Evelyn's POV

I woke up with a terrible headache. It was throbbing and I felt sick to my stomach. I stretched myself on the comfy bed and looked around me and the room did not look familiar to me.

Another shocking thing was that I can't remember what happened last night. "Where am I?". I thought asking myself.

The room entrance door opened revealing a man. He walked in with a cup of coffee in his hand.

"Thank God you are awake. I was getting worried that I was about to call my doctor to come check on you". He said like he knows me.

I can't remember if I have met him before. But, he looked like someone I would like because he was good-looking. No? He looks like a Greek god. This man is what every woman will die for.

"I am sorry. But, who are you?" He looked shocked at my question. "I am sorry if my question hurts you. But I can't remember anything. So, can you tell me how I got here? And, what am I doing here?". I asked politely.

"What do you mean you can't remember what happened last night? That is strange. I need to call my doctor to check on you and to know what drug was given to you in the club". He finished. And start dialling a number.

"Please stop. I can't see a doctor now. I will do that on my own. And talking about a club. I remembered I was in a club with my friend and that was it. I can't remember anything again". Can you tell me how we met?". I asked because I still can't remember anything. And it's killing me.

He stopped calling whoever he was calling and gave me his attention.

He looked worried for some reason. And I wonder if I was the reason he was worried.

"Please, tell me something. I hope I have not done something stupid". I was hopeful

He sat beside me on the bed and he looked serious and concerned.

"Whatever happened yesterday was never something you should concerned yourself with. But I can assure you. You are safe. And you are still intact ". He smiled.

Now, that got me curious and concerned.

He got off the bed and gave me a small smile. "Drink your coffee. You can use the shower if you want. I think you need it. I will be down when you are done". And he left the room.

Immediately he left. I slipped off the bed and made use of the ensuite. I stripped and put my clothes on the counter in the ensuite. After about five minutes of showering. I stepped out of the shower and I towel-dried my hair and my body. And I wore back my clothes.

Coming out of the bathroom. I stood in front of the full-length mirror to check myself. I don't look bad. I searched for my shoes after which I walked out of the room. I walked through the hallway and I found the stairs that led to the sitting room.

Walking down the stairs. My nose was filled with the aroma of food. And if there is anything I want now. I need to eat.

I finally got to the sitting room and I found the handsome man earlier in the kitchen.

"Hi". I said. Sitting on a stool at the kitchen Islander.

"You must be hungry. Here eat this". He pushed a plate of pancakes to me with some berries beside it. I took it and I started eating.

"I am sorry I don't have much food at home. I normally eat out". He shrugged and sat beside me as he dug into his food.

I tilted my head to the side he was sitting and gave him a small smile.

He filled a glass cup with orange juice and pushed it to me. I took it and I drank from it as I put some berries into my mouth.

"Can I ask you a question?". I asked him.

"Sure". He replied without looking at me.

"When you said I was intact. What do you mean by that? I was curious to know if he was talking about me being a virgin. His answer could give me a clue.

He looked at me for a second like he wanted to read me. Then he went back to eating his food.

"It was nothing. I just wanted you to know that we didn't do anything. That's all". He shrugged.

"Ok. Evelyn is my name. What's yours?". I asked.

If I can't remember all that happened last night. I should at least ask for his name.

He smiled and shook his head. Then he looked at me with some kind of expression I couldn't understand. "Alexander. You can call me Alex"

"OK, Alex. It's nice meeting you. I don't know how we met last night. But, I want you to know that I appreciate the fact that you did not touch me. So, if you don't mind, I want to be on my way now". I stood up about to go.

"Let me drop you home ". He offered.

"No. I can take a cab". I refused

"I insist. And don't argue with me now". He insisted.

"Ok, fine". I agreed to go with him.

"Shall we?". He led the way and I followed after him.

We walked out of the elevator to his underground private garage. He opened the door to a sports car and I slid in. Closing the door. He rounded the car and slid behind the wheel. The engine roars, and he drives out of the building.

"We met in the club last night. After we danced. You agreed to come with me to my place". He paused."I did?". I asked. However, I remembered my discussion with my friend."Yes. We left for my place. My bodyguard drove your car to my place because you wanted to go with me". He paused for a while. But I was anxious. I want to know everything."So, what happened after that?" I wasn't patient enough. "We kissed. We were going to have sex. But, I couldn't""Why?" It came as a whisper"Because". He sighed. "Because I found out you are a virgin. So I stopped". He finished."Why?"

He waited for me to reply but he continued. "You need to stop. Reserve your energy for your bride. And give her some respect". He paused. As he opened his mouth to continue with his sermon. I spoke up interrupting him. "I have done everything you wanted me to do. I even agreed to marry the woman you chose for me despite not knowing her. You have not only fixed my engagement date. But you also want to fix my wedding date. Why?". I yelled. I decided to sit down on the edge of the bed to calm down. I had never used such a tone on him before.

I have no idea if I am okay. I simply do not want to frighten him. I felt sick to my stomach and my entire body started to weaken. Taking in our surroundings, I noticed two cars. Violet's car struck me as recognizable. However, I do not know the second vehicle. I shifted my gaze to Alex. And he was staring at me. "We may have some guests, I believe."
