chapter 9
As he escorted his associates to the door, he returned to his office, sat down in his armchair and once again began to study the project in detail. He had just staked his entire fortune on this project, and he hoped to regret nothing about this investment, for everything he had worked for all his life was at stake.
Emerging from her sleep after hearing the knocking on the door as if the devil was after this person, Olivia got out of bed and looked to see where she was. Her head hurt, and besides, she was still wearing the clothes she’d worn the day before, the only difference being that she wasn’t… it all came back to her, the evening hadn’t just stopped with her friends, she’d been forced into a gamble, and besides, she’d gambled and… she remembered that mysterious stranger in the vip lounge, she felt shivers run through her body as if that man still had his hands on her. she bit her lip and a big smile stretched her lips? She’d never believed it was true to have an orgasm while making love, as was so often said, but with what she’d been through, she wanted to taste this bodily delight again and again, and especially with this man, but the truth hit her in the face: she was just one more on his hit list, so she was sure he didn’t even remember their evening, and that was perfectly normal since he’d been more concerned with pleasing her. She looked at her bedside table to see if he’d left a note for her, but nothing was there. When she heard the knocking again, she jumped out of bed and when she reached the living room, she went straight to the door, as she couldn’t remember closing it after the man had walked her home, which would mean she’d certainly spent the night with the door open. When she turned the lock, she saw that it was locked, and tried to remember, but her memory was blank. She walked over to the table and found that her phone was there, with its pouch and a key; only one key?
She went to open the door first, as she was going to try and find the second key later. When the door opened, her two friends jumped out at her, all happy even though she was tired.
-Girls, it’s okay, I’m alive, so please don’t crush me.
-and we waited for you but when you didn’t come back, we concluded that it was pretty good on your side so we didn’t wait for you? was it as intense as that?
A big smile spread across her lips. It was so intense that she didn’t have the words to describe it. She was sure she’d be ready to go back to that nightclub if that man ever invited her just for one night like that. It sounded a bit like a cheap date, but for her, she just wanted to enjoy her life, and especially since she’d just discovered this delight of the flesh.
-Tell me everything he did to you, because even your facial features have changed.
She went into the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water, which she took her time drinking because she wasn’t really in the mood to go back into the living room for an interrogation, and besides, she didn’t even know if it was possible to talk about this sort of thing. She was taking the last sip of her drink when Maggie’s voice called out to her, so she huffed and returned to the living room.
-Tell me, girls, did I by any chance leave you a key to my house?
-Yes,” replied Maggie.
-Luckily, I only found one this morning, so I gave you this yesterday at Le Bourget?
-I’ve had one of your keys for two years and you kept two with you, so why are you asking? Did something happen?
She ran her hands through her hair and began to think. If she kept the other two keys to her flat with her and in the morning found only one, that would mean the stranger had certainly taken a key from her, but for what reason? She began to panic, already imagining the worst scenarios of her life.
-Can we find out what’s happening to you, Oli?
-I don’t know, maybe yesterday I spent the best evening of my life with a thug or psychopath, can you believe it? I was supposed to have two keys, but this morning I only found one.
-Wait, how did you get home yesterday?
-I don’t even remember, I fell asleep after what happened and this morning I found myself in my bed and I don’t even know how he knew where I live, you understand.
Her friends glanced at each other with mischievous smiles on their lips, which began to trouble Olivia, she was in a real mess yet all they could do was smile as if they’d burnt something.
-You’re lucky Oli, you just mentioned that it was the most beautiful evening of your life, I imagine you also meant the most beautiful evening of sex of your life. Then this man had the good sense not to abandon you in that vip lounge, he went out of his way to get you home then, he just took a key to lock the door from the outside so you’d be safe.
She hadn’t thought of it like that at all, but still, she didn’t feel safe knowing her key was in the hands of a stranger.
-Now will you tell us about your exploits?
-I’m going to take a shower first, girls.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
She didn’t give them time to reply and huffed and puffed her way to her room. She didn’t recognize herself anymore because of that smile that never left her lips.
