Once, my paranoid love

I took a deep breath and thought, ‘It is the best time to ask him about the incident.’ So as I thought, I looked at Ron and asked, “Ron, what is going on?”

Ron took a sip and gave me a sidelong glance while saying, “What do you mean by it?”

“I know you understand what I mean.” I said as I arched my brows.

He raised his eyebrows and said in a startled tone, “Oh, do you mean about the morning incident?”

I gave him a harsh look; it seemed Ron was playing with me. He tilted his head and replied, “Elena, I don’t want to explain here. I tried to, but you did not try to hear me. So, forget it. Enjoy the night.”

I narrowed my eyes and was about to say something, but I spotted Eva coming toward us. I moved my gaze from him and looked at the drinks.

“Let’s start with a drink, Elena.” As Eva came and sat next to me, she said it with a smile. I tried to smile and drank my drink as I stared at her.

Ron was next to them. He gave them a sly grin and concentrated on his drink. He thought, ‘Believe me, after this drink, you won’t recall what you are going to do.’

“Let’s go,” I said when we finished our drinks. Eva grabbed my hand as we stood up.

“Elena, why are you in such a hurry?” Eva said as she arched her brows.

“Eva,” I said as I turned my gaze to her. But suddenly I felt my head become heavy, as well as my eyes. Everything started getting dizzy. I looked at Eva, but she started becoming blurry.

‘What is happening with me? I know I am not good with alcohol, but I just took one shot. I am sweating a lot. Does it mean there is something in the drinks? Am I being drugged?’ I thought as I grabbed Eva’s hands.

“Elena,” I heard Eva’s voice.

“Elena, what happens to you?” Eva said.

“Are you all OK, Elena?” Eva asked about my whereabouts.

“No,” I said with a nod, “I’m not in the best of health. I’m only…” I felt dizzy and lost consciousness before I could finish my sentence. I was going to take her in my arms, but I plopped. I felt like I plopped on something hard and then spotted Ron’s blurry face in front of me. After that, everything became black.

Elena leaned on Ron’s shoulder, and Ron did not miss the chance. He held her in his arms, and when she lost control, Ron picked her up in his arms.

“Oh, My God, what happened to her? Ron, what should we do now?” Eva started panicking. If something happened to Elena, she would never forgive herself. She should not have ordered the drinks.

Seeing Eva panic, Ron said, “Relax, Eva. Maybe it is for the drink. If she takes a bit of rest, she will be fine again.”

“I shouldn’t have forced her to stay,” Eva said with teary eyes.

“Oh, Eva, stop it.” Suddenly, Ron spoke in an irritating tone. Eva was a bit surprised to see Ron’s behavior. It was her first time seeing Ron that way. But Eva thought he might be nervous like her, which was why he behaved rudely with her.

Then Ron started walking to the second floor, and Eva followed him. Ron went into a room. As Eva entered, she looked around. The room was a haven of romance, with soft, dimmed lights that twinkled like stars, casting a warm glow over the room. A canopy bed draped in flowing, sheer fabric created an intimate atmosphere. Scatter rose petals artfully across the floor, leading to a heart-shaped arrangement on a table adorned with scented candles. Champagne on ice awaits, accompanied by delectable chocolate-dipped strawberries.

Eva became shocked to see everything; she could not understand why everything seemed to be for a couple. She moved her gaze to Ron. Ron put Elena on the bed so lightly. Then he turned back to Eva. Eva crossed her arms and asked, “R… Ron, what is it?”

Ron looked at Eva for some minutes and approached her while saying, “Sorry, love, actually I booked this room for us, but this happened… I am so sorry.”

Eva tried to manage herself while saying, “Oh, no, why are you saying sorry? It’s not your fault; actually, I…”

“You?” Ron asked.

“Ah, No, nothing.” Eva tried to smile. But for a moment, she thought Ron had his eyes on her friend. The way Ron took Elena in his arms and put her on the bed seemed so romantic.

Ron smiled at Eva and said, “But don’t worry. We have an option, love.”

“What?” Eva became surprised.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“Yes, let her stay a bit, and we should go to another room,” Ron said.

“Ron…” Eva widened her eyes and added, “It’s not possible. What if Elena wakes up?”

“Babe, Elena is not a six-year-old child. Let her be. We should go to enjoy ourselves.” Ron said. Eva could not say anything after hearing him. Ron took her silence as a yes and then walked out of the room. Ron halted in front of room number 304, and Elena was in room number 300. Before entering, Eva glanced back at room number 300.

Ron exhaled a sigh and started unbuttoning his shirt. Eva looked at him with a nervous face. At that moment, she was only thinking about Elena. But suddenly she became shocked as she felt Ron’s hands on her shoulders.

“What happened? Are you not feeling well?” Ron asked.

“No, actually, I was thinking about Elena,” Eva said. “It was like… We also drank, but nothing happened to us; then why did she become like that?”

Ron narrowed his eyes. He thought Eva was so naive, but it seemed he was wrong; Eva was smart as well. The bartender was his man; he gave the bartender some money to put drugs in Elena’s drink. Ron moved his gaze to the door while thinking, ‘Maybe the drugs have already started showing their effect. I should leave this stupid girl and go to Elena, or else who knows what will happen?’

“Maybe her tolerance level is so bad,” Ron answered unmindfully.

Eva took a deep breath, and then she put her hand around Ron’s neck while saying, “Okay, then let’s forget it. I hope she will be okay after some minutes.”

Ron smiled and loosened her grip while saying, “Yes, I hope so.”

Eva put on a smile, but with a puzzled face. She made a first approach, but Ron loosened her grips. She asked, “What happened?”

Ron tightened his lips and said, “You should go wash up first.”

“Oh, I… I get it.” Eva stammered with a shy face. It was embarrassing; she should think about it. She quickly said, “You can wait here. I will take a shower.” As she said, she did not wait there for a second and dashed to the bathroom.

Ron rolled his eyes and picked up his phone. “Hey, come.” Ron called his friend to come to his room.

He did not wait for his friend and walked out of the room. He was in such a hurry to see Elena. Ron opened the door and entered. He spotted Elena panting. The AC was on, but still, her face turned red. She looked so tempting.

Ron smiled at Elena while thinking, ‘As if I give a damn! I simply acquire what I desire.’

Ron turned his gaze to Elena’s lovely face. He ran his fingertips across her luscious lips. “I’m dying to slurp it up, baby. Your body is changing in response to the state. Elena, your entire body is on fire.” Ron murmured.

“Umm,” Elena muttered seductively as she clutched Ron’s arm tightly when she felt warmth. Her movements were seductive, even though Ron knew she wasn’t herself.

I slowly opened my eyes. I felt something burning inside me. I was craving for something. I could understand why I was drugged and who did that. The drug was so powerful that I could feel my wetness. All of a sudden, I felt warmth on my lips.

I turned my head to that side and spotted Ron in front of me. I knew at that moment what was going to happen. I pressed my lips together and bit my bottom lip to control myself. At that moment, I thought about Paul. What if he came and saved me? But was that possible? How would I reach him?

“Ron,” I said as I tried to raise my head.

“Oh, you recognize me.” Ron replied with a grin. I arched my brows and said, “What did you do?”

“Where is Eva?” I added amid the sweltering temperatures.

Ron smiled at me and suddenly picked me up and put me on his lap. I was struggling to move, but his smell was making me weaker. I was fighting with myself. My inner self became wild to feel his touch, but my mind was still under my control. I was fighting against myself.
