ZDB's Scrapbook

“Eres una maldita zorra!” (You're a bloody whore) Tomás growled as he looked at his sister, his eyes cold and cruel. “Una sucia, caulquiera, puta...” (A dirty, lowlife, whore) he continued pushing his chair back and started advancing angrily towards Zora.

Backing up a step, surprised and very dizzy now by her brother’s sudden rage, Zora couldn’t quite understand what was going on, or why Tomás was so angry that she was seeing Jamie. She thought that he would be happy that she was dating a friend of his, happy, that she had found somebody she wanted to be with.

“You open your legs to worthless nothings, who use you, who don’t love you or just want our money…” he spat out angrily as he suddenly reached out and grabbed Zora’s arm hard, twisting it, wanting to teach her a lesson.

“Tomás..” Zora cried out, her surprise now turning to fear. She could sense his mounting fury and … jealousy… she had purposely ignored this feeling before, had thought that it was just a brotherly protective thing.. until now… “You are hurting me..” she gasped trying to yank her arm back.

Increasing his grip on her arm, Tomás pulled his sister to him and just stared down at her… “I told that good for nothing to stay away from you…” he hissed, in growing anger. “But he didn’t listen… did he?” Tomás asked coolly as he painfully twisted Zora’s arm until she thought it might break…

“Dejame ir… por favor...” (Let me go, please) Zora said in a tiny, scared voice as tears start to flow from the pain in her arm and from the feeling that she was going to faint, she was having trouble holding his fury out of her mind.

“I’ll let go of you bitch.. when I am good and ready…” Tomás said in a deadly calm voice as he suddenly reached out and slapped Zora across the face - how dare she talk to him, ask him to let her go, didn’t she know who he was?

“You are such an embarrassment to the Del Bosque’s, you disgust me...” he added harshly as he threw Zora back towards the leather couch. There, she fell and knocked her head on the armrest. “You should know by now that you are mine. Not that wimp’s Sacha’s…” he gritted as he leaned down and grabbed Zora by the hair. “You are mine Zoraida, not his, not Sacha’s, not anybody’s…” he said pulling her up now by her hair. “And you need to learn that…” he said grabbing her now by the neck, so she couldn’t move as he kissed her hard on the mouth. Zora could taste the blood in her mouth from her cut lip…and groaned in disgust and panic. She was extremely dizzy now, she felt sick, repulsed and she was especially afraid that she would pass out for she knew if she did that her brother was going to try and teach her in a way she didn’t want to be taught.

As Tomás kissed her, Zora felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she forced her body to relax some, forced herself not to panic and try and think past the pain in head… When she felt Tomás relaxed his grip somewhat on her, she brought up her knee and pushed him backwards with all her might. Then she ran towards the fireplace, where she grabbed a fire poker.

"Bitch! You will pay for that... You'll be sorry you ever did that.." Tomás growled as he lunged for her...

Blackness. She could hear voices far off... like she was underwater. The conversation was slightly muffled. She could smell disinfectant, and she hurt all over.

"She's stable, just barely," Mr. Del Bosque, "Your sister fell pretty hard down those stairs. It's a good thing that your grandfather came home when he did," the doctor said truthfully as he checked her vitals.

"She hit her head badly. Almost lost the child too..." he said as he looked over her chart. "It's actually amazing the fall didn't kill her. She must have an angel looking after her... You can stay for a while if you like." the doctor added before leaving.

When the doctor had left.

"Sister dear..." Tomas said quietly and coldly, "I know you can hear me. You were lucky - this time. Next time, I'll kill that bastard's child with my own hands if I have to..." He said as he leant in closer and whispered in her ear. "If you think you are going to marry him and have his child, think again," he warned. "If you do, I will track you down and I will kill him and his bastard and make you watch while I do it... " he threatened softly.
