CHAPTER 1
"Thea come down now and make breakfast," oh no she had overslept again.She woke up and groogily made her way down stairs,"good morning mother"
"You arrogant fool can't you do anything right your sister will wake up soon hurry up and prepare something nice ,today your sister is starting her second semester at Emperal University.,"
Thea was stunned that was also the University she was studying at and only those who pass the entrance exam get to go there and Tessa did not have that kind of intelligence.Knowing her parents they must have pulled some strings.
"Uh mom,". "What.""what course is Tessa taking."Mrs Richards could not see what was wrong so she replied casually,"the same one as you."
"I see ,l will heard to the kitchen now."Thea walked to the kitchen with a calculating expression something was wrong somewhere
After cooking some french toast with bacon and fresh orange juice she finally breathed a sign of relief.Tessa then walked down the stairs majestically and seeing that fool of a girl setting up the table she felt happy she was going to use her and take everything she had starting by her parents.
"Mom good morning"
Mrs Richards looked up and saw that her daughter had arrived so she smiled sweetly
"Tess my dear come and sit down for breakfast".
"Okay is dad not joining us,"she said after seeing that someone was missing.
"Well he left early to handle your enrollment procedures for this semester,come and eat you have to arrive early you know."
"Okay let's eat ". Thea who was standing at the side took her seat and poured some juice for herself.Tessa who saw this frowned and tugged at her mom who knew exactly what Tess needed.
"Hey you shameless thing can't you greet your sister."
seeing this Thea looked shocked how could she greet Tessa when she was the oldest by a couple of months so she took a breath and looked at her mom.This woman was her mother but after Tessa came all that seemed to change all the hope she had was lost she had no family any more
The meal started in silence and everyone was quite.
But a sweet voice disturbed the peace.
"Uh sis l heard you also study at Emperal University we might end up in the same class after all we are taking the same course."
Thea looked at her with an excruciating gaze this girl really knew how to act netherless she replied calmly . "Yah it might come to that ."
After breakfast Thea went upstairs to get ready for school immediately after she disappeared from the room Tessa could not help but look at her mother with a questionable gaze , seeing this Mrs Richards coaxed her
"Don't worry we will tell her after school ."
"Mom you know we have to be fast that old man has agreed to fill in the gape in our company's finance if we send her to the hotel tonight."
"Tess l know about the gape we created when we brought out 5 million to get you to that university,we will have to act fast dear."
"Okay I trust you mom l am going to drive to school can l take the red Benz,"
"You know that was the gift l gave Thea on her 17th birthday?"
"But mom l like it mine has been sent to the repair shop pretty please."
"Okay then you know l can't resist those cute eyes."
"Thank you mom l love you and byee"Tessa rushed out to the garage to take the car but when she was going she realized something,she did not have the keys so she rushed back.
"Tess you back what happened?"
"Mom do you have the keys to the car ,"
"No that girl has them.". Hearing this Tessa frowned and headed upstairs to find her.
Meanwhile Thea was tying her hair into a ponytail when the door was kicked open and she knew who it was Tessa.She turned slowly and faced her "Didn't someone teach you to knock when entering someone's room"
Tessa started to laugh as if she had said something funny
"You call this piece of crap a room." Indeed this was nothing compared to the room she once had .She lived in a room that was as large as the dinning room but most of everything she had was given to Tessa.
"At least l have something that is mine and didn't steal it from someone else," surely this hit a sore spot on Tessa , not wanting to be embarrassed further she got straight to the point.
"Mom said to give me the keys to the Benz " she was stunned they really wanted to leave her with nothing "Really , did mom say that or you did."
"Give me the keys you brat"
Thea walked to the dressing table and took out the keys and handed her the keys,as she leaned in grab the keys Tessa whispered in her ear "Don't worry l am not going to take anything from you l will take everything leaving you with nothing not even those cheap clothes you have on," after saying this she left.Thea was at a loss she quickly headed out to catch the bus .
