Chapter 3:Sex With a Stranger

The glass in my hand was already empty, but I still lifted it to my lips.

Nothing came out.I could feel myself going wild at the moment,this wasn't my first time coming to the Club but I wasn't used to coming here.

The other time I had visited the club it was on a different occasions and most times it was either Gabriel or Tessa.

Tessa had always been in the picture and I wondered why I haven't noticed all this while,how could I have never seen that she was never a friend but a snake ,how could I have been so stupid?”

“Another one,” I told the bartender.

He looked at me with concern. “Miss, maybe you should slow down.”

“Just give me another one,” I said, my voice weak but stubborn.

A few seconds later, another drink was placed in front of me. I grabbed it and swallowed it in one go. The burning feeling in my throat was the only thing that made me feel alive.

But even the alcohol couldn’t erase the images in my head.

Tessa’s smirk.

Gabriel’s body moving on top of her.

Her cruel words.

I never loved you.

You’re just someone we pitied.

I pressed my fingers against my temples, trying to stop the memories.

Why did it hurt so much?

Why did the people I loved always turn against me?

I had already lost my parents. I had already grown up feeling unwanted. And now the only two people I trusted had destroyed me.

Another tear rolled down my cheek.

“I hate you,” I whispered, not sure if I was talking about them… or myself.

The music in the bar was loud, and people were laughing around me. But I felt completely alone.

I lifted the glass again and finished the last drop.

My head started spinning.

The room looked blurry. The lights mixed together, and the voices around me sounded distant.

I didn’t want to stay there anymore.

I slowly stood up from the stool, but the moment I took a step, my legs gave up on me.

Everything tilted.

Before I could fall to the ground, strong arms caught me.

“Careful.”

The voice was deep and calm.

I blinked, trying to focus. A tall man was standing in front of me, holding me gently. His face looked serious, his eyes dark and unreadable.The Man infront of me was an angel in human form,he had those brown eyes and cute nose.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

I stared at him. My mind was too drunk to think clearly.

For a moment, his face reminded me of someone safe… someone strong.

Someone who wouldn’t betray me.

“I… I’m fine,” I murmured, but my body leaned against him.

“You’re not fine,” he said. “You can barely stand.”

I gave a soft, bitter laugh. “Does it matter?”

He didn’t answer. He just looked at me quietly, as if he was trying to understand something.

“I just want to forget tonight,” I whispered. “Just for one night.”

My eyes met his.

There was something in his gaze—cold, but also gentle.

Without another word, he lifted me into his arms.

I didn’t protest.

I was too tired. Too broken.

I rested my head against his chest as he carried me away from the noisy bar. I could feel his heartbeat—slow and steady.

It felt strangely comforting.

He took me into an elevator. The doors closed, and everything became quiet.

I didn’t know where he was taking me.

But I didn’t care.

All I wanted was to forget.

When the elevator stopped, he carried me into a large, quiet room. The lights were soft, and the air smelled clean.

He gently placed me on the bed.

For a moment, he just stood there, looking at me.

“You should sleep,” he said.

But I reached out and grabbed his shirt.

“Don’t leave,” I whispered.

He froze.

Our eyes met again. My heart beat faster, though I didn’t know why.

Maybe it was the alcohol.

Maybe it was the loneliness.

Maybe it was the pain.

I pulled him closer.The Man was more sexy than I could ever think of,he had that muscular body and he had that cutest smile that I could have ever seen in my life even Gabriel wasn't this cute ,though he looked more older than me .

Our lips met.

At first, the kiss was soft and uncertain. But then it became deeper, more desperate.

It felt like I was pouring all my sadness into that one kiss.

His arms wrapped around me, pulling me closer. His touch was warm and strong. It made me feel protected, even though I didn’t know his name.

One moment, we were kissing.

The next moment, our clothes were gone.

My mind was blurry, but I could feel everything—his hands, his warmth, the way he held me like I was something fragile.

When he finally moved inside me, I gasped softly.

It felt strange… but also comforting.

For the first time that day, the pain in my chest began to fade.

All I could feel was the warmth between us.

The world outside disappeared.

The betrayal.

The insults.

The heartbreak.

Everything was gone.

There was only the stranger… and the way he made me feel alive again.

I didn’t know how long it lasted.

Minutes.

Hours.

I couldn’t tell.

All I knew was that, at some point, my eyes became heavy, and I drifted into a deep sleep in his arms.

That night, I forgot everything.I knew I was going to regret what I was doing tomorrow, but I wasn't going to stop it for I am in the mood and had to finish what I started.

But I didn’t know… that the man beside me would soon change my entire life.
