chapter 11. The mysterious stranger.

Two years ago, the memories still seemed to be hazy to her. Violet accompanied Sandra to a party organized by her friends and the latter had insisted on her coming.

Ordinarily Violet would not have escorted her but she did it out of kindness. She had been afraid of the lingering eyes of the men on her but the fearless Sandra swayed her hips from side to side and went about greeting men who in turn squeezed her behind and she giggled naughtily.

The smoky-eyed queen of the dance floor twisted and winded her waist to the rhythm of the music. The guys cheered her and the boldest guy ground her on that dance floor.

She dragged Violet along and introduced her to the men around her but violet had felt disgusted with her actions that night. Sandra had forced her to gulp down some glasses of alcohol. Violet couldn't keep her alcohol so she swayed as she headed to the washroom.

A tall and burly-looking guy who had been keeping his eyes on her ever since she arrived followed her closely. Suddenly a stranger dashed out from nowhere and grabbed Violet by the waist. A punch from the stranger silenced the other party who might have raised an alarm.

The stranger's skin was searingly hot and when he felt Violet's cold and supple skin his throat felt more parched. He hungrily kissed her and the light-headed lady responded sloppily while running her hands clumsily all over him.

Sandra happened to see this beautiful view and took a video and photo of the sandwiched duo. The stranger couldn't hold it anymore, his veins were pulsating so fast and felt like they would burst any moment from then.

Getting a suite for himself was not a problem, he took Violet into his arms and raced to the nearby elevator. Back in the room, he shredded her clothes and had her again and again till dawn. The exhausted duo slept off but close to the morning, Violet's biological clock woke her up and she panicked when she felt severe pain in her nether region.

The shower was running by that time and she was sure the culprit was in there. She didn't want to see him so she bound herself with the pieces of her shredded dress.

Just then, she saw a neat and folded gown, she immediately took it and wore it. Dashing out of the door stealthily, she heaved a sigh of relief but her worst nightmare was right before her.

Sandra was smirking at the startled Violet.

"I hope you enjoyed every bit of it, you slut", She took in the gown she wore and she recognized it as a rare brand. Envy erupted within her and she whacked her across the face. What big fish had she hooked up with?

The searing pain made a pool of tears gather in Violet's eyes. She was the one in pain, how did she end up getting slapped?

" How much did he give you?" Sandra's eyes looked fierce.

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't even try to feign ignorance, I hate it".

" The guy in question forced himself on me".

"Oh really? Should I show you how clingy you were?"

Violet's face went pale went she saw the photos and recognized the clothes she wore. The stranger's back view was only seen but Violet wanton's facial expression was vividly captured. She left Sandra and entered the nearest elevator, the splitting headache was too much.

The stranger had finished showering and found the bed empty. He wasn't afraid of being sabotaged because the woman he had the night before was drunk and careless so he was sure he wasn't set up.

The drink he had the previous night had been tampered with else he would never have given his first time to a strange woman.

He has more important issues to handle than to go after an unknown woman.

Three weeks after the incident, Violet noticed that her body had changed drastically.

She would feel tired unnecessarily and would sleep off at any given opportunity.

Violet realized that she was two months late for her monthly period.

She had no choice but to blame herself for her naivety and carelessness. Violet's pregnancy was discovered when she fainted in the dining area just after the stressful preparation of dinner.

She would never imagine that after a tedious ten months of pregnancy, she would wake up from unconsciousness only to be told that her newborns' didn't have a heartbeat and they were sent to the children's morgue.

Wait, did they say she had twins? Like two kids? A boy and girl? Torrents of tears gushed out and she slipped into unconsciousness again.

Violet was tapped and she jolted back to reality.

"Madam, we are through".

" Oh", she simply said and the men waited for her to make a move first. The maids she made friends with stood at the sides and subtly waved at her. She hugged them all, she had spent more than a decade of her life with them.

Sandra couldn't wrap her head around what was happening, the tall-looking men carried the properties out as If they weighed nothing.

Violet entered the posh-looking car behind the van and the men drove away.

