Euphoria

Chapter 3

Melanie

I woke in a very comfortable soft bed to sunlight beaming brightly straight into my face. I had to close my eyes due to the impact. I yawned softly and started to open my eyes.

I realize what happened the previous day. I jerk up and sit on the bed and took a quick glance at my surrounding and I realize I'm not in my cozy bedroom. It's luxurious master bedroom which is quite elegant at the same time. I'm quite afraid to touch anything considering everything seems to be made of glass and too expensive for my taste.

I'm terrified to go out. Who knows what's in store for me? I sit for few minutes what felt like an eternity later the bedroom door opened.

A woman comes in with a box wrapped with a velvet ribbon. She seems to be in her late fifties.

Her hair is turning into gunmetal grey and is long and lush. Her jade green eyes gleaming with a sublime spark. Her face covered with bit of wrinkles yet she looked beautiful for her age.

" I'm glad you woke up dear. I'm Mia the head maid of this mansion. Master has sent me to help you freshen up and get ready for breakfast. Come on dear, hop into the shower".

What the actual f**k!? Master? Who the hell is this master? Why should I get ready in his home? Breakfast? Is it already morning?

I glance at the clock and my suspicion came true. It was 8:15 am. Does that mean after the afternoon incident I slept for the whole day?

Mia waved a hand bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Dear? Are you okay? "

I realize I'm wearing a different dress. More like a nightgown.

"Where am I? " I ask her.

"Oh! You're at Master Steven Milton's house. He saved you yesterday and brought you to his home"

Steven Milton? His name does seem familiar. Is he a rich bussiness man or something?

"Come dear. He's waiting for you. He also sent a dress for you"

The least I can do is be greatful to my saviour.

I close the door of the bathroom behind me and stare for a minute at this lavish bathroom. This perfectly suits the bedroom interior and decor. I take a hot shower to calm myself down. I don't look at my body while I shower. I couldn't dare to. And probably will never.

I turn off the shower and wrap a towel on me, wear the clothes that are placed on the bed.

I was combing my hair when Mia walked in.

"You look so pretty". She smiled at me.

"Thank you "I smiled back at her.

"Let's go. Shall we? "

Smile faded from my face. I wasn't ready. I was scared to death for some reason. My inner voice told me something terrible was waiting for me outside. Just to capture me in its foul embrace

As we walk down the stairs I can't help but admire everything.

We arrive at the dining hall and I see a guy who might be in his late twenties.

He was well, different from all the other guys I've seen. He was handsome, perhaps in the conventional sense but he had a appearance which could make him stand out in crowd. He was fair, almost pale white. His unfathomable grey eyes came in contact with my blue eyes. His eyes were deep, sharp and expressive. It's as if he could read one's soul. He was well built and quite taller than me. A gleam which he held in his eyes. His smile screamed pride and vegeanance.

I literally can't tear away my eyes from him. We both are staring at each other for quite long now. I hope I'm not drooling by looking at him.

His deep, sensual voice which could be engraved in someone's soul forever snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Hello Melanie".
