I'm Bella, a 20-year-old college student. I was adopted from an orphanage when I was 5 years old because the couple that took me in couldn't have children of their own. I don't remember much about my past, but I have two amazing parents Terissa and Ronald, who took care of me and sent me to college. Even though they are not wealthy, they make sure I do not need anything. I didn't have to do any part-time jobs to get funds so all I can do is get good grades so they can be proud of me. When I was in high school I met a wonderful friend, Alissa. She is from a middle-class family. She always kept to herself until I finally spoke to her. She and I enrolled in the same college and have been inseparable since then. We live in the same dorm room. It was Saturday, 6:00 in the evening when my phone rang. I picked it up and answered drowsily. My best friend Alissa’s voice came through the phone. “Bella, are you still sleeping? I thought you would be awake,” she said shouting. “Shit, I forgot we had plans for tonight. I was tired from all the homework and fell asleep. Give me at least 30 minutes,” I replied. I hurried and got showered and put on a blue tank top, black leather jacket and pants. When I put them on, I realised it was too tight, but I couldn't take them off. I grabbed my leather boots and ran out the door. There she was standing beside her car. “What do we have here?” She whistled, looking at me, and I blushed. “I didn't have any more time to change,” I said. “Why would you though? You're looking smoking hot,” she said teasingly. “Alright, enough teasing. Where are we going? You didn't tell me,” I said, changing the topic. “It's a surprise,” she replied. “You know I hate surprises, Lissa”, I said. “I know, but this will be worth it,” she said, getting in the car, and I followed. 20 minutes later We pulled up to a club. “Lissa, what is this?” I asked, confused. “Isn't it obvious, we're going dancing. We will probably meet two cute guys and get laid tonight. Who knows?” she said, dragging me out of the car. “But I can't dance, Lissa, and you know this,” I said. “It's my third time doing this, so you will be just fine,” she replied, trying to reassure me, but it wasn't working. She dragged me into the club and pulled me over to the bartender. “Let's have a drink, it will probably give you a little courage.” “Give me two of your strongest shots, please”, she signals to the bartender. “I’m a lightweight when it comes to alcohol,” I said. “I know that's why I'm doing this so you can get courageous and stop acting like a chicken,” she said teasingly. “Stop teasing me,” I said, pouting and she laughed. “Here you go, ladies”, the bartender handed us the tequila, and I downed it in one go. “Damn, that burns”, I complained, and Lissa looked at me, astonished. “Well girl, how are you feeling?” She asked and I groaned. “I feel like shit. Let's get this night over and done with,” I replied. She dragged me out to the dance floor and started dancing. I don't know how a shot could give me so much confidence but I started dancing as well. We started to bring attention to ourselves. Lissa got pulled away by a tall handsome guy. She looked at me and winked but I couldn't care less. I just continued dancing until I felt a hand on my stomach and someone pressing against my back. I was about to turn around, then he pressed against me even harder, and I could feel his dick rubbing against my ass. I was startled, I didn't even know what to do next. He whispered in my ear to continue dancing, and I did. I started to grind on him and he groaned. He dragged my hand and spun me around to face him. I looked up to see a tall, handsome man with black hair and chiselled jawlines. He was breathtaking. “Want to go for a drink?” he asked, snapping me out of my daze. He dragged me towards the bartender and lifted me up on one of the seats. “Sure, but please note this would be my second drink,” I said. “And you look so tipsy already?” He said, smiling. “I'm lightweight, so I don't drink often,” I added. “Is that so?” he said, looking at me in a daze. He raised his hand to signal for the bartender to come over. “Alex, my usual and a margarita for…” he said looking at me. “Bella,” I said. “For Bella,” he added. “Roger that,” Alex said. “So your name is Bella. That's a beautiful name. I'm Gabriel, nice to meet you,” he said, looking at me, smiling. I smiled back at him and said, “Nice to meet you too.” His phone started ringing and he groaned. “I have to answer this, can you wait a bit? I will be back,” he said and I nodded. He walked away and I turned back to Alex. He handed me my drink and told me he was going to serve another customer and walked off. A message appeared on my phone: Lissa “I'm going to leave, you enjoy yourself with Mr Cutie *wink*” I turned off the phone and was about to drink when someone came up to me trying to strike up a conversation. I looked at him, rolled my eyes and turned back and focused on my drink, but little did I know the guy slipped something in my drink. I took a big gulp, and all of a sudden, I felt dizzy. I tried to stand but I was pulled from my seat. I tried to break free but my effort was futile. I was about to scream but he covered my mouth and pulled me to a secluded room in the club. He dragged me into a room and threw me on the bed.Gabriel’s Pov I finished all my work for the day and sat down looking at her photo on the ID. I don't know why I can't get enough of seeing her face. I was planning on looking for her in one week time but fuck that, I'm going to look for her tomorrow. I was in a daze then my phone rang.