Who drugged me?

I am currently in an unknown room with Miguel, who I thought I would never see again.

Tonight had been quite different, taking to account that I was drugged by someone and Miguel is the one who found me before it was too late.

It seems no matter what I do, bad luck will always follow me. Now I am about to find out from Miguel, who did this to me and I already know the likely candidate.

"Let me guess it was Vicky," I said interrupting Miguel from speaking.

Miguel slowly nodded. "Yeah, that was what she said,"

"She?" I asked, a bit confused. "Someone knew about Vicky's plans? Wait- never mind, it must be one of her lakeys," I said and sighed.

Miguel raised his brow, "I don't think she was though. She looked quite young and was very guilty when she confessed to me." he explained.

'Young?' I thought bewildered.

I frowned and asked him to elaborate how she looked like.

Miguel hummed and stared at the ceiling.

"Well..she had chocolate hair that reached her shoulders, chocolate eyes and olive skin. She was a bit short and had freckles on her cheeks. Do you know her?" he asked when he noticed me go pale.

"L-Lily? She knew about this? No she would never. This doesn't makes sense, does it? B-but how did I get drugged? I didn't eat or drink anything except for my bottle.." I mumbled between my breath.

I suddenly remembered how Lily stared at me as I drank my water.

'H-how could she? What did I do wrong to her? Is this how things always have to be? Do I always have to be betrayed!' I thought in anguish and clenched my fists.

Miguel watched me without a word, his expression unreadable.

"What? Got something to say?" I almost spat the words, after all he was one of the people in my list who broke my trust.

I only have Mia, Layla and Alex who I can trust completely, though Mia doesn't count because she is my child.

I exhaled and inhaled, trying to control my anger. "I'm sorry for being rude. I-" I stopped and coughed loudly, my troat becoming terribly dry.

Miguel stood up and went to a mini fridge. "It's fine. I deserve it anyway. I'm not going to pretend that I didn't leave you alone, when I made a promise to you," he bluntly stated and stood up. I couldn't, like always, tell what kind of expression he had. He didn't look sorry, guilty or anything. I forgot that he was good at hiding his expression.

'Come to think of it. The biggest sign of expression I have seen him do was his usual smile..whatever, I should stop trying to figure him out.'

Miguel handed me the bottle and sat down. I took the bottle and drank it silently.

Miguel said, "Well let me tell you what...Lily told me."

~~Flashback

Miguel just entered the hotel with his companion, Logan

"Is something wrong? You are giving off weird vibes man," Logan said eyeing Miguel.

Miguel who usually smiled once upon a time at Sasha, looked like a man who doesn't know how to smile at all. He had a bored expression on and frowned at Logan.

"Vibes? Man? If your father heard you speak like that he will want to send you back at school again to know how to speak properly. He is probably rolling in his grave right about now," Miguel said nonchalantly.

Logan rolled his eyes and flashed him a smile. "You're funny, you know that? FWI, this is how people speak like these days. It's boring to speak in a 'proper' way, emphasising we were born with a silver spoon. Also stop speaking like he is dead," chuckled Logan, stuffed his hands in his pocket and walked on.

Miguel sighed. He did not want to come in this stupid event and tasked to keep an eye on Logan from his interest in having fun(Women).

Miguel once he showed his invitation, walked towards the hallway, leading to the ballroom. Suddenly, he heard sniffing and sobs. Miguel stopped his steps.

'Could that be who I think it is?' he thought and went to the direction of the sound.

He was disappointed when he found out it was just a girl with chocolate hair and eyes, but not her. He was about to leave quietly, since it did not concern him, but stopped.

'Maybe this girl will know her?' he thought.

He walked towards the girl and cleared his throat. This caught the girl by surprise because she didn't notice someone was there. She quickly wiped away her tears and stiffly smiled.

"Welcome to Libra hotel. Umm...you are not supposed to be here. How may I help you?" she asked between sniffs.

Miguel answered, "Do you know where Sasha is?"

The moment he asked, the girl froze and colour drained from her face. Miguel was about to ask her what was wrong, but the girl broke into hysterical sobs immediately.

She blurted, "I made a mistake! I shouldn't have listened to her! It'll be all be my fault for whatever happens to Sasha! What have I done?!" she cried, crouched on the ground and clenched her hair on the side of her head.

Meanwhile, Miguel was immediately focused on what she said. She just mentioned Sasha. That got him interested.

He crouched next to the girl and his expression and tone of voice immediately switched to a calm and gentle kind, like someone was soothing a baby.

"Look at me. I said look at me," he said and tilted the girl's chin to face him. His grey eyes seemed to look like a calm..before the storm.

"You said something about a woman named Sasha? What's wrong? I'll help you," he said gently.

The girl hesitated in telling Miguel the truth, but the way he spoke and his kind expression made her feel like he was to be trusted. The girl did not want to continue hiding the truth, even though he was a complete stranger, who could tell on her or leave her be. She grabbed Miguel's arms and begged him while crying.

"Please save Sasha! I-I did something horrible! I shouldn't have listened to her!" she sobbed.

Miguel frowned and asked where Sasha was.

~~End of flashback

"That is how I got you in time. As you were still asleep, the girl told me who ordered her to do that to you," he finished.

I stared at Miguel right in his eyes.

"Where is she?" I asked.

The door in the room opened as a result. I stared at her a frown on my face.

"Lily..."
