PROLUSION
I drunk too much last night that causes my severe headache now. I regretted drinking much but still, I love liquor.
I slowly get up and examine the sorroundings. Still confused of where am I right now until I saw a man sitting in the black couch staring darkly at me.
I blinked many times and once again look the sorroundings. Messy is not enough word to describe it. Littered with pillows, bottles of wine, broken glass, upside down chairs with more food thrown on the side. I'm the only one here now aside from the man still sitting in front of me. I slowly stood up on the floor I was laying on and almost fell over from the dizziness.
I remember my friend just invited me here last night, he said we were going to a party with his friend Amber. I don't know where they are now and why they left me here alone. I swallowed and shyly smiled at the man.
"Uhmm. Do you know where the exit is? I'm going home and ..." I sniffed myself and scrunch my nose because of the unpleasant smell. "I also need to take a bath because I stink, hehe." I simply arranged my messy brown and curly hair, as well as my short blouse that showed my navel when I raised both my hands, and I paired it with a short black skirt with a cut on the side.
"Do you know what you entered miss? Tresspassing is what you did last night."
I looked at him frowning. "Me? Tresspassing? Are you crazy? I was invited here last night! My friend have a friend and that owned this big mansion!" I said loudly to him. I can't believe on what he sayin'
He was staring at me blankly, his face was just serious without any emotions can see. He stood up and I backed away a little because he was so big and tall. He wears a black fitted v neck shirt and his muscles are visibles in my eyes. I looked away when he caught me checking him out.
"Who is your friend that you're talking about?" he asked.
"My friend friend's name is Amber," I said to him.
"To my knowledge there is no Amber living here."
"Huh? How come Amber don't own this mansion?" confused I told him. What is this man saying?
"I am the owner of this mansion. You and your friends are the one who trespassed here." he said.
Still in shock I can't think straight. I couldn't even stop my mouth from just talking.
"Why? Do you have any evidence? That you are the sole owner of this mansion?" I shout at him.
"Yes. I have a proof miss. My lawyer will come here in a minute so don't go somewhere else for now." he said.
"W-what? A lawyer? For what?"
"We're going to talk about you, being jailed."
I blink my eyes a lot of time and look at him in disbelief.
Is he stupid? Imprisoned? Who?! ME?!
No fucking way! I will not let him do that to me. And who does he think he is? From the way he dressed, I knew he is rich but that was still not enough reason for him to imprison me!
"You can't do that to me, mister! Me? Going to prison? How dare you!"
"Then be my guest. You can change your shirt upstairs, my butler will accompany you there." as he said that, there's a guy that suddenly pop up in my side.
"Wait, what? Why would I follow you? Who the hell are you to order me around?"
He just stared at me and signal his butler to take me away.
"Let's go, young lady. I will guide you to one of the guest rooms here."
I glared the man one last time before following his butler. We go upstairs, using of course the stairs. But it is not an ordinary staircase. It looks like a stairs to go up in heaven. Too many steps to take!
After so many minutes, the butler drop me infront of a big beige door.
"Go in, young lady. All the things you needed are already inside." he step back and go.
I shrug my shoulders and open the door. The guest room is super big! It is also beige color with a light touch of green. There is a two doors in my right, I bet that is the restroom and the walk-in closet. In my left side there's a king size bed, beside of it is a small table with a lampshade in it. There is also an standing aircon. Infront of me is the up to ceiling window. I can see the beautiful view on the outside. The pine trees that scattered, also the colorful flowers. I can also see the two fountains from here.
I proceed to take go inside the bathroom. If the room outside is already spacious, it doubled in the bathroom. It's extravagance, luxurious and beautiful. I'm afraid to touch the things here, I'm scared to hold on and I might break it, I might be also charged knowing that man downstairs. The equipment here still looks very expensive. Maybe even the water is expensive.
I took off my dirty clothes and enter the shower. As I meet the water, it calms me. I love the feeling of cold shower. I showered for atleast 30 minutes before going out. I use the bathrobe and go inside the walk-in closet. I see a lot of different clothes hanging and fold inside. There's a lot of shoes, sandals etc. I open every cabient to find underwears. I don't like to walk around without wearing one. As soon as I found one I wear it then proceed to find the clothes that will suit my taste and mood. I pick a black fitted dress and wore it. I also pick a black high heels. I go back in the room and arranged my beautiful curl brown hair.
I also put a red lipstick that I saw in the vanity table. After that I check myself in the mirror and admire my beauty in there. After admiring it, I go downstairs.
"You're done?" he asked.
I rolled my eyes of him and answered. "Obviously, mister."
"Hmmm. Pulchritudinous." he said as he checking me out.
"Pardon?"
"Nothing. Now, your done. Meet my lawyer, Attorney Rodrigo." he said. I look the man beside him. I think he is in his mid-thirthies. He's handsome, by the way.
I just raise my eyebrow and crossed my arms as I watch them.
"And, Attorney this is the woman I wanted to sue for tresspassing."
"What? Are you seriously doing that?" I reacted.
"Yes, I am." he said firmly at me.
"Please be sitted first before we discuss it." The lawyer said. I rolled my eyes at them and I walked briskly onto a black couch. I can't believe that man!
I am not tresspassing here! My friend just invite to party here last night! Why am I the only one to sent inside the jail? Is it my fault the I have fun partying here? Its a full blast last night and I also love making out with different guys.
Even if I don't want to follow them and I don't want to get sued, I still follow because I'm obidient! And also, I can't say no! Even to strangers I can't say no, even if I find it super uncomfortable.
They sit infront of me, in the middle there's a brown square table and the lawyer put his things top of it.
"Okay, let's talk what happened here last night." The lawyer speak and look at me.
"Amber, who is the owner of this mansion hosted a party here last night." I said.
The man and the lawyer look each other.
"Amber is not the owner of this mansion, miss. And also, how are you related to Amber?"
"He is a friend of my friend." I answered honestly.
"Okay, this friend of yours, did you know that they are using drugs?"
I stunned from my seat. "Using what? A drugs? The fucking illegal drugs?" I asked, and he nod. "Are you fucking kidding me? They are a good guys! They will not do that!"
No way in hell they're gonna use some illegal drugs!
"Sorry but they are. We conduct a test and they are positive. Also we found a sachet of different kinds of illegal drugs."
I'm still processing of what he said. No, my friends cannot do that! Both Tommy and Amber raised with a good and loving family! They woudn't break the trust that they family given to them!
Clearing throat. "So, we will going to conduct a test for you too, to see if you're also using it."
I nod to them. "Of course! And also I'm not using any illegal or what drugs you're talking about."
The lawyer nodded. "And for the tresspassing, the owner will still charged you."
I gaped and look the man beside him. "Seriously? I'm innocent here! I didn't know who is the real owner of this big mansion!"
The lawyer handed me a papers. I read all the details inside of it, and close my eyes.
"I didn't know, okay? I just got invited here last night!"
I didn't know that Amber is not the real owner of this mansion. Because, Amber and his family is wealthy, they owned a lot of mansion same as Tommy. That's why I didn't question them last night!
I close my eyes tightly and sighed.
"I can still bail, right?" I ask.
"Yes. If you only pay five-hundred million dollars."
I open my eyes abruptly and look at him disbelief. "Five-hundred million dollars?? What the hell? Where the hell am I gonna find that big money?" I said. "And its only tresspassing, it didn't cost that much you know?"
"If you can't pay, there is another option." The man butted in.
"And what is that?" I ask him raising one of my eyebrow.
"Marry me."
