CHAPTER 32: I'M BACK

CHELSEA

A clinking spoon and plate woke me up from my deep sleep. I didn't open my eyes because I was still very sleepy and I feel the heaviness in my whole body. I start to feel my head ache. I kept closing my eyes and felt my surroundings. I can hear people talking.

Wait.

Where am I?

Where did I went last night and why is my whole body in such pain, especially my head?

"Shit!" I thought about it when I remembered that Angel and I had a drink last night.

A sudden image of a man entered my mind. He took me to the parking lot and we got into his car. When I entered, the memories of what happened last night suddenly appeared in my mind. I immediately woke up with those memories.

WTF? Why did I do that? Did that really happened? Maybe I'm just dreaming!

I slapped my cheek one after another when suddenly someone grabbed my hand and stopped me from what I was doing.

"What are you doing?"

Just by the timbre of his voice, it was obvious that he was worried about me. But why does his voice sound so familiar? I slowly raised my eyes to see who was the man in front of me now. I jumped from my seat on the bed when I saw that it was Redemon. I immediately looked around where I was now.

What?! How did I get back here?

I quickly got off the bed and regardless Redemon was right next to me. When I stood up, I noticed that Manang Fe was also in the room and was fixing the food that was on the table. Maybe it was the two of them talking that I heard earlier. I was about to take a step and run away when I suddenly felt like everything I ate was rising in my stomach. Instead of the door, I went straight to the restroom and quickly took a position in front of the toilet. After a while, everything I ate and drank last night in that bar came out on its own.

I felt someone enter the restroom and rub my back. "Why did you drink last night?" Redemon asked while holding my hair so I wouldn't spit on it.

I didn't answer him and just continued releasing toxins in my body. Terrible! It feels so bad. I feel like all my insides are going to come out and join the ones I'm going to throw up. I don't know how long I vomited but my neck was starting to feel nauseous and hurt so I lifted my head and was shocked to see Redemon's face. He is very close to me. I quickly felt lost so I looked away. When I finished, I slowly stood up and Redemon helped me. I went to the sink and washed my hands and face.

After I was done washing my face and was a bit awake, I went back outside. I saw Manang Fe smiling at me. "Have breakfast!" she said.

How did I escape from the man who forced me into the car? At that time I could only think of one thing and that was to survive.

"Eat first..." Redemon said while pointing to the food on the table.

"I have a meeting this morning. I need to go, now. Manang Fe will help you with everything you need, so don't be shy to tell her. Besides, let's talk about what we need to talk about when I get home." He said in a hurry.

What else does he want us to talk about? Is it about the contract or about what happened last night? Did he saw what happened?

I sat down and started to eat the stewed chicken that Manang Fe prepared for me. When Redemon saw that, he immediately left. Maybe he is really very busy. While staring at him to leave, I stared at his back. Suddenly something came back to my mind. A man punching Ares. Is that Redemon? Does that mean Redemon saved me last night? That’s why I'm back here at the mansion? I almost threw up what I was eating as all my questions became clear in my mind.

Yes, it is! Angel! Where is he? I don't know what happened to her last night. I never saw her again. I hope she is doing well now. I immediately stood up and looked for my phone.

My phone's battery is running low. Only 15% are left. I called Angel, but no one answered. Where is this witch? I hope nothing happened to her last night, or else I can't really forgive myself.

I was about to leave the room when Manang Fe suddenly blocked me. "Sir instructed me not to let you leave the room until he returns. You also need to eat your food so that your body's vitality can return."

Not allowed to go out? Does he intend to make me his prisoner here? We no longer have a contract, and I have left our contract, so he no longer has the right to control what I decide.

"And who said I would follow him? I'm not allowed to go out? What am I, his prisoner? Is what your boss is doing right? Do you think it's right for him to do this to me now?" I was annoyed with Manang Fe. Maybe because of the hangover, my head started to heat up quickly.

"Hija, you can go out of your room, but you need to have someone watch over you, like sir said, because we can't be distracted from watching because you might run away again later."

"Wow! What if I run away now, as if he looked for me when I disappeared! He just let me go, stupid, and now he still wants to do this to me!" I don't know why she's acting like this again.

"He looked for you. He looked for you for hours and hours after you left the mansion. We hardly ever see him sleep because, after work, he spends his time trying to find you. Where did you go? We are very worried about you, especially, sir. In fact, he even fired the guard that was on duty that night when you left the mansion... So I hope you don't run away and talk to him about it." Manang Fe said.

Is it true? Did he really find me? Why did he do that to the guard? I suddenly felt sorry just because I left... If only I had known that this would happen, I would not have continued to leave. I'm still perverted just because of my stupidity...

You're really Chelsea Leigh!

I just sat on my bed and stared at the floor, dumbfounded.
