Chapter 5

The next morning, the sun was just peeking in the sky, slowly brightening up the whole city. Eva was sleeping soundly on a soft king-size bed in a hotel room.

Eva let out a soft groan in pain as she groggily blinked her eyelid. 'Ughhh!!....Why do I feel so weak?'She felt like a person who had been specially graced and honored with the biggest hangover.

She felt mouth was dry as she clutched her head which was throbbing in pain with her hand. Eva tried to open her eyes but due to the faint light from the rising sun outside that had shined through the small gap in the curtain which brightened up the darkroom. Eva had to close her eyes back and blinked a few times to adjust to the brightness.

Staring at the unfamiliar ceiling, and taking a proper glance at the room. It was spacious, the walls were painted in white giving the room a bright ambience. It was decorated with various expensive modern furnitures giving the whole room a cozy and homey atmosphere.

Eva could tell that this was a hotel room despite the homey vibe it gave off but this made her crease her brows together because she had no memories walking into this room last night.

'Where am l? What happened last night?' She recalled herself getting extremely drunk at the club. Then…. that's right. She was told to go to the second floor and booked a room. Was this her room?

Eva lifted her body upward to sit up but suddenly a hiss escaped out of her as she felt an intense amount of pain in her entire body. Even her lower place was aching in pain….a lot.

Still managing to force herself to sit up, she hissed out. 'Argh!! It hurt like hell! Just what the hell happened to me!! Eh?! What is this-' Eva stopped her thought as her body went stiff when she realized that something heavy draped over her waist. She slowly turned her head and was horrified by the sight she saw next.

"Eeekk!!" She quickly covered her mouth in order to stop herself from screaming.

'OH! MY! GOD!!!!!!! A man!!!! What is a man doing lying beside me?!!!' Although the blankets covered his body from his waist downward. With common sense she could still tell that he was naked underneath the bed cover because one of the man's legs was also on top of hers.

The instant Eva saw this sight, her face was derived from all colors and turned white. The corner of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.

'W-ho is this man?' Her heart began to panic. Eva closed her eyes as she tried to recall how things led to this situation.

'Think, think, very hard, Eva! Just what the heck happened last night? Did you get so drunk that you went wild and brought a man into your hotel room?' As she thought hard to remember what happened, images of last night slowly flooded back into her brain.

She remembered drinking three bottles of alcohol, booking a room, entering the elevator, being grabbed by an unknown person when she was about to enter her hotel room….and then…..and then….

"Be good." A deep masculine voice resounded in her head. Eva's eyes popped open as she screamed internally, the entire night till morning….she and him…

'Somehow he has a charming voice. No, wait, who cares about his voice. The most important thing is, I just had a….a one night stand with a complete stranger.'

The colors on her face turned even paler as she turned to glance at the man sleeping beside her.

'Damn it!!!' Eva inwardly let out a curse. Remembering everything that happened last night, her mind was in total chaos at the moment. Lifting her hand and clutched her head tightly, who knew she was going to spend her wedding night with a stranger.

She lifted the bedsheet again to sneak a peek at her naked body once again, and she was completely baffled by the many visible bite marks. The constant throbbing pain in her body made her wonder how many times they did it last night. She was too drunk to remember.

'Evangeline!! How could you be this stupid and careless?!! Aahhhhhh!!!!' Eva screamed crazily on the top of her lungs in her mind as she continued berating herself, feeling a little disappointed.

It was her first and she had to lost her virginity to a man. And most of all, she thought her first would be memorable, doing it with the man she loved. However, she couldn't even remember how the whole night of her first time happened

Eva stopped rampaging in her mind when she felt an intense stare from her side.

"You're awake?" A deep voice sounded near her. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard his voice. She robotically turned her head toward his direction.

Deep dark eyes that were shining brightly like a glistering universe, yet they were gazing at her intensely.

Despite the cold and aloof facial expressions, Eva went frozen as she couldn't help but be captivated and stare at those dark eyes that looked like they were seeing through one's soul.

Eva felt suffocated for some unknown reasons as they stared at each other without blinking.

"Arghhh!!" Eva yelped. Without a warning, the man's hand that was still wrapped around her waist pulled her closer to him, making her fall back onto the bed and came face to face with him.

Eva was startled and tried to push the man away, but he had her sealed tightly between his embrace.

Seeing that her effort was useless, she took a deep breath trying to calm herself down. "Mister, can you let go of me. I don't want you to get the wrong idea but what happened between you and I last night was only a one-night stand…..so if you don't mind let both pretend none of this ever happened." Eva remarked. She can remember back then from her friends that a lot of people had one-night stands and there were no strings attached to it. Since this was exactly like their situation, she was hoping that the man would be understanding of what she meant.

"Who said this was a one-night stand?" Hearing the man's deep cold words, Eva was stunned.

'Haha…Eva, what in the world have you gotten yourself into?!!!' Eva struggled again but his right hand held her in place, his sharp gaze boring deeply into hers almost like a vicious glare.

Eva gulped then furrowed her brows as she thought about his words. "What do you mean? Isn't this…." Eva was unable to finish her words, as he cut her off mid-sentence with a low growl.

"I said this isn't a one-night stand. And you have to take responsibility."
