An accident

Two weeks ago.....

Sierra Leone woke up with a banging headache and felt like her body was on fire. Every muscle in her body is aching, as if she ran a marathon.

"Ahhh" she groaned and sat up on the Plush cloud like bed in her room while holding her head.

The soft lull of the ocean as their Yacht took them farther away from the shore made her stomach feel queasy.

Her best and only friend Claire Woods Invited Sierra to her uncle's engagement party which was going to be held on their private island after two weeks, and the bride and groom's side friends and relatives will celebrate the upcoming festivities on the ocean while sailing in their huge luxurious Yacht.

Claire gave Sierra her own room, knowing how difficult it is for Sierra to adjust with strangers. And the bed in her room feels like she is sleeping on a cloud.

"I suggest you to leave before I decide to throw you out" a very masculine and a strange voice rang from beside Sierra, much to her shock. Her eyes blinked open with confusion. When she saw a very handsome and Muscular and not to forget a half Naked man standing in the middle of the room, she was stunned.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my room?" she cried out in alarm and belatedly realised that she is naked too. When she sat up, the blanket slipped down and poolled around her waist, exposing her naked torso to that man. She immediately covered her body with panic.

She was never been kissed by a man before, let alone sleep with one. So to see a man in her room came out as a big shock. And the soreness between her legs is telling her more than she remembered from last night. All she remembered was that, she got drunk and then nothing. Her first night on the yacht, she ended up losing her virginity to a very handsome stranger who has a tattoo running from his back to the side of his neck.

His features are sharp as if he was carved from a Greek statue. His eyes are like two dark pools of Abyss. Bottomless and scary.

"I am not in your room. You are in mine" that man replied calmly, as this is an everyday occurrence and he is bored to even answer her. He didn't even bothered to look at her. He went to his wardrobe to pick his clothes..

Belatedly Sierra realised that he is telling the truth.

"How did I ended up in your room?" she demanded.

That caught his attention. Slowly he moved his gaze away from his laptop and looked at her with his intense but captivating gaze. His iris is so black, she felt like his eyes are two black holes sucking her in.

"Cut the act will you? I don't believe in coincidences. Don't try to fool me by saying that you entered my room by mistake. Every woman says the same and demand money later. There is some money on the table for last night. Take it and leave" he spoke camly. Despite insulting her like this, he is not raising his voice. But still he managed to show her what he thinks of her in just a few words.

His words stung. She is not like that. She never throw herself at men. She never did and she never will. She has too much self respect to do that.

She didn't defend herself. Looking at him, she realised that It's useless. She is indeed in his room even though she doesn't remember how she came here. She ignored the money. Without wasting any time, she quickly got dressed in record speed and ran out of his room. She didn't stop until she is standing inside the safety of her room.

She is breathing heavily, trying to remember what happened last night. She remembered feeling out of place in between these rich people. Only Claire and her boyfriend Adam cared about her and tried to give her company. But she could see that Adam wanted some alone time with Claire, so Sierra assured them she will be fine on her own.

After that, she remembered her mother whom she lost just six months ago. Then she forgot how much she drank and how she ended up with that man.

"Oh god, what a mess. I can't even run away from here even if I wanted to. He must be some rich man who must have thought that I was an easy lay. Should I tell Claire?" she wondered when a loud knock came from outside followed by Claire's voice.

"Sierra, are you awake?"

Sierra was about to open the door and cry on her best friends shoulders about how she lost her virginity to a stranger. But when she heard Adam's voice, her hand paused on the door handle.

She looked at herself. She is a mess. With one glance anyone can tell that what she was up to. She couldn't face Adam looking like this.

"Ya, I am awake" she replied through the door.

She heard shuffling of foot steps.

"Good, then freshen up and meet me on the second floor deck. I will introduce you to my uncle, the groom and his bride" Claire announced with excitement.

Sierra doesn't want to go out of her room. She wanted to sit in her room and feel sorry for herself.

But she doesn't want to disappoint Claire who seemed excited.

"Alright, I will meet you there" Sierra promised.

She heard the retreating foot steps of Claire and Adam.

After they left, She stood there for a while before she gathered herself. She stood under the shower, washing away the night she spent. She decided that she would pretend as if she doesn't know that man even if she sees him while on board.and avoid him at all costs. And he didn't look like he is desparate for female attention either.

She finished up her morning routine and picked up an outfit for the day. A floral printed sleeveless sundress, which was gifted by Claire. This is one of many. That dress rested just above her knees. She pulled her hair up into a neat fancy bun. After applying some maskara and lipstick, she was ready to face the day.

On the other hand, After Sierra left, Xavier Woods looked at the bed where it's stained red.

Something flashed in his dark orbs. Something odd and unreadable. He ignored the stain and finished getting dressed. He remembered how she entered his room.

Like he told Sierra, he doesn't believe in coincidences. He is to meet his niece, daughter of his elder brother, who passed away a few years ago. Xavier promised to take care of Claire for his brother.

After he is done, he walks out of his room to the deck to meet Claire.

"Uncle, you are here" Claire exclaimed excitedly much to Sierra's shock.

'He is the groom?' Sierra thought with shock.
