Chapter 5

Adele's POV 

Amber and I sat before eachother at the club, I had just narrated how my father suddenly broke the news of his engagement with Huxley's mother to me and how I was forced to stay with them. 

Adele had an expression of excitement and astonishment on her face, I wonder why, "wow!" She finally exclaimed," just wow! Huxley? Gosh! Who could have known that you and Huxley would ever have the opportunity to live together in the same house?"  

"What are you talking about Amber?" I questioned eventhough I had a clear guess of what she meant. 

"You should be happy, baby! Who wouldn't be happy to live with Huxley. That guy is literally many girls dream," Amber said. 

"Many girls dream? Not mine. That jerk is a playboy," I reminded Amber. 

"Who doesn't know that, everyone has badboys has their fantasies sincerely, common, stop acting all nerdy, how was his reaction to you?" Amber asked. 

"See, Amber, I don't like him and I've let him know that over the past couple of hours that we have met. I'm not one of those ladies that swoons over him. I'm Adele, I'm not like any other girls," I said. 

"Did he make any advance?" Amber asked. 

"He dare not," I intentional hid the fact that he came to my room at a time when I was sexually aroused and how he made me even more horny with his hot, sexy and cute appearance. 

"Oh!" Amber exclaimed and went into silence as though thinking about something," well, since you don't like him, it's fine. Though I really wish both of you could get along but I'll always support you, if you say he's a jerk, then jerk he is," Amber said and I giggled. 

I was happy she was finally in my support. 

"So you came here to escape that jerk's house and have fun, right?" She asked. 

"Sure, baby?" I said and she poured the wine on the table to the two cups before us, we toasted and drank. 

She stood at once and said," let's go dance baby." 

I stood and we both catwalked towards the middle of the stage, once we got there, I thought that Amber would dance with me but in a swift second, she was already dancing with a man. 

Oh? That was quick. I hate dancing with strangers, I guess I should just leave and watch others dance, that's enough fun, right? 

As I turned to leave, a tall figure appeared before me. I raised my head and saw a random man's face. He was all smiles and looked averagely good. 

"A few minutes dance with you would be an honour, princess," she said, the way she spoke went well with me that I even smiled instinctively. 

"Sure," it's just a few minutes dance anyways plus I came here to catch some fun. 

We began to dance, ten seconds after we have started dancing, he asked gentlemanly," can I know your name, princess?" 

"Adele," I answered without bothering to as for his. I won't be needing his name so asking for his name was totally unnecessary. 

"And you don't want to know mine?" He asked as we danced. I must say that he was really good in dancing. 

"Tell me," I asked. 

"Jarrett, does it sound ugly?" He asked. 

"Common, it's cute," I answered. It doesn't really sound cute in my ear though but I just had to say that to make him feel good. 

When we were done dancing, we both stood before each other, his gaze was so intense on mine but I'm not bothered. It's not the first time many men stare at me like they would devour me. 

"It's fun dancing with you, Jarrett," I said and was almost turning to leave when he spoke. 

"Can't we grab a cup of wine together? I don't take alcohol, I'm guessing you don't too?" He asked. 

I was almost rejecting his offer but when he added that he doesn't take alcohol, I was really surprised and decided to take a drink with him. 

I never knew that there were men who comes to the club yet doesn't take alcohol. The both of us walked to where wines were served, we sat on the two of the stools before the bar man. We were soon served two cups, I gulped on mine at once while he does the same too. 

"I so love this," I said, mesmerizing the sweet taste of the wine, I faced the barman and asked," can I get more?" 

"Sure, miss," the man poured me another and I gulped it all at once. 

"I so love it too," Jarrett said and asked for more too after which he emptied the drink. 

However, my eyes started to feel dizzy all of a sudden, I rubbed my face wondering what was going on with me. It was just wine and not an alcoholic drink, so even if I drank as many cups as possible, I shouldn't be drunk. 

I looked at Jarrett and saw that the look on his face had changed from that of a gentleman into a stern looking somebody. 

"Let's catch some fun, bitch," he said to my surprise and lifted me up from the stool. 

I had lost every strength in me and was barely conscious, I manged to ask," where are you... taking me too?" 

"To fuck you, bitch," he laughed as he carried me towards where only he knows. I was scared, I had no idea that he was just pretending to be a good man. 

A loud sound vibrated through the hallway that we were and I fell from his hand but before I could land on the floor, someone helped me. The scent was so familiar. 

"You bastard!" The familiar voice of the person holding me said, his face was on Jarrett who now had blood oozing out of his mouth. 

I looked up to see the the person with the familiar voice and scent and was shocked to see Huxley. Huxley? He was the one carrying me and the person that just saved me from Jarrett. 

"Just last week, you were asking for my company to invest in your family's company that you have poorly manged to bankruptcy and sincerely, I was beginning to consider investing in your company again and give it life but finding out you are a rapist, not only will I not invest in your company, I will orchestrate an investigation against your compamy that will not only lead it to bankruptcy but send you to jail," with that being said, Huxley began to carry me out tenderly and in just a few seconds, I was totally unconscious.
