ROSETTE'S POV
"Follow me!" He growled, turning to face the manager of the club. I remained rooted to the spot, feeling heat rise within me. I was suddenly sweaty underneath the mask I had on. Within minutes, the handsome stranger before me had made a transfer to clear up the bet. The manager approached me, a sly smile on his face. "When I saw you earlier, I knew you'd raise a lot of money for me. Be back tomorrow morning for your share of the money. Tonight, make sure you satisfy him." He said, winking at me. A bolt of electricity jolted through me. The alcohol was slowly seeping over my senses, but I was not stupid enough to see that I was expected to spend the night with a complete stranger, all because he... "Let's get the hell out of here!" A familiar male voice said besides me, breaking into my thoughts. I felt his hand over mine, as he led me through the crowded club. ~~~~ The car pulled up right outside a large building, and the man at the driver's seat switched off the car's engine. He looked at me over his shoulders . I was seated in the backseat, dazed. I was now wearing my gown, pissed off about how my night of fun had unexpectedly ended. I took off my mask. "You'll crash here with me tonight. I already booked a room in there, so—" He started to explain. My brain felt wired, almost as though I was no longer in charge of it. "You want to have sex with me in there?" My question came out as a drawl. He scowled, "Hell, no!" Then, he got out of the car, skipped around and held me out of the backseat. I still had the mask on. He snaked an arm around my waist, as he led me into the building, into an elevator, down a well lit hallway, until we finally arrived at a room tagged, "Room 118" My knees went weak as I struggled to make sense of what was happening, and soon, I found myself cradled in his arms. He unlocked the door, pushed it open and we walked in. Just then, I felt how he placed me on a soft surface, maybe a bed, before pulling away from me. What the hell was wrong with me? Did I just blindly follow a complete stranger to his hotel room, all because he had bet $45k on me. He could be an axe murderer, or a serial killer. He could even be a creep. Normally, I wouldn't be caught dead doing something like this, but right now, I just wanted to have fun. Yeah, fun. After keeping my virginity, what better time was there to lose it than on the eve of my 18th birthday to an irresistibly handsome man? A switch was turned on and lights flooded the room, blinding me for a moment. I held my breath as my eyes settled on the man before me. He peeled off his shirt, exposing a smooth and rippling eight-pack abs that was flanked by the sexiest set of deep V cuts I've ever seen. I stilled. A cold wave of electricity ran through my body, starting from the top of my head as it pulsated all the way to my feet. Feeling the alcohol take hold of me, I pushed myself off the bed and sauntered over to him. Surprise flashed in his eyes. "Hey, what do you think you're doing?" I placed my hands over his hairy chest, gently running them over his chest, "You placed a bet on me, remember?" I slurred. I could smell his cologne from how close we were and I took in a deep breath. "Not to take advantage of you. You're obviously wasted and too drunk to think for yourself." I raised myself on the tip of toes, a little pissed off by what he said, "I have watched you undress me with these eyes, why don't you use your hands instead?" I said, pressing my breasts against his hard chest. He gently pushed me away, "No...no. I can't." I closed up the space between us again, and placed my hand over his crotch. I felt the hardness of his cock against his tight trousers, and gasped, "I want this...in me." "No." His voice was weaker. I grabbed his length gently, rubbing it through the fabric of his trousers, "I said, Yes." Then, I lowered my tongue to his chest, leaving a wet trail as I found his right nipple. His chest rose and fell with heavy breathing, and my core throbbed with need; desire to have him. With my eyes pinned on his, I slowly circled my lips over his nipple and sucked hard at it, giving his cock a soft squeeze, almost at the same time. He let out a moan, "Oh.." "Is that a yes?" I mumbled, with my tongue still teasing his nipple. He was growing bigger in my other hand as I caressed his member. Bigger, and harder, just for me. "F*ck, yeah!" He said, breathlessly, tipping my chin up towards him, he leaned close and crashed his lips onto mine. He tasted as good as he looked. With our lips still locked in, his hands found my shoulders and tore off the dress from my body. I felt my feet leave the floor, as he scooped me into his arms and stalked over to bed. Everything happened fast. So damn fast. In minutes, I let out a muffled groan as I felt the first force of his penetration. A jolt of pain shot through me. He looked down at me, a question in his eyes. "Yes...yes. I'm a virgin" I muttered, not wanting him to pull away. He asked me if I was sure I wanted to go ahead with it, and I could not remember my answer. All I remember was how he lowered his lips to mine in a kiss. And then, I had a memorable night. ~~~~ When my eyes fluttered open again, it was already morning. There was a dull ache at the back of my head as I lifted myself up on my elbows. The sunlight streamed into the room from the open windows, making the throb in my head even more severe. I stretched my body, letting out a yawn before I looked around the room, my gaze settling on the empty space besides me on the bed. I was alone. The man I had spent the night with was gone. An alarm rang in my head, as I realized that I was still in his hotel room, and I had no idea whether he had paid. I sprang to my feet, ignoring the pain which was between my legs. It was a sharp reminder of the decision I took the previous night. The decision to give away my virginity to a stranger. My mother would definitely kill me if she ever found out. I was supposed to be on my way to Los Angeles with her to start a new life. I was reckless. Way too reckless. What if that stranger has left with an infection, or worse, made me fucking pregnant? Fuck! I stood