When Elias woke up, Esther was nowhere to be found.

He groaned as he stood up from bed.

"Dafuck", he moaned as he closed his eyes in pain, a loud ringing resounding in his head.

Then everything that happened last night came to him.

Clearly, he remembered he had molested her.

He took the vase on the drawer and smashed it against the wall in anger.

Someone had spiked his drink.

But wait a minute.

He recounted what he did the previous day.

He didn't have anything last night.

He had recruited new men, yelled at Ali, killed three people, meeting with Mecha then the lady and rapist.

No drinks.

"Fuck!", he yelled.

He needed to apologize to her.

He walked downstairs and called on David.

"DAVID!", he yelled.

The young man came running to him immediately.

"You calle-", he began.

"Esther. Where's she?".

"She left around six this morning".

Elias sighed deeply before he spoke again.

"Get my breakfast ready".

He went back to the room to prepare for the day before going back downstairs to eat after which he made his way to work.

He dialed her number as he drove but his calls went to voicemail.

He was worried, so worried that he called her brother.

When Elias got to work, he called for the doctor immediately.

The doctor examined him and took a sample of his blood, promising to be back few hours later with the result.

After the doctor left, Elias couldn't focus on work.

He could only think about Esther and what he had done to her.

His thoughts were fogged. Everything Mecha was saying just drifted past his ears.

"Shut up, Mecha", he groaned.

Mecha looked at him.

"Leave", he said.

Mecha did as he was told and Elias placed his head on the desk, dozing off immediately.

Later, the doctor finally came back as he had promised.

"Yes?", Elias had been woken up from sleep.

"There are Bath salts in your system", the doctor said.

"Cloud Nine?", Elias raised an eyebrow.

"Yes also known as Bloom".

"What did it do to me?", Elias rubbed his eyes with the back of his palm.

He was still sleepy.

"It contains stimulants which increases the level of dopamine, a brain chemical that causes feelings of euphoria. Basically, the drug multiplies or increases the emotions a person is feeling at the particular moment it is consumed".

Suddenly, thoughts of last night came to him. He had molested her.

How is that an emotion?, Is me molesting her an emotion I've been keeping?, he thought to himself.