Chapter 2 :The news
Thea arrived at the University campus and looked around at the familiar faces.These people once adored her,she was the most talented young architect in her class with countless admirers but everything changed.As she was about to make her way to the gate she heard a familiar voice the one she could not forget
"Thee !!!! you are hear OMG l can't believe it"
"Nice to see you too Thelma,"
"Oh my bad how have you been,"
"I have been holding on what about you ,"
"I am fine just glad to see you,"
Thea couldn't help but smile to herself the admiration in her eyes was undeniable.Thelma was like a big sister she never had ,she was studying music and had a lovely voice while she also was an actoress the best one at that.l guess you could say a rising star.Back then she used to take some advice from her after all Thelma was two years older than her.
After the greetings they parted ways each going their own way .As she was about to enter the classroom someone tapped her shoulder just as she was turning she was thrown into a warm embrace.
**
~Immediately after hearing that Thea was coming back to school Lila was over joyed and wanted to see her as soon as possible .She and Thea were childhood friends and knew everything about each other and when they came to study the same course they became great friends, you can say BFF'S.
After a long time of embracing each other they finally separated and Thea was glad she thinking that her little friend was going to suffocate her "You little tut did you want to kill me,". she found her self jokingly asking her with tears of joy in her eyes.
"Well l know you like it, oooh how l have missed you. Do you know that my family wanted to send me over seas to study but l refused patiently waiting for you."
Thea knew that the Fisher family were broad just like her family they were all into the architecture industry but they were really rich compared to her family, so she just nodded.
The bell rang and it was time for their morning lecture so they headed to the hall while holding hands.They arrived and took their seats in the second row this was the best seat in the hall and luckily they were here first .
After sitting down they were about to bring out their books when an imposing figure stood before them and before they could say anything the person spoke up
"Hey you two brats stand up this is my seat , as you can see my friend and I want to seat there"
Lila could not help but grit her teeth it was the devil herself, Tessa.She was no stranger she knew everything about Tessa's treatment towards Thea and she could not help but want to stand up for her. "Are you blind can't you see that we were here first" Tessa looked at her with a mocking voice before replying calmly. "I was not talking to you or was l "her gaze moving towards Thea who just started packing her things to leave.Seeing this Lila was furious and wanted to continue arguing but Thea gave her a light nod "Lila it's okay there's still plenty of room let's leave."
Lila did not want to argue so she just stood up and followed Thea and they sat at the back row.Lila could not let it go and looked at Thea who seemed to not care before saying calmly
"you know you can't let her keep on bullying you,we were there first."
"Lee l know but I don't want trouble and Tessa is the queen of trouble so I will choose to avoid her,"
"But Thea how long do you have to endure this if you do not do anything to teach her a lesson she will keep on bullying you."
"I know but there is a time for everything,".
After getting this kind of reply Lila 's mood softened and she could not help but giggle
"l wish I had a heart as forgiving as yours."
"I don't have that kind of heart l am keeping count.". Lila was stunned after all she had never seen that kind of look it was a look of calculating and waiting patiently to strike like a lioness waiting for it's prey . She was relieved to know that her friend was not easy to bully.
The lecture ended smoothly and the two girls walked out hand in hand
They were headed to the cafeteria Thea's phone rang , she looked at the name displayed and frowned before answering the call.
As soon as she picked up the call Mrs
Richards voice came through the phone
"Come to Sky Hotel now put on that dress l bought for you last year and meet me and your father at 6pm."
"But mom l can't l am at school ,"
"No buts you don't have any lectures plus this is a family gathering there will be a special guest."
"Okay I understand l will be there," she said a few words then turned to look at Lila beside her with an apologetic look which seemed to say l am sorry.Lila however heard everything Mrs Richards said for her voice was loud "Just go otherwise she will get mad if you don't arrive in time"
"Thanks for understanding byeee see you tomorrow,"Thea then rushed out leaving Lila standing alone
**Note that all names and places are my pure imagination and if some places exist it's a coincidence.Resembalance to anyone is also a coincidence.....
After leaving she headed home and changed into a baby pink evening gown then headed to the hotel.
Chapter 3: Such awful news is not meant for my ears
As she entered she saw her father and mother sitting near the corner,beside them was a bald man who was fat and greasy laughing disgustingly.
