Chapter 5

The next morning, Karen was awoken up by the bright ray of sunshine that shone on her face and this made her groaned loudly when she realized she didn’t put the curtains down before going to bed.

Yet, her body felt weak like she had been carrying heavy loads.

“Ahh… so weak” she managed to murmurs while still unaware of her surroundings. When she could not bear the pain anymore, Karen couldn’t help but wonder why she ended up in this unknown room. With a glance at the room, she was shocked to discover where she had spent the night.

"What time is it?" She asked while mumbling.

No one answered. Why was her younger sister not answering her? Only then,Karen looked at her surrounding slowly..

Eh? This was not her small loft! Neither was it her double-decked bed! There's no sight of her soft toys, there's also no sight of her younger sister's pile of albums. Instead, what she saw was a luxurious wallpaper, bright lights, and elegant furniture.

"Oh! Oh my god, where is this place?!"Karen finally woke up from her stupor, sitting up straight immediately and started looking at her surrounding in horror. Her lips began to tremble slightly, and it was getting worst... This was a hotel! And it was a presidential suite, the kind you get to see only in a magazine!

"Ahhhhh.."Karen shouted in shock, then she quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

Blinking her crystal-like eyes, she only realizes

then that she was fully naked.

Yes, she recalled that the previous day she had carried her her revenge when she spoiled Sage and Ava’s wedding party, after that she had gotten drunk with Emma to celebrate her victory but after that she could not recall how she ended up here.

Karen took her phone and tried calling Emma’s number.

“Sorry the number you are trying to call is currently unavailable. Kindly drop your voice note and we will inform the user when they are available or you hang up the phone..” the service provider told the anxious Karen.

Karen dropped her phone and tried to get up from the bed, yet she felt the stain between her thighs. She took off her bedsheets and discovered that she had indeed slept with an unknown person which she wasn’t aware of. What a big fool she was!

"Oh, oh, oh... Did I....do that? Oh, God... do you want me to live still...?" Karen finally got her sense of hearing back, and she looked at the direction of where water could be heard, thru the door, she could faintly see a man's body inside the shower.

Although it was blurry, it was, for sure, a figure that was a tall, robust, and powerful body...

A hotel... naked... and man... ah, ah, ah...Karen nibbled on her nails while blinking furiously.

It couldn't be right, did she really do that after being drunk on the night after her ex boyfriend’s wedding ...?

Karen hit her chest and stomped her feet while pulling her hair, wishing she could pull all of it out.

Like a mouse that lost its tail, she turned around on the bed, and finally, her brain started working.

Picking up the clothes from the messy pile.

“Shit, I have fucked up. What have I done, I had a one night stand with some one I don’t know. I need to leave before any one sees me here.” Karen thought and quickly put on her clothes that was scattered on the ground. After that, she took her phone and bag and left the hotel room hiding her face with her scarf.

…..

Shortly after she had left, Grey Crawley came out from the bathroom door. He was a 1.8m tall, robust man which a towel was tied around his waist and his bare chest was exposed revealing his built body.

With his long legs stepping out, he looked around suspiciously, "Eh, where did that little thing go to? Did she...run away?"

The man gradually raised his eyebrows, full of discontent and annoyance.

"Shit! She escaped!" The man's face was incredibly good-looking. It was the kind that was devilish charismatic, with eyes as deep as the ocean, face narrow but sharp, with a chilling aura that people don't dare to look straight at.

Giving off an egotistical feeling with his aquiline nose while his thin lips exposed a little mean and coldness. Overall, he was a fierce and ruthless guy that was not easy to be close to.

Handsome but cold and frightening at the same

time.

Opening the metallic cigarette box patiently and taking out a stick, and slowly igniting it. Then Grey brought out his phone and called someone. “Find out who was the girl I slept with last night.”

“But young master Crawley, don’t you recognize her even after spending a night with her?” The other voice at the end of the phone said.

Grey paused and allowed what the person said to sink into his mind, and after a while he responded, “Just do as you are told and stop being such a pain in the neck.”

“Okay young master.”

Then the call was disconnected immediately by Grey.

Truth was that he really didn’t know who was the girl that he had slept with.

The previous night, after encountering kissing with that strange girl , he recalled he had only gone to Zenith hotel to pass time and drink his normal alcoholic drink which was a normal routine he was used to do, but after drinking himself to stupor he never knew he would spend the night with her.

The drink he drank was different from the normal drink he normally used to take on other days. Maybe because it was out of joy that he over drank or maybe it was out of anger filling him after the lady kissed him, but each way didn’t change the fact that she wasn’t aware of who this lady was.

As the CEO of the successful Crawley business, he knew he had many enemies who wanted to bring him down and they will look for any little way for them to achieve their mission. Before this lady will go around to blackmail him later in the future, he needed to pay her off for her service. Also, both of them had sex without using a condom and Grey could only hope she never gets pregnant with his baby, that would mean his doom.

He took his phone again and recalled the number he called before. The call was picked almost immediately.

“Yes young master Crawley.” The voice over the phone said.

“If you see her, don’t forget to give her contraceptive okay. Just pay her off and told her never to come back to this city and if she refuses, you throw her out…” Grey said.

“Yes young master..”

“Good.” Grey disconnected the call.

Although he had woken up before her. Yet because the drink was still having effects in his body and making him dizzy and his vision not clear enough to see her face, he decided to go to the bathroom to take his bath… yet it was as if the lady was looking for the right opportunity to run away, but despite all the money in the pocket of his trouser, she didn’t even take any and went away, but why?

How could she just left without with out even getting any from him. Now Grey was certain she had a motive why she slept with him, he must find her without her escaping and since she was still in still in this city, he had the chance that he could see her but don’t know how though.

After wearing his clothes, Grey took his belongings and went away. He settled the hotel workers on his way home. He tried calling his assistant about the update for the search of the mysterious lady but his assistant number wasn’t working through, so Grey dropped his phone and concentrated on his driving to his office.
