Cruel and Ruthless

SYLVIA
I woke up as early as 5 a.m, staring around and realizing that I was inside an unfamiliar room. I had a throbbing headache which sent me back down as I tried to stand up from the bed…
The events of last night came into my memory again. I am not supposed to be here.. I said to myself in my thoughts..
I waited for a few seconds and I got up again. I didn't waste any time in leaving.. I grabbed one of his t-shirts and I put it on. I had no choice since my dress was torn.. luckily for me, there were no bodyguards in this huge mansion and I was able to leave freely without any restraint…
I boarded a taxi straight to a*****e where I got new clothes and I left for the villa. My phone was on DND, I got so many phone calls already from father and Carlos… the notifications were waiting for me….
I had to think of a lie to tell my father when he asked me of my whereabouts… When I arrived at the mansion, it was almost 7am. The distance was uncanny and I had spent more time going to get a dress.
I went inside the mansion and I was immediately seized by my father's strong bodyguards who led me towards the living room.
Father, my stepmom and Lucy were already there waiting for me. The moment I walked inside, father moved directly at me, giving me a resounding slap on my face and I fell down…
I wasn't expecting such a reaction from him.
“Where have you been, Sylvia?” Father yelled at me angrily… I was lost for words.. “i… I…” I couldn't explain myself..
“Isn't it obvious? She was probably sluting around and sleeping with men overnight. Look at her face, her neck too, filled with marks” Luciana said mockingly..
Father focused on my neck and he also saw the marks.. “So it's true? Your little slut! You've been sleeping around? This is more reason why I should marry you off. Why didn't I think of this earlier?” He said, a tone of anger could be detected in his voice.
“Father.. I…”
“Shut up your w***e. You're getting married to Thomas Tores no matter what! And I'll make sure you regret ever being a slut”
“Father, I'm not going to get married to anyone! Since Lucy is your favorite, why don't she take that place?” I questioned him, my voice was stern as I spoke.
“How dare you raise your voice at me? Is this how you repay me after all I've done for you, Sylvia?”
“Father…” I tried to speak, but I had to stand up for myself.
“Guards, take her into her bedroom and lock her up! She is getting married today at noon. Send my message to The Torres's. I've accepted the alliance and my daughter will be marrying Thomas today!” He declared in a stern tone.
“No, father, you cannot do this to me, please!” I yelled out begging…
The guards tried taking me away but I refused, struggling in their grips. “Let go of me!” I kept yelling until I felt a sharp pain on my neck which sent me feeling dizzy and unable to struggle anymore…
I was taken by the bodyguards in my subconscious state back to my bedroom…

The door of my bedroom opened after a knock and I turned.
“Did you find her?” I asked Romeo who just walked into my bedroom after I'd sent him out two hours ago to find the woman I spent the night with.
I wasn't a deep sleeper, I wondered how she left without my notice. The blood on the bed sheets indicated that she was indeed a virgin as I realized last night. I've made her a woman and she mustn't be with any other man as promised.
My mind was restless and all I could think of was finding her…
“Mr Tores, we didn't find anything on her. I even contacted the clubhouse from last night and there was nothing. The CCTV cameras were not working too…” he explained to me.
“That's ridiculous,” I said. I know this would be difficult for him because yesterday he wasn't with me when I met her. He could only find her based on the description I gave him.
“Why weren't there anyone on guard this morning? How did a tiny woman leave without a trace?” I asked him curiously, but he couldn't give me an answer. “Are you starting to slack on your duty, Romeo?”
“No, boss” he titled his head slightly as he responded.. “I'll try my best to find her as soon as possible” he replied..
“You may leave” I said to him…
I turned towards my bed and I went for her dress which was the only thing she left behind besides the memory of her inside me.. who was this woman? I never bothered to ask for her name..
I sniffed the dress, her fragrance was incomparable to any other… She was beautiful with a beautiful cologne, certainly out of this world… I want her for myself! I really do…
My thoughts were cut short by the sound of my ringtone and I moved towards the drawer to pick up my mobile phone.. it was my father who was calling.. What did the old man want this time? I asked myself rhetorically, my mood changed into a frown as I picked up the phone call. “Hello, Mr Tores” I greeted, I never called him dad no matter what.. not after everything he'd put me through after the demise of my mum. Our relationship wasn't something to boast off.
I was the illegitimate and unwanted son born of a maid in my father's manor. I grew up without witnessing his love and affection, I was made to be who I was today, cruel and ruthless….
