His Slave, His Queen

chapter 7

Cassy wakes up in a cozy yet unfamiliar bedroom, sunlight streaming through the curtains, causing her headache to intensify. Confusion grips her as she tries to recall the events of the previous night. She glances around, noticing unfamiliar surroundings—a room filled with framed photographs and a faint scent of coffee lingering in the air. With a throbbing headache, she struggles to piece together how she ended up here.

Gathering her courage, Cassy ventures out of the bedroom into a tastefully decorated living room. As she looks around, she sees a well build man coming towards her, holding a tray with a steaming cup of herbal tea and a plate of toast. The man introduces himself as Stephano Delmenthis, explaining that He found Cassy passed out on the couch in bar last night.

Cassy's memories slowly start to return—a wild night out with friends, a few too many drinks, and then everything becomes a blur. Grateful for Stephano's kindness, Cassy sips the tea and nibbles on the toast, feeling a bit better. Stephano gently advises her to take it easy and offers to call someone to pick her up.

Feeling more refreshed after the meal and Stephano's hospitality, Cassy decides it's time to head home. She thanks him warmly for his kindness and assistance, expressing her gratitude for taking care of her.
“well it's actually my friend, you should thank"

“huh? ”

“yeah he told me to bring you here, it's surprising because he doesn't easily trust anyone”
He explains last night situation to cassy and she couldn't help but to feel embarrassed. Her cheeks became red due to embarrassment to which stephano chuckled.
“hey it's okay"
He gave her a reassuring smile.
“I want to sincerely thank your friend for saving me last night”
“right now he isn't here so it's okay I'll just pass your thanks to him"
“okay... But... ”
“you wanna say something? ”

“actually I won't feel at ease if I won't thank him myself, it's my nature I hope you understand”

“I totally understand... Let's exchange numbers I'll tell you when he will be available okay? ”

“oh thanks... Thank you very much"
“you can just call me Steph short for Stephano "
“okay"
“by the way you're so pretty "
Cassy started blushing on his complement“thank you and you are handsome too”
They both exchanged a laughter.
Cassy now wanted to leave for home,Stephano , understanding Cassy's need to get back, offers to call a cab to ensure Cassy reaches home safely.
They bid a farewell  to Stephano and left for home.

Leena and Asher wake up with a slight headache and a sense of guilt after a wild night of partying. They remember bits and pieces of the evening but are fuzzy about what happened after a certain point. Concerned about Cassy's whereabouts, they decide to call her and apologize for any drunken antics they might have indulged in.

Cassy receives their call, Leena's voice is filled with concern as she asks, "Cassy, where did you go last night? We lost track of you, and we're really sorry if we caused any trouble."

Cassy reassures them, "Don't worry, guys. I'm safe. A kind stranger found me and brought me to their home. They took care of me, and I'm feeling much better now."

Leena and Asher let out sighs of relief, grateful that Cassy is alright. They apologize again for their behavior, promising to be more responsible in the future. Cassy understands, knowing that everyone can have a wild night now and then.
Cassy finally arrives home, greeted by her worried father who asks, "Cassy, where were you? I was so worried!"

Feeling exhausted and still nursing a headache from the previous night's events, Cassy explains, "Dad, my phone died while I was out with Leena. I'm sorry I didn't call. We were at a friend's place"

Her dad's concern eases upon hearing this, but he reminds her gently about the importance of staying in touch and being responsible. Cassy nods, acknowledging his words, and heads straight to her room. She throws herself on her bed, feeling the weight of the night's events and the need for rest.

With a sigh, Cassy drifts off to sleep, the events of the chaotic night gradually fading.
