Chapter 5: Mistake

Sabrina woke up with a splitting headache. Groaning in pain, she forcibly pulled her body up and sat on the bed. 

“Ah! My head hurts!” She grumbled and touched her head. 

However, her body stiffened when she felt something slowly crawling under the blanket and snaking around her waist.  

Holding her breath, she carefully lifted the blanket only to find out that she was not wearing any clothes. In an instant, her body froze seeing a muscled arm resting on her naked torso. 

“Good morning, wife,” a warm breath fanned her left ear. 

Her eyes almost popped out of its socket. 

Immobile, her eyes were fixated at the unfamiliar arm that was comfortably wrapped around her waist.

“Still sleepy?” A deep and raspy voice entered her ears. 

Blinking several times, she finally snapped out of her trance and almost instantly, she hastily lifted the blanket to cover herself while trying to scoot aside. But unfortunately, not even an inch was she able to move as he tightened his hold around her and was not even content with it that he pulled her against his hard chest.

“Where do you think you’re going, hhm?” 

His lips touched the sensitive spot on the back of her ear that sent shivers down her spine. 

She wanted to scream as the sensation was very new to her, adding the fact that she could feel his nakedness against her skin under the blanket. 

‘This should be just a dream!’ she convinced herself while shutting her eyes tightly. 

She then started counting inwardly, expecting that the scene would change just like what usually happens whenever she was dreaming. But to her disbelief, until she reached the hundred, nothing had changed. Still, she was in the same place and the same scenario. 

“Sleep more. I know your head is aching and your whole body is sore,” he said. 

Her body stiffened. 

Shaking her head, she started counting again while convincing herself that she was still in the same dream. However, his tight hold and warm breath felt too real as what he told her about her headache and sore body was true. 

Her body shivered when she felt his soft lips touch her bare shoulder. Instantly, her eyes snapped open as her heart started thumping wildly. 

‘No. This can’t be real!’ her mind screamed.

She did not want to accept the fact that she was in bed with a stranger while fully naked. She was not that kind of girl. And she knew she would never cheat on Anthon as she loved him too much to even glance at any man other than her boyfriend!

Shutting her eyes tightly once again, she prayed once again that it was all just a freaking dream. 

“Please wake up!” She muttered loudly. 

“This is not a dream, Sabrina,” the guy stated. 

She could hear the loud sound of her heart shattering into pieces. It was as if all her hopes and dreams just snatched away from her at that moment. 

Slowly, she opened her eyes and there she saw a crystal chandelier hanging on the dark blue ceiling.

Her chest pounded loudly as she knew it was not their room. Her apartment was all white and too plain with a little to almost no furniture. 

“Do you remember what happened last night?”

Pursing her lips tightly, she did not answer. 

Her mind was still processing it all and still in denial that she was in that situation. 

“Your boyfriend dumped you and proposed to someone else,” he continued. 

Suddenly, her head snapped at him as her eyes instantly moistened upon hearing his words. 

That’s when she finally saw his face. However, her eyes were too blurry to see him clearly as the scenario in Anthon's new office immediately flashed in her mind. 

Her body went cold. Suddenly, she felt numb. 

Clenching her fists, she finally remembered that she went to the bar to drown herself with alcohol to forget about Anthon’s cheating and betrayal. 

“How much?” she suddenly asked. 

She felt the guy's hold loosened and she took that opportunity to get out of the bed. Looking around, she searched for her clothes and quickly dressed up. 

With her back facing the bed, she took out all her cash from her bag and placed it on the table before she dashed towards the door without saying a word.

Although she could not remember everything that happened last night as she was too drunk, she knew it was all a mistake. It was the first time she ever got drunk and she had no idea how she was when intoxicated. 

“Where do you think you’re going?” 

Her feet got rooted on the spot as she was suddenly trapped by his arms once again. 

“You think I want your money?” He asked in a deep voice. 

Her body shivered at the coldness of his tone. But she held his arms firmly and tried to pull it off of her but to no avail. 

“That’s all the money I have. Let me go now, please..” she pleaded. 

“Do you remember what we did last night?” 

Immediately, she shook her head in response. She actually did not want to know what they did that night as she already had an idea based on the soreness she felt down there. 

“Let me remind you,” he said. 

“No!” She exclaimed. She then shook her ahead again profusely, “It’s just a mistake. I was very drunk and didn’t know what I was doing. Please, just let me leave in peace,” her voice trembled. 

The guy’s hold slowly loosened until he completely let her go. 

She let out a sigh of relief as she thought he was finally letting her leave that room. However, his next word stopped her from moving forward. 

“Is that what you are going to say to your husband?”
