Faint sunlight streamed through the thin window curtains and shone on the faces of the two people sleeping and holding onto each other.
Under the light, with her long jet-black hair, Daisy looked beautiful and alluring. Her red lips were curled into a half smile like she was having a beautiful dream, making her look sexy in the early morning. She let out a small sigh and smuggled into the arms of the man next to her.
His chest was exceptionally hard, and when she put an arm around him, she felt his tone and well-defined abs probe against her arm.
But suddenly, she felt something odd. The faint saint coming from him isn’t what she is used to.
He has this richly defined masculine fragrance entirely different from the usual peppermint she is familiar with from Edward. When she got the waft of the scent to be sandalwood, she smiled lightly, enjoying the faint scent coming from the man sleeping beside her who had, unknown to her, woken up and was staring at her with a stone-cold expression.
‘When did Edward change his cologne?’ she wondered.
Suddenly, it occurred to her that last night was their anniversary, and at that time, he still smelled peppermint.
With her eyes still closed, she frowned deeply.
Subsequently, a cold, deep angry voice sounded over her head. “Who are you?”
Next, her hand was thrown off.
Wait. That cold voice… was nothing close to Edward’s.
Stunned, she tried to open her eyes but shut them back immediately as the light mercilessly pierced into her eyeballs. She tried again and slowly adapted to the light around her.
The first thing she saw was the strange-looking ceiling and her heart raced.
Slowly, she turned her head, and this time, her eyes widened. The unfamiliar man on the bed beside her, sitting up and staring at her coldly, was shirtless.
Her jaws dropped.
Trembling, she pointed a finger at him. “You… y.. you.. what are… what are you doing here?” she stammered, and he scoffed instead. “I should be the one asking that.”
Her eyes widened more.
With her heart pounding heavily, she racked her brain to try to remember what had happened and how she ended up in this state.
'Where is Edward?'
'Where is my boyfriend?'
'We made love after the celebration last night, right? Where did he go after that?'
'Who is this man, and why am I on the bed with him?'
Questions upon questions popped into her head which she desperately wanted to find answers to. Her head began pounding, and she had to hold onto it in pain.
Wesley stared at her with a sneer.
‘She is definitely one of those good-for-nothing women who would find the slightest opportunity to sleep with me,’ he thought.
As Daisy held her head, she tried to remember something.
She remembered drinking so much because Edward did not propose to her, and she felt abandoned. She was so drunk when a young girl called her out to meet Edward. Then she entered a lounge where a man she thought was Edward immediately grabbed her, and they had rough sex.
Had she entered the wrong room?
She dreaded that.
She dreaded that she had slept with a stranger, but the reality was slowly dawning on her.
That was the truth!
She had slept with this stranger beside her on her anniversary night and given him her all without holding back.
Where is Edward?
Had he searched the whole place for her?
Where are Rose and Cindy?
Where are Chris and the rest?
At that moment, she thought she had to call Cindy or Rose to explain the situation she was in.
Calling Edward would be dangerous. She had cheated on him, and it might not go well.
Not only had she cheated on him, but this had happened on the night of their anniversary. Telling him now will definitely not go well. She needed the advice of her two friends, and she believed they would come to her rescue.
Her eyes watered, and when she raised her head to stare at the shirtless man beside her, her tears dropped.
Wesley was visibly stunned.
When he opened his eyes to find a woman beside him, he knew he had been set up; after all, he remembered how wild he had suddenly become. But he had immediately thought Daisy would definitely be one of those women out there who would do anything to climb into his bed, seeing she complied and had sex with him without hesitation.
But seeing how she was now, he realized he had misjudged her. She was even more confused.
He just wondered why they were set up with each other. But looking at her closely, he thought she was familiar.
But he knew he needed to analyze the situation at hand to know how much damage had been made, how much amendment was needed and what could be done to prevent further damage.
Daisy looked at him with widened, teary eyes.
In the face of such a sight, he let out a sigh. She looked so beautiful and innocent, like a young blossoming flower that is so ignorant and needs to be protected. It made him want to pull her to him and assure her that everything would be fine and they would get to the root of the matter soon.
But he suddenly scoffed at his own thoughts.
He could not believe he had just thought like that.
“What? What is this?” Daisy suddenly began to sob.
“I don’t understand what is going on. Why are you here?”
“Edward is supposed to be here. How come I’m seeing you here?”
Talking to him, she also thought he looked a bit familiar, but at that moment, she cared less.
It was when she mentioned Edward he realized why he thought she was familiar at first. She is the actress with a lot of online shippers. She is a movie star almost everyone loves her relationship with Edward.
He isn’t a fan of movies and the like, but he comes across such stories on the internet even if he doesn’t want them or is uninterested in them.
Isn’t she Daisy Louis?
Okay, she is just as beautiful as he thought the internet made her seem.
In the face of her questionings, he was at a loss of what reply to give her.
Being a wealthy business tycoon, he is known for his brilliance and smartness in the business world, but as simple as her questions seemed, he had no answers to them at all cause he, too, was confused.
He stared speechlessly at her face for a while before his eyes suddenly wandered, down her neck, to her collarbone and then to her chest.
Daisy suddenly realized something.
She looked down and discovered she was also as shirtless as he was.
No. Her boobs had been on full display for this man all along.
She gasped and raised her head to glare angrily at him, her hand involuntarily looking for any piece of clothing to cover herself with.
She wasn’t only bare up; she was totally bare, including him.
“Pervert,” she seethed, but he just stared at her.
His eyes were still on her chest, and he himself wondered why he was doing that and looking at her that way. But before he could get himself and scold himself, a soft palm connected to his cheek, snapping his head to the right.
“Asshole,” she cursed at him as tears flowed down her face.
Wesley was enraged.
At that moment, he just wanted to get a hold of her and push her down the bed. But he knew he couldn’t lay a hand on a woman.
Keeping his anger in check, he raised his eyes and stared hard at her with cold, dark, angry eyes that she shuddered.
“What the fuck did you just do?”
This time, she was able to get her hands on the bed cover, so she wrapped it around her naked body.
Tightly holding onto it, she got down from the bed and walked towards her gown, lying on the floor beside her bag right by the entrance. She was a sticky mess, and she hated herself.
She had sex with a stranger? Just how many rounds?
She could not believe it and she could only sob.
Wesley got down from the bed angrily and put on his boxers.
Immediately, she opened her bag and brought out her phone. Putting it on, she saw forty-nine missed calls, and she gasped. Her heart leapt to her throat when something crossed her mind.
“No, no,” she shook her head hard.
‘That should never happen to me!’
If something of such should happen, aside it putting an end to her career, what about her reputation and dignity? She prayed and hoped it wouldn’t be that cause if that happened, that would definitely ruin her.
Just then, she heard the doorbell ring.
She was so startled that she fell to the ground letting go of the cover around her body.
She stared horridly with wide eyes as her heart did a flip.
Who is that?
There aren’t reports outside there, right?
