ZARA’S POV“It was a beautiful night, wasn’t it?” Cael asked, smiling.I froze on a spot, trying to convince myself that I was seeing and hearing things. I closed my eyes and reopened them and even slapped myself but the scene before me didn’t fade away. Cael was still there, covered by that towel around his waist while I was still standing, covering my bare body with the bedsheets.Things couldn’t have gone more wrongly.**The next time we spoke, things had settled down a bit. For example, both of us had dressed properly and it was in an open location; the living room. I couldn’t hold eye contact with him, dreading what must have happened between us last night.“About last night…” I began to say. “It was a mistake, a drunken mistake. Both of us shouldn’t have had so much to drink. It has happened already and it’s irreversible, all we can do is to be more careful from now on.”He smiled without talking. I looked him in the eye and I swear I could see pride. It was as if he was glad t

ZARA’S POVAs I saw the blank expression on Cael’s face, I started laughing. I had thought he was upright to a fault but here he was, proving me wrong. He was just like every other person, putting his pride first.“It must have bruised your pride to watch me fall asleep while we were making out,” I said, intrigued by him.He scoffed, “You don’t know what you are saying.”“I’m quite sure I do,” I replied in turn. Cael turned away from me and from the look of things, I concluded he was thinking.“Why did you pretend to not remember?” he asked as he turned towards me. His eyes were depicting betrayal and I struggled to hold back my laughter.“Because I didn’t remember…” I pointed out. “Why would I lie about something like that?”“So all of a sudden, the memories returned?” he asked without expecting a reply. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”He stood up, eager to leave. I stood to confront him but I wasn’t able to as the housekeeper approached us at that exact moment. She had insane timing,

ZARA’S POV“If you are going to sleep with me when drunk, how about you just do it while you are sober?” Cael asked coldly. I stared at him, watching as he betrayed no emotion. He was just standing there, waiting for my reply.“You… You…” I stammered. I took a deep breath, hoping to stabilize this heart of mine beating crazily. When I eventually spoke, all that escaped my lips were, “You are crazy, Cael.”I walked away at that moment, searching for the bathroom. I remained holed up in there, trying to figure out the next step. Whether I liked it or not, I still had to spend the night at the suite with Cael. At first, I kept the water running to make it seem like I was busy there and then next, I showered. However, after spending thirty minutes showering, I knew it was time to come out of the bathroom. I had a simple plan in place. To avoid mistakes, I would have him sleep on the couch while I used the bed. Cael wouldn’t disagree as he was a gentleman to some extent.I was wearing a sh

ZARA’S POVThe flames flared up violently and I backed off, my heart beating hard. The housekeeper rushed to turn off the gas and covered the pan with a wet cloth. She grabbed the fire extinguisher in case the fire would rage but it didn’t. All I heard was some hissing from the pan and it all ended.By now, Cael and a couple of the household staff had found their way into the kitchen and if any of them had questions about who was at fault, the housekeeper’s fiery glance at me would answer their questions.“Are you okay?” I asked her gently, hoping she wouldn’t shout in reply.She lowered her head and by the time she raised it, she had a smile on her face, “Of course, I am fine. How about you? Hope you aren’t injured?”“I am very fine,” I replied with a nod. “I was thinking… How about we stop making the crepes now?”“Of course,” she replied with a sinister tone. “If we continue, one or both of us might end up dying.”**You would agree with me that the picnic had gone wrong right from

ZARA’S POV“Yes,” he said firmly. “I want you to sit down and do nothing. You know as much as I do that getting involved in things like this has no benefit for us.”I sighed, “I know that very well but I won’t sit still.”Cael held me tightly, “What are you planning to do?”“Nothing much,” I smiled. “Don’t worry, I don’t intend on confronting that scumbag.”Cael didn’t let me go. He searched my eyes as if to check I was saying the truth and from his facial expression, he wasn’t sure. “Trust me,” I added and then he let go of my hand. He gave me an approving glance and then I went after the real girlfriend, now, ex-girlfriend. I did go after her in a rush but it took time before I found her. She was sitting on one of the benches made for the public and she was sobbing.I sat beside her and naturally she looked up and started to wipe her tears.“You should just cry,” I muttered.“What?” she asked. “Who are you?”“I don’t think my name matters,” I replied gently. “What matters is that I