She walked up and stood in front of her parents, she was going to play along with them for she knew that they were up to something so she cleared her throat and spoke in a sweet voice
"Good evening mom and dad,". Mrs Richards turned to her "Great you're here sit down." After sitting down she did not even glance at the man in front of her completely ignoring him .
Seeing this Mr Richards was displeased and spoke in a low voice "Aaah Thea this is Mr Gerald greet him ."
Thea opened her mouth slowly"How are you grandpa,". The words grandpa were emphasized.Mr Gerald could sense the morckry in her words.
"Little girl you can call me Gerald l am only a few years older than your father there's no need for that". Thea frowned could this man have any shame"But grandpa Gerald l can't you are an elder so I will address you as such,". .... Upon hearing this he frowned this little brat was going to be a problem .
They ordered their meal as they were about to eat Tessa rushed in holding a bottle of champagne.
She looked at the scene were The old man was sitting in front of Thea , she was going to send that girl to her grave. "sorry that l am late l had some issues to attend to so l just brought this champagne.". Mrs Richards was amazed by how thoughtful her daughter was so she received the champagne from Tessa.
Gerald could nolonger hold on so he went straight to the point "Okay let's get down to busy shall we,". Mr Richards knew they had delayed enough so he decided to tell Thea "That's fair enough. Thea today we are here to allow Mr Gerald to propose to you,he said he is very interested in you so...." Gerald quickly got on his knees and opened a box which seemed to have a ring inside.
Thea was shocked this was disgusting even everyone in the hotel was dumbfounded.An old bald man on one knee in front of a young girl. Sure enough everyone started murmuring "that girl is shameless how could she marry an older man."
"Yah it's disgusting". People began to curse at her.
" I bet it's because he has a lot of money "
Thea was at a loss she felt embarrassed while Tessa looked calm and was celebrating she was finally going to finish her off.
"Thea will you do me the owner of being my wife,"
She took a deep breath before saying every word slowly "Grandpa Gerald what are you doing, you know l am young and capable how can I marry a man as old as you l am sorry but l refuse." The word refuse was said out loud enough that everyone that heard this they clapped hands their earlier hatred fading.
Mrs Richards was now mesmerized by the situation so she turned to Tessa asking for the way forward.Tessa looked at the man who was still kneeling and cleared her voice and spoke up "Mr Gerald stand up we can solve this my sister is not in her right sense of mind so for now let's drink some champagne." She took the champagne bottle and opened it up then poured some for everyone, no one noticed that when she poured Thea's glass she added some white powder to the drink.Everyone took their glasses "Cheers to the future,"
Thea took a sip but she could not help but sense that something was wrong with the drink . Mr Richards and Mrs Richards exchanged a knowing glance then signaled for Tessa to complete the plan. "Sis can please go to room 326 and get my bag there's a present that l had prepared," Thea wondered what kind of present Tessa had prepared she knew it was not a good thing and wanted to refuse but with the glance she received from her father she reculantly agreed "okay I will be back."she stood up and left.
After her figure disappeared Tessa glanced at Mr Gerald who seemed unaware of the situation and smirked "Sir this is the time you need to go to room 326 as well and take advantage of Thea l have drugged her so she will not be able to resist and after that she can't refuse your marriage proposal.". The old man thought for a second before replying with one word "Okay," these people were really wicked they even drugged their own daughter but he did not care all he wanted was that girls body she really had a good figure.With that he stood up and left.

Meanwhile Thea located the room and took the key card then opened the door. She searched everywhere for the bag but there was no bag .
She was about to leave when someone walked in ,she was scared what was happ

Chapter 4: The knight saved the damsel in destress
Meanwhile Thea located the room and took the key card then opened the door. She searched everywhere for the bag but there was no bag .
She was about to leave when someone walked in ,she was scared what was happening "Gra-and paaa Ge -gerald what are you doing here," instead of answering he started to remove his belt slowly.Thea did not know what to do this man was now different from before he looked like a beast waiting to devour her , he was already drooling .
