It’s only been a few seconds since I woke up this morning but I can’t seem to sit up just yet. There’s something so unusual about my vision as I stare at the ceiling that it makes me feel disoriented.
I clearly remember getting all dressed up and going to the party, but I can’t seem to remember how I got home or who brought me back. Was it Dominic? I don’t think so. There’s no way he would bring me back here and leave Carmella behind. And why would he even bring me back? I planned on going there to have some fun and coming back on my own.
Maybe it was one of the bodyguards who brought me back.
Most of the events from last evening are just one big blur. I hope with time, it’ll come back to me. For now, I need to get

et out of bed.
extremely exhausted. It doesn’t even feel like I’m in reality. Did I drink that much? Is that
With a groan, I move to the edge of the bed, step on the plush carpet and rise to my feet, only to struggle with keeping my balance. How much did I drink? Was it that bad because I hadn’t drank in a long time!
I even have to hold onto the wall as I head to the table with my purse, scared that one wrong move and I’ll drop to the floor.
Taking out my phone, 1 check the time and my jaw drops. It’s already 9am.71 seriously need to freshen up.
I look at my face in the bathroom mirror and notice a slight puffiness to them. When did this happen? Did I actually cry or something?
As I take off my clothes, I can’t help but wonder why I have these particular ones on. I don’t remember taking off my dress.
The water soaks my scalp and I begin to shower, still trying to remember what happened last evening but nothing much comes back to me.
But after I step out of the shower and open the bathroom door, an image flashes in my mind. It’s one of me looking right at Dominic from right where I’m standing as he looks down at my bare chest.
My eyes instantly grow wide at that memory and I clutch my bathrobe, lightly shaking my head. I tell myself that it was all just a dream, but the image feels so real in my mind. I was standing right in the doorway and he was a few feet away from me. Shit.
Too lazy and in shock to think about drying my hair using the dryer, I wrap it in a towel and instantly remember him sitting behind me on the bed. Then comes his touch on my thighs and his lips on mine. No way. I place my hand on my lips and wonder if it was really all just a dream. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
I’m so confused that I begin to pace i right near the bed, trying to figure out how I can tell for sure if all that happened. My steps then come to a halt when I remember a blue ribbon. I slid it under the pillow while he was with me on the bed. If I find it there, then everything in my head is probably true.
Holding my breath, I approach the bed and lift the pillow with my eyes shut. As soon as I open them, I cover my mouth. I’m looking right at the ribbon. It did happen. Dominic was in bed with me. I was in his arms, he touched me and we kissed passionately.
I’m certain we didn’t do anything more as it’s still that time of the month for me, and I’m still a virgin.
It all leaves me so flustered that my knees give up on me and I drop to the floor.
I’ve already confirmed that he was here, but i need to hear it from someone else, or at least part of what happened. I call in one of the maidservants and she tells me about last night.
Based on what she’s explained, there’s a sense of gratitude in my heart for Dominic because of all he did for me. It’s always a surprise when

he actually does something nice for me without having to keep up appearances.

The only thing she doesn’t seem to know is if I cried or not, but that doesn’t matter. I’m just glad Dominic was as drunk as I was, and I hope that he doesn’t remember anything that happened between us on my bed. Convincing myself of this, I feel less flustered.
I even remember sitting in his lap while in the club, and he made me desire him for a few minutes as he touched me and kissed me. That’s the one part I have a clear picture of and have no problem if he remembers it.
I still wish it would all come back to me, not just bits of information, I’m so curious but I’ll never know.
Just as I think about how there’s no way to find out what happened in this bedroom, my eyes widen at a certain realization. This mansion has surveillance cameras. Though my initial reaction is filled with curiosity, I soon give up on the idea when I remember that my bedroom and Dominic’s require privacy.
I huff and slump my shoulders. I should just forget it all and move on.
Even though I’ve freshened up, I still don’t fully feel like myself. Not even taking in the morning sun helps me. I also feel dehydrated. It’s probably one of the reasons I feel this way, I don’t even want to call for the water to be brought to my room. I take my phone and make my way through the hallway so I can get to the elevator.
I know I said I’d forget it all, but I can’t stop thinking about what exactly led to him kissing and touching me and what made him stop.
As soon as I get to the elevator, it opens and he’s inside, dressed in an elegant black suit. I wasn’t expecting to run into him right when I’m
thinking about last night.
