Fear flashed in my eyes when the man grabbed me again when I moved away. He caught me again and pulled me before he turned off the lights.
Darkness roamed inside the room, and I thought the man had changed his mind, but he carried me and was thrown into the bed. I shrieked in anxiety, but I couldn't move my body when he went closer to me.
“This is what you ask for. And I will be glad to give it to you.” The man mumbled, as his tone was hoarse, and tried to control himself.
I felt my body shake in so much dread, but I didn't have any chance to escape from this wild man. If I did not do what he wanted, he would throw me out of his room. I don't want those men to capture and sell me. What would happen to my children who were waiting for me?
“There's no way for you to escape from me, woman.” He added. Before he aggressively claimed my lips and went on top of me. It was so painful, and I felt a large wood come inside my body, making me not want to walk.
That man was so wild that I lost consciousness while doing whatever he wanted to do with me. It was exhausting, and I thought I would die because of him. I may have had two children, but I was a virgin then, and this man took me repeatedly as if I had a lot of experience doing that thing.
I woke up because the sunlight was touching my skin, and I didn't know the window was open. I tried to open my eyes, and I felt my body ache in so much pain because of what happened last night.
My eyes looked around, and I saw that I was alone in bed now. My eyes widened, and I felt my cheeks burning because of what had happened last night. It was so painful, but I didn't have the right to complain because it was my fault that something had happened to me.
I sighed and went into the bathroom when I remembered that Adam and Annabelle might be waiting for me all night. I think they might be worried about me that I didn't even go home like I always do. Sadness struck my heart, thinking they might not sleep because of me.
I didn't need to waste time thinking about many things only required to escape from this room, so I got dressed and ran out of the door to open it.
My eyes widened, and my feet stopped running immediately when I saw a woman standing after I opened the door. It was Veronica, my stepsister.
“Oh, Avalynn, did you know Anthony is so mad because you left him?” Veronica irritatedly said.
Veronica had a ferocious temper, and she had liked to bully me since I was a child. She was stunning but cunning. I know that Veronica would still sell me to Anthony.
“Veronica, tell this to Adler,” I stopped and felt my blood boil because of so much anger.
“He didn't have the right to sell me to whoever he wanted. I didn't even use his money to sustain my needs. It was my grandmother who took care of me until she died. Tell him that if he's short of money, sell himself to Anthony. Don't he dare look for me again!” My teeth clenched in outrage, and I almost yelled because of my father.
When I finished saying those words, I started walking away from Veronica when she stopped me.
Veronica's eyes were sharp, and I could see her evil smirk. Veronica uttered, “The plan failed last night. And Anthony is still furious about what happened. Avalynn, he finally met you, and did you even think I would let you leave now? He is waiting for you, Avalynn.”
“What did you think about why I'm in front of you? He wants me to get you, and I will ensure you will be in his bed today!” Veronica's jaw clenched as she stepped forward before she grabbed my hand.
I pushed her away, and Veronica tried to grab me again when I avoided her. She yelled in so much frustration when she fell on the floor. Veronica was astounded, as if she couldn't believe I had avoided her attack.
Her face was reddened in humiliation, which made me take the opportunity to escape from her. I ran too fast into the elevator and tapped the closed button. Did Veronica think I'm still a weak Avalynn that she used to bully? She's wrong because I won't let her do something nasty to me from now on.
Narrator's POV
“b***h!”
Veronica yelled in annoyance when she stood up from the floor. Her face crumpled because of what Avalynn had done to her.
Veronica saw her cell phone was on the floor, and all that she was thinking was to ask for her father's help to get Avalynn. Veronica was about to pick up her cell phone when she realized the door of the hotel room, where Avalynn had left, was open.
An idea came into her mind. She wanted to know if Avalynn had slept with the unknown man last night because she noticed a hickey on Avalynn's neck.
Veronica went inside the hotel room. She looked around to see if the man that Avalynn had slept with was inside, but no one was inside the room. It looked like the man who Avalynn had slept with left her while Avalynn was sleeping.
Veronica was about to leave with a melancholy expression, but her eyes caught a luxurious ring on the bedside table. The ring was stunning, and it was sparkling, which made her mouth hang open in admiration. She noticed a written letter beside the expensive, beautiful diamond ring.
Veronica was sure she had seen the diamond ring from the news, which was ancient and owned by a wealthy family.
Steven Muller owned that ring, and it symbolized the class of the Muller clan in power.
“How could… How could Avalynn be so lucky that someone has given her this ring?” Veronica's forehead creased when she realized what had happened.
“Oh, is it Steven Muller she slept with last night?” Veronica's heart was jealous because of what happened with Avalynn. Why was Avalynn always lucky to have a man like Steven Muller?
Veronica was stunned. She heard footsteps coming towards her. Panic wandered in her heart, so she turned and saw Jacob, Steven's best friend.
“Young lady, I'm Jacob. What happened last night was only an accident. What do you want to do in return?” Jacob asked Veronica.
The man looked helpless, and his heart was weak when he saw the woman Steven had slept with. He never thought that he would deal with Steven's woman.
Steven was too important for Jacob, so what he could only do was deal with the woman whom he had accidentally slept with.
Veronica was frivolous, and she felt happy because of what Jacob had told her.
“You can rest assured that as long as we can do it, you can tell me whatever you want,” Jacob added, which made Veronica feel more excited.
Veronica smiled before she answered in a soft voice, “I'm Veronica. Is it Steven that I slept with last night? I want to marry him.”