Thea wanted to act fast but she felt her body go numb and her head was spinning , she was no fool these were the symptoms of being drugged could it be that Tessa had drugged her .What could she do know she could nolonger move and the man in front of her was out of his mind.No she will not end up a victim of sexual abuse .Thea stood up with great effort then reached out to a bottle of whiskey at the side drawer. Gerald was getting more excited and was about to grab the little girl when he felt dizzy .Thea had used all the strength she had left to hit his head using the bottle of whiskey.
Gerald tried to get close but all was in vain he fell down and fainted. Thea looked down at him with a grim expression and tried to stand up but then Gerald's phone that had fallen out began to ring. She glanced at the name displayed on the screen. It was likely that Tessa was calling to know if the old man had succeed . With this thought in mind Thea knew she could not be seen in the room otherwise they would try to force her .She tried to stand up but the drug was taking effect so she could only crawl her way out of the room.She managed to get out and soon she was at the hotel corridor.After taking a deep breath she heard voices these voices belonged to the people she could never forget.
"Mom hurry up let's go take photos so that she will not be able to deny anything"
"Yes dear let's go"
Thea's heart could not help but tighten was her fate going to end like this.Just as she was lost in thought she heard a deep husky voice speaking to her ,"Miss get out of the way,". This man was cold he gave off a chilling aura the one that noone could resist and besides he was just too handsome how could God create such a being.It was truly unfair to other men his body was like that of a Roman God ,his face was like an artwork not to mention his tailored Italian suit wich fit him perfectly.Thea found herself drooling and before she could get enough of looking at such a rare sight she felt someone pulling her out of the way.
It seemed like this man had ordered one of the people in black to throw her out of the way and he himself was already walking away.
Before anyone could get the chance she threw herself at the man and hugged him from the back.She could not think of anything else and was shocked were she got the strength from.
This seemed rude but what could she do this man was the only one who could help her .He seemed to hold a lot of power with five to ten bodyguards following behind him maybe he could save her .
With the little strength left she muttered two words. "Save me,". And with that she fainted in his arms...

Chapter 5: The little delicate flower
The bodyguards were stunned noone clinged to their boss like that and live to tell the story,this woman was looking for death.
Although she was pretty everyone knew that the great business tycoon in architectural design disliked women and rarely came in to contact with any woman. His business partners were mostly males and for those who worked under him he would make an exception if the person was truly talented.
Shawn on the other hand looked displeased no woman had ever had the audacity to look at him talk more of fainting in his arms. He did not know if he should throw her away or help her , he was never this lenient with anyone but this girl seemed to have an aura that drawed him in.
Looking at the girl in his arms she looked like an angel and it's been long since he saw himself drawn to a woman's face of cause he had seen many beautiful ladies but there was something different about her.
He looked at her dress that was a bit revealing,it seemed she had been running from someone.From the looks of things it seemed like she had been drugged her body was hot and cheeks were red it did not seem to be a good situation the drug was too much.
Shawn turned to his assistant Maxwell Pierce. "Book a room and prepare for a doctor to come and check up on this lady,"
After hearing the cold voice from his boss Assistant Maxwell did not dare to delay and immediately handled everything
"Yes Mr Griffin l have already booked the presidental suit on the first floor and doctor Thompson is on his way,". Hearing this Shawn walked towards the room with the little petite woman.
After entering the room he gently placed the girl on the king sized bed.He couldn't help but wonder why he had helped her, maybe this girl was special. Just as Shawn was occupied with his thoughts the door was kicked open, "what in the world,"
"Oh Shawn you want to complain if you knew anything about privacy you wouldn't call me out in the middle of the night,"
Ignoring his earlier comment he turned to the girl on the bed ,"just keep quiet and get to work "
Dr Jack Thompson was feeling very conflicted it was not the first time Shawn was calling him out in the middle of something.Today he was going to get revenge, with that in mind he turned to the girl.He went over and touched her forehead she was really burning up.
After a closer inspection he got his analysis..
"It turns out that she has been drugged,"
"Well I know that can you tell me something else,"
"If you knew then why did you call me out,"Shawn was already loosing his patience "Dr Jack Thompson do you still want to keep your job," seeing that Shawn was angry Jack decided to drop the argument.
