In the early morning at seven, Daniel came down from his room dressed in T-shirt and shorts. He had his phone held firmly to his ear. He was trying to get through to his brother, but all his calls were directed to voicemail.
Once down, he strode to Aunt Phillis room. He knocked on the door before slightly opening the door. He first took a peek in the room.
He turned to leave when he saw his Mother and Nanny were still deep in slumber. After taking a few steps, he saw his father sitting on the sofa watching TV. To be more precise, he was watching business news.
He walked to him and greeted. Felix turned his head to his son, he raised his brows questioningly when he saw his clothes. It was casual but .....
" Are you going somewhere?" he asked as he turned his head back to the TV screen.
"I can't get through to brother. Am going over to the hotel." Daniel said with worry visible in his voice.
Felix nodded with his eyes fixed on the screen. "Okay, I will tell the rest when they wake up" he mouthed out.
Truth is, he also had been feeling unsettled since last night. He had been calling his son's phone but was continuously directed to voicemail. He didn't have a good night sleep at all. So the first thing he did when he woke up from his restless sleep was to go down and watch business news.
Only watching business news did he feel at ease.
Because of the sudden heartbreaking news of Aunt Phillis, they didn't go back to the old mansion last night.
Daniel nodded, turned and left in large strides. His phone was still pressed to his ears.
Inside a very neat and glamorous room in the hotel and on the bed. Emil raised his hand to massage his forehead. With his eyes still closed, he frowned at how bad his head was aching.
While massaging his head with one hand, he tried lifting his other hand but unfortunately something heavy was lying on his hand.
As if being shock with an electric circuit, he forced his eyes widely opened in bewilderment. He instinctively turned his head to the side where his hand was being used as a pillow.
'What the hell is this ?!'
He looked down at himself and was shock to see that, he was half naked. He only had his pants on. And lipstick stains were all over his chest.
He felt disgusted. But felt more disgusted when he saw the girl who was sleeping comfortably with his hand as her pillow.
One look at her exposed shoulders and Emil knew she was naked.Though she had herself covered in the blanket.
This scene bewildered Emil. What have he done .!
Some time later, Emil emerged from the bathroom all dressed up in his shirt and pants. He stood at the bathroom door and stared in trance at the girl who was still sleeping.
"Do you want to wake up on your own or should I do it for you ?" Emil suddenly spoke menacingly.
Louisa quickly sat up, revealing her chest area. Emil had guessed right, she wasn't wearing anything on her body. She was totally naked.
Emil frowned in disgust when he saw her breasts. But he didn't take his eyes off her face. His stare was penetratingly cold. Louisa subconsciously covered her chest with her arms.
As crazy as she may be, she was after all a proud girl. She felt cheap with herself exposed like that. Emil saw her action and coldly chuckled.
"You know how to feel shame? Why are you here?" he asked as if she was his worst enemy.
Louisa covered herself with the blanket and stare at him. She didn't say anything to his question.
' Why is she here? isn't it obvious?'
Emil walked to the door annoyed. When Louisa saw that he was about to leave, she panicked.
"You called me last night to come and keep you company. And when I .." she paused in fear when she Emil's eyes turning dark as he gazed at her.
"Hah! Are you still sleeping ?"
Louisa shock her head, thinking he was casually asking a question.
" Why would I call you? Are you my mother? ---or lover?" Emil said sounding very cold and unfriendly.
Louisa shock her head in fear.
" Then why would I call you? he repeated his first question.
" That..that.. but you ..you slept with me !" She struggled as she finally said what her agenda for coming there was.
Emil raised his brows annoyingly. He felt a headache and a storm coming. He had expected this outcome when he was in the shower.
"I slept with you? Do you have evidence of me sleeping with you?"
When she heard his words, she felt happy and hopeful At least he didn't deny to have slept with me. He wants evidence right? Then I will surely give him one. A very big one at that !
Emil saw through her slight acts. He knew something wasn't right. But unfortunately, he couldn't pinpoint what that was.
"Don't try and tell me to check the CCTV of you coming to the room last night. Because I won't buy that at all" he lazily said but his eyes never left hers
"I was going to say we check it at the hospital. They will know if my body has been penetrated or not." She said as if in a whisper.
Emil wanted to strangle the girl to death. But what he was most concerned of was how she was able to enter his room and lie with him on the bed without him not knowing or noticing anything.
'Could his drinks have been drugged last night?'
At this sudden thought, he gazed sharply but threateningly at the girl before him. " Did you drug my drinks last night?! " he asked but he didn't expect her to answer. Because he was damn sure that was what happened.
