Drugged

***Lorrie's POV***

“Hey best friend. What do you have for me this time.”

I raised a brow at the words of Ryan.

“How did you know I'm here because I have something for you?”

“How long have we been friends? You wouldn't just show up here at my bar without something in mind.”

“You're right. Listen, I'm not going to beat around the bush with what I'm about to say. You like Athena, right?”

Ryan raises his brow at me.

“How did you know that?”

“That's not relevant right now. Do you like her or not?”

“I do. I actually want to bed her. I need to know how she tastes. I'm sure she's never had it.”

“Good! Since that's the case, I'm going to make your wish come true.”

Bryant went wide in shock.

“For real? I mean, you'll truly do that for me.”

“Since when have I not fulfilled my promises? Trust me when I say I will make your dream come to pass.”

“Of course, I believe you. I've always believed you!”

“Good! In that case, there's something I would like for you to do for me.”

“And what's that?”

I looked around, just to be sure no one was listening to my conversation.

“Come close,” I muttered.

**Athena's POV***

# Day Of The Engagement

Though I was blind, it didn't limit me from serving wine. Since I can't move around with my cane, I was made to stand at the bar and serve drinks to all those who come to the bar.

“Isn't that the blind girl? How come she's serving wine?”

I heard people murmur about me, but I've never, for once, let that affect me. I'm not concerned about what they say. What I'm concerned about is my job. Also, I already made up my mind on what to do.

After the engagement party is over, I'll confront Ragas and make him reject me. The pain of rejection will be more bearable than the pain of watching him get engaged to another.

If he refuses as usual as I have no choice but to carry out a plan B.

“Athena?”

That was Tracy, she's one of the girls who serve wine alongside me.

“Yes?”

“Miss Lorrie wishes to see you in the dressing room.”

“Huh? Isn't she supposed to be at the party hall with Alpha Ragas?”

“I have no idea. She only asked me to inform you. I think she needs some fixing with her makeup. Don't forget, you did her makeover.”

I heaved a long, deep sigh. Lorrie was indeed a pain in the ass. Though I am blind, I'm not limited to plenty of things. One would say I'm gifted in my blindness.

“Alright, you should watch over things here. I'll join you soon,” with that, I picked up my cane which was aside where I stood and made my way towards the dressing room.

As soon as I got to the dressing room, I sensed her prsesence

“Athena, finally you're here. Come have a seat.”

What is this? Why was Lorrie suddenly acting this way?

“Uhm, does your hair or makeup need fixing, Lorrie?”

“Of course not. I just want us both to bond, that's all. After my engagement, I'll be leaving with Ragas; hence I won't be seeing you anymore. Despite our shortcomings, I wouldn't deny the fact that you've been an integral part of my life. For this reason, I wanted us to share a drink to commemorate this day of our final goodbye.”

This was confusing, to be honest. Why was she suddenly trying to commemorate this day?

“Here, this is a glass of fruit wine. I know for a fact that you haven't tasted alcohol before. For this reason, you can have a glass of fruit wine and I'll stick to my alcoholic wine.”

This made me smile and at ease. Now that I think about it, It made a lot of sense.

She placed the cup of wine in my hand and we both clinked glasses before I gulped down the wine. It was terribly sweet. Maybe it is because it's my first time having wine.

She poured me another cup and I drank without a care, especially because it's sweet. Suddenly, I began to feel dizzy to the point I could hardly move my legs.

“L… Lorrie, what did you put in the wine? I… I can't move my legs…"

I spoke up, but no one answered. I tried to get up from my chair, only to fall back down.

I shook my head. Even though I couldn't see, I still felt dizzy. What's going on? Why am I suddenly feeling this way?

I held on to my cane tightly and stood up, with the cane in front of me, I attempted to guide my way out of the room. While trying to get to the door, I staggered backwards but didn't lose my balance, even though my legs were not mine anymore.

Suddenly, the door to the room flew open. At that moment, I thought my salvation was here. But the scent I perceived was that of Ragas. What was he doing in here? That's not relevant, as long as I can get out of here.

“Ragas, please help me. I need to get out of her-” I suddenly heard the door being locked. I pick things easily with my ears, since my ears and nose are the sole reason I could live as a blind girl.

“Ragas? What are you doing? Please open the door, I pleaded while trying to reach out to him. But I was so weak that I couldn't even take a step. Just then, I felt strong arms wrapped around me and instantly, he attacked my lips and began kissing me strongly.

“Ragas, no!” I screamed, but his kisses swallowed my screams.

All of this still didn't make sense to me until I felt the back zipper of my dress being dragged down. That was when it dawned on me what Ragas was trying to do.

“Ragas! Stop!” I screamed and hit his chest helplessly.

“Stop struggling, Athena, I'll rather have you than give you to someone else!”

With that, he pulled down the zipper and dragged the dress off my body, leaving me cold and bare.

“No, this is your engagement party, how could you-” he silenced me with another kiss, pulling me into himself.

If this was in a different situation, I would have pushed him away, but currently, it seemed as though my whole body was going weaker by the minute?

He took advantage of my state and pulled me to the ground with him, kissing my lips, chin, and neck.

“Fuck! Finally."
