Leap OF Fate novel Chapter 10

The bright and warm sunlight touched Serene’s face. She winced with eyes still closed she pulled herself to a sitting position, resting her head on the headboard. Her throat felt dry and her head was like splitting into two. “Ugh, hangover”, she uttered under her breath. She clutched her head and by doing so, she noticed that only a white blanket covered her and was naked underneath.  

Her nakedness jolted her awake and immediately pulled the blanket further up to her neck and wrapped it around her body. Her eyes surveyed the room. The place was not familiar to her at all. It looked like a hotel room. She closed her eyes, shook her head, and opened her eyes again. She looked under the blanket that was wrapped around her body and confirmed that she was indeed naked underneath.  

“Oh Fuck, what happened?” She laboriously tried to recall last night’s events. She clearly remembered that she booked a ride from her app and boarded the car. “What’s going on? Why am I here?” The more she racked her brain for answers, the painful her head became.  

“Ahhh!” She cannot help but let out a small scream from the frustration she felt. 

She was yet to recover from her confusion and frustration when the balcony opened, and a man walked in from it. 

Serene looked at him, stunned. She surveyed the specimen in front of her. He was over six feet tall, slim but firm. His neatly combed hair barely touched and tied at back. His facial features looked cold and imposing. He got piercing eyes, and his nose was straight and his lips were thin and red. He was wearing a navy business suit with a white shirt and a maroon tie. The clothes he wore were well ironed and looked very expensive. 

 “Done ogling?” he smirked at her. 

 “Who are you? Why am I here? What did you do to me?” Serene asked one after the other. 

 “You got in my car last night. You were so drunk, so I brought you here. Don’t worry, I did not touch you. I don’t fuck dead logs,” he answered matter-of-factly and in a somewhat overbearing way.  

“Then why am I undressed?” Serene raised her brow as if to challenge him. 

“I thought you did not want to sleep on your puke. So, I made you feel more comfortable. Anyway, I had your clothes cleaned and are on the chair in the receiving area,” with that he walked towards the door and left.
