CHAPTER 2
After he left, the shocked Naveah took a cab to go back to her hotel to clean herself up and rest for a while since she had work the next day.
When she arrived at the hotel and as she came out of the carb, she started noticing people looking at her with disgust and hatred as they started whispering amongst them but she didn't understand why.She finally decided to shove it to the back of her mind.
She was about to enter the hotel when the manager came out and when she saw Naveah, she rolled her eyes, having a disgusted look on her face. Naveah, getting more and more confused, didn't understand what was going on. As her mind was going wild thinking about what was going on. Someone's voice brought her out of her dazzle.
"Don't even think of going any further!!." The manager said.
Shock was an understatement for the look Naveah had on her face at that moment. Before she even had the time to react the manager spoke again.
"Your scandal has tainted the reputation of this hotel and letting you continue to work here will just make things worse." The manager added
After saying that two security guards came and dragged Naveah out of the hotel throwing her on the pavement. She fell and hit her back on the rough ground as she groaned in pain. Few minutes later her things were on the floor next to her.
Mockery could be heard from the others at the entrance of the hotel. Naveah was broken; she had just lost her job at the hotel when it was her dream to become one of the greatest hoteliers in the country but because of James' humiliation she couldn't anymore.
She picked her luggage from the ground and started walking thinking about what had just happened, tears were falling down her face as she was walking, her hands closing into a fist around the handle of the luggage. The pain was unbearable, her movements were slow and clumsy but with each passing minute they were slower but started getting steady as her knuckles turned white around the handle of her luggage.
She finally reached the nearest shelter home and she made her way inside. As she was walking she heard a voice and stiffened at the words that came out of her mouth.
"Look, she's the girl that was dumped and humiliated on her wedding day!." as soon as she finished her sentence, Naveah turned to look at girl that said it but as soon as she turned a cold liquid was splashed on her face, it took some seconds for her brain to process it was water and then she saw another girl having a phone in her hand laughing and mocking her. She then sent the video to the school forum with the caption "BACK TO THE DUMPSTER AFTER BEING DUMPED BY THE HOTTEST GUY!!."
After this, Naveah was kicked out of there too and now she really had nowhere to go. It was nightfall and she didn't know where to go.
Sitting on the pavement, she went through her contacts in her phone and then her eyes landed on the business card of the mysterious man and she started battling with her inner self if she should call him or not. She then concluded that he's the best option now since she doesn't have any other option.
She took the business card and dialed the number on her phone. After two rings the person picked the call and male voice could be heard from the other side of the line
"Yes?!." The man said.
"Uh-ummm…" she stammered, "I-I…need your help… p-please" she finally managed to finish her sentence.
"Where are you?. My driver will pick you up!" He said and hung up.
She sent him her location and a few minutes later a luxurious shiny black car stopped in front of her. The driver got out of the car. He was an elderly man, in his late years, wrinkles could be seen all over his face, with his gray hair.
"Miss!?.. please follow us" he said while holding the car door, she hesitated at first but her phone rang and it was him again
"Follow him." He said and with that he hung up again. She then made her way to the car. As she sat in the car, the driver closed the door and took her luggage to the back of the car. He then got in too and they drove off.
They reached the posh area of the city. Naveah was mesmerized by the view. Huge houses could be seen and the next one was more elegant than the previous one.
They finally stopped in front of one of those estates but this one was the most beautiful of all of them.
As the black iron gates opened, the Manor's elegance unfolded. The winding driveway, lined with cypress trees and lanterns, led past a manicured lawn, lavender, and rosemary, accompanied by a gentle stream. Ancient olive trees shaded a discreet parking area.
A hidden wind chime chimed softly, while a delicate silver seashell doorbell beckoned.
As they were entering, two rows of bodyguards greeted her as they made their way to the parking lot. The driver lets her out and when she's out the head butler bows.
"Master is waiting for you, Miss,." he says and gestures to her to follow him.
As they passed through the main door, the living area was even more eye-catching, breathtaking and everything screamed luxury but it was elegant at the same time.
Soft luminescence danced across sleek gray sofas, marble fireplace, and crystal chandelier, bathing the room in opulent serenity.
As they enter, her eyes roam around the room feeling dazzled by the exquisite beauty of this place. And her mind starts wondering, as she gets lost in her thoughts.
"Who on earth is this Man?!" She asks herself.
But she's sure that she won't wait long before finding out who he is.
