CHAPTER 5

Daniella's POV

My head was pounding when my eyes finally opened. Rays of sunlight danced on my face for a while until I turned away, letting out a soft groan.

Where was I?

I didn't recognize anything in this room at all so I immediately sat up, my eyes widening in horror as I realized that I was naked under the sheets.

I looked around immediately but there was no one else in the room. Then the memories started to come together piece by piece.

How I arrived at the penthouse. Seeing the professor on the stairs. The look of desire in his eyes. The way I couldn't control my emotions. The moment he kissed me. And then…

“Oh my goodness.” I cried into my hands as I buried my face in shame. I actually slept with Kent? The professor? What the hell happened to me?

How did a virgin… like me… something I refused to let Gareth have… how did I end up like this…?

Gareth had told me that I was supposed to be a temporary company to the school's wealthiest donor. How did I end up in Kent's house and in his bed?

Humiliation washed over me as I got out of bed but my legs wobbled, reminding me of what had happened last night. I remembered how loud my voice had been, how lewd I sounded and it made me so ashamed. I was about to leave the room when I noticed a paper by the nightstand with a black card sitting on it.

“Here's my card's pin: 3619. Also, I apologize for being too rough last night. I'm sure Gareth must have told you I was inexperienced.”

I frowned in confusion and anger as I squeezed the paper, throwing it to the ground. Did he think I was some kind of prostitute that he could throw his money at?

I stormed out of the room, still feeling sore, and found my dress by the side, just where it was dumped last night. I hurriedly put the dress on, feeling both humiliated and confused as I rushed out of the house.

As the cab drove home, my hands shook on my lap. How was I supposed to explain to Gareth that I slept with who he sent me to last night and just once but twice?

It just made no sense. And I knew I wasn't drugged. But even though I enjoyed it, I didn't do it of my own will.

The cab finally came to a stop and I hesitated for a moment before getting out and making my way to Gareth's apartment. However, as soon as I opened the door, I got hit with a familiar cologne.

But it didn't belong to Gareth. Rather, it was feminine and it wasn't mine.

My heart started to pound in my throat as I rushed to his room and before I even got to the door, the sounds coming from the room were unmistakable.

Someone was having sex in Gareth's room. I took a deep breath and pushed the door open gently and my heart dropped so fast when I saw Gareth on the bed with another girl.

A girl I knew too well.

Freya Sullivan. My number one bully.

“Gareth?” I called out softly and he turned to look at me with a bored expression before his lips curled into a smirk.

“Look who's finally back from sleeping around with different men while pretending to be innocent.” He said, spanking Freya's ass and she moaned, wiggling it in front of him.

“What are you talking about, Gareth? What are you doing with Freya?” I asked in horror, my eyes welling up with tears and Gareth finally pulled out of Freya before sitting up.

I didn't mean to notice that his dick was smaller than Kent's. But I did.

“What does it look like? I'm fucking her, obviously. And you? Where are you coming from, slut?” He questioned and my heart sank even more.

Gareth would never call me such awful names.

“You sent me there last night, Gareth… you told me—”

“You're such a fool.” He interrupted me and I stiffened. “You sent me there last night, Gareth~” He mimicked my panicking voice and burst into laughter, making me confused and humiliated.

“You'd just open your legs for any man?” Freya asked, leaning against Gareth and my fists clenched. “How do you feel being a pretentious slut?”

“I'm not a slut!” I yelled, tears rolling down my cheeks now and they snickered. “I don't know how last night happened. I swear to everything. I just—”

“Well, I know.” Gareth interrupted me and I froze. “I sold you off to my idiot of an uncle who needed a fuck girl for two thousand dollars. And he was so dumb to actually give me such a huge amount of money for a worthless bitch like you.”

My blood immediately ran cold. It felt like I had been doused with cold water as it all finally started to make sense. No wonder it was so natural for Kent.

He thought I was there as his fuck girl.

“You lied to me…? You lured me there despite knowing that I was a virgin?” I asked in disbelief, not believing my ears and he snickered.

“Well you opened your ugly legs, didn't you?” He spat, crossing his arms.

“Why would you do that? I loved you, Gareth! And I thought you did too.” I said in despair but he scoffed, cackling like I just said something funny.

“A naive thing like you that'll do anything I say just because you thought I actually loved you. I just wanted to fuck you. And you were so fucking stubborn. At least I got some money off you, it was worth it.” He muttered with a grin and it felt like my life just crumbled.

“I hope you regret what you just did, Gareth.” I said softly but he simply waved his hand as if he was shooing me away.

“I've been wanting to get you out of my life and this is all the chance I need. Get your ugly self and get the hell out.” He said with a sneer and I was about to leave when Freya's voice stopped me.

“Don't you think we should let the whole school know what a slut our precious Daniella is?” She asked, her voice smooth like honey and I stiffened.