“Hello,” I answered.“Hey son, how was your night with that girl? Are you with her now?” my mom shot out from the other end of the call. “Sorry mom, it was great and no I'm not with her now. She ran away this morning when I was asleep. I don't know where I went wrong or if she regretted it,” I told her. “Oh my baby,” she said, sounding like she is sad on my behalf.“Dont worry, she dropped her Identification Card on her way out so I found information on her. I'm planning to go to her tomorrow,” I added.“That's great news, my boy. You should have said that before. Having me here sulking on your behalf,” she scolded.I laughed, “Sorry mom, I will start with the good news from now on.”“I'm going to h
Bella's Pov I woke up to my phone ringing and stretched for it and placed it to my ears.“Hello,” I answered sleepily.“Bella, I have some news about your biological parents.” My mom said on the other side of the phone. I jumped up in a sitting position.“Are you sure?” I asked.“Yes I am, do you remember the necklace you had on when we adopted you?” She asked.“Yes I remembered it, I have it in my drawer in my room there.” I replied.“Ok, the orphanage said that it was a gift from your parents. They found you with it before you lost your memory.” She said, “Do you have any classes for the next two weeks?” She asked.“They are doing revision. Why do you ask?” I asked, confused.“I want you to come home for two weeks, so that we can get some more information for you,” She said.“Ok I'm going to sort it out so that I can get a leave of absence,” I said agreeing.“Ok do that, I'm going to source more information,” she said then hung up.I got out of bed and went to the kitchen and saw L
Gabriel’s PovI woke up to the sun shining in my face, stretching lazily as I reached for her. The bed was cold and the sheets were already empty. For a moment, I thought she was in the bathroom, but the silence told me otherwise. I searched the room, hanging on to a little hope that she was still here but she wasn't. I started getting ready while thinking, ‘Did I upset her somehow? Did I hurt her? Or did she regret being with me?’ I rubbed my hand across my face and groaned. “This is so frustrating,” I grumbled. “It's going to take a while to find her. The only thing she told me was her name and it wasn't even her full name,” I said to myself. I took out my phone and called my assistant.“Dex, I want you to dig up every file of females with the name Bella and have them on my desk before I reach the office,” I said.“Ok boss,” he replied.I got my things and headed to the door when I heard something crack under my shoes. I looked down and saw a picture of Bella. I bent down and pick
Bella's Pov**The Next Morning**My eyes fluttered open and the memories came crashing back. The drugged drink, the stranger’s hands, the terror. My body shudders at the thought, and then Gabriel. My chest tightened, but instead of fear, I felt the steady rise and fall of his chest beside me. He saved and held me. And last night, I had given him the one thing I swore I would never give anyone unworthy. I raised my head and looked at his face and smiled. Then a thought occurred to me. ‘What if he regrets everything when he wakes up? I can't go through that.’ I grabbed my leather boots and tank top and remembered that my pants were torn. I grabbed my phone and called my best friend and she answered on the first ring.“Hey Bella, how was it?” She asked mockingly.“Not the time Lissa. I need a dress and undies now. I'm going to send you my location,” I said, while sending her the location.“Ok I'm coming,” she said and I hung up.**Ten minutes later**My phone chimes:Lissa“I'm outside,
Bella's Pov“I've been eyeing you all night,” he said, looking at me, grinning like a maniac.My energy was depleted but I tried to scream even though I knew it was futile. I looked at him with fear in my eyes. ‘No this can't be, I can't lose my virginity to this man. I have to try and get away,’ I thought. I mustered up all my strength and tried to get off the bed but he pushed me down.“Where are you going sweetie?” he asked, while releasing his d**k from his pants. I started to thrash to get loose but it was no use. He started to remove my leather pants and tears started to well up in my eyes.“Please, let me go,” I pleaded but he only laughed. “You look so nice when you beg,” he said, and I finally got a scream out, but he quickly covered my mouth.“You bitch,” he said, slapping me across my face.‘Is this really how I lose my virginity,’ I thought. He started to rip the pants and thong off me and positioned himself at my entrance. I closed my eyes, and all I could think about wa
