gulped another glass of the drink she had as she stared at the man who was sitting by a corner.
The chair he sat on was a leather couch and he seemed to be the only one around, causing Alix to have thoughts that aren't holy.
He was the same man she bumped into when leaving her room and he seemed to have been coming out of the bathroom.
Wait, why was he still at the reception? Everyone had left, why was he still waiting?
Alix met his eyes because her eyes were still glued on him as he drank and did some things on his phone.
The girl got tired of staring at him and turned to her drink only for a thought to strike her mind.
How much she was hurting from what her fiancee did to her couldn't be calculated. When she recalled the scene of her sister in bed with her fiancee, she grimaced her face and gulped more than two glasses of the alcohol.
This was when the bartender decided to cut in but she made him realize that he had no say in her life. She drank half of the bottle knowing full well that the man in the corner was staring at her.
Did she mind? No!
And then, she minded him when another thick thought came to her mind.
She had been keeping herself safe for her finance but he went on and cheated on her what if she does the same?
There was a man who was alone and fit for the job.
And at that moment, Alix couldn't think straight, she just wanted to waste herself as she was more than devastated. It was her wedding day for Christ's sake!! Why her wedding day?
If she didn't find out about it, he'd just have arrived at the altar and made some stupid vows to her!! Her mind was screaming in pain as she waste herself drinking.
"No," Alix murmured. "No, he must pay for this," she sounded decisive in a weak tone. The bartender had seen she had reached her limit but if she didn't want his interference then he should mind his business.
Alix dizzily leaped to her feet, viewing two of the man sitting at the corner watching her.
Tonight, she'd lose that flower she had been treasuring for that lowlife! Alix smiled at her decision and tiredly walked to the man's presence.
Standing was tiring for her so she smashed her buttocks to the couch, sitting right next to him.
"Hey," with a smile she reached for his attention even when he was looking at her.
The man found her pathetic, he was just in the hall because he felt lazy to go home or he didn't want to reach home yet.
Now with the bride acting all pathetic and stupid as she was drunk, he suddenly grew interested in what happened to her.
"Hey," he answered.
"Will you like to spend a night with me?" She asked. Alix felt full in the belly and perhaps because of that she was feeling dizzy. "I'm gorgeous too," she added when she received no response from him except his eyes staring at her.
Ace just smiled and soon chuckled at himself. "What happened? Aren't you supposed to be married by now?" His question was just to heal his curiosity but it made Alix's heart hurt more.
"No wedding," she let her head fall as she was now crying. "No wedding because..." Alix lifted her head and looked at him before dropping her head on his shoulder. She couldn't stand the dizziness anymore.
"... because I dumped the groom. He's such a jerk!!" She expressed her frustration.
Ace stayed quiet as he put together the puzzle and soon he understood what was going on.
"You know, no one will question you about it because...as you can see..." She swallowed. "I'm single and willing to sleep with you," Alix pushed her head back to look at him and his face was right in front of hers. She smiled miserably. "Will you?" She asked.
"What's your name?" He suddenly asked after staring at her lips and face for a while. He didn't like being touched but at the moment, he felt he couldn't take a move.
Yes, he didn't know that couple's name because he wasn't at the reception willingly.
"Alix..." She answered. "Alix Dennison," she finished. "What's yours?" She whispered. Her head was still on his shoulder.
"Ace," he told her. "And I understand that you were cheated on," he looked her way again.
"Don't make me sad again, just..."
"You want revenge," it wasn't a question, he was sure of it.
"He cheated and I want to too," she grimaced her face on the verge of crying.
"And you want to cheat on him with me. You dumped him and you are single," he smiled when he faced her again.
"Will you sleep with me then?"
"Well, there's just this...kind of condition," he started.
"Condition?" Alix pushed back. "Whatever it is, is it money? It's no big deal. Just sleep with me," she sounded so desperate.
"I won't let you go, Alix," his voice when he mentioned her name did something to her heart.
"Why?"
"Once you lay with me, you'll be mine. I'll own every part of you," his eyes expressed his seriousness but Alix was too drunk to understand that.
Alix for a moment turned blank at his words and didn't take to heart his words. "That's..." She attempted to question him but he didn't let her talk.
"That's the deal," The man completed it for her. "You lay with me, I make you mine," he sounded decisive. "So think about it before you regret getting revenge."
After his statement, he took sips of the drink he had because he believed she'd back out but her words shocked and excited him at the same time.
"I won't regret it, make me yours." Alix decided, she wanted it and she wasn't backing down.
"You sure baby girl?" Ace needed to confirm.
"I want it." She answered and he smirked at her words. Then it was a deal.
***
Ace watched the girl undress before him as they had already reached a room in the hotel.
He cleaned her face and made her lay underneath him in bed.
This was it, she was going to finally give her flower away to a stranger which wasn't what she had wanted.
Alix had dreamt about this moment with just one man and that was the man she loved so much, her fiancee.
Because of that, "will you kiss me?" She asked Ace to act more like how she had imagined her first time to be.
And Ace found himself kissing and doing everything she wanted him to and soon he found out that she was a virgin because she was so tight there.
That was when a one-night stand turned into beautiful lovemaking because he made sure to go slowly and gently with her so she wouldn't cry more.
The next day arrived soon. Alix woke up to the ray of sunlight on her face and the throbbing feeling she felt down her.
Still not sure about herself or her life, she pushed herself to sit up only to view a naked man in bed with her.
Momentarily as she wondered, memories of last night began to flash in her mind causing her to gasp. She slept with a stranger and...what has she done?!
Scenes from last night caused chaos in her mind as she wore her wrecked wedding dress. She had nothing to wear and she needed to leave before he woke up so she had no choice but to wear her wedding dress.
With that, she left the room.
Not long after she departed from the room, Ace groaned out of his sleep.
He had been hearing movements but last night was too good that he didn't even aim to wake up until he faced the window where the sun was.
Sitting up, he stared at his side to see that the girl he spent the night with wasn't in bed with him.
Ace rushed to the bathroom and soon every corner of the room realized that she had left. "How dare she?" Staring into space with a dark expression, he muttered with gritted teeth. They had an agreement last night and now she had... she'll pay for this!
Ace searched for his phone only to call his assistant to find him at the hotel, he needed to go find that girl and make her pay.