"The drug that was used on her is called black spider and is truly deadly if not taken care of," "Okay then , what must be done to reduce the effects."
Shocked Jack found himself asking the question that was on his mind "Mr Griffin is this girl so important to you" he asked sarcastically. Shawn was already getting annoyed so he spoke in a deep husky voice that could make anyone drop to their knees "Get to the point,"
This guy was always so cold and did not associate with any woman this petite girl was likely the first so he would definitely help him have a good time ,after all this was a rare opportunity.
"There's nothing we can do"
"What?!!!"
"I said there's nothing we can do for her the drug is too much,"
"You joking right you're a world renowned doctor if you can't do this then what am l paying you for as my personal doctor haa"
"I l...l .." before he could defend himself Shawn has already said what had to be said.
"If you can't help her then you might as well as look for another job."
Hearing this beads of sweat started to form on his forehead ,wait why was he scared of.Of course Shawn was ruthless he is the richest man and a alpha in the business and architect world but it didn't matter cause he had another plan in mind.
"Well there's another way to cure her from the drug."
"What is it?" Jack was secretly rejoicing tonight he was going to "help " him have fun so he just had to gather up all his courage for the next sentence."you can do some physical exercises _"
"------what " He was at a loss of words how could Jack suggest something like this
"Is there no other way"
"Nop"
"Can't you give her a injection or something"
"No the drug is an international one and the cure would take months to be shipped here by then she would be dead . I am sorry buddy but this is the only way,"
But truly speaking he had the cure stored away at his lab netherless Shawn deserved this.always calling him out in the middle of the night atleast today he would have a lady companion.
"Okay get out" his voice rang out like thunder and Jack took this chance to slip out before he changed his mind.
As he was at the door he saw the number of bodyguards linning up and couldn't help but shake his head these guys were really pitiful they had to stand all day . But today he had done them a huge favour.He then caught sight of Assistant Maxwell Pierce and couldn't help but smile and whispered to him , "Make sure not to disturb your master l bet he is already enjoying himself"
Then he quickly walked away. Assistant Maxwell did not understand and shouted back"Wait Dr Thompson what do you mean," but he was already gone.
Chapter 6 : The girl with the lavender scent with a touch of amber (stuck in the CEOs arms)
*Special chapter***don't miss it
~Meanwhile back in the room Shawn was still contemplating on what to do when a sweet voice rang out.
"Mmmmh mmh he-..elp me . I'm so hot"
The girl on the bed had regained consciousness and was fiddling with her clothes. He took out his phone and called Assistant Maxwell who was outside the door. "Get in the room now"
Hearing his tone Assistant Maxwell did not dare delay and immediately entered the room.
"Young master you called for me,"
"Yes get me another piece of clothing for this girl that is light and get a hotel maid to change her". Maxwell then jacked out of the room to complete his task then hurriedly came back.
"Young master here are the clothes but...."
"Speak "
"All female hotel staff have retreated to their rooms only the male servers are allowed to work during these hours "
"Okay you can go "
"Okay Mr Griffin,"
"Maxwell wait. Dismiss all the guards and go home report to me tomorrow morning,"
"Okay young master,"
After everyone left Shawn's gaze drifted to the girl on the bed he then gently picked her up and walked towards the bathroom.
The scent on the girl seemed to draw him in , her scent was unique not one from perfumes or body spray this one was natural. It was lavender with a touch of amber he could not help but sniff in her scent over and over.
He then placed her in the octave bathtub when she pulled his tie and their faces were two inches away.
Thea did not know what she was doing all she knew was that she could not let go of the warm embrace, she felt safe when she was wrapped in the arms of this unknown figure after all she only saw flashes of his face. But she could tell that the figure before her was quite handsome damn this drug was too strong.
The tap water to the tub then burst open and she couldn't help but shrink, the water was too cold . As she lay in the bath tab she just wanted to find something to hold on to little did she know that she was pulling a human being.
Shawn was still lost in thought so he did not have any time to sturdy himself with that he fell into the bathtub with a huge splash. And before he knew it he was laying on top of the petite woman.
