Temptation's Kiss (18+)

Aria is a married woman who finds herself in the arms of a stranger. She was lost in her own world and couldn't find the answers to how did she end up spending the night with a man who she didn't know. After a couple of times of trying to think about what happened last night, she then remembered how furious she was last night because she caught her husband cheating with his assistant. How could she even forget that? They were married for 5 years and she couldn't find any reasons for her husband to cheat on her. She found her eyes darting their way to the face of the man she slept with. "What a handsome face, " she said to herself. She abruptly deleted that thought. She felt hilarious thinking about that when she's in this kind of situation. Aria immediately got out of bed and stared at herself in the mirror. "I'm a mess," she uttered. She started combing her hair using her fingers and gently rubbed the wet wipes that she found on top of the table on her delicate face. "Hey, wanna grab some coffee?" The man beside him was already awake and had been looking at her the whole time. "I'm sorry, this is all a misunderstanding." It was awkward for Aria to utter these words, the fact that something just happened between them made her even more embarrassed. ------- Alfred Montevos is one of the multimillionaire businessmen in the country. He is still a bachelor, but he is already engaged to a millionaire woman for the sake of their business. "Come on Alfred, don't you wanna hit some girls?" said his friend Tony, who was eyeing some pretty ladies dancing near their circle. "You know how much I hate playing with girls." "Then how about a married woman?" Tony laughed and all of his friends giggled. Alfred rolled his eyes at this absurd idea of Tony. How could he be interested in a married woman? Alfred left them to fetch some cherry martini. "Look at her, I think she's already asleep" a man beside Alfred was talking to his friend and pointing at the girl whose head was lying on top of the counter. "She looks wasted. What do you think?" "Yeah. Go and prepare the car, let's have some fun." The man beside Alfred immediately got up and walked past the exit while the other one tried to go near the girl. Alfred was observing them and also got up to stop their ill intentions toward the girl. Alfred has a grudge against men who prey on women who are in a vulnerable state. Alfred grabbed the man's shoulder. "Hey man, what are you trying to do with her?" The man jumped out in surprise. "Oh, I'm just checking if she's okay. Is she your girlfriend dude?" The man stepped backward and got tensed after seeing Alfred. He knows who Alfred is. Who wouldn't know him? Alfred is like a walking dollar wherever he goes. "Got it, man. I'll handle her from here. You can go now. Thanks." The coldness and the deadliness of his voice made the man vanish from his sight in an instant. Alfred tried to wake the girl up, but he could only hear murmurs from her as a response to him. He opened his phone and called a hotel to book a room for him. He also told the receptionist that he would be arriving very soon. "Miss, I don't think that you would be safe here." He got close to the girl's ear, but it was no use, the girl is really drunk and was already in a deep sleep. He asked the barista if he had seen a friend or a company of the girl. "No, sir, she's been here alone drinking and she's a new face here, " said the barista, and continued to entertain others. Since he doesn't want to just leave this girl vulnerable to predators just like the two men earlier, he decided to take her somewhere safe. Alfred supported the girl to stand up so they could exit the club. Before leaving the club, he looked at his friends who were crazily dancing and didn't have a clue about what he was doing. After they got out of the club, Alfred carried the girl in his arms and started walking to his car. He started the car's engine and drove to the hotel. It was a short ride because he booked his room at the nearest hotel. He gave his car key to the valet and carried the girl again and entered the lobby of the hotel. "Good evening Mr. Montevos, here is the key to your room." The receptionist stretched her hand to give the key to Alfred. It was clear how amazed she is by Alfred's handsome features. Alfred took the key and walked to enter the elevator, but was told by a butler that the elevator was currently under maintenance. He was told to use the stairs for the time being. He didn't bother to utter a single word and made his way to the stairs. "Miss, I'm sorry, but you have to wake up now. I'm also feeling a little bit dizzy and I think I can't carry you any longer" He supported the girl to sit in the corner of the stairs and gently tapped her cheeks. The girl just murmured, and he couldn't figure out what she was saying. Alfred had a number of shots and his body is feeling a bit numb now. He didn't waste any time and pulled the girl by holding the girl's hand. It looked like he was dragging her, but he had no choice, he couldn't carry her anymore. Finally, after a couple of pulls, they reached their room and entered the room breathing heavily. Alfred didn't expect that helping a drunk girl would drain his energy and strength. Alfred once again pulled the girl to the bed and stretched his body after his body felt comfortable in the bed. He faced the girl and looked at her face. A smile grew on her lips. The thought that he saved a girl from danger just made his night fulfilling. Before he closed his eyes, he asked the girl for her name. "I want to know your name." After saying this word, he immediately fell to sleep. "Aria," said the girl who was still asleep but managed to answer his question.
