His 24K Obsession

Chapter 6- An Accident for a Reason

My eyes flickered to consciousness, when the vivid light of the sun trailed upon my smooth bareness, rubbing against each other. I raised my arm to take shield from the blinding lights slipping through the window.

It was a very sunny morning, with the windows that lacks curtains. I roamed my eyes around to gain total consciousness of my surrounding.

A heavy comforter was covering me, and I felt the lightness within me. As if I weren't wearing anything at all.

I looked under the comforter to check, and I was taken aback by what I had seen. I had no clothes at all. All bare.

When I turned my head to my side, a broad shouldered man lied next to me.

A certain part of my mind began to create a flashback scene from everything that had happened last night, and I shivered knowing the truth.

I just slept with Silas! I just slept with a man I really don't know at all. I dragged myself off the bed and went downstairs naked.

When I saw the clothes I used to wear yesterday hanging on the chair, at the dinning table. I took it quickly and rush to change myself.

I kept pacing back and forth on the living room, reflecting on what s**t I had literally did.

When I heard the loud footsteps upstairs, I rushed out of the door in a bolt of thunder. To make my way out of the forest more quicker, I ran as fast as I could.

If I had known coming to this island wouldn't be any different to living a life of hell with my past life, then I shouldn't have came here.

First, this crossing path with Leo thingy really gets on my nerves. His obsessive actions were too choking. And now, Silas. Oh my god! We just didn't do anything normal but we did the the most extreme. We f****d!

And now I'm all f****d up.

My pace became leaps, as if I was jumping high instead of running towards the boat. I hopped right on it and left quickly.

When I arrived at my Aunt's floating house, there was only emptiness that meet me. She was out for work early in the morning, as always.

I know not telling her that I'd be leaving would break her heart but I had no other choice. I felt ashamed for what I have done, and I don't want her to feel down knowing what happened.

I grabbed my sling bag and pack few of my clothes in, there's no much of things I own here anyway.

When I was fully assured that I have nothing left. I hop back to the boat and began sailing away fron the island.

I clearly remember the way out of it but now it somehow confuses me. I keep paddling forward and yet, I couldn't see the island furthermore.

There was this huge cloud blocking the path—no, it was a smoke. A black ball was tossed over to my boat, it was lightning up and I was unknowledgable of knowing what it is.

Suddenly, a black ball was tossed over my boat. It was palm-size and was lightning.

"Watch out!" it was a masculine voice that rang all over my ears. It was like giving me some kind of caution.

He jumped toward my boat and pushed me down with him. Just as the right time when we hear the loud explosion happening at the surface of the water.

My tiny boat was shattered to pieces leaving me nothing to sail anymore. I thought it was already the time death finally had come for me until, a warm palm touch the bareness of my waist and hold it firmly. Lifting me over the surface of the water.

I gasped out all the water filling my lungs and began gaining consciousness around me.

"Are you okay miss?" he asked, as his eyes kept still on me.

I wondered my eyes within his black eyes where the galaxy seems to shine, he wasn't that much handsome but he is very charming. I began traveling to his captivating eyes, up to his long thick lashes, thick bushy brows, down to his long-pointed nose into his thick lips. But foremost, it was his majestic beard that brought all his exotic beauty.

"I-I'm good," I replied stammering when she tried to shake me for being too starstruck with him.

"Are you okay, Young Master?" an old-rusty voice echoed behind us.

"I am fine Ayan."

A man with winter-white hair appeared out of nowhere, his eyes were nebulous. As his appreance seemed to be timeworn.

He was standing at the edge of a huge yatch whilst his other hand was groping the edge of the hull to gain strength.

"Please open the stairs." the man ordered the old man.

And like magic a stair formed at the stern of the yatch. It wasn't big but it was enough for a person to walk through.

He guided me carefully to the yatch like a real gentleman, holding my hand as I was having my way up to the stair.

"Thank you," I uttered in great gratitude.

"Please get the lady a pair of dry clothes to wear." he ordered.

I was sitting at the chair when he came and wrapped a towel around me. He never spoken a single word, neither I but all I did was stare at him.

"Thank you." I uttered once again.

"My lady, here's your clothes. Please follow me." I looked at him once more and he nodded at me, as if he was actually telling me to follow the girl. And so I did, I stood from the chair and followed her to where I can completely change my outfit.

That man must've be so rich to own such yatch. Yatchs are way too expensive tho. The Ortega Clan owns 19 yachts but I had only rode 1 once and never again.

It was a rule that women in the family would have no authority to own or even use the family's wealth, for she is nothing but a temporary part of the clan and worst, just an ill-blessing.

