With her feeble state, Gloria made her way toward Mr. Stanley's office. She felt her body warm but filled with worries and anxiety especially when she was oblivious to what he wanted to say.
She has been living with him, using her for his sexual pleasure every night. Every time she thought about him, she only felt more furious, not to talk of the thought of killing him.
But she could not do that. All she feels now is an emptiness within her void. She doesn't feel the worth of any value. Weakness, pain, struggle, and anxiety were those things she faced every day. She has even become lean, but her parents are oblivious to this.
If only she knew, she would have kept mute about the rape committed by Mr. Stanley. At Least, her parents will still be allowed to stay in the big mansion. That way, she could have figured out a way to get rid of him. But ever since then, she became an object of dark obsession by a man old enough to be his uncle.
She stopped on her track, right in front of Mr. Stanley's office. She heard moanings coming from inside, and that was when he realized he was at it again. At his fornication, most especially with the female teachers, who were blinded by lust and uncontrolled sexual passion.
Sometimes, she even wondered why the Almighty God has not removed someone like Mr. Stanley from the earth. She sighed realizing what a friend has told her that God is not slow but was being patient because he does not desire everyone to be destroyed but to gain repentance.
Within her mind, she felt Mr. Stanley does not deserve one hint of pity or forgiveness. He was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Someone that should face a painful death.
Gloria raised her hand, formed into a fist, deciding whether to knock on the door or not. She knew of the consequences if she had to leave. Not only will she receive punishment from him, but his altered personality might appear, giving her nightmares.
She breathed in, gathering her courage, as she knocked. She heard scrambling and realized what was going on as she waited for some seconds, before knocking again.
"Come in," the calm voice of Mr. Stanley, gave her the hint to open the door.
She looked up, as her eyes met with the P.H.E female teacher, who was covered in beads of sweat, as she tried to adjust herself. She wore a frown, obviously pissed that someone ruined her temporary fun.
"I will be going now Mr. Stanley, " she grumbled as she walked out, her shoes making noises as she left.
Mr. Stanley simply nodded as he sat down, creasing his forehead slightly.
"Gloria darling, sit," With a broad smile, he looked at her.

She sat, not wanting to spend more time in his office. Just seeing him, only makes her remember the night he raped her.
"Umm, you called me," Gloria cleared her throat.
"Yes. I have some news for you," he raised his head slightly, looking at Gloria, who felt her heartbeat for a while.
"You are free to go home today. Come to my house this weekend. You alone, and don't try to play games or say anything to your parents. You know the consequences," Mr. Stanley glared, emphasizing his last word.
Gloria knew the consequences already. She has tried various means to expose him, but it only proved abortive. She even took online classes on computers and hacking, to hack into Mr. Stanley's laptop, but she later came to realize that he was a computer genius.
"Yes sir," she nodded as she made to stand.
"Going already. Can't you spend some time with me,"
She gulped down the saliva in her throat.
"I...I have a class in the next five minutes," Gloria said truthfully.
"Okay then. Remember to look good this Saturday. I want you and I to enjoy it this time around,"
Gloria felt more disgusted as she looked away. She is hoping to get away from Mr. Stanley's web this time around.
Each time she is around him, all she could feel was fear and anxiety, disgust and anger. One thing she knew was that if things continued to go this way, she might end up killing Mr. Stanley or vice versa.

Standing up to leave, she felt his gaze on her. Getting to the hallway, she gently pressed stop on the recorder. Number one proof, threatening," she thought.
She walked slowly to her class hoping intensely that Rachael and her friends will be able to help her. She needs freedom. She hates the life she was living.
........
It was closing time, and Gloria has used the opportunity to stay behind since Mr. Stanley would not be taking her home.
An hour later, the school has seem deserted as almost all the students have gone home. Picking her backpack, she made her way to the back of the school, where she met Rachael and the others.
She suddenly became shy as she looked at the faces in front of her. Rachael held her hand as she crawled closer to them.
"Gloria, meet Andrew, Kevin, and Joy," Rachael introduced them to her.
"Hey. Nice to meet you," Joy moved closer to her, making her sit beside her.

The others greeted her as Kevin cracked a joke, making her smile for a little.

She felt a little better being among these four. She could not remember the last time she had mingled with a group of people within her age gaps, or otherwise. She has given Rachael approval to tell the others about what happened to her. She was still surprised they never looked at her with pity but were trying to cheer her up.
"So, any news?" Rachael finally spoke, making Gloria heave a sigh.
"I talked with him. He asked me to go home but should make sure I come to his house this Saturday," Gloria recalled, as she handed over the recorder to Rachael.
They listened to it, making their jaw drop slightly, as Gloria narrated her ordeal while she was about to enter his office.
"It seems he is not only a pedophile. He also likes to sleep around with anything with skirts," Joy burst out.
"Any progress so far, Andrew?" Rachael asked.
She had given Andrew some data she had received from Gloria, which has to do with Mr. Stanley's laptop. They were trying to hack it.
"Sadly, no. All his databases are all locked. He is a master in this. If I am not careful, I might end up having a virus on my computer system," Andrew stated as their faces wore a frown.
"Okay. I have a plan, and if we can work together. With hope and trust in God, it will succeed," Rachael voiced out.
"Shoot," Kevin said.
"We will monitor Gloria on Saturday. We will fix a bug on her, where she can place it in Mr. Stanley's room.
You will try to stall him while making him make some confessions. If he tries to make any move, we will come in," Rachael summarized.
Everyone has one thought or the other about Rachael's plan. For someone like Gloria, she felt goosebumps and was extremely scared of the consequences if the plan does not work out.
"I can't do this. What if it does not work? What if he got to know, and the plan forfeited? I can't let you guys enter a trap laid by him. I. I..," Gloria felt her voice leaving as Joy held her, trying to make her calm down.
"Gloria, calm down. We will help you, we promise. The plan will work. I will get an older friend of mine who is a detective to accompany us in case anything goes wrong, which I doubt will happen," Joy said reassuringly.
Kevin squatted in front of her and said
"We are your friends now. No matter what you face, we are ready to face it with you. We are five against one. There is no doubt that pedophiles will lose this time,"
Andrew moved closer too.
"I will be in charge of the bugs and all other things to gather information against Mr. Stan. I will make use of high-tech stuff, and be guaranteed that everything will work out well for you," Andrew explained.
Gloria finally felt relaxed a bit. Maybe she was overreacting," she thought.
She wished she had known these people at an early age in her life.
"Thank you all. But what if Mr. Stanley does not make the move we thought he would make on that Saturday?" Gloria finally questioned, trying to fill the emptiness in her void.
Rachael gave a small smile and said:
" The good thing about evil people is that you can always trust them to do something evil.
Mr. Stanley does not seem to be changing anytime soon. So it is left for us to make him face the wrath of the law,"
Each and everyone talked about the plan, and how to make it turn out to be successful. Gloria could feel nothing but anxiety and fear clouding her thoughts and mind.
The question bothering her the most especially was:
"Will their plan succeed?"
