I have two options: whether to use the secret recordings to extract huge sums of money from my boss and disappear, or report him to the police so he can be charged and sentenced. The first option is tantalizing but risky. I don’t know how everything will turn out in the end.

I work in a hotel where the owner hired me because he liked me. He said it on the first day that he was hiring me because he liked me. I thought it was the kind of liking we develop for people because of their capability. I was wrong. He liked my body and wanted to date me in secrecy.

I was working one night when he called me into his office and started running his hands where they were not supposed to be. He said, “What if we do it and I give you money? I can even promote you tomorrow.”

I wasn’t raised to do that, especially with a man whose marriage has existed longer than I have been alive. I asked him to give me time to think about it before he let me go. He would intentionally send me to dress a room, then follow up and close the door. He did that twice, but I used my menses as an excuse to put him off.

Whenever he sent me to dress a room, the first thing I did was put my phone in a corner and turn on the camera. Now I have a series of videos where he attempted to force himself on me. The last one went too far. He was very determined to get a pound of my flesh. He reached it. I had scratches to show how far he went. I have all that on tape.

Because I didn’t give in, he now hates me and has threatened to sack me if I ever do anything wrong. I no longer have any interest in the job and want to leave, but I want to get some benefit for everything I’ve been through. I want to get money and run, or send my evidence to the police and bring him down. It’s a big hotel, and this can make the news for days.

It’s Not God’s Law For A Man To Apologize To A Woman

I want the money. I want to go back to school to better my life so I don’t find myself in this position again. How do I navigate my way through this so I don’t put myself in danger?
