Chapter 2

Chapter 2

My eyes fluttered open. Rubbing the sleep off my eye, i could feel the morning breeze lightly dancing on my face and the bright sun stinging my eye.

I looked around the room and arched my brows.

Where am I ? This is definitely not my room.

I stretch my body and sat up on the bed that was when I noticed am naked.

Wait, what?. What the hell happened to me?

I definitely have not been to this room before.

I ransacked my brain trying to remember what happened last night.

Was I raped? Oh God!, I hope not.

Then I remembered, I talked to Asher about having a divorce then I left the house.

I went to a club and ordered for alcoholic drink. Then I met a guy who was seating next to me and drinking. I can’t really remember what happened next.

*Don’t you think you are drinking to much*

*Your boyfriend broke your heart?*

I remember him saying that. “What again, camille, think! Think!” I groaned.

I closed my eyes tightly forcing myself to remember.

Okay, he offered to take me to a room and then he laid me and oh my God!

My eyes widened when I reminisce what I said.

*Make love to me, please*

I slapped myself really hard. What have I done?

*No, No, you are drunk*

“Yes, I was fucking drunk and have stupidly gave my body to a stranger” I ranked my hair in my hair as I thought of what to do.

I got up from the bed stark naked and saw my clothes on the floor.

I quickly put them on and checked the bathroom but no one was there.

“How dare him?!” I gritted my teeth angrily.

“ I was drunk and he took advantage of me”

*he was drunk too* my subconscious shot at me.

“Whatever” I huffed and left the room.

********************

Worry gnawed at me as I stood in front of my house.

Am back to Asher. Oh God help me.

The front door was opened so I closed the door gently behind me and tiptoed in.

I flinched when I saw Asher standing in front of me.

“Where were you last night?” He asked coldly.

Panic assailed me and I played with my fingers.

“I....I....” I stuttered.

“Am asking for the last time, where were you last night?”

I scratch my head. “At Annie’s place. Yes!”

He chuckled. “You really think am stupid don’t you? I called Annie and guess what, she haven’t seen you for two days now. And your phone” he waved it on her face.

I gulped down nothing. “ i can go anywhere I want”

“Oh really?, You are a married woman Camille and you spent the night outside of home. Where were you?”

“Please, Asher. Save me the questions. I need to rest” I said and made to walk past him but he pushed me back making me fall on my butt.

I glared at him.

“Where were you last night?!, you were fucking men right? Have always known you are a slut but I didn’t expect it to have gotten to this extent”

His words felt like a knife to my heart. “Asher” I called, my throat thickened with sobs.

“Shut the fuck up! You know what, you are grounded. You can’t leave the house without my permission”

“Am not a school girl you can just decide to ground”

He chuckled. “Oh, I have the right to, that would stop you from opening your legs to men shamelessly”

My mood plummeted. On a normal day, I would have argued with him but he is right, am a slut.

Who else have sex with a stranger?

*Camille, you were drunk. You wouldn’t have done it in your right sense* That was my sub conscious trying to comfort me.

I said nothing and stood up, my waist hurting a bit. He had pushed me hard. I walked to our room and went straight to the bathroom to empty my tears.

Asher left for work after locking me in the house.

My phone rang. It was Annie, I picked up.

“Hello”

“Camille, where were you last night?, Asher called. He sounded worried”

Worried indeed. I scoffed.

“I just...went out. I didn’t take my phone so there was no way I could have called him”

“Oh okay”

I couldn’t tell her Asher have changed. I didn’t have the courage too. I know Annie, she would rush down and fight Asher.

Besides, I don’t want her to judge me so it better not to let her know.

“Let go out. Probably shopping. I met a guy recently and he have been lavishing his money on me so bills on me”

“Oh, Annie. Am kind of busy”

“Come off it. Is Asher home?” She asked.

“No”

“Then what are you busy doing?”

Asher made sure I don’t work. He told me he want me to be a full housewife. Reasons are, he doesn’t want to stress me. I kind of reasoned with him and agreed now am regretting it.

Am stuck at home all day doing nothing.

“Stuffs.....”

“Should I come over?” She required.

“No!” I answered immediately.

She must not know that Asher grounded me. Gosh!, it’s embarrassing.

“Camille, you are acting strange, is their something I should know?”

“Yes.... no! Talk to you later, I need to do something”. I hurriedly said and dropped the call.

Am so screwed. Lying on my head and closing my eyes, I tried to remember the scenes from yesterday night.

It was just a one night stand. I probably can’t see him again. I don’t even know his name!

***********************

Harry POV.

******

No matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to get yesterday’s night scene off my head.

I didn’t mean to have sex with her but I was drunk and didn’t know what I was doing.

After waking up this morning, I had quickly dressed up and left the clubhouse immediately before she would wake up.

I didn’t want to create any tension between us. Besides, am still suffering from heartbreak. Don’t want to add anything to it.

**Stop thinking about it, Harry” I told myself as I tried to concentrate on the document I was working on with my laptop.

I heard two feminine voice outside my office and they seem to be arguing.

“Am very Sorry but I can’t allow you Enter”

That was my secretary voice.

“Do you know who I am!!, get out of my way, I need to see your boss”

“Please, let me inform him first”

“No!”

I stood up and opened the door revealing my secretary, Avery and ex girlfriend,Scarlett.

“Sir, I told her she can’t enter and she just....”

I interrupted Avery. “You can go”

Avery nods, glared at Scarlett and left.

“What do you want?” I asked scarlett.

Scarlett smirks and entered my office. “What do we have here?”

She sat on my chair and looked around.

“What do you want?” I asked again. “Am busy” I added.

“Oh really?, anyways, I came to give you something”

I didn’t bother to ask because she opened her purse immediately and brought out an envelope.

She hand it our to me but I didn’t collect it. “What is it?”

“My wedding invitation” she replied and anger seared through me.

Do she have to rub it on my face all the time.

“Am not coming. Leave my office” I simply said and went over to my seat and sat down.

“Oh, I get it. You can’t bear the sight of seeing me and your dad kissing on the alter” she smirked.

“Scarlett or whatever your name is, you broke up with me, fine!, now you want to marry my dad. It not a big deal, it your life and you can live it the way you want it.”

“It a big deal to you because you are still in love with me” She shot at me.

Well, she is right! Am still in love with her and it driving me nuts.

I met Scarlett as a waiter. She was naive, innocent and beautiful.

I didn’t care if she was from an average family because I was in love with her.

I spoiled her with money and make sure she never lacked. Bought a car and house for her but I guess she want satisfied.

She was greedy for more. She knows my dad is more richer than me and went for him.

I didn’t know how she did it but my dad announced it to the family he is marrying her just few days after she broke up with me.

“Scarlett, I was in love with you. Not anymore. Am not coming to your goddam wedding. Now, leave my office before I call security on you!”

“Fine, I would leave but that doesn’t change the fact you still want me” She winked and left closing the door behind her hardly.

Flames of anger shot through me, I tightened my grip on my phone and before I could control myself, I slammed it hard across the room.
