Chapter 53: Chapter 53

Birds were chirping and the sun was up when I woke up. I felt horrible and confused and dazed all in one.

My phone, which I couldn’t find now, seemed to not stop ringing since earlier.

I stood up but only noticed how completely naked I was. I gasped, instantly looking for my clothes but then hissed as the headache tolled on me. Damn, what the hell happened last night?

I only remembered seeing Harry in the bar and I accepted the drinks offered by the handsome man….

And that same handsome man was sleeping beside me right now, completely naked too as the blanket covered him a bit.

His face was not that visible as he slept on his stomach, his back muscles evident. I shut my eyes, regretting what kind of decision I made.

Sleeping around is not part of me! I am Saphira! I value my chastity and virtue only to end up throwing it away!

To think I was saving myself for marriage with Harry...

And now that my purity was stolen by this handsome jerk, I do not know what to feel.

Tsk.

I grabbed some water from the nightstand, letting things sink in first before I took action.

Since the unknown man is still sleeping, I have to hurry and leave before I have to engage in small talk.

It would be too awkward and I don’t know what to do or say to him.

Like what else should I say?

“Excuse me, what exactly happened last night? Cause if you remember it, I clearly don’t. And please forget what happened last night 'cause we just had too much drink and got horny.”

As if I could say that!

The house was too big. Good thing that I had brought my bag so I had some stash of cash here.

I instantly made my way outside the room and tried to find my way out. Good thing that there was no person in sight so leaving was too easy for me.

Just then, my phone rang for the hundredth time. Tori’s name kept on flashing and instead of ignoring her, I finally sighed and gave in.

“You bitch.” I was greeted in anger as soon as I answered the phone.

“Saphira! Omg, thank goodness you are fine! I kept on calling you, but you were not answering!”

“Of course, I would,t I am angry with you for leaving me last night!”

“I know, I am sorry, but I was too worried that I almost called the cops to report you missing!”

I rolled my eyes, cutting the call off as I am not in the mood to argue with her. I was trying to look around for a taxi.

I furrowed my eyebrows, this neighborhood feels so secluded! Why the heck is this mansion even located in the middle of the woods?

What kind of person did I just hooked up with? A wanted person? A killer? A psychopath? Or some strange vampire or werewolf?

I was getting impatient when suddenly, a man in uniform emerged from the house.

“Excuse me, miss.” He called for me, and I paused.

“Yes?”

“I am this house’s caretaker and butler who manage all the affairs of this house. My master ordered me last night to take you home safely.”

I blinked, master? By the way, this man sounded so polite and formal, I wonder what kind of trouble I just entered?

How in the hell is someone in this century calling their boss master?

Unless this is some kind of mafia boss?

Chills suddenly rang up my spine and I gulped.

“Uhm…what’s your master’s name?” I asked in curiousness, just so I could search on the internet.

He blinked, “I am afraid that information is for my master to tell you.”

I nodded, wanting to push further but I am not going to challenge my luck.

“Please wait while I get the car.”

I nodded as he excused himself and went into another door inside.

I waited, standing there awkwardly as I tried to etch in my brain and memorize all the interior and patterns of this magnificent house.

I wanted to run away but then I don’t have my car with me and could not spot a taxi nearby so I waited for a few minutes. It didn’t take long for an engine to sound followed by a limousine appearing.

A limo?

Are you kidding me?

“Is there a problem miss?” The butler asked.

I shook my head, “No, but, you’ll really drive me around with this?”

He raised his eyebrows, “Is this not your liking, miss? I shall grab the Tesla or the Rolls-Royce-“

“No, this is enough.” I shut him off before he could finish. My mouth gaped, now confirming how big a deal the man I just hooked up with was. I have been to lots of parties with tons of billionaires and very elite people just because of my father forcing me to socialize back then but I couldn't remember how the same I hooked up with was there.

“Get inside miss.”

“Where shall I take you?”

“Just…drop me by the mall.”

I told him and he nodded. I do not want to show up at Tori’s house with a limo and a strange butler by my side. That girl would definitely force me to spill everything.

The butler was very quiet so the whole ride was awkward. I tried to engage myself with my phone but it was low battery.

Right, I forgot to charge it. Damn.

“Here, miss.” As if it was telepathic, the butler instantly handed me a charger and I charged my phone.

When we arrived at the mall, I instantly hopped off and waved goodbye to him, and went inside.

I went to a coffee shop and had a coffee first. then my phone rang again.

“Tori, I told you, stop it,” I said in annoyance without even glancing at the phone.

“Saphira? This is your father. Where did you run off to?

I blinked, “Dad?” Then I remembered how he abandoned me as a daughter just a few days ago. Did he suddenly have a change of heart?

“Saphira, I sent you a text to meet up with your sister’s fiance. It’s time you need to acquaint yourself with your future husband.”

I blinked, future husband? “I already told you that I am not your daughter anymore. You abandoned me the moment you chose her over me. I am not the one who cheated, I was the one who got cheated on for goodness sake!”

“You are the second daughter of this household, you will abide by my rules, so whether you like it or not, child, go to that date I set you up with.”

I rolled my eyes, oh damn. I won’t.

“I know you went to a club. You’ve been on the news.” I breathed deeply, knowing this will happen. Of course, the media won’t shut up. But when did I get that interesting for the media to report? I was just a side character, a bystander in the background, they didn’t even care about taking pictures of me at parties, so what changed?

“If you continue this act, I swear you’ll regret this. We are losing the company, remember that Saphira, you might save us from this.” He said and ended the call. He then sent a text message containing the address of the meetup date with my sister’s fiance.

Damn. How could my father be this heartless?

How am I unlucky with this kind of family?

I have been a good girl for them, and never once brought a bad impression to them so why am I getting treated like shit?

But deep down, I don’t want my father to lose this company.

Fine, I’ll just appear at this damn date, and it's over.

I let time pass by as I stroll around. The date was around lunch so I went in time to the address.

As I could see it, we are going on a date in some five-star dining.

“Did you make some reservation, miss?” Asked the waitress and I nodded.

“Yes, it’s under Mr. Venesian,” I said, reading the text my father sent me. The waitress's eyes widened and nodded, instantly directing me to the innermost and most private room.

“Have a nice lunch, miss.” The waitress said and left the room.

As soon as I arrived, I was shocked to see something.
