I was dizzy and weak, his hands started crawling on my thigh. My brain doesn't like what he's doing but my body doesn't follow, I can't move."N-no… D-Don't, please…" The voice that came out of my mouth was weak, there was no point even if I said it repeatedly. He didn't seem to hear anything, he just continued doing what he wanted to me."Oh no, why are you crying? Don't pretend, you already said that you and your friend are also coming here. You like what I'm doing, right?" he bent down and kissed my knee.My whole body began to tremble, and the fear I felt spread throughout my system. Every caress and kiss he made on my skin, was terrifying, I didn't want that…I was like a helpless child, only weak helpless sobs coming out of my mouth."Come on, you're making me more excited with your looks. Or are you trying to seduce me with your tearful face?" He caressed my cheek, I could feel the heat of his fingers on my skin which made me even more nervous.“N-No… that's not true, please. D
"Sorry for being late, Ma'am." The waiter bowed in front of me before he wrapped me with the blanket he was carrying, "I'm not sure if my suspicions are right, so I talked to my boss first before we took action."My body is still shaking, and even touching the waiter gives me fear even though I know he won't do anything bad to me. "don't worry like my boss said we just need to catch him in the act and that's what happened. That man can't get away with the law."He gave me a soothing smile before finally standing up and approaching the man earlier, that must have been the boss he was talking about. I couldn't look away when his attention was drawn to me, somehow, his face was familiar.He patted the waiter on the shoulder and walked towards me, I tightly held the blanket around my body."Don't be afraid, I'm the owner of this hotel and bar." His voice was cold like before but the worry in his tone was there and he was trying to calm me down. "can you get up, we need to go to the hospit
A blinding light from the window woke me up, it wasn't just a nightmare that happened to me but real. I immediately shifted my attention to the sofa on the side, hoping that Craig would still be there but I was disappointed."Oh, you're finally awake." That's the word I heard when the door opened, it was Mom carrying some Tupperware, "how are you feeling?"She's talking to me but her eyes are not looking at me, I feel and know the reason but I want to hear from her, myself. I also want to hear words from her similar to what Craig said to me yesterday."I'm talking to you, why don't you answer? Do you think you have the right to treat me like that because I ordered you to go on that blind date? Do you also blame me like your father?!” Her eyes looked at me angrily, even her voice rose a little.Like me, even Mama was surprised by what she did, she went back to preparing the food she brought to the small table. "Eat now, the doctor said you can be discharged later."She didn't wait for
Darius's POVAs if someone threw a bucket of cold water at me as I heard what she said over the phone, what have I been thinking since yesterday... If only I talk to her before her day off, damn!I couldn't understand what I was feeling, I get disgusted with myself every time I remember the coldness, I behaved that day. Just knowing that she was going on a blind date, I didn't talk to her, isn't that too childish?!"Sir, where are you going?" I closed my eyes tightly when I heard the voice of my temporary secretary again, "You have a meeting, you need to go back to the meeting room, it starts in ten minutes."Meeting, meeting. There is no end, yesterday my head was hurting because of what was happening over and over again. I back in my senses, "I have an urgent thing to do, can't we postpone it?"I know that everything is important, but... I need to know what happened to her, my mind won't be quiet and at ease. I won't be able to concentrate on the meeting if I don't go to her now."B
Lia's POVMy head ached even more because I cried too much earlier, I immediately turned around when I remembered that Sir Darius was here. At first, I expected him to be gone when I noticed it was getting dark outside, but when I turned to the sofa he was still there.Holding the tablet, he was seriously talking on his cell phone at the same time. I slowly got off the bed but he immediately noticed me, he was about to stand up to help me when I shook my head and signaled to continue what he was doing.Even though he didn't like what I wanted, he still followed it and didn't leave his seat, but his eyes continued to follow me until I entered the bathroom.My hands were cold and I immediately covered my face when I saw my reflection in the mirror, I looked like a child who hadn't combed her hair in days...Apart from that, I now understand why he reacted like that when he saw my cheek, it was so red and swollen.“Ouch!” A loud moan came out of my lips when I tried to touch it, it wasn'
That day he just drove me back to my house as we agreed, he didn't even manage to wait for my parents to introduce himself or even say goodbye to them and just left after.It's a bit embarrassing that I wasn't even able to offer him anything, it’s been many times he took me home, but I never invited him once to come inside the house."Oh, where is the one that brought you home? Why didn't you even introduce us to them?” Dad asked after they arrived, tiredness and stress evident on his face.Mom didn't say anything but I could see the same thing on her face, a little bit disappointed which made me feel a little bit that the outcome of what they took care of was not good."I'm sorry, maybe next time. He also has a lot to do," I can't say that the man who drove me home is my boss, for sure it was a big deal to them and we all tired for me to explain. Well, that doesn't usually happen...I took two glasses and a pitcher of cold water, "drink it first," I tried to smile to ease the weight
"Huh? How did you get my contact number?” I asked nervously."Because I have my ways, Lia. So, how are you?" His voice became serious, "I heard your family is filing a lawsuit, unfortunately..."I snorted loudly, "Yes, unfortunately, we don't have a match." I finished what he had to say.Both lines were silent for a while, I didn't know what to say again either."Do you want me to help you, guys?" He spoke again, the sincerity in his voice was obvious. "If I give a statement, the case process will be easier."I shook my head even though I knew he couldn't see me, "I don't want to drag in our problem and your name become on the bad side of others, another thing is that your business might be affected by chance." I walked away from my parent’s room. “I will just hope we can find a better way to fight the case.""Method? What method is better than my statement?” He asked curiously, "Are you planning to use money too?""Hmm... I don't know yet, are you sure you're ready to help us?" It's
Darius's POV“Good evening, Sir!” The bar host greeted me, I just nodded in response and hurriedly walked up to the second floor where Craig's office was. I couldn't even knock, I immediately opened it loudly."The f*ck, what is your problem?!" The surprise on his face was obvious, "isn't it your style to knock?"He covered his cell phone as if he didn't want the other person to hear what he was saying, "Tsk, why not end that call first? I need something from you, it's important." I sat on the sofa and looked at him seriously.He didn't seem to have anything to do so he hung up and got up from where he was sitting and moved to the sofa in front of me. "What important thing do you want us to talk about now, Bro? Did your mother contact you again or did something happen in the company?”"Nothing like that happened, but I heard something that amused me for real." I sarcastically said that his forehead immediately furrowed even more."I don't know what it is but yeah, spill the beans." He