I opened the bag filled with some clothes and put the green floral dress on. It was so beautiful that I wanted to own it but I know I still need to return it after.

I finally went out the bathroom and found no one outside. It was only me alone in this huge view inside the yatch.

My feet were unable to stop meandering all over the place, I was just admiring the entirety of the yatch. Its has been long since I rode one. I was probably 5 years old back then.

"Do you like it?" a serene voice rang acrossed my ears, I quickly turned around and found him behind me.

He looked so decent wearing a blue tuxedo. Whilst his hair were gelled and fix cleanly.

"You own such a beautiful yatch."

His lips lifted halfway genuinely as his eyes squinted lightly.

"I'm Alexander," he introduced.

"I'm Amara, nice to meet you!" I handed out my hand to be shakened but, he took it and placed a gentle kiss on the back of my palm.

"It was such a pleasure to save such beautiful lady."

"Thank you." I uttered and pursed my lips right after.

"Then, can I take you out for a dinner as a way of gratitude to me for saving you?"

"Sure," I smiled genuinely.

As soon as we arrived on the shore, a black limousine took us to a very archaic and yet, It was one of the most famous and most expensive restaurants all over St. Catherine.

I had such a good time eating luxurious foods once again. It felt like forever and the ignorance inside me seems to rise which I think is a funny and an embarrassing thing. But to Alexander he just laugh it off for me and I felt nice with him. I think he's a really good person.

"Where do you live? I can take you home." he suggested while we were sitting on the car driving way home.

"Honestly, it might be quite embarrassing to say but I don't have one." I averted my vision towards the front seat, avoiding his gaze. I seemed to feel embarass but I would rather tell him the truth than actually lie to him where I live, in which I really don't have one.

"Really?" he asked curiously in which I nodded.

"Well then, you're free to stay in my hotel. From now on stay in my hotel." I felt surprised that he didn't feel ashamed of having me here, such a homeless person as I am.

"No, thank you. I don't have the money to pay you—" he cutted me off with a gentle chuckle.

"Did I tell you to pay me?"

There was a minute of silence that passed between us. I don't know what to say rather than being too much grateful of meeting this person.

"Thank you."

As soon as the engine finally stops, he handed me a black card. I was hesitant to take it at first but he put it in my hand and close my fingers to secure it.

"Give this to the counter, I already told them that you'd be coming." I just nodded as if I had another option at all. It's either I took this stranger's offer or I sleep on the streets again.

He gets out of the door and walk over mine to open it for me. I then get out of the car and stare at him.

"Thank you so much. I don't how to repay you from all of your help." I pursed my lips feeling a little embarrassed.

"You don't have to return me any money. Just have dinner with me."

"Okay," I agreed.

"Anyway, here's a new phone you can use for me to be able to contact you." he went on the front seat and took the phone, still new, and still on the box.

He handed it to me and I, of course took it. I gently smiled at him once more before taking my path towards the hotel.

The hotel was huge and tall. When I went inside, I was awe-amazed by It's beautiful structure. It looks very clean and very modern. It doesn't look-like that usual hotel you used to go. This one looks different and very luxurious.

"Welcome Ma'am" the lady on the front desk greeted.

I randomly just shoved the black card to show her and her eyes widened. Then quickly phoned someone.

"Please follow me ma'am." she uttered and get off from the front desk.

We took a different elevator, it was color black and at the last que of the regular elevator. I had wondered what does that black card means in this hotel.

When it opened, silence meet us at that part of the hotel. It was spacious and yet, there was no any other guest at all. It was only the hotel staffs cleaning the place.

"Welcome to your room ma'am. It is such a pleasure to receive such an important guest. Chairman Costa never sent any guest before than you alone." I nodded gently and smile whilst, I was low-key confused inside.

As soon as the staffs finally left, I roamed my eyes around this spacious area filled with plants. I walked towards the door and opened it.

It made my jaw dropped. He actually get me a penthouse. I was never asking for anything at all. This is just way too much.

It was such a very elegant and yet luxurious penthouse. It was all tidied up already. There was no wall between the living room and the dinning table and yet there was so much space between them. The bathroom was hidden by a huge mirror door. There were three rooms. I took the masters bedroom to be mine, It has this really huge bed. A walk-in closet filled with clothes all fits to me and of course a huge bathroom.

There was also a little hanging balcony that has a jacuzzi outside.

"My phone suddenly rang inside the box, It then tooked it and answered.

"Hello?"

"It's me Alexander." he uttered in a serene voice.

"Who are you?" I asked in deep confusion.

He saved me from the explosion and now he gave me a room to sleep in—no, actually a penthouse. And yet, I don't know what is his ulterior intention. I did nothing special to deserve all of this at all.
