Drugged

Chloe approached Lucy, holding a drink in her hand.

"Congratulations," Chloe said, handing Lucy the glass.

"Thank you," Lucy replied, taking it hesitantly.

Chloe smiled slyly. "Nathaniel's told me a lot about you. Rising star, huh?"

Lucy nodded politely. "I'm just trying to do my best."

Chloe chuckled, her tone sharp. "Well, enjoy it while it lasts."

The comment made Lucy uneasy, but she didn't want to show it. She took a sip of her drink, hoping to brush off the strange vibe.

Minutes later, Lucy felt a wave of dizziness.

"I don't feel so good," she murmured to Cassie.

Nathaniel appeared out of nowhere. "Here, drink some water," he said, handing her a bottle.

Lucy took it, grateful, but even after drinking it, her head felt foggy.

"I need to sit down," she said weakly.

"I'll take you somewhere quiet," Nathaniel said, guiding her out of the main hall.

"I will come with you" said Cassie

"it's alright I got this" said Nathan with a forced smile

He took her to a room

"Stay here I will come in a while" said Nathaniel with a hidden smile

Meanwhile, Mr. Lazarus took the stage to thunderous applause.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here tonight," he began. "This is a special moment for my family. Tonight, I'm proud to introduce my two sons, my heirs."

The crowd leaned forward eagerly.

"Please welcome Nicholas Lazarus and Sebastian Lazarus."

The crowd erupted in applause as the two men stepped onto the stage. Nicholas, tall and sharply dressed, exuded authority with his serious expression. Sebastian, equally handsome but more approachable, smiled warmly at the crowd.

Everyone around "Damn, there handsome did you know that about Sebastian"

But Lucy wasn't there to see it.

the Lazarus brothers continued to captivate the audience, but Nicholas soon grew tired of the attention and excused himself,

Which room is arranged for me he asks Sebastian with his husky captivating voice

Room 606 he answered

heading to a private room with bodyguards beside him he arrived at the elevator and stopped the bodyguards from following him.

meanwhile Chloe walked away, joining Nathaniel in a corner.

"She drank it," Chloe said under her breath.

Nathaniel smirked. "Good. Everything is falling into place. I've already arranged for her to end up in the wrong room. By morning, her reputation will be ruined, and the company will be mine."

Chloe laughed softly. "The driver's been bribed, and everything's set. This is going to be fun."

Nathaniel nodded but added with a sly grin, "But first, I want to taste her lips."

He returned to Lucy, who was beginning to feel lightheaded. "Here, drink some water," he said, handing her a bottle.

Lucy drank it, but the dizziness worsened.

"I think I need to lie down," she murmured.

As she was standing up, Nathaniel held Lucy's face and before he could do anything she vomited,

"I am so sorry" stummered Lucy

"SHIT!", He exclaimed in anger he then breathed

Nathaniel handed her a room key. "Go to Room 605. I'll come check on you in a while."

Lucy nodded and made her way to the elevator. Unbeknownst to her, Nathaniel sent a message to Cassie and James from her phone, saying, "I'll be home late. Don't wait for me."

On the sixth floor, Lucy struggled to walk. Her head felt heavy, and her vision blurred. She saw a door ajar—Room 606—and staggered inside.

"Hello?" she called weakly. "Can I get some water?"

The room was dark no lights on, The sound of splashing water stopped. A deep voice replied from the bathroom, "Who's there?"

Lucy leaned against the wall, struggling to stay upright. "I… I need water."

The bathroom door opened, and Nicholas Lazarus stepped out, a towel around his neck and waist. His sharp features, piercing eyes, and commanding presence took Lucy by surprise.

Woman get off my room if you want to be safe

still feeling dizzy Lucy walked towards him holding his hand and one hand on his chest

'I don't feel so good sir, please help me" her eyes blurry

Nicholas looked down to look at her with his lazy eyes

" Get out of my room you are in the wrong room " he said with his husky voice

"I just need more water sir" and a drop of water fell on Lucy's face from Nicholas's hair she looked up and there lips brushed and she and she licked her lips

"You brought this upon yourself lady" he said his voice intimidating before throwing her on his bed and removing her dress in a swift way and started kissing her

"What are you doing" Lucy said when he left her lips for a while and before she could continue he captured her lips once again
