Free Silence of the Geisha Horror: Yukis Revenge by Bella Lamour, Ophelia Oomph Page A

obnoxious red notice. She managed to find an email address at the bottom for any questions, and quickly drafted up a note.
     
    Dear Take Back the Night staff,
    I was informed of your event my Mandy, from the med student program. I at first declined her invitation, but at second thought changed my mind, only to find the event is cancelled. I understand that sometimes events are beyond our control, but I want to make sure Mandy, as well as everyone else is okay.
    -Yuki Kobayashi.

    She sat back and stared at her computer screen. She was being stupid. If she was lucky she would get an answer in a few days. Most likely no one would reply at all.
    To distract herself, she got up and went about making herself a grilled cheese sandwich. She couldn’t really remember the last time she had eaten, and she knew that that was not a good way to begin her path to recovery.
    She pulled out the ingredients and set the pan on her stove, but a ding from her computer had her scuttling back to the couch as quickly as she could with her injuries.
    They had replied!
    She sat down and opened it eagerly.
     
    Dear Yuki,
    I’m so glad you messaged me! This is Mandy. I went to the Counselor like I said I would and she helped me file a couple of complaints. I went back to class, expecting to leave early to prep for Take Back the Night when I was called to the Deans office.
    They expelled me! Can you believe it?

    They accused me of cheating on a test. I’m not a cheat, Yuki, I swear I’m not. Daddy’s hiring a lawyer and she says that they don’t have a leg to stand on. But I won’t be back until next semester, and next year at the worst. We’re going to get a pretty penny out of it in court, but I’m going to be so behind!
    There’s no way this is some coincidence. I’m sorry Yuki, but I think that those men have an in with the administration. They already shut down my student email, and I have no idea how long until they shut down this one.
    Just please, be safe.
    -Mandy Strasser
     
    Yuki just stared at the words, her mind trying to process it all.
    Expelled? They could do that? If Buck had somehow payed them off, he must have given them enough to make being sued by a third generation alumni family worth it.
    That was a lot of money.
    How was she supposed to stand up to this kind of power? They were willing to ruin the education and career of someone who just stood up for Yuki once?
    Suddenly Yuki was relieved that her parents were already laid to rest. She hated to think what evil and malicious things Buck and his two flunkies would think of to torture them. Mess with their jobs, their friends? Who knew. She was just glad she didn’t have to deal with it.
    No, she just had to deal with being all on her own when it seemed the whole world was out to destroy her.
    Just another day in the life of one of Buck’s playthings.

    Statistical studies indicate false reports make up two percent or less of the reported cases of sexual assault. This figure is approximately the same for other types of crimes. Only one out of 10 rapes are actually reported. Sexual Assault by someone the victim knows are the least likely to be reported.

    Seventy Two.
    Yuki paled as she looked at the grade at the top of her test. A seventy two? She never got below and eighty in her entire scholastic career. And this was on a midterm. Her GPA was going to plummet. She was never going to get into a good intern program. She...she couldn't do this.
    It had been a week since Buck had tried to kick her out of her place and now his influence was ruining her scholastic life. It was bad enough every day she had to pretend she didn't hear the whispers and see the stares.
    She fought against tears all class. She had always prided herself on her dedication to pursuing her education. Even the death of her parents hadn't been able to halt her. She was an unstoppable force of learning that had been halted by a greedy, violent man.
    Why couldn't he just turn himself in? Did he
