"Why do I even have to go?. Not that my presence will add to anything" Bella said while staring at herself in the mirror.
She's wearing a red gown with high slit, her hair is curled to a wavy style added with some red lipstick and black stiletto heels.
Stepping out of her room, her phone dings indicating a text message." I'm outside " the text message was from Aaron.
He was accompanying Bella to the birthday party. Sebastian their uncle, although quite old , he still live socializing. This birthday is going to be filled with so lots of business figures.
Sighing, Bella went to meet Aaron knowing tonight was going to be a long night. Stepping outside, she saw Claire standing beside Aaron. Rolling her eyes, she ignores Claire and smiled softly at Aaron. Aaron is handsome with a bit of boyish style to his feature. He's wearing a deep blue suit with his hair slick back.
Aaron saw Bella and his heart almost skipped a beat, he knew she was beautiful but tonight's outfit enhanced her beautiful curves and beautiful deep brown eyes. Moving from Claire's side, he took her Bella's hand and led her to the car, leaving Claire fuming at the sight. Claire outfit is a black gown that hugged her body like a second skin.Claire is beautiful with the sultry look while Bella's beauty has that pure touch to it.
Arriving at the hotel where the party is supposed to take place, Bella stepped out without waiting for Aaron to open the car door for her and went inside not glancing at either Aaron or Claire. Aaron is clearly displeased.
" Aaron, don't mind my sister, we can go in together" Claire said smiling linking her arm to Aaron and walking inside.
Stepping inside, all eyes turned to Bella
"Wow, who's that enchantress?"
"She looks like a goddess"
" What's her name?"
"How can someone be this beautiful"
Different gazes, men looking like they were about to pounce on her, women looking at her with envy and jealousy. Ignoring everyone, Bella took a seat at the far end of the hall keeping to herself,all while waiting for the party to be over so she could go back to her apartment and her personal space.
The reason she went to the whitmore's house was because of this party, her father forced her to stay over till the party is over. Bella moved out of the whitmore's household when she turned 18, renting an apartment all by herself.
A while later, a waiter came to serve her a drink unbeknownst to her, the drink was already spiked by Claire.
When Bella started feeling dizzy, she didn't really pay much attention to it thinking she just drank the wine more than usual. Looking flushed and disoriented she staggers to find the restroom.
" Sister, where are you going" Claire's voice rang out stopping Bella
" Claire step out of my way I need to go to the restroom" Bella said softly
" Sister we are at Uncle Sebastian's birthday party,why will you drink so much " Claire said smirking looking at Bella flushed face " oh well, the drug might be kicking in already,now let's get you to the room" Claire said while holding Bella's arm tightly Incase she might escape.
" I'll make sure you're ruin this time around " she said with so much venom in her voice
" Claire what ... what do you mean?" Bella tried to push Claire away but she's visibly very weak
" what did you give to me?" she said
" you'll find out soon enough" Claire said pushing Bella to one of the hotel room.
Weak and drugged coupled with being pushed by Claire, Bella stumbled and almost fell but was caught by a strong arm
" Huh?" Bella looked up and met two blue enchanting eyes blinking her doe eyes at the stranger that caught her.
Nathan was enchanted by the woman he held, looking down at her flushed face and tempting red lips , he momentarily forgot how she ended up in his room. The woman in his front was stunningly beautiful, she didn't look like she has ulterior motive unlike other women who throw themselves at him cause of his money and influence. Nathan came for a meeting with an investor and ended up taking too much alcohol,he decided to stay over at the hotel .Gaining his senses back gently pushed Bella away while staggering to the bed.
"who are you and how did you get to my room?" he asked coldly
" I.... I.... don't know" Bella said meekly still clearly drunk
" Please help me, I feel so hot" she suddenly said tugging at her gown.
Staggering to stand properly, she walked towards Nathan " please help".
Nathan who hasn't taken his eyes off the little woman in his front suddenly felt hot and thirsty, but he knew it's not water he needed but the beautiful woman in his room.
Nathan stretched his hand "come here" pulling Bella towards him "what's your name" he asked hoarsely
"Bella my name is ummm Bella" Bella who is still clearly drunk and disoriented forced the words out of her mouth. Taking off his ring, he slipped it on her finger
" I might not recall your face later,this ring will help me find you" after saying that he looked at the beautiful woman on his lap and wondered how her beautiful lips will taste. As if reading his thoughts, Bella clearly not in her state of mind suddenly kissed him
"ummm" she moan. All Nathan's last self control was thrown in to the wind when he heard her soft voice and he took her.
