami this way. Sami held back her tears
As Lexie pulled out her doctors bag. Lexie came closer to Sami and she flinched.
Lexie sighed "Sami you really need to do a rape kit. It could help send Aidan to jail for what he has done." Lexie advised Sami shook her head "No one outside of this cabin and Aidan will know what happened that's what I agreed to with Carlo." Sami proclaimed Lexie shook her head "Ej will want to know and who knows what Aidan did to you while you were passed out Sami. Please let me take you no one will know except me." Lexie begged Sami glared at Lexie NOOOOO once I leave this cabin this never happened and I will go back to my life. This is my fault I let this happen when I walked in that door thinking I could save my son alone. No Lexie exam let and me it goes because it won't be brought up again. Do you understand me? "Sami screamed
"Okay Sami. This isn't your fault you didn't ask for this to be done to you. Yes you made a mistake coming here alone but you didn't deserve for Aidan to violate you." Lexie stated Sami shook her head." This is my fault and my price for thinking of no one else but me. I was delusional to think this would end any other way. At least EJ didn't find me and he will never know what happened because he will kill Aidan and I can't let my husband throw his life away without his children .Not after all he has been through. No this is on me and my burden I will carry. Sami stubbornly stated. Lexie began to tear up as she tried to convince Sami what happened needed to be addressed. Aidan needed to pay for what he had done.
Sami continued to wince as Lexie touched her while examining her. Sami began to cry again and swallowed hard. In the other room Carlo blamed himself for what happened to Sami determined if he came straight here he could have prevented the attack. In his head he knew he was wrong but in his heart he blamed himself.
The DiMera's was his responsibility and he failed. He kissed Brendan and also began to cry and whispered in Brendan's ear "You're mother did for you .She loves you that much." Carlo held her tighter. Carlo knew keeping her secret would have a hefty price and Sami was paying for it. Carlo also knew it would only get worse when isn't told the truth. Secrets kept in this family only destroyed them.
Carlo would keep the secret unwillingly but he knew The DiMera family
would never be the same after they walked out this cabin. The secret
may be kept but the horror would live on in Sami's mind. Body and soul.
As they left the cabin Carlo was determined to bring Sami some peace.
