{NEW DYLAN}
“For the guys, the winner…. Is” the
Delaney was sitting on the couch silently, picking on her nails slowly as Mrs Bills walked around restlessly.
Summer came downstairs with a laptop that has the footage of the room.
Luckily, all the rooms in the mansion has tiny cameras in case of necessity.
Summer placed the laptop on the center table and Mrs Bills came closer as she pressed play.
The video revealed how Dylan entered the room and dropped Delaney on the bed, and how he tried to cover her thighs with the folded part of her gown.
“He wasn’t trying to rape” Summer inhaled, and Delaney swallowed nothing.
“The fact still remains that he once R@P£D her!” Mrs Bills said.
Summer sighed and went to Delaney. She bent in front of her and took her hands.
“Tell me how it happened, I mean the rape” she said gently, and Delaney sniffed before starting to talk.
Within five minutes, she was done, and Summer inhaled.
“So….your parents passed away that same night, and you came to find us in Beijing but we moved out of the country already, your parents company went bankrupt and all the properties were seized?” She said.
Delaney nodded, and Summer closed her eyes.
“Gawd, it must have been so hard”
“Of course it is!, How could my own son do such?, You’re a girl Summer, you know what it means to steal a girl’s pride, rape is traumatizing I’m telling you!” Mrs Bills said seriously.
“I know, I’m aware” Summer replied and hugged Delaney.
“I know no amount of sorry can wipe away your pains, but still…I’m sorry Delaney” she said gently, patting her gently.
“I’m…fine” Delaney replied, and Summer broke the hug.
“Why didn’t you arrest him when you met him again?” She asked.
“I’m poor, I’d rather spend the money I’d use to hire an attorney on another thing” Delaney replied, and Summer sighed.
“Are you… saving money for it?” Summer asked.
“No, I have no plans to. He seems to have changed” Delaney replied, and Mrs Maxim faced her.
She was about to speak when her phone rang.
It’s a strange number, so she ignored but it started ringing again and she picked angrily.
“Who the hell is..
“From St Vincent’s private hospital, the owner of this phone just got rushed into our EU, the victim of the fatal accident at the intersection” a female voice said, and Mrs Bills eyes widened.
“What!”
The phone fell from her and she started crying like a baby as she ran out of the house.
“Mum what happened?, Mum!” Summer ran after her.
Delaney rushed out of the house too.
“Dylan, Dylan got into a fatal accident, it was a call from the hospital” Mrs Bills said, and Summer got wide eyes too, same with Delaney.
“Delaney please stay with Andy” Summer said as she rushed into the car with Mrs Bills.
They drove off and Delaney kept standing there, folding her fists tightly.

Mrs Bills and Summer literally ran in, blocking the first doctor they came across.
“The fatal accident victim, my son!” Mrs Bills said impatiently.
“Oh, good thing you’re here, please follow me” the doctor replied and took them to the door of the EU.
“He’s in, fighting for his life” the doctor said, and their eyes widened
“What’s that… supposed to mean” Summer said fearfully.
“He was brought in with a wounded head, he obviously hit it on the tarred road, but there are three doctors in there with him, trying to save him” the doctor replied and Mrs Bills made to go in but she was held back.
“You’ll only disrupt the doctors if you go in and that won’t mean well, please calm down madam” the doctor replied, and Mrs Bills held his collar.
“Please save my son, please save him, please” she cried.
“It’s a 50/50 chance of survival, but nevertheless, our doctors are professionals, put your mind at rest madam” the doctor replied gently, and Mrs Bills let him go.
Summer held her and they both stood in front of the door, waiting for good news.
Trevor and Midas ran all the way into the hallway, looking breathless.
“We saw it in the news” Midas breathed.
Mrs Bills walked to them blankly.
“So….you guys are bad influences, I thought y’all are good guys but I was fooled!” She shouted tearfully.
“Mum calm down” Summer held her.
“Don’t tell me to calm down!, I’m sure they’re aware of the rape!, How could you allow such!, How could Dylan rape a girl!” Mrs Bills snapped, and their eyes widened.
“What!”
“I h@ťě pretence” Mrs Bills glared.
“Dylan R@P£D?” Midas said shockingly.
“We really don’t get what you’re talking about” Trevor said slowly, and Mrs Bills squeezed her face.
“You mean…you both aren’t aware that he R@P£D Delaney?” Summer asked, and their eyes widened again.
“R@P£D Delaney?, What!” They chorused, and Mrs Bills dipped her fingers into her hair.
“I’m going crazy here” she muttered.
“Wait….he really… R@P£D Delaney?” Midas said again.
“Then….the bet he made two years ago” Trevor said.
“To do something she’ll never forget to her on the prom night” Midas continued.
“He R@P£D her!” They chorused.
“f-__-k!, Little wonder he has been apologizing publicly, that’s the reason for his tears day and night, cause of his restlessness and …. f-__-k!!” Midas held his forehead.
“We knew nothing about it trust me big sis, and we didn’t even suggest the bet, he made the bet with us himself” Trevor said.
“How could he, just how could…and now he’s fighting for his life?, I’m going mad” Mrs Bills cried leaning on the door again.
“Let’s just hope he survives this” Summer inhaled, walking around.
An hour later, the EU door opened and the three doctors came out.
“How’s my son doing?” Mrs Bills immediately asked.
“He narrowly escaped death but the wound on his head might affect the inner components, I’m sorry” one of the doctors said.
“Meaning?” Summer asked.
“The possible outcome is either brain death or coma, or memory loss” another doctor replied.
“Those are bad, I don’t want any, I don’t want” Mrs Bills cried.
“Calm down madam and just be thankful that he survived narrowly for now” the third doctor said, and Summer held Mrs Bills in place.
“Can we go see him?” She asked.
“No, not tonight, just put your mind at rest till tommorow morning” the first one said, and they left.
“Gawd” Midas covered his face with his palms.
Trevor sighed softly.
