CHAPTER 12 CLARISSA’S POV. The aching in my skull ebbs and flows like a cold tide, yet the pain is always there. I understand at once why they call it a hangover. From the pounding head, vomit taste in my mouth and dehydrated feeling I feel, I figured I must have been drinking heavily last night. My throat felt like sandpaper. It hurt to move. It was like the flu only self-inflicted, Maybe I could sleep it off. Thinking that I curled under the duvet and closed my eyes. Even though I tried hard to sleep it off I couldn’t, I opened my eyes and looked around, it was an empty room, In the room, everything is brilliant white: tiled walls and floor, bed and linen. What is this room? there was chaos in my head; I did not know where I was. How did I get there? I looked down at myself and noticed the blanket I was gripping, I was naked and I turned my head, there was no one beside me. I was alone, I noticed my dress and underwears on the floor and the bedsheet clearly showed that I had s*x last night. I couldn’t remember what happened last night, how did I end up here? Who was I with? All these questions were playing in my head, making my head hurt more and more. I removed the blanket off my body and got down from the bed. I grabbed my clothes and wore them, I turned around to see where I left my purse but noticed something on the bed. As I slowly walked towards the bed, My heart was pounding in my chest but I tried to ignore it and slow my breathing. I grabbed the blanket and pulled it off from the bed, My eyes registered the blood dots on the bed in horror. I tried to slow down my breath and control myself, tears rushed to my eyes but I didn’t let them fall down. I took a deep breath while turning around. I glanced at the blood on the bed but before I could walk out the room I noticed a piece of paper folded neatly and placed on the table. I walked towards the table and took it from there, Mine! We will meet again. Was written in block letters and in very beautiful handwriting. There was a glass of water placed beside the paper, I took the glass and gulped it whole. I was beyond scared as I stared at the piece of paper, Who is he? My mind is empty, there was no memory of last night. I turned around and walked out there. As I was walking out, I tried hard to remember what happened last night, How did I end up there? Who was I with? I hailed a taxi and went back home. **** I opened the door with a spare key and closed it behind as I walked inside with my mind running wild with all unanswered questions and this stupid handover was still very effective. I walked to the kitchen and noticed a pink note on the fridge, Drink the juice in the fridge. By the handwriting, I could recognize it as mom’s, A smile made its way up to my lips when I saw it. I reached the glass of juice placed on the fridge while I folded the paper and placed it on the kitchen counter, by the smell of it I could say this is sore and very badly tasted. I closed my eyes as I gulped down the whole juice in one sip, I placed the empty glass in the sink and turned back. I walked to my bedroom and took a hot shower, I wrapped a fluffy white towel around my body while I walked out of the room. I got dressed and locked the door before I reached down and got inside my car. As I was driving to my office I got calls from Lydia, I didn’t answer those calls because of the heavy traffic I got stuck in. After reaching the building, I parked my car and took my things with me as I walked towards the elevator, while I stepped inside the elevator my phone began ringing again, I took it and answered it while clicking the floor number. “Hello,” “Where are you?” her voice was low like she deliberately making her voice low so that no one can hear her, “Elevator,” I replied while folding my hands over my chest, “Mr.Apollo was asking you,” she said, Hearing his name my heart began beating faster, “He came?” I asked with my shaking voice, it has been months since the last time I saw him. The day when we got that card was the last day I saw him in the office. After that I never saw him again, the cheerful ding of the elevators doors pulled me back to reality. I stepped out of the elevator and walked towards my office, while I was walking through the hallway, I saw Lydia pacing back and forth in front of my office. She was nervous and tensed, the way she was pacing made it clear that there must be something serious. I walked towards her, she noticed me and turned to me, “Go, he’s waiting for you,” she said, looking at my office. I nodded my head and took a deep breath before stepping towards my office doors, I pushed the doors and noticed Mr.Villin standing in front of the windows and staring outside with his hands placed inside his pocket. I placed my purse on the couch and stood in front of my desk, “Mr.Villin?” I called him, he was dressed in the plain light grey pants and a white shirt tucked in his pants. His hair was neatly pushed back and something in the way he was standing made me feel like something is not right, after a few seconds, he slowly turned his head to me. His ocean blues eyes landed on me, making me stand still without moving a muscle, His eyes were intense, they were cold, like ice. They pierced right through me, those cold eyes of his. I was dead nervous, I did not know how scary and intimidating his eyes could be. Something was very different in the way he was looking at me, I watched his eyes moving from my face to my nose, lips, neck till my feet like he was memorizing every part of my body. I was nervous under his hawk-like gaze, “Yo..you asked for me!” I asked nervously blinking my eyelashes, He was quiet, still staring at my face intensely. I can see right through his eyes like he was having an internal battle with himself, debating whether he should talk or not. “Mr.Villin?” I stared at him in confusion as to why he was quiet for this long. He glanced at me before turning back, I stared at his back not knowing what to do! I had many doubts running in my mind, what is he doing here? What does he want to say? Why me? As these questions were running in my mind I watched him turning around and looking at me with his piercing blue eyes, “I have a plan to expose the person behind those cards,” he said with his deep voice. Hearing his words I took a deep slow breath like I was preparing myself for an unknown battle, I noticed the little spark he had in his blue eyes while he said that to me. The look on his face made the hair on my body stand up, the evil glint in the eyes made my insides shiver. “W...what plan?” I shuttered, a sinister smirk made its way up to his lips. I gulped visibly noticing the look he had. AUTHOR’S NOTE: Hey guy’s, I’ll update regularly from today, forgive me for late updates.
