Addicted To A Billionaire

CHAPTER 7

(Thelma's POV)

I woke up in my bedroom as it was a brand new day. I sat up on my bed and finally slid out of it. I walked up towards my room window and pushed the curtains slightly open to stare out at my father's garage.

I saw my elder brother, Steven Sebastian, standing there and speaking to a bodyguard outside in our garage. And as if Steven felt my intense gaze on him, he turned and stared upward at my room window, but I quickly shut the curtains closed, as I wasn't ready to greet him.

I knew that it would lead me to shouting out, "Good morning, brother," but I wasn't ready for all that greeting. As I still felt embarrassed with the fact that I looked so red the previous day in front of them. And I was plastered with love-kissing marks all over my skin and face.

I had to do my business training, as I had graduated with distinction, but I don't know if my father would allow me to go outside of our mansion again and work with the company that I have chosen, and submitted my application into. As my mother didn't want me to learn under Steven.

I had submitted my application to M.W Group, and the company had sent me an approval email to resume with them on Monday.

As the day was Sunday, I decided to let my parents know that I would be going officially to M.W Group tomorrow to resume with them.

I heard a knock on my bedroom door, startling me out of my many thoughts. As my room was painted in cream color, I was wearing a white nightgown, so I walked away from my room window and up to the door to find out who was there.

I knew that I had locked myself in my bedroom the previous day so that no one would see me until the red marks had cleared off, but it was still showing small, red marks, and I was angry with the fact that I hadn't gotten my revenge on the cold man who slept with me. As I was still feeling the pain in between my center too. Yet, the man had stared at me like I stole something from him, whereas he was the one who deflowered me.

I was the one who was supposed to be glaring at him for what he did to me, without even saying thank you.

I sighed, knowing that my friends won't laugh at me again when I told Sandra and Ella that I was no longer a virgin, but I haven't called them yet to check on them, as I remember running away the previous two nights ago from my birthday celebration.

I was still trying to get over my parents' anger, especially my dad, who was very protective of me.

I approached my room door and finally pulled it open, and I met Elsa's gaze on me, as she arrived with a tray that was containing my breakfast in her hands.

"Good morning, Thelma, may I come in?" Elsa asked me, and I made way for her to walk into my room, as the time was after 8 am.

I immediately locked up my room door again, as I wasn't ready to meet with my family members, but I knew I had to, so that I could inform them that I had to resume as a new intern at M.W Group the following day.

"I brought your breakfast to you," Elsa said, as she knew that I was avoiding my parents since the previous day that I had returned home.

I wanted to reply to Elsa, but just as she dropped my breakfast on the small dinner table in my room, I heard another knocking on my bedroom door, and I frowned. I told Elsa to check who was there at the door.

I walked towards my bed quickly and picked up a cloth there that I usually wrapped around my neck to hide all the red marks that hadn't cleared off yet.

My mom walked into my room, and I immediately stared back at her and greeted her, "Good morning, Mom."

I didn't want to meet my mother's gaze directly, as I know that I resemble my mom in her beauty looks. Although I knew that my mother and my dad's relationship weren't so rosy, as my mother and my father sometimes act like they were siblings instead of the husband and wife who were supposed to be loving to each other.

"Thelma..." My mother called my name, but I stared away, not wanting to meet her gaze on me, as I knew that they were all angry with me since the previous day that I had returned back in the morning and looking red.

"You know that your father is very angry with you, Thelma. And you shouldn't think that you can deceive your father and me," My mom said.

"I'm not trying to deceive anyone, mom," I said.

"But it's so evident of what had happened to you? And who is the man that you shamelessly slept with? As your father is now beginning to look for a husband for you, before you will bring shame to us."

"No, Mum! I cannot marry any man that father wants!" I said, as my eyes turned sad at my mother's statement. I couldn't believe that my father was already planning to have me become married at once.

"I didn't sleep with any man. It was just mosquito bites," I lied, and I know that I wasn't so good at lying, as my nose twitched to show how nervous I was.

