2. He Found Me
I couldn’t help but sigh as the man with a handsome face and firm jaw touched me with gentle touches all over my body. Inside this luxurious limousine car, we continued the intimacy created between us. And strangely, I immediately fell under his spell. Call me stupid and too naive, but I couldn’t resist him. His warm hands began to undo the straps of the dress I was wearing so that the upper part of my body began to be visible to him. I sighed deliciously and trembled as his lips savoured every inch of my skin until he was at the cleavage of my breasts, both my hands gripping the collar of the shirt he was currently wearing.
“You smell so seductive, Amelia....”
The way he says my name is like he’s caressing each letter, so sexy and full of the promise of pleasure. My common sense started sinking in as I wanted to play a satisfying game between us. I seemed to be turning into another person at this moment. I ventured to take off the shirt he was wearing, and I felt his firm muscles in the palm of my hand. His exotic skin was so sexy and mesmerizing. As his amber eyes gaze into my greenish nether regions, I sink deeply into a different time dimension.
“You shall be mine tonight by patent,” he said, to which I replied, “Do as you wish, my lord.”
I don’t know what got into me that I quickly let myself and my virginity be taken by him tonight. His amber eyes were so hot with passion that I was eager to follow his every move. I sat on his lap as he straddled me, and I felt him down there, ready to enter me.
“Give me that satisfaction,” he said sensually in my ear. My breath came in short gasps as we fused perfectly down there. Until I reached the highest peak of our play, I exhaled as I felt my body rushing at the release that, for the first time, felt so sweet but cruel at the same time.
We continued our play in one of the suites at another luxury hotel, on a wide, king-sized bed until early morning. I fell asleep from exhaustion and woke up to the faint sound of my cell phone alarm. I turned to my other side and found a man with a handsome face fast asleep beside me. My head throbbed with pain, making me grimace as I placed my hand to massage it gently. I saw our clothes scattered near the bed.
I need to get out of here quickly.
My mind said the order out loud. Enduring all the pain I felt in my body, I put my clothes back on, but since the dress I wore last night was so revealing, I had to find other clothes to cover my overly exposed upper body. There was only the man’s white shirt. Finally, I put it on and quickly left the room after picking up my cell phone from the nightstand.
Karina called me while I was sitting on one of the benches of the subway express train.
“Hey, where are you? Why didn’t you come home last night?”
Karina is my best friend; yesterday afternoon, I left my mom for her to look after until I got home from work last night. I bit my lower lip on the inside as the night of passion I had just passed flashed through my mind.
“I worked overtime suddenly; sorry for not telling you.” I lie to Karina. I didn’t want to tell anyone anything yet.
“Alright, hurry up and get here; I have a lecture this morning.”
“Um, okay, thank you.”
After hanging up the call, I exhaled loudly.
“What have I done?” I muttered in frustration. Making love to a man I didn’t know was not part of my life plan. As I arrived at my flat and rushed to shower, the memory of what I had experienced a few hours ago returned slowly. Under the warm water, I vividly recalled that the man who had made love to me last night was the man who had bought me for a million dollars.
After taking a shower and getting dressed, I went to the hospital to see my mother and pay for her medical expenses; that hospital had delayed due to money problems. Now, I was even richer overnight, but on the other hand, I had sold my virginity for money. I took a seat on one of the hospital benches near my mother’s hospital room. I was contemplating the decision I had made. I could only resign myself to what had happened.
Invariably, people will be like that when faced with difficult choices, especially regarding money. I got up and went to the room where my mother was being. Three years had passed, and there was no sign of her opening her eyes from the coma. The accident had taken part of her life. I wasn’t ready to lose her; being alone in this world was something that always scared me.
“Oh, Hi, Amelia, you’ve come.”
Doctor Daniel came over and greeted me with his friendly smile. He was the most handsome doctor in the hospital and was still single; I don’t know why. He can choose any woman to be his wife.