When their gazes met Thea felt like she was swimming in an endless sea just by looking at his eyes.Maybe it was because of the drug that she started to feel hot all over even though she was soaked in water it was likely she was craving for his touch.
She started to touch his face as if soothing a little child then in the next moment she captured his lips in a warm kiss. Shawn was still unfound when did this woman get the strength to suddenly kiss him he wanted to back out but he found himself already engaged in the kiss.
After what felt like an eternity they both let go of each other both of them trying to catch their breath. After the kiss Thea felt like her strength had been drained when she kissed the man she felt complete but know her mind was crowded the drug had now taken full effect.
"Please, help me" she said
Shawn could see the change was this what Jack meant when he said physical exercises.Right now when the girl kissed him it seemed to help relieve the drug. He lifted himself up from the bathtub then carried the girl out and walked towards the bed . She was already shivering and kept on saying three words "Please help me"
He walked to the bathroom and brought out a towel and started to dry out the girl.Thea seeing that the man before her was distracted she turned his face and captured his lips in a kiss , this time the kiss was filled with a needing desire .
Shawn on the other hand was a man of principles and couldn't take advantage of a drugged girl so he pulled out "Behave yourself you don't know what you're doing this will be over soon,"
"Please help me...ee"
Seeing the girl's bright pleading eyes and rosy cheeks he felt sorry by her painful appearance and besides he was also a man.
"Just remember you asked for this" after saying this he pressed the woman beneath him and captured her plump lips into a passionate kiss filled with desire and craving. The kiss was slow as they flowed rythmely with the passion . The atmosphere was now filled with ambiguity and a hot steamy night began.
** You can use your imagination to continue deep in the events of this romantic night ♥️**

Chapter 7: The search...
🌹Why worry about the future when you can live the present.live today without tomorrow,then will tomorrow be brighter 🌟 by kings 👑
~Early in the morning Thea woke and looked at the man beside her.
The events of yesterday's night reoccurred in her mind, ohhh no she had taken advantage of that man.Did she throw herself at him?...,I guess that's what happened.
She had to get up , so she fambled to put on her clothes. She headed to the bathroom and saw that she had a wound on her lips, nxa that man was a real beast even daring to bite her lip . Her mind was in a daze how could she go out now.....?
Without a single thought she looked at the man on the bed and headed out of the hotel room. When she was finally out she realized she could not go back to that prison she calls a home, otherwise Tessa would do anything to send her back to that old man.
She decided to go to a coffee shop at least that would be enough time for school to start . Thea lifted her legs to take a step forward when a sharp pain shot in her lower abdomen.
She winced in pain then continued to walk the events of last night will remain green in her memory, after all it was her first time.
She arrived at the coffee shop and took a seat near the window, then ordered black coffee with pancakes as her breakfast.
~Back at the hotel Shawn later woke up and saw that the person next to him was gone. Instead of getting angry something else caught his eye, a big red stain on the sheets.
Now he knew he had to look for that girl and take responsibility for his actions as a man, he had ruined her innocence.
At the side of the pillow there seemed to be a little light so he lifted the pillow and there a golden pendant lay peacefully. He picked it up and opened it, inside was a picture of a girl with a radiant smile.It was the girl from last night she must have dropped her pendant.
He took his phone from the side drawer and made a call.
" Come to the hotel now" Assistant Maxwell was at a loss of words it was six in the morning and he was already being called out to work. His life was a real mess so he jumped out of bed and replied to his boss
" Yes sir "
" And bring me a new set of clothes" then he hung up.
Shawn stood up and went to take a shower. He had just started drying himself when he heard a knock on the door. " Mr Griffin I am here "
" Put the clothes on the bed "
Maxwell did as he was told then turned around to face the door, who would dare to take a peek at the great alpha of the architect world. Even if he was tying a towel around his waist.
After Shawn was done he walked gracefully and sat on the couch.
" Maxwell did you look into the details of the girl from last night"
" Yes young master " without questions he took out his iPad and handed it to Shawn.