My mother walked up towards me, not minding that Elsa was still standing in my bedroom with us, and she pulled off the white cloth I had used to wrap around my neck.

"Then what's all these red marks, Thelma? Don't lie to me, as I have been with a man too before, and I know it that you have been touched by someone! How can you allow this to happen to you, as your father is very angry about it now. And your bride price has reduced to nothing, as it could have been much higher if you had remained a virgin until your wedding night?"

I frowned, as I never knew that being a virgin meant that I would be sold off to my husband at an expensive cost.

I replied to my mother, "My friends laughed at me, and I couldn't just keep it."

"Shut up your mouth, Thelma! And because of that, you allowed a random man to sleep with you. Who was he? Tell me! So that I can speak to your father about him and have you both become married at once."

"No, mom!" I looked away, as I couldn't believe what my mother said.

As she still looked so calm and understanding in her long, blue gown, but I shook my head and replied to her, "I don't know the man. I just met a man that took me to him, and we just did it."

"Thelma!! Are you crazy???. How can you agree to sleep with a random man, just because your friends laughed at you? At 24 years old, I was expecting you to be mature enough to know that your friends were only jealous of you, just because they have lost their virginity to their boyfriends. And your husband, whom could have loved you and cherished you very much for remaining a virgin until your wedding night with him, and to give it to him instead, you lost it."

"Mom..." I felt so guilty now to cry out, as my mom was now making me feel regret.

I asked her, "Mummy, were you a virgin when you got married to dad?"

I stared up at my mother's face to know her response, and I could see the hurt in her eyes, as I knew that my dad was a strict man, and he doesn't really love my mom or deserve someone as understanding as her.

However, mom replied, "Yes, Thelma, I was, as I knew the importance of it. But, it just unfortunately for me that another woman has stolen your father's heart to love again, before I met him and got married to him."

"Then what's the point, mom, of me keeping my virginity? As there's no point of it when my husband-to-be won't be a virgin man either. To hell with virginity, mom, as I don't care, and I can celebrate now and be happy," I said.

"Thelma!" My mom looked at me in surprise at my statement, and she shook her head and finally asked me, "Did you actually sleep with the unknown man with protection? As I can see that you're very stupid and a dummy not to know the consequences of what you did. And I cannot believe that I'm truly your mother. As I'm feeling the urge to give you a hot slap right now."

"Mom..." I frowned as I walked away to sit down on my room chair, where Elsa had initially kept my breakfast on the small table in front of the chair.

I couldn't remember if the handsome, black man had used any protection on me after I saw his huge rod spring out. As I stared away from him, not having any idea about it, as I was so lustful on admiring him.

After a while of keeping silent in my room, as my mom and Elsa stood and waited to hear my response, I rather picked up my spoon from the hot custard plate that Elsa had brought to me earlier. I took a spoonful and drank it first, as Elsa had already added milk and small sugar into the hot custard for me.

I drank another spoonful from the hot custard again instead of responding to my mom's question, until I heard my mother call me by my name again, "Thelma..."

"Mom, I don't know... I cannot remember if the man had used a protection on me or not. As I was paid to sleep with him, but I forgot to collect my payment."

"Thelma! How could you??" My mom was so annoyed that she screamed out my name so loudly, enough to alert the whole house.

I frowned and kept mute, as I saw my mother's eyes flash in anger at me.

Mom said, "I'm very disappointed in you, Thelma. And get ready to follow me to the hospital today to get a proper medical check-up in the evening, and to completely clean your womb, so you don't contract any disease or become pregnant for an unknown man whom you absolutely know nothing about."

My mother left my room angrily, and I frowned, while Elsa asked me, "Do you need anything else, my lady?"

I knew that Elsa had also listened to all my mother's and my conversation.

I shook my head and replied to her, "No. You can leave now."

"Okay, my lady, take care," Elsa bowed to me and left my room, while I resumed drinking from the hot custard plate on the table.

I licked the spoon and smiled a little at the remembrance of how I had shamelessly lost my virginity and moaned painfully on the bed.

"Damn it," I said, and smiled as I finished up my breakfast.
