Chapter 1 Drugged

In the Rose Hotel, Carolyn was experiencing dizziness, a throbbing headache, and a complete lack of energy as she lay on a large bed, feeling hot and restless. She distinctly remembered being with her good friend Hannah at the graduation party, so how did she suddenly find herself in this dim and unfamiliar room? Carolyn braced her feeble body to touch her phone when the door was suddenly opened and a brief beam of light shone in. Before she could see the face of the person coming, the door closed and plunged into dimness again.

"Who are you?" Her breath was faint and she asked alertly, her body getting hotter and hotter.

The tall man remained silent, staring intently at her, his eyes filled with confusion and indecipherable emotions. After a moment of internal struggle, the man removed his clothes and pressed himself against her.

Carolyn panicked and tried to struggle, but she couldn't muster any strength. However, when the man's icy-cold skin touched her, she unexpectedly found it comforting, relieving the discomfort caused by the heat. Her momentary lapse in consciousness alleviated a large portion of the man's concerns. His icy-cold hand gently caressed down her face, and when he reached her soft chest, he couldn't resist any longer. He removed her top and began to kiss her. Startled, Carolyn realized what was happening and fearfully protected her chest. "Stay away! Don't touch me! Help!" Without the strength to struggle, she could only scream, but her voice was feeble, barely audible. Her rationality told her she had to push this man away. She had a boyfriend and couldn't allow herself to be violated in such confusion.

The man paused for a moment, looking at the girl beneath him, who was being tormented by aphrodisiacs. His uncontrollable desire took over, and he chose to remove her skirt and panties. He thrust his waist forward, fully possessing her. The pain of her ruptured hymen made Carolyn frown and let out a scream. She had never experienced sex before and thought it would be even more painful, but she was surprised by the man's gentle movements. He only accelerated after she adjusted. The pleasure of her body and the resistance in her heart tortured Carolyn, causing her to fluctuate between clarity and indulgence. When she was clear-headed, she pushed away and bit the man who was penetrating her, clenching her teeth to suppress any lascivious moans.

In the early morning, the harsh sunlight shone in through the gap of the curtain. Carolyn opened her eyes, her head was still a little dizzy, moved her body and found that it was sore, instantly her memory returned, last night she was violated! The pain and pleasure was so real. Carolyn jerked up and saw that there were multiple hickeys on her body and her first marks were left on the bed sheets.

Carolyn didn't notice the sound of the water that had been on in the bathroom, which suddenly stopped at this moment. She wrapped up the blanket in horror and grabbed the lamp on the bedside table. The man pulled open the bathroom door and wore a white bathrobe from the hotel, droplets of water from his hair dripping on his half-exposed hard, firm chest.

"You bastard!" Carolyn shouted angrily and smashed the desk lamp in her hand at the man.

The man easily dodged it with just one side step. Carolyn looked around and tried to find another weapon.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be you." The man's voice was calm and slightly apologetic.

Hearing this, Carolyn calmed down and only then did she recognize that the person in front of her was her boyfriend Herbert's little uncle Ellis Campbell! Carolyn had only met Campbell a few times at the Logan family's banquet, and had politely called out "Little Uncle" a few times, the two were not familiar.

The Logan family and the Palmer family were partners in the business world, and in the grandfather's generation, the marriage contract between the Palmer family's eldest Miss Carolyn Palmer and the Logan family's youngest master Herbert Logan was fixed. After the birth of the Palmer family's second Miss Julian Palmer, the stepmother Alina Hobbs also wanted to climb up the Logan family for her daughter, but at that time, only the age-appropriate Logan family chairman's grandfather's illegitimate son Ellis Campbell, who was nearly 50 years old, had to give up, and Alina Hobbs was always haunted by her heart. Rumor has it that Ellis Campbell was not valued by his family, so he followed his mother's surname and started boarding at the age of fourteen in middle school, and the Logan family did not give him an official position after graduation. Carolyn's mother died in childbirth, so she grew up without the help of her mother's family and was bullied by her stepmother Alina Hobbs and her younger sister Julian Palmer, while her father chose to turn a blind eye to the support of her stepmother's family in the business world. The only warmth around Carolyn came from her nanny, Aunt Stephanie, who brought her up. Aunt Stephanie was in a car accident not long ago and has been lying in the hospital, requiring high medical bills, but her father is only willing to pay $50,000 for her years of caring for the Palmer family, but the money can only support her for half a month at most. She was glad that she graduated yesterday and was able to find a full-time job to help Aunt Stephanie, but she didn't expect this unspeakable thing to happen on the night of the happy celebration, which made her face her boyfriend Herbert Logan and the Logan family's grandparents and uncles.

Carolyn desperately restrained her anger and shame and asked, "What happened last night?"

Ellis said calmly, "I was drunk at a dinner party last night, and it seemed that someone had drugged the wine. When I returned to my room and saw someone lying on the bed, we had sex in a daze."

Drugged? Carolyn remembered the hot feeling in her body last night. But she had clearly resisted, couldn't Ellis feel it?

She was about to ask the question, but then she thought that under the effect of the drug, he might not really notice it. Although Carolyn had only met Ellis a few times, she felt that he would not be such a shameless person, and he was also a victim in this matter, so she should not press him.

"Then please forget about last night completely, and let's pretend it never happened, okay?" Carolyn pleaded.

But Ellis said with a meaningful meaning, "The dinner last night was arranged by Herbert Logan."

Is this implying something? Can't this be hidden? Could it be that her boyfriend, Herbert, knew about it?

While Carolyn was thinking, Ellis had already changed his clothes, casually wiped the towel on his hair and threw it aside. The wet hanging hair covered his good-looking eyes, hiding the emotions in them.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Carolyn just came back to her senses, "Cam..." Before she finished shouting, Ellis's figure had disappeared.
