Ok ppls please don't bust my chops about this chapter. I know it's kinda twisted but it's Madison's past.

Chapter 8

An hour later Eli pays the delivery guy and sets the table with some candles, and some roses in a vase. He sets up the food on some plates and he goes to get Madison. He walks into his bedroom to see Madison curled up on his bed fast asleep. 'I hate to wake her but she needs food in her.' Thinks Eli as he walks over to the side of the bed and kneels on the floor. He gently brushes his fingers across Madison's face.

Madison's eyes snap open and she sucks in a deep breath. She soon remembers where she is and that Eli is kneeling in front of her looking rather worried. Madison let's out the air she was holding in and looks into Eli's deep blue eyes. "I'm sorry but I got scared."

"It's ok Madison. I expected you to try and beat my face off in fear but well I'm glad you didn't."

Madison smiles and sits up on the bed, "Food here?"

"Yup it is. Hungry?"

"Very." Says Madison with a smile as she stands up and stretches.

Eli walks Madison out to the kitchen and she sees the way Eli has set up the table she smiles and hugs Eli. She then sits down and starts to eat.

Eli chuckles and sits down across from Madison and begins to eat. "Maddi?"

"Hmm?" says Madison as she looks up at Eli with some sauce all around her mouth.

"Two things, one you have sauce all over your face."

Madison blushes and grabs a napkin and wipes her mouth clean and smiles at Eli, "Better?"

"Either way you're beautiful."

Madison blushes even more and looks down at her plate, "The second thing?"

"Second every time I have dealt with a rape case the women have always never been as calm as you. They never slept or anything."

"Why am I different?" asks Madison as she looks up at Eli with her violet eyes shining in the candlelight.

Eli nods his head as he takes a bite of pasta.

"I told you this isn't the first time I have been raped. This was actually the fourth time. I'm not allowed to talk about the other times."

"Your fourth time? Why can't you talk about the other three?"

"Well it's for the good of my name. Only one other rape was leaked to the press. The first two times were matters solved in the house. I was only young though like 14 my first time and 16 my second. Third time I was 17."

"Madison I'm not going to tell anyone you know that besides wouldn't it be good for you to talk about it?"

"You want to talk about it?" asks Madison as she puts down her fork and looks at Eli.

"I want to help you Madison and I want to get to know you better."

"Ok we'll talk in your room." Says Madison as she gets up and walks to Eli's room.

Eli blows out the candles and rushes after Madison. When he gets to his room she's sitting on his bed waiting for him. Eli walks over and sits in front of Madison on the bed.

"Well you have met one of my rapists already. Julian, that is why I dislike him so much."

"Julian?"

Madison shakes her head 'yes', "Julian. The first time it was my stepfather, but my mother handled that and divorced him and left him penniless. The second time was Julian and the third time was Jenny."

"Your sister?"

"She wasn't my sister then. Remember she was removed from the family. She had me kidnapped and she raped me. The horrifying thing is Julian watched it. He just stood there and watched her rape me over and over again." Madison hugs her self tightly and starts crying.

"Madison." Says Eli softly as he holds out his arms and Madison moves so she is sitting on his lap and he's hugging her.

"Julian raped me, for two days. He kidnapped me and took me to London, England. He beat me and raped me. It was horror. I was tied to his bed for two days in a spread eagle naked. I never had a sheet thrown over me or anything. But his beatings were what I feared the most. I could block him out while he was fucking me. But his beatings were something else. Leather straps, whips, his fists, hands; he kicked me, cut me. The pain was horrible."

Eli hugs Madison closer to him as he listens to her tell him everything as tears streak her face.

"My step-father was bad cause I was only 14 and didn't really know what was going on. It hurt so much when he shoved himself inside me. I felt like I was being ripped in two. I was screaming in pain but no one ever came to help me. I later learned that he had given the house staff the day off and my mother was in meetings at the office all day. She found me that night lying on my bed naked and cold, in a spread eagle cause I hadn't moved after he left me. My sheets were a little bloody from when he first entered me."

"Madison I'm so sorry." Whispers Eli.

"Why are you sorry? You didn't know me then." Says Madison as she holds onto Eli tightly.

"I'm sorry I didn't know you then, I could have protected you from that, from everything."

"Eli no one could have protected me from it all. It happened and I learned to get over it. I wasn't going to let it ruin my life and I still feel that way."

"You've had a rough life. But now it will get better."

"Why is it going to get better?" asks Madison as she looks up at Eli.

"Cause I'm going to protect you. Madison I'm falling in love with you and I don't want to loose you."

"I'm tired. I just want to sleep." Says Madison as she slips from Eli's hugs and lays down on the bed.

"Mind if I stay with you?" asks Eli.

Madison shakes her head no.

Eli lays down behind Madison and wraps his arms around her in a hug. "I'll always be here for you and I'll always protect you Maddi."
