Courageous(Can i love again?)

Chapter 15

Keira's POV

"So you take advantage of a drunk woman laying on your bed ha? Is that it?" I immediately asked him with an angry voice. He smirked at me that makes me angrier, and little by little he was approaching me so I backed away.

"Wh-" I was about to speak when he suddenly spoke.

"You can say anything to me Keira, but I am not that kind of a man who takes advantage of a girl in a state like you have last night" He said with gritted teeth.  He smirked before he walked away from me again. I'm just stunned, I can't speak, there's something strange in his tone, I can hear sadness beside his anger.

"I am not that kind of person" He said again. I didn't know what to say. It's like I am the one who did something wrong here.

"As I said, you are the one who did that to yourself. I sleep beside you because first, it's my bed, and second I don't want to sleep on a sofa. I didn't do anything to you even though I want to, but I didn't" He said without looking at me. He turned to me but he didn't really totally look at me and then he spoke again.

"You can use my bathroom and get dressed, suit yourself. And then leave if you want" He said before he left. I immediately sat down and exhaled and wiped my face with my hand.

"What did I do?" I ask myself.

"Did I really do this to myself?" I asked again and tried to remember what happened but nothing really, my head hurt even more. I groaned and dropped myself on the bed and looked at the ceiling.

"Self. Just a reminder, don't get drunk again especially when you're with him. Okay" I said to myself again, I sigh again. Why do I feel guilty now? I fake a cry then got up.

After I took a bath and got dressed I slowly went out of his room and immediately looked around. He has a dark house, minimal design but elegant, it's nice but my penthouse is much nicer than this.

Then I saw a paper on the table saying.

"There's food inside the refrigerator. Eat anything you want there. Suit yourself" That's all there is to it and it seems like it's against his will. And why does he need to write it, he has my number duh.  So I guess he already left for work.

I saw my purse and came out, I haven't eaten yet and I have no appetite. When I got to the lobby I was immediately greeted by the crew of this hotel. Maybe he owns this one. I just smiled at them.

When I got out, it just sank in my mind that I don't have a car in here, because we were together last night. I was starting to get annoyed again when someone spoke so I looked around.

"Good Morning Ms. Keira. I am Ernesto, Mr. Viglianco's driver. He ordered me to drive you home or anywhere else you like" He told me with a smile so I smiled at him too. He's like a middle age man more like forty plus or something. I just agreed rather than taking a cab.

"Okay that's great, thank you!" I said to him and he opened the door so I could get in the car. I gave him my penthouse address then he started to drive.

It was a silent ride so I decided to scroll something on the internet, and then I saw a tabloid about me and a picture of me with King. This is last night, I'm wearing the same dress I'm wearing right now. My eyes widened and read its contents.

It says,

The very famous fashion designer and the heiress of Leuttgen Corporation Ms. Keira Leuttgen spotted with her Fiancé Mr. King Viglianco a very successful bachelor, having a dinner date at some Italian restaurant last night.

Then there was a photo of me smiling or more like laughing at him while my arms are around him.

Looks like they really having a great time with each other, ending up with Ms. Keira getting drunk and most of the people in the restaurant are amused by her cuteness in her drunk state.

I mentally slap myself. Why did I do that?I'm not a drinker but I'm drunk? He's right I'm a mess last night. I groaned and put down my phone, I don't want to read anything else. Then Mang Ernesto spoke. 

"Ma'am, are you okay?" He asked me while looking in the mirror to see me. I nod and smile at him.

"Hmm yeah, I'm alright" I just said. Later we arrived at my penthouse. He opened the door for me and I went out.

"Thank you" I said with a smile

"It's a pleasure ma'am" He said with a smile as well. I nodded then I went inside and went up to my penthouse to get dressed.

While I was choosing some clothes I want to wear I suddenly heard my mom shouting in the living room.

"Honey!" She called me, I just shook my head and smiled.

"Just a sec mom" I said and came out wearing a bathrobe. She hurriedly came to me with a big smile on her face.

"Hmm, mom?" I called her because she didn't speak.

"I saw the tabloids!" She said and screamed like a teenager in excitement.  I just covered my ears. Sometimes my mommy's naughtiness really comes out and she's just fun to watch.

"You were so sweet with each other. I saw your smile towards him, it's so special and beautiful to watch" She said as she approached me again and held my hands with great joy. I just smiled because I didn't know what to say to her.

"I am so happy that you're marrying him honey. I wish you happiness for both of you. I just want you to be happy Keira, we loved you so much and your happiness is our happiness too" My mom said she was having tears in her eyes so I just hugged her and then spoke.

"I know mom, I know. And I love you too, don't worry, I'm happy" I lied again. As I hugged my mom, I couldn’t smile because I was lying to them about the real situation King and I were in. 'I'm sorry mom' I just said in my mind and I pulled away from her and smiled again.

"By the way mom why are you here? Is that the only reason why you came here?" I said with a laugh and I went back to my room to continue what I was doing and she followed me.

"Of course not. Your wedding is just in a couple of days, and I just want to have my princess all day only for mommy" She said and touched my face with a smile on her lips.

"You are the sweetest mother on earth mom. Of course, you can have me all day I promise" I said and I could see her become so happy.

"Thank you. Okay now get ready, I'll cook your breakfast first" She said, I just nodded and she left.

When my mom came out I gasped and sat down. This situation is so frustrating.  I hate lying to them but what can I do? If I say that I really have no interest in marrying King, I know that they will be hurt a lot there and that's what I don't want to happen to see my parents get hurt because of me... again.
