You can't runaway

"I swear upon the science and this freaking universe, after this day, I Sasha Reagan will NOT attend any parties and touch the sinned alcohol!!!" Sasha screamed internally as she found the staircase to which leads the ground floor.

As soon as she reached the empty living room, she struggled to take a gulp and scanned the room for any human presence,

Once she found that the coast is clear, Sasha darted outside like an arrow.

However, due to her bad luck, she ran into a woman who was watering the plants in the garden,

"Miss," The woman looked at Sasha with a surprised face, "Did you sleep here, last night?"

"I am really sorry, I think I fell asleep...I am really sorry for being rude," Sasha apologized right away.

"No, no don't apologize, this mansion remains empty anyways. I am glad that at least someone decided to sleep in," The voice of the old woman had a tinge of despair,

As she picked the air of loneliness around the woman, Sasha easily recognized the person who was standing in front of her.

It was madam strombell, Lia's mother in law who is fond of throwing grand parties.

"Madam, where is Lia?" She inquired,

"She left early morning due to some emergency. Are you leaving miss? Why don't you have breakfast and-"

Even before madam strombell could finish her words, Sasha' phone rang again and it was Daniel, her beloved senior editor who just got back his title of the saviour.

"Excuse me, ma'am," Sasha apologized and attended the call,

"Sasha, where are you, how many times did I call you?" Daniel's worried voice heard as soon as she picked up the call,

"I was asleep," She managed to give him a reply,

"You scared me. I thought something might have happened to you since I got no reply,"

"I am alright, Dan...I just woke up late,"

"Did you see my message?"

"No,"

"Actually I have to ask you a favour, can we meet in the afternoon?" He asked her with a bit of reluctance,

"Yes, sure. I will be there, just don't worry," She blabbered something in order to refuse madam strombell who offered her to stay over for the breakfast.

If she stayed over the breakfast, she will definitely run into that man whom she somehow managed to run away.

"Ah okay then, I will send you the address," Daniel affirmed,

"Yes, yes, thank you...I will leave right away," She ended the conversation and glanced at madam strombell who was silently waiting for her to finish the phone call,

"Do you have an emergency?" Madam strombell asked as she overheard the bits of conversation,

"Yes, ma'am,"

"Oh, you poor souls!" Madam strombell gasped, "You doctors are having a really busy life. I am not persuading you to stay over for the breakfast. But please make sure to eat something before your duty time starts,"

"Wait a minute! Did she think of me as a doctor who works with her daughter in law?" A doubt popped up in Sasha's mind,

However madam strombell's misconception has paved her a way to escape, so Sasha decided to play along,

"I am sorry madam strombell for not declining your offer, it is an emergency and I really have to leave now,"

"I will call the driver to drop you at the hospital,"

"No, no my friend is staying on the next street, he just said that he will drop me off," Sasha told a lie straight out of her teeth as the first thing in the morning,

"Oh then, I will walk you till the gates,"

"No ma'am, please continue with watering. I will go," She tried every single way to get away from madam strombell,

"Thank you, madam, for being such a great host, thank you so much," Sasha shared her gratitude before rushing out the stromwood mansion before someone else would join their conversation.

"Take care, miss," Madam strombell told the woman who was striding towards the gates as if she is running away from danger.

"Such a nice lady. If she wasn't a doctor, she must be a perfect partner for Kit,"

Poor madam Strombell, she really can't adjust with another super busy doctor as her daughter in law.

Only when she reached the comfort zone of her house, the trembling of Sasha's frail body calmed down.

She somehow dragged her body to the kitchen and gulped down a bottle full of water before dropping on onto her knees.

"What a terrible thing she had done last night?"

She wiped the sweat beads in her forehead and rose to her feet.

There is no point in crying over spilt milk,

Whatever happened last night there is no point in regretting now.

It wasn't a crime...it was just an accident which happened under the effect of alcohol.

Nowadays having one night stands are pretty common and with her behaviour even if she meets a thousand men, she might not agree to marry or date them.

So it is better that, the smutty needs hidden deep inside her, got satisfied in a night.

At least she won't have any more R-rated dreams.

"Ahhh let's think like that and console my poor heart," Sasha muttered as she walked towards her bathroom.

Her whole body ached as if she ran a marathon,

Sasha opened the hot water faucet and filled the tub to soak herself.

After taking a long bath, Sasha walked out of the tub wearing a white towel around her body.

As she passes beside the mirror which was fogged with steam from the hot bath, Sasha stopped in her tracks to clean the mirror.

Once her charming countenance reflected on the clean mirror, Sasha shrieked out in horror.

Her neck and collar bones were covered with love marks. The purplish bruises on her white skin appeared like an eyesore.

Didn't she wear a gown with a deep neck for the party? No wonder everyone was staring at her like a museum exhibit. She was roaming around with the traces of a wild night.

She sighs regretfully and closed her eyes to calm herself.

The deed has been done. She cannot go back and demand her virginity back.

Turning away from the mirror, Sasha headed straight towards her closet and dressed up in a pair of sweatshirts and pyjamas.

As she planned to take nap to give rest to her aching body, her stomach growled loudly,

"Of course, your body craves some food to replenish the energy after a strenuous exercise," She spelt out something which she read somewhere as she walked towards the kitchen.

She was hungry like a mother bear, but she had no energy to cook a proper meal.

Cursing on her fate, Sasha opened her refrigerator and took a milk carton along with some fruits.

She quickly washed the fruits and heated glass of milk for her brunch.

As she took the glass to take a gulp, the doorbell rang all of sudden.

"Why universe? Why? I won't give me a moment of peace?" She placed the glass on the table and stomped towards the door in anger.

Normally, she always peeps through the door before opening it, since she lives alone. However, since the visitor has broken the last strand of her sanity, Sasha just pulled open the door without any second thoughts.

In front of her door, a handsome man stood erect with a charming smile,

"Hi there," Noah removed the black sunglasses which covered his blue eyes which resembled the deep blue sea.

Sasha froze like a statue as she recognized the man who was standing outside her door,

He was the man she tried to avoid the most as soon as she woke up in the strombell mansion and thanks to her terrible luck, he directly came looking for her house.

"Why me?"