Settling down in her new house was so easy for her because the men helped her to arrange her properties. She climbed the bed and bounced around as she whipped out her phone and dialled Lucas' number.

The call connected but he did not pick up. She tried several more times and later took some cute photos of herself in different parts of the house and sent them to Lucas.

Lizzy informed her that she has a visitor waiting for her. She squealed like a manic on receiving a package which happened to be a tablet phone. The way the restaurant treated her was too good to be real.

Her head went bang, the phone happened to be the one she had always wanted. It was customized to her name.

"Freaking Wow!", she went berserk with joy.

The tired-looking Lucas dragged his feet to where he kept his phone, pulling off the coat he slumped onto a chair.

Holy moly! He had missed several calls from Violet. He was too busy trying to figure out the best method for biogas production. He had barely a week left for the conference. His assistant in the laboratory set a cup of hot coffee before him and retreated to the side.

Glancing at him casually, the latter shuddered. The red-eyed boss dragged his body to his apartment provided for him within the research centre. Taking a shower, he felt refreshed and took up his phone again. He felt like calling her but the time difference....

Lucas glanced at the notification bar and found out that he almost missed her photos.

Her photos in the yellow bikini had his eyes glued to the phone's screen. Lucas almost licked the phone screen. He would make sure she doesn't wear this outside her home, he relaxed and spread out on the bed as he flipped through the photos. Did she know that every move of hers was so seductive? A mere twirling of hair got his nether region raging furiously. He took a look at his pointed sword and shook his head.

Darned! She will be the death of him. Transferring the photos to his safe cloud, he took a cold bath, switched off the light and slept off.

Violet woke up just at the exact time her biological clock ticked 5 am.

" Morning Violet, the time is 5 am".

She was startled because she hadn't gotten used to the new environment.

"Okay......."

"You can sleep back when once it's six o'clock I will wake you up", Lizzy's automated voice announced.

Her groggy voice groaned and she slept off.

A certain inconspicuous dark screened ordinary-looking car had taken cover under the darkness of the dawn not too far away from Violet's Penthouse.

Violet strolled into her walk-in closet after taking a shower and her mouth went agape. The sight was mesmerizing and she was at a loss on what to choose. The clothes were all from a brand she neither knew nor recognized. The closet had been set up as per Lucas's instruction the day she parked in.

After much deliberation, she settled for a turquoise blue lacy body-hugging gown which was not too tight on her. She twirled around and was satisfied with her reflection.

The make-up section made her choke on her spittle. It was the latest collection from Goldberg cosmetics which had just been purchased by Clayton's group of industries.

After applying simple makeup, she picked up a matching clutch bag and took some photos of different funny poses and sent them to Lucas. Violet checked her phone for the umpteenth time, she was disappointed because he had not called her.

Her official car was waiting for her at the entrance, immediately she drove out the other car followed her closely. She went through her phone just to familiarize herself with it unknown to her the danger behind her. The driver's hawk-like eyes noticed it and took a different route thereby losing the other car behind them.

Sandra took off her dark glasses and hit the headrest of the driver's seat.

" We lost them, now what are you going to do?"

"I'm sorry Madam".

"That apology will not solve the problem at hand. Where is her current place of work?"

A few minutes later, she got the information she needed.

Due to the shortcuts, they used just to get away from Sandra, they ended up spending an extra ten minutes on their journey. The car parked at her reserved parking lot and she stepped out of the car.

Sandra had arrived earlier than Violet, the entire stunning view of Violet was right in front of her.

Her glossy lips and the gown were so eye-catching that she forgot to close her mouth.

Who is the man sponsoring her? The penthouse? The car? The clothes?

She pinched her wrist and the pain woke her up.

This can't be true, How did she allow her to escape from her clutches? She is too eye-catching and she was afraid of the calibre of men she would attract. What if she grabs the biggest thigh and she Sandra ends up suffering?

She would make sure she is dismissed from working here. Also, the man currently sponsoring her must see her for who she is.......She must go back to the attic because that is where she belongs.....

A significant smile graced her lips.

"Get me the information about the man sponsoring that slut", her gaze hardened and the driver bobbed frantically.

" You are so useless", she mumbled and groaned.