" Mr Griffin you spent the night with is known as Thea Richards. It is said that she went missing a few years ago. When she came back her parents had adopted another child, Tessa Richards"
" I see so what was she doing at the hotel"
" Her parents had drugged her inorder to sell her off to Gerald unfortunately you saved her"
" Okay did you find out were she is studying "
" Emperal University "
" That's a top University "
" Yes Miss Thea is really intelligent she had won many awards before she went missing"
" Maxwell prepare a car we will go to her school right at the moment she leaves "
" Yes Mr Griffin "
" Let's heard to the company make sure to book an appointment with Doctor Thompson "
" Okay CEO "
~ Back at the cafe Thea had just finished her meal and was ready to heard to school. As she arrived at the gate she realized that she was still wearing the pink evening gown . How could she go to school wearing a tone dinner dress no way.
She made her way to Lila's room. It was very simple since Lila stayed at the University campus she would borrow something to wear. She knocked at the door but no one answered so she knocked harder.
" Who dares to interrupt my beauty sleep". said Lila with a mad face.
" Do you want to kill me " said Thea in a calm voice.
" Yes .... or wait that voice " she looked up at the face then stood there like a zombie.
" What you don't want to kill me anymore"
" No way how could I kill my bestie. Just come and stop talking nonsense "
Thea was already laughing her little friend was really stupid.
" Don't worry I was just teasing you I know you love me" she said as she was entering Lila's room.
Lila just giggled then turned to Thea.
" Okay so what made the almighty goddess to bless me with her presence"
The two girls burst into laughter.
" I need something to wear "
" Why ".
" Have you looked at what I am wearing"
Lila then took a closer look at Thea.
" OMG Thee want happened. Why is your dress tone and is that a bite mark on your lips "
" Shhhh keep it down do want to tell the whole school."
" Nop "
" So keep quiet and listen carefully "
Lila looked like a little obidient bunny while Thea narrated her story from the part were the old man proposed, how they dragged her, how she escaped to how she was saved by the handsome man.
She also did not skip the part were she spent the night with the handsome man.
" Oh my God !!!!! Thea did you really spend a night with a handsome dude "
" Yes but don't forget it was because of the drug "
" What's his name "
" I don't know "
" Okay can you describe his looks again "
Thea looked hesitant but looking at Lila's pleading face she gave in.
" Okay okay but this is the last time. His face was so well defined like a painting, with a chiseled jawline, and his body looked like it was crawled out from a book "
Thea had started explaining while making little hand gestures with her hands .
" He walked majestically with ten to fifteen bodyguards then boom he saved me "
Lila laughed so hard that she could laugh no more. The way Thea was explaining was like she was telling a story of how the knight saved the damsel in distress.
" You really know how to tell a story"
" Anything for you"
" But did it really happen exactly like that or "
" Yes I just talked in a mysterious language.
" Woooooow so not only was he handsome but he had bodyguards. He must be rich "
" I don't care I am just glad it was him who saved me not that greasy old man " " yeah you are right "
" Thea so what will you do "
" About what "
" This situation "
" I will think about that later right now we need to get to class . Bring me some clothes while I take a shower "
Lila stood up and opened her wardrobe to look for something Thea would wear but her heart was heavy. How did her friend suffer from such injustice. She was still deep in thought when Thea called out for her.
" Lila bring the clothes"
She walked to the door holding a white bottom and a hoodie with white sneakers. The hoodie was flamingo pink so it was really eye catching.
" What is that Lila"
" Clothes" .
" Are you kidding me right now. You know I don't wear colourful clothes and talk more of bottoms."
" Well this is all I have. I didn't do my laundry this weekend that's why I was planning to go back home today "
" What are you wearing we can swap "
" If you want to wear my pink two piece outfit "
" Hell nooo. It's even more pinkish "
" Then wear what you have"
" Okay. You can take your shower we need to get to class "
" Okay on it "
While Lila went in to bath Thea was wearing her clothes. After some time Lila was done and she was putting on some light make up whilst Thea was making her hair. The two girls finished doing their things just in time and headed down stairs. They walked out of the University's hostel gate towards the central hall where they were going to have their first lesson.
The moment they entered the hall Tessa came running at them fiercely.