“I had a sudden overtime, so Karina had to stay here last night.”
Doctor Daniel examined my mother’s condition, and I liked it as an ordinary woman. But I realized I was a nobody and had nothing to be proud of.
“You look tired. Are you okay?” Doctor Daniel looked at me with a worried gaze.
“I... A little dizzy.”
“Come, let me check your condition.”
We moved to the long sofa in the room. Doctor Daniel checked my vitals and then sighed.
“You lack blood; I’ll prescribe vitamins for you. You need to rest properly to care for your mother and live your life well, Amelia.”
I nodded as I looked down. I had heard that many times when he had checked on my health, and I was not doing well. His attention to me made me think he might like me, but it was impossible. I saw Dr. Daniel write something down on paper and give it to me.
“Don’t forget to eat and take your vitamins. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call me.”
He had even said that often, too, but I never took the opportunity. I was too inferior to ask him for help. I didn’t want to be a burden to others, or at least I didn’t want people to look at me with pitying eyes.
After Dr. Daniel left, I got some vitamins at the hospital pharmacy. I winced as I sat on the sofa. I felt a stinging sensation in my sex. That passionate game still left such an intense sensation for me and gave me goosebumps every time I remembered it. I don’t know why I submitted so quickly to that strange man.
My cell phone rang and displayed an unfamiliar number on the screen; I decided not to answer it. I hope that what I experienced last night only happened once and that the stranger doesn’t look for me again because he got what he wanted.
In the afternoon, I had a lecture and had to go to the administration to pay off my tuition arrears. Law is among the most prestigious majors, with many applicants after medicine. I took that seriously, not without reason; I dreamed I would someday become a reliable lawyer. And now, I was halfway through my studies and couldn’t just give it up.
I stared at my current tuition receipt with a half-dreamy look. I wondered if I had been selfish or if this was the right decision. And I thought to myself, I should have gotten the million dollars because the auction man had bought me and felt the perks he wanted from me.
“Amelia?!”
Thomas’ voice distracted me from my busy thoughts.
“Oh, hi,” I greeted rather awkwardly.
“I thought you were....”
I smiled; Thomas was a close friend of mine.
“Luck is on my side right now,” I said as I held up the paper proof of my tuition fee payment. Thomas smiled broadly.
“So, you managed to get that loan from your workplace?”
Again, I had to lie; maybe even if I had to lie to everyone, I would.
“Um, my workplace gave me the loan, and I paid it back by deducting half of my salary.”
That was the initial plan that came to nothing. My boss rejected my loan application because my salary was too small to be repaid quickly. That made sense, considering I was only a cleaning service at the hotel.
“Have you eaten yet? Come on, let me treat you.”
“No, I’ll do it,” I refused, to which Thomas immediately responded with a brilliant smile.
“So, you worked late?” asked Thomas as we sat in the faculty cafeteria. I nodded, I don’t know how many times I had to lie today but I had to get used to it. I swallowed many times to be able to play the role better.
“Last night, there was an event in the hotel ballroom, so I had to be on duty longer.”
It wasn’t a lie, but I kept the details to myself.
“How about you work in my father’s office?”
Thomas had offered me that several times, but I would have turned it down; the reason was simple. I didn’t want to owe anyone a favour.
“Tom, I’ve told you many times, so don’t repeat the same offer.” I drank my orange juice while checking the time on my phone.
“You might change your mind.”
“If I change my mind, I will tell you.”
After lunch, we went to class for our lectures and left in the late afternoon. I was surprised when a middle-aged man dressed in a neat black suit approached me.
“Ms. Watson?!”
I looked at the middle-aged man who still looked fit at his age with a frown.
“Yes, that’s me,” I replied affirmatively.
“Please come with me as my master wishes to see you.”
“Your master?” I asked curiously.
“Yes, my master who bought you for one million dollars last night.”
For a moment, I could only remain silent in shock.
