Wish brought the half-awake Brent to a hotel room just above the party venue, struggling. She dumped the man right at the bed and took a breath because she was running out of it.
" You are freaking heavy." she patted her dress and hands, looking at the asleep man. He vomited quite a lot in the bathroom and got knocked out. The waiter boy must have used a very strong pill or something. Hope he doesnt die.
When she confirmed he was fast asleep, she went out the room and called her father. " Where am i staying tonight? why isnt there anyone coming to pick me up??" she cried in the phone.
" You are staying wherever Mr.brent stays." was her father's reply.
" HUh?? nobody said me about this??"
A beep beep sound came from the other line. " Are you serious??" wish looked at her phone annoyed seeing her father had cut the line. " You are gonna pay for this.." she walked along the corridor when a girl was also coming up her way. She ignored her but the girl stepped right in front of her, tilting her head.
She looked like one of the rich bratty kids with an expensive dress and few jewelries. " We have to talk." the girl said raising her brows at Wish.
" What?" she became shocked by the girl's sudden order. " Who sent you?" the girl was shady as hell. Wish carefully studied her face and appearance.
She only smirked playfully, twirling her fake hair. " What if i say to the world about your poor past? and your helpless mom? Oh and....your sick sister?"
Wish clenched her fist. Still studying the girls features, something was off. " I said who sent you?"
The girl put her hair behind her ears. Wish was quick to notice her nails. They were plain nails with nothing on it. The girls here had all done their nails, polished and manicured. Even Abbey had done her nails today. " You....are not from here, are you?"
The girl was taken aback for a second but got her act together, " What the hell do you mean? Do you want your secret to be exposed?"
Wish forcefully grabbed her wrist and looked at her nails, " Isnt it weird.....that your nails look pretty worn out? Probably by doing some chores??" she raised her brows at the shook girl. Pulling her hands away from Wish, she ran ahead but Wish grabbed her again but with fail. The girl fled from the corridor into a restricted door. She breathed heavily, frustrated. " It was Brent....."
Wish guessed going back to the room. He was still sleeping in the same position. She quickly went through his pockets in his pants and coats. Only a phone was on his pant's pocket. The shirt's pocket had something though. Putting her hands in it, she felt a card. It wrote Mary hotels and co.
Wish squinted it like she had seen it somewhere but couldnt point out. Thinking it might be important she put inside her pocket. She slumped on the couch, tired with all that happened in just a day. Now what was she gonna do? Sleep here? run away? Her head started paining.
" Ugh...." the dress was also uncomfortable as hell. " I will just rest my head for a while." she leaned her head on the cushion, closing her eyes. It felt like she hadnt slept in years. In just a few minutes, she dozed off into her dream.
The next morning, she could feel warm and comfortable. It felt like she was back to her cozy bedroom. Wish slowly opened her eyes, to see an unfamiliar ceiling. " Hmm....?" she adjusted her eyes, when a figure came to view.
" Finally woke up, Miss.lennon?" Brent stood beside with a cocky smile. She immediately sat up, realising where she was. Last night, she wasnt supposed to sleep. She quickly glanced down and was relieved when her dress was still on.
" You dont have to worry. I have done Nothing to you." he noticed her reaction and emphasized the nothing.
" Yeah...i mean....i was just checking." she pushed her hair back nervously.
" When i woke up, i saw you on the couch uncomfortable so decided to put you on the bed." he folded his arms, " Basically, you slept when i woke up so nothing happened."
" O-okay....thats a great relief."
" By the way Miss.lennon, " he came closer, " Yesterday, in that drink..."
Wish instantly looked up.
" It was your doing, right?" his face was close to hers now. She felt like her breath was caught on her throat, making her suffocated. He smelled of fresh shampoo and body shower, seeping right into her nose. The closeness was enough to make her gulp. But the real problem was, How did he figure it?
Brent noticed her breathless face and stepped away, " How did i figure it out?...you maybe thinking.
Wish looked down, gulping hard.
" Well, isnt it obvious?" he tilted his head, " I insulted you and in return you planned a revenge?"
She grabbed the blanket tightly. It was obvious, yeah.
" Well, i wont particularly do anything since it was childish.....and i understand." he was clearly enjoying seeing her pathetic self. " In return, do what i say."
Again, she had to do whatever he commanded and she couldnt do anything about it.
" Come to Mary hotel, tonight." Brent smirked evilly, " I will text you the time and room number."
And with that he grabbed his coat and left the room. Wish gritted her teeth, tears forming on her eyes. Anger was peaking inside her head. Even thinking about that damn guy was enough to boil her blood.
She threw the blanket angrily and grabbed her hair. It was only the second day, yet it felt like years. How was she going to handle him in the future?
---
Wish stood outside the Mary hotel, trying to remain calm. She also had to know who did this hotel belong to and how they were connected. There had to be something.
The door had number '18' on it. Brent had texted her to come at this room. She knocked on it and was received by a.....half naked girl? She gave a boring look, staring her from down to her face. " Oh, looks like its the lennon girl..."
More girls who only wore lingerie peeked from inside. Wish gave a shocked look. Was it the wrong room? But she swear she heard the girl call her Lennon? What was happening?
" Oh, let her in." came the low, raspy voice. It was.....Brent.
The girl stepped aside, gesturing her to get in. Wish stayed frozen in her spot, unable to move.
" Are you coming in or not?" the girl threatened her. " Brent doesnt like waiting."
She thought for sometime but decided to go in. The view inside made her gasp. Brent who was half naked lied on the bed, while those girls surrounded him. Some massaging his neck, some making him drink the whiskey and some kissing his chest.
He laughed lightly, " You scared Lennon?" he adjusted himself on the bed now in a sitting position.
Wish felt betrayed and angry at the same time. The man she was going to marry was a womanizer. He looked like a trouble but she had never imagined him to be this low. The feeling she felt right now was just painful and horrible.
" Now that you have seen my true form..." he licked his lips with a dangerous look. " How about you show your true form too?"
She didnt understand what he meant. " You really live like this?" she finally spoke with disgust, " Were you going to take advantage of me too?"
Brent looked at her with an unreadable expression. While the girls sighed with disbelief, " You bitch...." one of the girls shoved her, " Are you disrespecting us?"
" Im not!!" Wish shouted, " Cant you see hes controlling you guys??"
The girls shared a look and rolled their eyes, " Girl, you are annoying..." the first girl came up to her and stripped her sweater away. Wish was wide-eyed when more girls came up to her and started to forcefully take her clothes off. " Get away from me!!!" she tired to push them away but they were just too many.
One by one they took her shirt off and pulled her skirt. Wish shouted now crying heavily, " Please!! PLEASE!!! dont do this to me!!! STOP ITT!!"
The girl continued trying to take her other clothing but Brent came up front and stopped the girls. Wish was covering her half naked body, crying her eyes out. He didnt know why he stopped them since it was his order.
Brent grabbed her chin, she didnt look him up in the eyes. " What are you so scared of Lennon?" she didnt say anything, tears staining her cheeks. " You werent scared of poisoning me yesterday, so what are you scared of today?"
Wish slapped his hands away and glared at him. Without saying another, she picked her clothes and wore it quickly. Brent only stared at her, not doing anything.
" Brent, what the hell are you just looking for?" one of the girls angrily called.
Wish opened the door and before stepping out, she turned to them, mainly looking at Brent, " You are the worst."