In the morning, Bella opens her eyes looking around taking her a minute to organize her thoughts before she knew she was not in her room. Confused and still trying to put her thoughts in order
"where am I, ughh" she held her head trying to stop the headache that's coming. Remembering how she got here, she remembered Claire pushing her into this room
" I need to leave here before he wakes up" She said quickly dressing and then noticed the ring on her finger
" I might not recall your face later,this ring will help me find you" she remembered the man saying this last night but who did she sleep with.
Trying to find out, she peeked and almost screamed when she saw that it was none other than Nathan Rivers the famous CEO of the Rivers group
"oh my God, I need to leave right now, what have I done?" she berated herself. Taking another look at the handsome face on the bed, she slipped out of the hotel room.
Coming to the lobby, she wasn't shocked to meet Claire there and standing beside her is Aaron whose expression is darkened like a storm. It's obvious Claire was the one who set everything up to gloat. Rolling her eyes, she walked up to her
" why did you drug me?" Bella asked clearly fuming
" What do you mean I drugged you? You weren't home last night and we were worried " Claire said faking concern. Walking towards Bella, she lowered her voice
"Did you enjoy yourself last night sister, I'm sure the three men satisfied you well" Claire said smirking
" three men, so you wanted me to be humiliated? wow you really are very disgusting " Bella replied angrily
"Sister,why are you accusing me falsely?" Claire said her voice choking. Whoever heard her will think Bella was wrongly accusing her.
"Bella! What sort of nonsense is this? I came with you to the party and you left me to go with someone else? How shameless can you be?" Aaron spat angrily. Bella raised her eyes and looked at him clearly not ready to defend herself.
He can think whatever he wants,he obviously doesn't trust me, maybe now he'll call off the engagement.
Seeing that Bella was not talking, Aaron stormed off leaving her and Claire. Claire noticing that Aaron already left decided to answer Bella's earlier question.
"hahahahahaha, wait were you too drunk to know that you slept with 3 men?" Claire said loudly trying to let everyone know. Immediately she said that, all eyes turned to Bella
" three men? who is this shameless woman"
" she looks so innocent but who knows she's so shameless and rotten"
Even after hearing all the judgemental words, Bella didn't even flinched instead she kept looking at Claire
"Sister, father is very upset with you, he asking you to come back home right now or he'll disown you " Claire said playing the innocent card
" even her father wants to disown her, so shameless "
" if I was the father, I'll disown her immediately before she brings disgrace to the family " people in the lobby talking to each other but made it loud enough for Bella to hear.
Back upstairs in the VIP room, Nathan wakes up and found that Bella was no longer on the bed , picking his phone he called his assistant
" find that woman that came to my room last night" his cold voice rang out
' who went to the boss's room yesterday, when did the boss allergy stop' Oliver the assistant thought to himself but went on the assignment his boss gave him. Coming to the lobby, he met the scene where Bella was being berated by everyone
" what's going on here" he thought to himself,he was about leaving when he caught the sight of the ring on Bella's finger and immediately called Nathan
"Boss there's a woman in the lobby wearing your ring, is she the one?"
"Make sure she doesn't leave" Nathan replied while dressing.
He came downstairs and heard when Claire said Bella slept with 3 men last night.
" And who said she slept with 3 men last night?" his cold voice rang out . Everyone looked up to see who was defending Bella and they were shocked, standing in front of them was none other than Nathan Rivers the cold domineering billionaire of the Rivers Corporation. Dylan took over the River's group when he was 22 and has transformed the company in just 5 years. He was rumoured to be heartless in his dealings and people are scared to cross him, at 27 years old, Nathan was still a famous bachelor every woman in the city was dying to be with so why was he defending Bella, could it be that Bella was with Nathan?
Everyone was left wondering what was happening when Claire spoke up
"oh Mr Rivers, you don't know this but last night my sister was drunk and slept with 3 men"
" Are you trying to say that I don't know what I'm saying?" Dylan replied coldly
" Huh?" Claire was visibly confused,she was sure she pushed Bella to the right room so why was Nathan saying Bella was with him.
Glancing coldly at everyone, he turned to Bella and spoke softly "let's go"
Bella was still in a daze, how did Nathan end up here?
" oh okay" she said softly while following him out
Claire couldn't believe what she was seeing
" no, no, no ,this can't be happening" she angrily dug out her phone from her bag and called the men she arranged last night
" How can you tell me you didn't see her in the room?" Claire was so angry she could spit out blood.
