Monalisa POV.I shook my head, scattering my filthy thoughts.What was wrong with me?Was the drug still affecting me?Take your mind away from the gutter, Mona!I scolded myself.I remembered saying I was going to take things slow. Get to know a guy before jumping into bed with him."Thank you for helping me last night, I guess I should be more careful with who I associate with here in Vegas," I thanked him."Yeah, you should," he agreed. "If I hadn't acted fast, you'd be waking up in someone else's bed.""Yep, I would," I nodded, "And that would be my neighbor, Ethan's bed."His brows furrowed, "That twip from last night is your neighbor?" He asked surprised."Yes," I answered. I was also shocked to know that my neighbor had tried to drug me, just so he could sleep with me."Wow, some people are just twisted in the head," he remarked, then shrugged a shoulder. "Well, I can see why he would try that," his eyes traveled over my body, as though he was mentally undressing me. "With how
Monalisa POV."Drugged?" I repeated, mortified.Then I laughed, "You're joking right?""I'm not," he said simply without a hint of a smile.I stared at him, and he stared back unblinking.Wait. Was he serious?"And how would you know that?" I demanded."It's a common thing that happens around clubs. I've seen it too many times to know," he said lightly.Really?They usually drugged women in clubs in Vegas?"Why would anyone drug me?" I inquired, confused.He harrumphed, "The guy you were with, how well do you know him?"Hold on a minute....He wasn't insinuating that Ethan was the one who spiked my drink, was he?But how?He wasn't the one who served the drinks."No," I refused, "The guy I was with couldn't have done that to me.""Why not?""Because he wasn't the one who made the drinks, he didn't have access to them," I pointed out. "Secondly, there's no reason for him to do that to me."He tilted his head at me, "You think?"I shrugged.I couldn't think of any reason why."You seem
Monalisa POV."Wake up, beautiful," the deep male voice said touching my face.Feeling weak and dizzy, I managed to open my eyes and saw that we were standing outside the club.My eyes traveled to the face of the person talking to me and I saw it was Greg.I was reclining in his arms as he supported my weight. I felt boneless and couldn't even stand up straight."Where do you live, so I can hail you a cab?" His voice boomed over me.I opened my mouth to answer, but once again the darkness overwhelmed me.........................."What's your address, beautiful?" His voice called to me again, rousing me awake from the darkness.This time around we were seated in a car.I was strapped to the front seat, and he sat in the driver's seat.His fingers were on his car's dashboard GPS, ready to punch in my address."Tell me, so I can drive you home," he said calmly.My head was aching really badly and I was barely managing to open my eyes."Where's Ethan?" I struggled to say, before the dark
Monalisa POV.Ethan took me to a club in the area.The place seemed to be teeming with a lot of bars, lounges, restaurants, Casinos, and Hotels.We walked into the club and immediately my brows shot up.I'd never been to a club before, this was my first time.I didn't know what to expect, but the place was big, a bit dark, and had so many colorful lights.There was a large counter with lots and lots of drinks lining the shelf behind. Surrounding the counter were tall barstools.There was a small stage in a corner and a DJ stood up there, playing some loud music.Tall round tables dotted the place with no seats.The place was empty, save for a handful of people.Ethan led us to the counter."Where's everyone?" I asked, I thought a club would be full of people."It's still early, most of them haven't arrived yet," he drew close, whispering directly into my ear so I could hear him, even though the music wasn't that loud.That made his body press up against mine."When do they come?" I in
Monalisa POV.Awesome!I was having a great night.Ethan took me to a nice bar in the heart of the city.One of the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, MGM Resorts.We stayed in their BetMGM Sportsbook and lounge.It was a beautiful place.Not too luxurious and not too small-scale. Right in the middle where the food and drinks were affordable for everyone.The entertainment was insane.It mainly anchored a sports bar & lounge, it also had LED video walls, dozens of TV screens, and 23 video poker machines.I wasn't really into sports, but Ethan was a die-hard fan of a soccer team and interested in betting on the scores, playoff stakes, and fantasy football.Such entertainment was hard to come by in Salt Lake.Well, I couldn't say for sure, because over there, I wasn't the outdoorsy type.Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere, the rowdy ambiance, and the games while I sipped from my cocktail.We were doing strictly drinks, no fine dining. That's what we could afford.I already had some burger and f
Monalisa POV.A week rolled by as I settled down in Vegas.It was downright hectic.Over the couple of days, Maya kept trying to contact me with strange numbers.Whenever I took the call and heard her voice, I immediately ended it, not giving her time to speak.Then that number too was put on block.Again, she would use another number to text me, pleading with me to please calm down and give her a minute to explain everything.Once I read the message, I deleted it and blacklisted the number.She resorted to sending me long emails, telling me how sorry she was. Writing to me through my Dm's on Facebook and Instagram.I blocked her on those platforms and restricted her email address.Gosh.I was so furious with her.Of all the men she could have had, why did it have to be my Dad?If she really was remorseful for blindsiding me, she would have owned up to it a long time ago.At least said something to me.She never did.She was only now apologizing to me because she got caught.As for my
