Chapter 5: There's no way to explain it

The next morning, Regina woke up with a headache and a broken body. She felt as if she had fallen yesterday, so her body was so tired and sore.

Regina let out a sigh and slowly sat up, but she suddenly realized that something wasn't quite right. What the hell does she have an arm around her waist like that? This is clearly a man's arm, because it's very muscular and solid.

She panicked and recalled the events of last night.

She and the old billionaire went to eat at a luxury restaurant in the hotel. Then she got drunk and he tried to rape her. Fortunately, she found a way to escape, and then she bumped into a man, his face was very familiar but she couldn't remember who it was for a moment. And then, what happened after that Regina couldn't remember for the time being.

Based on Regina's hazy memory, the man lying next to her must have been the same man who had taken her out of the hotel yesterday. Both bodies were naked and stuck together. All evidence proves they made love. But Regina didn't feel very real, the place between her legs was only a little sore but not painful, but her best friend once said that she couldn't get out of bed after making love for the first time. So she and he ended up having sex?

Regina blushed at the thought of that, her thoughts confused and panicked.

She could feel the man still fast asleep, his face buried in her neck and his breathing steady. Regina shifted slightly to the side, then she turned her face to study the man's face.

"Huh... huh?" Regina was so shocked that she covered her mouth.

This man who was hugging her tightly and sleeping soundly wasn't Darryl Rider? She still remembered him well, he was the most feared mafia in Italy. At the party a week ago, she was also forced to kiss him. Who would have thought they were sleeping in the same bed now.

She volunteered to get herself drunk to forget everything rather than discover this horrifying truth. Because this is so hard to believe.

Regina took a deep breath, slowly lifted the sturdy arm around her waist, then got off the bed and quickly dressed.

"Oh, where's my bra?" Regina thought to herself, she looked towards the bed and suddenly felt speechless.

Last night, it looked like she was lying on top of her own bra. This morning, her bra was somehow pressed under Darryl's cheek. She tried to pull off her bra slightly, not expecting it to make Darryl a little startled. Seeing Darryl's nose twitch slightly, Regina was scared to death because she thought Darryl would wake up. Fortunately, he was still fast asleep, but she didn't expect him to bury his face in her bra.

Surely Regina couldn't get her bra now, no matter how brave she was, she couldn't.

After all, Regina had to wrap a towel around her boobs and quickly leave. Darryl's mansion is huge. Regina had to walk around a few times to find the exit. At first she wondered why Darryl's mansion had no bodyguards to watch, if he wasn't afraid of a surprise enemy raid.

It wasn't until she exited the gate that she knew that Darryl's residence did not need a bodyguard because the whole villa is equipped with the most advanced security system, any strange behavior or intention to break into the villa will be was shot into a beehive by an automatic gun.

By the time Regina reached the gate, one of Darryl's close subordinates drove up and took her home. It was also he who had warned her not to touch the gate or any other place by herself if she didn't want to put herself in danger. According to what he said, Darryl Rider had instructed all of his subordinates to keep an eye on her. Regina doesn't know why Darryl did that, maybe it's related to the part of last night's memory that I can't recall at the moment.

After all, what did you and him talk about? Why did he help her and bring her back to his mansion?

There were too many questions in Regina's mind that she could not answer on her own.

As soon as she got home, Regina saw her father and stepmother in the living room. Before Regina could say a word, Anne jumped to her feet, rushed towards Regina and gave her a painful slap. Regina's entire small face was turned to the side, one cheek marked by five red fingers.

Regina stood frozen, looking at Anne in disbelief. Since Anne married her father, although she often secretly bullied and blamed her, after all, she never actually hit her in front of her father. But now she slaps her harshly without respect, which proves that your father also implicitly allows her to do it.

Regina's heart ached more than the pain in her cheeks.

"You're such a fool. Didn't your father and I tell you to be obedient and follow Sir Peter? We heard this morning he was in the hospital and had three stitches on his forehead. How do you explain this?"

Under Anne's interrogation, Regina bit her lip and held back tears. She herself did not know how to explain what had happened last night, because she did not remember well.

"I was so scared, so I hurt him. I didn't mean to harm anyone." Regina's voice trembled.

"Not intentionally? Then why did someone tell us you ran away with your boyfriend?" Anne hissed in a hoarse voice. That shows she's really mad.

"Boyfriend? Who? You don't have a boyfriend?" Regina didn't understand for a moment who Anne was referring to.

"Are you still denying it?" Anne thought Regina was lying, so she grabbed Regina's collar and yanked. "Look, you're a whore. This family fell into poverty because of you. Sir Peter said he only agreed to help our family if you were a virgin. Well, now you're like a lewd whore, you don't even wear your bra. Did this family teach you that?"

Regina's collar was pulled low, red kiss marks visible on her white skin. The towel wrapped around her boobs was more like an accusation against her. Regina clutched her collar in panic and sank to the ground, sobbing. She had absolutely no way of explaining to them what had happened.

"Enough." Mr. Joshua, who had been holding his head until now, finally spoke up. He growled and looked at his wife with warning eyes, indicating that she shouldn't bully Regina too much. "First, go back to your room and dress properly, I don't want this family to have a daughter with a bad reputation."

Regina snorted, wiped her tears and quickly ran back to her bedroom. Her mood was extremely bad. Her stepmother cursed and berated her for losing her virginity, her father only cared about the family's fame and prosperity and she was of no importance to him.

Regina entered the bathroom and soaked herself in the tub, scrubbing her entire body with soap as if she wanted to wash away her shame.