before the large mirror in the room and glanced at my reflection. Damn, I looked like such a mess. I let out a sigh before I sprinted out of the room. "Happy Birthday to you, Rosette!" I muttered under my breath as I stalked out of the hotel and headed back home.Damon POV After my mental breakdown in the exclusive waiting room, Nathan suggested I headed home to talk to Susan while he handles the bills and Asformalities for Rose discharge.In his words, it was better Susan and I come to a mutual agreement before Rose comes home to salvage the situation.Even though I knew there was nothing to say to Susan that would make any sense, I would rather face her than face Rose, not when she intended to leave me, so I drove home.Immediately I got to the house, I noticed the front door was opened which was very unusual.The possibility that anything or anyone of good threat could be waiting for me in there didn't scare me a bit as I digged my hand into my pocket, ensuring that my pocket knife was intact while walking until the house.But to my greatest surprise, I was greeted with the sight of Susan throwing Rose belongings from the stairs.The entire living room was filled with Rose personal things, packed in suitcases and others on the floor.I ben
Damon POVI stared at the empty space, my thoughts spiralling, I could hear my heart pounding as my chest felt heavy.I was suffocating and overall, it felt like I was dying.I found Rose, but at the same time I had lost her. And it made me realize that I had lost her a long time ago, and the future I wanted to create with her, broke into pieces in front of me.I was nothing.I had nothing left.Everything was ruined and destroyed.And I had no idea where to start from, what to do next and how to go about it.On one hand was Susan.On the other is Rose and my baby. My baby..I was going to be a father, but I lost that title even before my child came into the world.I had nothing left.My most important dream was also shattered alongside everything.How do I stop Rose from leaving?How do I do that?"Oh man, you look like shit!" I heard a voice from behind.A strangely familiar voice that scared me, followed by the sound of his footsteps as he stood in front of me, with his hands in h
Rosette's POV Beep.Beep.The smell of the antiseptic filled my senses as my eyes stirred open slowly.White ceilings, with the classic regular lightning.I knew without a doubt that I had landed in the hospital.But how?Before I could process anything else, I heard a voice."Like I said before, her stats are stable and by the end of today you should be able to take her home""Oh... thank you so much doc, I really do appreciate your help" Another voice chipped in.A familiar voice.One, my whole body could tell and respond to.Damon.And then it hit me, the last thing I could remember before I passed out, was seeing my mom, with shock written all over her face staring at me."Mom" I stuttered, tears forming at the rim of my eyes.Immediately, Damon rushed to my side, taking my hands in his, "Rose...Rose, can you hear me?" He asked softly."Yes," I muttered weakly."How do you feel? Are you in pain? Do you want something?" He asked again."No..no." I managed to say, as I struggled to
Rosette's POV "How dare you!" Hughes growled, glaring at Damon."Please..." I started but I didn't get to complete that statement as Damon stepped forward, covering me completely.."How dare I? You kidnapped her, kept her locked in this ridiculous place all for a contract? A contract where you didn't even indicate the slightest interest for" Damon countered.Hughes paused for a second, as he focused his attention on the woman in his arms."Jake, take her out of here" he ordered, signaling one of his men that stood at the door."No.. please I want to stay here with you" Louisa begged, holding his shirt tightly."No, you cannot stay with me Louisa, this is...work and I have to handle it alone" he dragged, staring at us.Us as in Damon and I."Work? Since when did your work require you to kidnap people? You had her locked up for days and he threatened me with a gun" Louisa continued, shaking her head.She was quite shaken. "Louisa listen to me" Hughes said, grabbing her shoulders so sh
Rosette POV I waited.Counting every second with bated breath, with my eyes fixed on the door, while on the other hand, Hughes just remained relaxed, going through some papers on his desk.He had this full assurance and confidence that Damon was on his way and my heart just wouldn't cooperate with me and slow down.I was anxious, and overall I was scared.The last three days have been hell for me but I couldn't imagine what it must have felt like for Damon. Especially because of the way our last conversation ended.And my mom? Rowland? Everyone must be losing their mind searching for me.My trail of thoughts were interrupted as Hughes' phone rang and immediately I turned to look at him.He picked up the phone with a sly smile on his face before raising his head to meet my angry face.."Your prince charming is here" He said, raising the phone to his ears. "Let him into the hall" he ordered over the phone.I stood up from the couch instantly, marching towards the door."You have to sl
Rosette POV."," I thought I was coming out to see my meal, but instead, it was the regular two men and... nothing.No food.No tray and the familiar sight of jug I have gotten used to."The boss wants to meet you" One of the men spoke, reading the confusion on my face I presume."The boss?" I repeated."Come with us" the second one added, throwing the door open as I shot me a warning look.Which clearly means 'Don't try anything funny'So I wiped my mouth carefully, adjusted my dress and followed them out."Wow" was the first word I uttered the minute I stepped into the hallway.For the kind of room they locked me in, I thought I was in a shabby, less modest remote area, probably surrounded with warehouses and lots of that.But that was far from it.I was in a freaking mansion.Literally a mansion, with huge walls and High ceilings, everything about this place screamed wealth and top notch luxury, including the interior design.We walked for a while, until we got to a door, and then
