Chapter 0001

Sarah's POV

The music sounds resonate with the whole place as the celebration continues. John Hills, the birthday boy, was in the center of it all, surrounded by friends. And as his girlfriend, I was watching from afar while smiling gently.

I wasn't the type who loved places like this, but I had to be present for the sake of my boyfriend. Then, I caught sight of Eloha at the corner of the club and got a strange feeling. It showed something was off about her.

I wanted to walk up to her to know what was happening to her, but it was obvious Eloha won't tell me, I mean, we are stepsisters, but Eloha took me as the enemy, so it's better to stay by myself than to look for Eloha’s trouble.

"Let the birthday boy dance with his girlfriend!" So I heard, and instantly, I felt shy, but I managed to drag my legs to the spotlight and move my body slowly to the music.

"Hurray!!! Let's wish the celebrant in a loud voice," the coordinator screamed, and everyone chorused. "Happy Birthday To John!!!"

Seeing this, I rejoiced with my boyfriend as someone mistakenly poured wine on my dress. "Oh gosh! I'm sorry. Are you okay? It wasn't intentional, I didn't mean it that way. I'm so sorry. The person felt so apologetic that I couldn't get mad since it wasn't intentional.

"Oh, it's fine! I will just clean myself up," I muttered with a smile, assuring the person before leaving for the restroom. However, as I was trying to find my way to the restroom and there, I got outside.

"Where is the restroom for goodness' sake?" I muttered as I held my dress, trying to clean the wine stain with my hand.

Unfortunately, a car almost bashed me out of nowhere, and my heart stopped working in shock. “What the hell!” I shouted, storming over to him, with annoyance boiling over me. "Are you blind or something? Huh!"

I yelled, feeling deeply annoyed because of the effect it had on me. My mind was engrossed with getting to a restroom, and then, a blind person almost hit me with a car.

"Young lady, who the fuck are you? Why would you talk to me in that manner? Do you know who I am?" The man demanded, coming down from his car.

"Oh my goodness, see this idiot talking back at me when he was supposed to apologize for what he did. Listen, young man, I don't care about who you are, I only care about my self-respect, so you should apologize for what you did instead of asking me irrelevant questions."

I was expecting him to apologize and feel sorry for what he did, but his pride got him high as his eyes were filled with no remorse whatsoever. "I will make sure you regret what you just did," He declared, with fury echoing in his voice.

Hearing his words, I was rather perplexed as this was my first time meeting someone as arrogant as he was. Who exactly did he think he was? I touched my head dramatically and sighed heavily. "Now I understand why some people don't like coming to clubs at times. It’s filled with mad people, especially the mannerless one,” I voiced as I didn’t bother waiting for his annoying response before walking away.

However, after a long search, I finally found my way to the restroom. But even after that, I still couldn't shake the feelings of annoyance as my encounter with that annoying pest of a man kept playing in my head.

"So annoying!" I muttered to myself while I cleaned up, and not too long, the stain became spotless and so I left the restroom back to the club.

As I made my way into the club, I realized it was time to make a toast with the birthday boy. And at that moment, I felt so proud to be John's girlfriend. Even though I couldn't tolerate alcohol but for him, I would do just anything.

Hastily, I picked up a drink from the bartender, who came to me as I couldn't miss this crucial moment to make a toast to my boyfriend.

Meanwhile, fifteen minutes later, I started feeling hot and thirsty, then I thought maybe it was my first time tasting alcohol, or maybe my throat was just acting up because of my low alcohol tolerance. However, as the minutes passed, I couldn't hold it any longer as my head began spinning and I felt hotter than before every second.

Then, I tried to find my way back to the restroom as someone grabbed me from behind instead, and instantly, I gasped, only to realize it was the bartender who served me a drink earlier.

"Ma'am, let me take you to the nearby restroom," He offered, with a lot of willingness in his expression.

However, I managed to smile despite my cheeks turning red. "Thanks for this."

And within five minutes, we made our way into a large bright room which was located upstairs in the club. It felt somehow strange to me despite my condition, so I questioned. "Where is this place?"

The bartender quickly came with a response. "Oh, it's a special place for our customers, you can make use of the restroom instead of going outside."

I cursed in her head, if I had known about this place beforehand, I wouldn't have bumped into that idiot earlier. Suddenly, my head spun continued as I slumped on the bed.

"I'm feeling hot! So hot," I muttered, battling with my dress.

"Oh, ma'am, I will call one of your friends downstairs for help." He uttered as he excused himself out of the room without waiting for my response.

I didn’t even worry about that as I was feeling extremely hot.

"Fuck, I'm so hot," I said to myself as my vision began turning blur and immediately out of nowhere, someone got on top of me and captured my lips which I responded to without any hesitation.

Soon, our clothes were lying helplessly on the floor as we enjoyed our moment, but unknown to us, something kept blinking a red light in the room.

However, on the next morning, a heavy knock on the door caused both me and the strange man to wake up from our sleep, despite still being in each other’s embrace.

And as soon as my eyes widened, only for me to realize that it was the rude man from the previous night. "What are you doing here?" I asked as I screamed out of shock but he ignored me and reached out for the door.

The instant he opened the door, someone's voice came through. "Hey, Vincenzo! Don't tell me you are just waking up after causing that shit!" The man implied.

I watched as he gave a confused look. "What exactly are you talking about, Jackson?"

The man brought out his phone and showed it to his face. "Your nude pictures are all over the internet. The fuck video was the trending search this morning" He dropped the bombshell.

"What??? Take it down!!" He shouted.

"I did, bro!” Jackson replied. “I tried to take it down, but it got to a large range before I became aware of it, and different users kept reposting, which means they were able to save it!”

“Fuck!” Vincenzo cursed as my soul almost left my body the moment I heard Jackson’s words from my body.

And at that point, I knew I was doomed.
