Sophie's pov

The next morning...

I was woken up by the rays of light shining bright on my face. I turned and stretched my arms wide enough, but got a quick bolt of fear flow into me when my hand touched the skin of someone beside me.

I gasped and sat up with my eyes wide open. A man on the bed with me. How.....What happened.....What is going on.... who is he?....

I had lots of questions running through my head at the same time. What was happening? Why was a man naked on the same bed as me? I am naked too.

Everything that happened at night came rushing back to my memory. I had slept with the man beside me. I had slept with Ethan Wensworth.

I pulled out a gasp from my throat and moved back in fright. My heart was beating faster than normal, realizing what I had done. I had betrayed my boyfriend and my sister. Her fiance was the man on my bed.

Surprisingly, it felt so good. I could still remember the ecstasy feeling he made me feel. It felt so good.

I hit my forehead realizing I was reminiscing on what happened with a smile on my face. I need to forget about it all. I need to run as far as I can away from him and never show my face to him. He wouldn't remember.

It was just a drinking night and I was sure he was drunk too. We were both drunk. We just need to forget it ever happened and go on with our lives.

I hurriedly climbed down the bed and picked up my clothes. I wore them back while making sure not a single noise was made. I quickly arranged my hair and walked out of the room.

A hotel room? Gosh! What has become of me? I tried shaking the thought off but who was I kidding? It was going to hunt me for the rest of my life and I just signed up a long deal for it.

Juliet was nowhere to be found. Could it be she saw the both of us and went back home hurt? What should I do? I have hurt her feelings. I have betrayed her, Daniel, and my family.

What would happen when they all see me? What is going on in the house? Anything that is done to me, is well deserved. I have ruined Juliet. Oh goodness!

I took a cab which took me home. I paid off the driver and stood by the gate, wondering what would happen if I stepped in. It surely wouldn't be good. My family has shown me love all through my life and I dared hurt my sister.

I swallowed hard and squeezed my clothes tightly. My legs were rooted to the ground and I could move in.

"Hello sister," Juliet called out, walking out of the house. "You look so awful right now. I was about to go back to the bar. What the hell happened to you?" She walked closer and placed her hand on my shoulder staring at me with concern.

I drew my brows together, surprised about her reaction. She doesn't look like someone who was angry or who even knew what happened last night. Didn't she go back up to check on me?

"You left last night?"

She nodded. "Yes. I had to leave cause my mother called. I needed to go back home and cover up for the both of us. But I was sure to have left you safely there and I instructed the security to watch you. I wouldn't leave you on your own, but your state made it impossible to bring you home with me. Mother will get worried sick."

I don't know what to feel. Happy? Relieved? Sad? Or guilt? At least she didn't see the betrayal, but the guilt would be stuck with me forever.

She let out a sigh and drew closer to me. "I guess the alcohol in the drink was too much. I am sorry about it. It's all my fault." She raised the corner of her lips and draped her arm around mine, "C'mon, let's go in."

We got in and no one seemed to know the sin I had committed. They were all busy, smiling and laughing to themselves. I don't know if I should call this better because, deep down, I wanted them to find out about my sin and give me my deserved punishment.

"Where have you been, Sophie? Come join us." Mother, Liana, called with a smile reaching her eyes.

I forced a smile too and went to them. "You look a mess." Mother added and caressed my cheeks.

"I need to freshen up." I rushed out and went upstairs to my room.

I shut the door behind me and rested my back on the door, releasing the breath I had held in when with them. It felt so suffocating knowing what I had done but still smiling with them.

The guilt was overwhelming my heart. My phone rang in my pocket and I brought it out to answer it, but seeing Daniel's name displayed on the screen, it fell from my hand and scattered on the floor.

This is bad. I am not myself anymore. The guilt is engulfing my entire body. I placed my hand on my chest, trying to breathe.

A loud knock came on the door and I jumped up with a low scream escaping my lips. I need to calm down. I might collapse if I stand near my family again.

The knock came again and I exhaled deeply before I went to open the door.

"Mother is......" she cut off my words by connecting her palm to my cheek, making a loud, thunderous sound.

"How dare you, Sophie? How dare you do this to your sister?"

I placed my hand on my cheek with my mouth open, "Mother..... I-I didn't...."

She turned on her phone and showed it to my face. My jaw dropped and the world stood still around me.

In the video displayed before me, I was in bed, making out with Ethan. Someone had videos of what happened. I am doomed. My life is over.

"Mother I can explain......”
