Escaping

★★★

“Stop that bitch!!” Some men screamed behind Jessica, who staggeringly ran with her blurry eyes. Her step-sister, who attended the same college as her, informed her about their college reunion at this five-star resort, but it was all a plot to wreck her life.

She knew who was responsible for drugging her. Since the first day of her first year, Rilika, her stepsister, had been envious of her relationship with Arthur.

She then exerted every effort—which she was successful in doing—to destroy her. Arthur cheated on Jessica with Rilika.

They slept together and recorded videos of their intimate night for Jessica to watch. Jessica was heartbroken and had not even fully recovered from the shock. She was an 18-year-old lady who was unable to handle this level of heartache, and Rilika had just done something dreadful to ruin her.

Jessica was given a potent drug that made her entire body feel as though it were on fire. She had been focusing hard on finding a place to hide because she did not want to pass out in this area or be taken away by these mobs.

She wasn't very familiar with the resort, so She hurried back and forth. The moment she noticed a room door was open, she knew she could stay hidden there for some time.

After entering, Jessica locked the door. She exhaled while leaning her head against the door.

She turned around and realized the room was dark and chilling cold. Jessica did not want to move, but she was unable to stand the cold and the darkness prevented her from seeing the AC remote.

She took a few tentative steps, but as soon as her feet hit something, she fell to the ground. Her face brushed the side of a man's neck as she hit a body.

Her racing heart briefly wanted to cry out "Dead body." But when her waist was coiled by the arm, she felt the ultimate terror.

Jessica knew she was in trouble.

“Leave me,” Jessica attempted to stand up by pushing his chest, but she was unsuccessful. Once more, her face hit the hard chest.

“Have you not purposefully come here?" The man said in a raspy voice. “What's the point of hesitation when you can take advantage of me,” the man said again.

“A group of men are pursuing me, and I accidentally entered this room. Please let me go,” Jessica spoke while her voice was in pain from the drugs in her system; she also did not want to leave this man's arms, but her self-esteem prevented her from doing so.

The man swirled her body with one arm and made her lay under him as he said, “Be mine. I will protect you.”

In addition to having numb ears, Jessica could feel her heartbeat racing against her ribcage. She had never met this man and couldn't see him, but something in his words made her feel as though her burning body had received some ointment. Despite not knowing whether she was ugly or a bad person, he showed some compassion.

When Jessica's last strength failed, she wrapped her arms around his neck and snatched his warm lips. The man gave her a back kiss while he let out a deep groan. The man then led Jessica to the bed after picking her up from the floor. Despite the fact that they did not know one another, the touches they were receiving from each other were making them happy.

Their clothes were soon thrown on the floor, and their bodies melted in the heat of the passion. It was the man's first time touching a girl, and he couldn't deny how much he liked her. Her touches on his body, and her voice when it moaned in delight aroused him even further.

Jessica raised her head and kissed his shoulder blade, then moved her lips to his chest. She wasn't sure if it was because of the drug, but she didn't hate his body or find his contacts repulsive. Despite having a previous relationship, she was never touched by Arthur, causing chaos in their relationship, and ultimately leading to its dissolution when her stepsister voluntarily climbed into Arthur's bed.

Jessica was in the cloud until her senses were shot open by a sharp pain between her legs. She whimpered as her entire body tensed up. The man stopped himself from going further and asked, “Do you want me to stop?”

Jessica shook her head because, despite the pain she was in, her body was begging for it.

She whispered, "No," as loud as she could.

With both hands resting firmly on the bed, the man balanced himself before pushing his hips.

“If the pain feels harsh, I will withdraw myself," He said once he completely settled in her. "All you have to do is ask."

“Hmm!” Jessica hummed but she wanted to ask if he was really gentle. She knew that a man would not care about a girl in this kind of situation especially if he did not know the woman under him.

The man lowered his head and met her lips as he began to move inside her. The feeling of warmth on her lips distracted Jessica from the pain, allowing her to enjoy the sensations that arose.

She could not tell whether she was doing right or wrong but she definitely liked him.

The night sky was illuminated by a large round dot, and the enclosed space released a lovely musky scent. The room's windows let moonlight enter, and there was stillness throughout.

On the bed, two people were sleeping soundly next to each other. The man protectively grabbed Jessica’s waist, and she felt safe.

Rilika became enraged when her dispatchers informed her that Jessica had not entered the room she had reserved for her.

"You're all useless. A woman got away right under your nose."

“Forgive us,” one of them said.

“You fucked up my whole day.”

Gritting her teeth, Rilika said, "I am waiting with my wine glass to hear the good news instead, I have to listen to apologies." She then threw the wine glass white-painted wall.

"We could have taken her out, but she chose that particular room," The same mob told Rilika about what had prevented them from getting to the girl.

“What kind of dinosaur is that in the room that scared you off?" Rilika said in annoyance.

“Second Master of Grey, Liam Grey.”

“What?” Rilika's eyes were wide open and her mouth hit the jaw. Jessica went into Liam Grey's room and she had not been thrown out.

“That means,” Rilika did not want to think.

“Are you certain Liam Grey is there?"

Rilika double-checked to make sure it was the Grey family's Second master.

If Jessica came out unscathed, the second master likely accepted her.

She could not allow this to happen... No... No.
