While on our way to the hotel, I received a text message from an unknown number.
"You can't escape my wrath, you little slut! I'll make sure you'll pay for this. I'll make you pay for this, you slut! You destroyed my home, and I'll make sure to destroy you and leave you with nothing. An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth."
My hands are shaking while reading the message. Although the sender did not reveal her identity, there is only one person who can curse me like this.
"What's wrong?" Baekhyun asked. He must've seen how I reacted.
"Nothing." I said and forced a smile.
He reached for my hand and smiled.
"Everything will be fine, okay? Don't worry about it. I told you, I have it fixed with Atty. Tiangco's help."
I nodded and put my head on his shoulder. Ah yes, this feels nice. I calmed down a bit.
He is my peace in this messy circus.
He wanted to get just one room but I insisted on getting two. This is for his safety. He cannot be seen sharing a hotel room with a woman.
"It's the end for your career once you get caught sharing a room with me. So no, we'll have two rooms."
He sighed. I won. But he's sulking beside me. Pffft. A grown up man acting like a child again? No, not in my country. Kidding.
Good thing the hotel has a vacant connecting room. His face lit up as soon as he heard it. The moment he stepped inside the hotel lobby, he instantly caught the attention of some people. So we decided to go up separately.
I'm physically tired because of our flight and emotionally drained because of what happened in front of my house. The moment I saw the bed, I literally jumped into it and closed my eyes. I can't believe that after six months, Mrs. Ramirez would still believe that I seduced her husband and that I am his other woman. I just wish someone could tell her and make her realize that she's barking at the wrong tree. I dozed off at that thought.
I woke up because of a loud banging on the connecting door. I opened my eyes and I am surprised that it is completely dark. Did I sleep that long? We reached the hotel at around 2 in the afternoon and seeing how dark it is, I must've really had a good sleep.
I stood up and went to the connecting door where Baekhyun was violently knocking. I opened the door and a tipsy Baekhyun surprised me.
"Annyeong." He said and even waved at me. I noticed that he's still holding a bottle of wine in his hand.
He entered my room and looked everywhere. He even checked my bed.
"What are you doing the whole time?" He turned to me and asked.
"I was sleeping. It was a tiring day. Oh, what time is it?"
"It's 11 freaking pm, lady. I've been knocking at that damn door since forever." He said and drank from the bottle that is in his hand. "I called you hundreds of times but you did not answer for a reason I don't know. Perhaps, you're busy with something, or someone?
I don't know if it is because he's tipsy but he sounds different. I have seen him drunk before but he's never like this.
"What are you trying to say? Stop beating around the bush."
"Hah! Nevermind."
I shook my head. I don't want to engage with his attitude right now, but I'll make him pay once he's sober.
"Look, today was a tough day for me, please spare me from whatever bullshit you have. And I am not busy with anything. I just slept the whole afternoon." I don't want us to fight but hud sharp glare is very annoying. "If you don't believe me, then it's your problem. Get out of my room and rot in your own damn room!" I shouted.
