CHAPTER ONE

There was pin drop silence in the room and it was enveloped in a deadly aura. Bringing him out is hard enough but getting him to have fun is next to impossible. Logan Steele, the one who could cover the entire sky in the city with one palm. I can only imagine how oppressive the air in the room seems but David Grant, the carefree friend does not care about Logan's gloomy face, "Waitress, one more round of drinks please" he called out to the lady on standby. Logan, having enough stood up and sets to leave but David manges to hold him back saying " it's your last night as a bachelor dude, don't you wanna let loose and have some fun? it's bad enough that you didn't allow us invite some badass strippers but now you want to leave halfway through? that's not fair enough man" Logan, unable to resist his childhood and best friend decides to settle for a final round of drinks. the waitress brings in the drinks with clammy hands obviously scared of Logan and his oppressive aura and she almost trips as a shoots her a deadly glare for staying too long, she cowers and runs out of the private room in fear of what Logan might do to her. On getting outside, she leaves the bar and goes out to an abandoned alley to make a call " Hello... yes I already put the powder in his drink... yes I watched him drink it directly... His friends said his lodge is room 249... when are you going to send me the remaining payment?.... okay then... I'll be expecting your good news... goodnight " she slinks away without anybody noticing and back to the private room... Logan's eyes were turning red and he was feeling weak and hot all over and it took him a while to realize what had happened to him... he drags David aside and whispers to him " I've been drugged, send everybody home I have to go to the hotel room now..." but before he could complete his words he slips to the ground now sweating profusely, David in a fit of rage sends their other friends home and helps Logan back to his room and leaves to get help, unknown to him, the moment he leaves, a semi unconscious girl was also sent into the same room. 

LOGAN'S POV

I've wanted to leave this place a long time ago but due to the fact that I want to save David's face cause I'm very sure it took him a lot of resources to put this bachelor's night together for me. I don't want this bachelor's night cause I don't want to get married. this marriage is a ruse put together by my grandmother and I only agreed with her cause she kept on threatening to die if I don't agree to her absurd request so I decided to get married to the daughter of the Parker family. I was killing two birds with one stone. How? It was a contracted marriage that I requested for as a way for them to repay the debts that their father was owing me before he passed away and from what I had gathered, the family doesn't want the company to go bankrupt so they would do everything for it to stay afloat so when I sent them the request, I didn't give them a chance to refuse my request so it was more like a command to them. During the bachelor's night, I noticed the waitress shivering and acting all clumsy but I felt like it was a reaction I had gotten used to from people and then when she served the last rounds of drinks and ran out I felt somehow but I discarded the thought. after having my last glass of drink I started feeling hot from within and I started feeling dizzy and lightheaded, I tried to stand up but I was very weak and that was the moment I realized what was going on. I have been drugged. this is definitely a very strong aphrodisiac because regular aphrodisiacs don't really work on me but this one took effect almost immediately. with the last of my strength, I called David and explained the situation to him and he hurriedly even though angry sent everyone home, helped me to my hotel room and ran out to find a doctor cause Levi, my personal doctor was out of town and couldn't rush back during that time. a few minutes after David left, the door to my hotel room creaked open and a tiny figure was pushed in... Are these people really testing my patience? I was angry and tired but I tried not to move from my initial position cause I was starting to feel really uncomfortable and I don't want any physical contact with any woman. I thoroughly despise that gender. suddenly, I hear a sweet and soft voice that seemed to be like an ember thawing all the coldness in my heart and I instinctively move to the source of the sound and I noticed that it came from the tiny figure that was pushed in earlier. I looked at her and she seemed to be uncomfortable too even more uncomfortable than I feel... has she been drugged too? I try to check her temperature, suppressing the desire that was burning inside me, her face was flushed and she was looking very alluring and tempting. before I could comprehend what was going on, she clung onto me like a koala and at that moment, all rationality flew outside the window. I flipped her over on the bed and kissed her, ripping her clothes apart in the process and then I entered her roughly but to my utmost surprise, she cried out in pain "oh shit! it's her first time too" I instinctively became gentler and I remember taking her several times before I finally felt satisfied and then we fell asleep in the comfort of each other's embrace. 

While the steamy session was going on, the Steele family mansion received a call from an anonymous person that almost sent the Matriarch into shock. "Hello... yes, proceed... what?!... That's impossible!... Outrageous!... Logan Steele?... are you sure that it's my grandson?... in an hotel room with a woman?... I'll go confirm your news personally first thing in the morning... I hope this information is valid else you can do yourself a favor by disappearing from King's city before I get a hold of you... Bye..." 

First thing the next day, room 001 suddenly opened from outside the matriarch of the Steele family, Margaret Steele's eyes widened in shock and horror. Logan Steele, her grandson whom she knows to despise women, sleeping peacefully with a woman in his embrace and what is more shocking was the glaring red stains on the white sheets. it is very obvious what has happened the night before. if this had happened a week earlier, Margaret Steele would have been happy but Logan's wedding was meant to hold TODAY!. Suddenly, an idea bulb lights in her head and the expression on her face changes from shocked to happy and the people beside her could not help but look at themselves like "is she alright?" then she calls her personal assistant and says " when they wake up, get the stylists to dress the lady up for the wedding and bring Logan to my study. If he refuses to come, tell him he can wait for news of my death. they are getting married tonight. and tell the other girl from the Parker family that I have set my sights on another person. Also check the background of this girl and I expect reports in an hour." she struts away happily almost prancing all the way back to her car. 

Later the same morning, The two bodies on the bed stir awake and open their eyes at the same time, 

SOPHIA'S POV

I screams as my eyes widen in horror realizing what had happened to me. I try to wrap my head around what had happened and then I recall the last thing that happened before I zoned out. My step mother Evelyn and my stepsister Samantha had given me a cup of fruit punch and I had lost consciousness afterwards. "oh no I've been drugged... what have I done" I muttered to herself but suddenly snaps back to reality when I realize that someone else was on the same bed and it was at that minute that I felt the bone wrecking pain in my lower body. it felt like a truck had run me over or something like that and my head was aching badly, I whip my head towards the person on the other side of the bed and then back at my naked body under the blanket. gathering all the courage I could muster, I wrap the blanket around myself in the speed of light and zoomed into the bathroom. On entering the bathroom, my legs gave out under me and I sat on the floor and for the first time since my father entered the comatose state I cried, hard. I have failed myself and my father. I always thought Samantha and Evelyn would only continue using their petty methods, I never knew they would stoop so low. This is definitely the straw that broke the camel's back. They not only drugged me but sent me into the bed of a stranger. I try to find my phone to call my friend, Anna to bring me some clothes but that seemed impossible and I began to panic but then I heard a knock on the door. "Miss Parker please come outside, the president asked me to talk to you and get you some clothes" I creaked the door open and took the clothes. I put them on very fast and come outside to talk to him while wondering how he knows my name. But then the next thing he says seemed to shock me into oblivion "Miss Parker, I am Daniel, the personal assistant of the matriarch of the Steele family. I was sent by the matriarch to inform you of your wedding to Mr Logan Steele today and outside this door, your makeup artist and stylist are waiting for you".
