Chapter 1 The Wrong Room

• The worst betrayals don’t come from enemies.
• They come from the people you trust the most.
• If someone had told me that my best friend would one day steal my identity, move into my boss’s mansion, and claim the man I accidentally spent the night with, I wouldn't have believed.
• But that’s exactly what happened.
• And it all started on the night of Orion Corporation’s end of the year party.
• I stepped out of the blue taxi in front of Sterling Tower Hotel . The driver drove off before I could even find cash in my bag to give him as a tip.I stood alone outside Sterling Tower Hotel, staring up at the massive building.
• For a moment, I considered turning around and going home.Everyone attending the party would be dressed in designer suits and expensive gowns.
• Meanwhile, I was wearing a simple red cotton dress that had taken me nearly an hour to choose. My long curly black hair was let down for the first time in a while instead of my usual bun falling past my shoulders, which I had done myself with a straightener and a lot of patience for over an hour, light simple make up I was already worried it would clean up before the party was over . My Left hand was a silver handbag I borrowed from my best friend and on my feet were painful black heels I had also borrowed from her .
• Standing there with the Hotel expensive silver glass doors behind me , I felt a way I couldn't explain. I straightened down the front of my dress and took a huge breath. The glass doors reflected me back. I haven't felt this nervous for a very long time.
• " Miss, are you going in ? . The hotel Porter's voice drew back my attention. I nodded, gave him a faint smile and walked in .
• The lobby was freezing and too bright. I kept my eyes straight ahead, pretending I do come there every week.
• My colleagues at work who were in charge of welcoming guest were by the elevator . Sharon head of my marketing department spotted me first.
• " Oh my God , Olive Andy , You actually came !.
• Few employees nearby laughed. I knew they were laughing at my outfit but I rolled my eyes and ignored them.
• "Go upstairs to the peony room at the eighteenth floor . Everyone is waiting".
• She grabbed my arm for a hug . It was warm and real .
• I smiled back at her . "Thanks Sharon u look great" .
• "Go on", she said waving towards the elevator .
• I thanked her and headed toward the elevators.
• I don't usually come to my company's events , because I always felt it wasn't meant for people like me .
• I had only come because the HR had said that attendance would be strictly taken.
• Missing it wasn't an option.
• I pressed the elevator's button for the eighteenth floor and it's doors slid shut immediately and the quiet got me . I was alone.
• The Elevator dinged . Eighteenth floor.
• I stepped outside the peony room , placed my hand on the door handle. Straggling within myself if I should open it not . Suddenly the door opened from the inside before I could decide.
• Taking a deep breath, I walked inside. There were already about two hundred Orion corporation employees from all departments and invited guests inside . Dress in glittering gowns and expensive suits.
• Soft music floating through the air .
• I walked in, scanning the entire room, I found a dark and lonely spot .
• Waiters were moving around with trays of champagne.
• I took a glass of it in and finished it in one go .
• Then another waiter passed by, without thinking I took another champagne glass .
• Then another . And another.
• Another one ! . I laughed softly as I lifted another glass from the try passing by me .
• At this point I had already loss count .
• The peony room was looking extremely beautiful with the silver lights and the loud music that echoed through out the entire hall . Everything around me blurred beautifully.
• I was definitely drunk.
• Very drunk .
• " I need air," I said out loudly , I didn't know if anyone could hear me or not .
• I forced myself outside, pushing through people heading towards the hallway. The farther I went, the quieter everywhere became.
• I needed it .
• My head was spinning badly now.
• The hallway stretched left and right with doors. I walked towards one the doors , stepped inside , kicked off my heels .
• A huge dizziness fell on me and I sank into a couch .
• The room was dark and had the atmosphere I needed at that moment.
• The cool silence felt wonderful.
• Thirty seconds later the door clicked open .
• " Oh". His voice was Deep.
• I thought this room was empty" .
• A man stood at the door way . His suit's jacket hanged around his shoulder , his tie on his hands . His hair was very messy.
• "Sorry I batch in". he said.
• I just need some space ", I replied . My voice came out not too loud.
• He stepped inside and locked the door behind him.
• The room fell silent again.
• For several minutes, neither of us spoke.
• Then unexpectedly he spoke first.
• "Dennis ", he said he said after some minutes
• " Olive", I said.
• Then we began talking, stupid stuffs .
• Then his hand brushed mine where it rested on the couch . I didn't pull it away.
• And just like that, the night stopped being ordinary.Two strangers , both bored and under the influence of alcohol.
• Then his lips moved against mine slowly at first, almost careful like he was giving me chance to change my mind. I didn't instead I kissed him harder .
• A soft sound escaped me when his hands slid around my waist, pulling me closer until there wasn’t even an inch of space left between us.
• Heat rushed through my body instantly.
• The alcohol in my system made everything feel warmer , softer, dangerous in the best way possible.
• He lifted me from the couch and placed me on the bed .
• " You are beautiful," he murmured quietly.
• He began kissing me again before I could think much into it . Light and gentle.
• Kisses that stole every thought from my head .
• "Tell me if you want me stop? . He whispered into my right ear .
• But I didn't want him to stop . Not when I was already enjoying it.
• So instead of answering him, I wrapped my legs around his waist and began unbuttoning his shirt to give him a go ahead order.
• He began kissing me deeply. He kissed me like he couldn't stop once he started. And I was kissing him same way too .
• The tension between us increased. But neither of us stopped.
• Then the slow pull of clothes slipping away piece by piece followed.
• He lowered himself over me carefully, our bodies moving together with growing urgency . Warm skin against skin.Soft moans filled the room, accompanied by whispered words . The chemistry between us was impossible to ignore.
• Afterwards, I rested my head on his chest, while his hands wrapped loosely on my waist .
• Gently and slowly, we slept off .
• I woke up the next the next morning with a headache that fills like a punishment.
• For some minutes I didn't move. I looked around the room. It was unfamiliar, too expensive .My curtains weren't white.
• My mattress wasn't this soft. This wasn't my room.
• I pushed myself upright too quickly and nearly choked when the sheet slid down my body.
• I was completely naked . My breath caught.Then I noticed the empty space beside me.The bed wasn't empty.Someone was still there.
• I slowly turned my head and that was when my heart stopped.
• Him .
• Lying beside me.
