“You were not allowed to leave me alone, mi amor,” a tear slipped down from her eyes, hearing that throaty voice and its words.
“W….who are you?” Mustering all her courage, Cyra dared to ask him that question.
“Someone, who touched, felt and kissed every forbidden inch of your body last night,” his words brought more tears in her eyes. Her entire body started clenching in fear.
“What do you want from me? W…why are you doing all of this?” she questioned him and heard him humming in his response.
“What I wanted from you, I have already taken it from you last night, Ms. Merciez but now what I need from you…..” she heard him pausing for a moment.
“I will take it from you very soon, mi amor,” and those were his last words before she witnessed the call getting disconnected, leaving her completely appalled.
Cyra looked at her phone and called him again but he didn't pick up anymore which filled her with more horror. Who was he? And did he drug her last night to take advantage of her vulnerable state? And most importantly what did he need from her now after he took her virtue from her last night?
………………..
“Mi amor…..” his voice resonated inside her head, making Cyra ball her fists.
Standing under the shower, her glossy eyes were peering at her own reflection in that huge mirror in front of her. His touch, his warmth, his presence, the way her body melted into his last night continued to play in her mind which turned the tears in her eyes more vigorous.
Cyra could clearly see his marks all over body. Her bosoms, her neck, her cleavage, her thighs, everywhere in the reflection of that mirror and they made her recall his words….that he had touched and marked every forbidden inch of her skin.
Clenching her jaw, she aggressively tried to wipe his marks away from her body with her hands. Her skin reddened and even started bleeding because of her harsh scratches but his marks on her skin didn't fade and this made Cyra break down into tears before she dropped herself on the floor.
Cyra cupped her face in agony. How did the best night of her life become her worst nightmare?
FLASHBACK FROM LAST NIGHT
“Our birthday princess is finally here,” Cyra heard her best friend, Leena, uttering the moment she stepped inside that club, Emerald Ocean, where she was throwing her 21st birthday celebration party tonight for her friends and college mates.
“Where were you?”
“You know our city’s traffic at this time of the hour, Leena,” Cyra said, making Leena roll her eyes at her.
“Now come fast. Everyone is waiting there for you in that lounge,” Leena spoke out, grabbing Cyra's hand, making Cyra follow her.
While walking with Leena, Cyra felt her phone vibrating inside her dress’s pocket. She took it out and saw a text from her boyfriend, Ethan, who couldn't attend her birthday party tonight because of his important job interview in one of the most powerful and prestigious companies in their entire country…The Alvaro Corporations, which was going to take place tomorrow.
‘Did you reach safely?’ She read his text and smiled. She loved his caring nature a lot.
‘Yes and once again, all the very best for your job interview…’She texted him back.
“Hey! Whom you are texting? Leena tried to look into her phone but Cyra immediately hid it from her.
“No one,” she lied, putting her phone back inside her dress’s pocket. No one knew about her and Ethan's relationship as they both chose to keep it secret from everyone, including her family and friends and it was because of their extreme financial background and status differences.
“Oh….okay,” Leena uttered, earning a smile from Cyra.
“Now come fast. Everyone is waiting there for you in that lounge,” Leena spoke out, grabbing Cyra's hand to drag her. Cyra chuckled at her best friend’s eagerness and was about to follow her when suddenly she felt a chill running down her spine which automatically paused her feet.
“What happened?” Leena asked, confused, witnessing Cyra halting and looking here and there, like she was trying to find someone.
“Whom you are looking for, Cyra?”
Cyra shrugged her shoulders at Leena's question but again scanned her entire surroundings where she saw different kinds of men and women enjoying their time in drinking, dancing and conversing but they all looked busy in their own world then why did she feel like she was getting watched by someone?
“Cyra, let's go,” Leena attempted to drag Arene with her and with a soft sigh, she followed Leena, believing it was just her delusional self.
“Here comes our birthday girl. Happy Birthday, Cyra,” Cyra heard everyone wishing her after she stepped inside that Vip lounge of that club which she had privately reserved for tonight to celebrate her birthday party with her friends and college mates.
“Thank you so much,” Cyra passed all of them a warm and sweet smile and then one by one, they all started personally wishing her and giving her their presents.
“Many many happy returns of the day, Cyra,” Cyra heard her classmate, Kellan, wishing her while coming towards her which completely dimmed her smile.
“You are looking gorgeous,” his eyes roamed all over her body which made Cyra clench her palms. She passed him a forced smile as she didn't want to ruin her birthday party.
