Alex checked his cellphone. There's a message from Victoria. She said if a package had been sent for him. Alex immediately descends to find Jonathan.
"Dad, is there a package for me?" asked Alex. He sat in a mini bar chair located in front of Jonathan.
"There are. Two packages arrived today. One for Max. One for you." Jonathan moved his chin towards the two boxes on the table.
"Drink your milk first." Jonathan handed a glass of vanilla milk in front of Alex.
"Where's Max?" asked Jonathan.
"He's sleeping. I'll carry the package upstairs," replied Alex. He put the empty glass on the table. He casually picked up two packages wrapped in cardboard and carried them to the room on the second floor.
"What's that cardboard?" asked Max. He's awake.
"This is from Victoria. I feel strange. Why does she keep giving us gifts, I have a feeling I say this is not good," said Alex.
"Maybe, she likes you," Max teased.
"Damn," said Alex, making Max laugh. "Don't be happy just yet, that one package is for you."
Max got out of bed. He checked another box and found his name written on it.
"I'm curious about what's inside," said Max. He began to open the package.
They got some clothes made by Victoria. In the package there is also a paper. Message from Victoria for Alex and Max to wear one of the dresses she gave them for tonight's party. Alex felt Victoria's attention was too much. But Max was very happy.
"Are you happy to have a gift from a woman you don't know?" asked Alex.
"Of course. Especially if she's pretty."
"Poor you," Alex disagreed with Max's answer.
Alex kept thinking that Victoria's attitude was unusual. Generally, someone gives gifts only on certain days or certain moments. If a gift is given for no apparent reason, usually the person who gives it has a hidden desire. This thought made Alex wary of Victoria. He believes, nothing is free in this world.

Royale Hotel
Victoria's birthday celebration night was so festive. Many famous people from among artists and businessmen attended. Jonathan is right. Victoria is quite famous in Sydney.
"Welcome Alex, Max and Jonathan," Victoria welcomed Jonathan and family.
"Thank you for inviting us," Jonathan replied.
"Enjoy it."
Victoria invited all to sit at the table that had been provided. The signboard on the table reads 'Jonathan family'. It seems like not everyone can attend a fancy birthday party. All invitees are in the list.
The emcee immediately started the event with great fanfare. The waiters serve glasses filled with cocktails on the table. When the big birthday cake entered the room, everyone's singing. After the chanting stopped Victoria blew out the candle. Everyone clap for him. The cake-cutting ceremony began. Victoria was asked to hand over her first cake to a special person. With enthusiasm, Victoria cut her first cake. However, unexpectedly she handed her first cake to Alex.
"Please accept it," Victoria asked with a hopeful face.
Alex was confused, but because all eyes were on him. He immediately accepted the cake.
"Tonight I hope to dance with Alex. That is the best gift for me."
Victoria stretched her hand out in front of Alex. For a moment, Alex begins to understand the desire behind all the kindness of the beautiful woman before him. Like what Alex thought. Nothing is free in this world.
"Alex, take his hand. Be polite," whispered Jonathan.
Alex was forced to take Victoria's hand. When he stood up. Victoria quickly pulled Alex's hand around her slim waist. Music plays. Alex's footwork kept pace with Victoria's. Many eyes stared enviously at Victoria. Alex looks very handsome and attractive to everyone's eyes.
"I love being so close to you," whispered Victoria. She hugged Alex.
"This is what you want." Alex replied to Victoria's words.
Alex breathed a sigh of relief when the music stopped. Automatically the dance is over. He left Victoria and returned to sit with Jonathan and Max. He drink a glass of cocktail in front of him.
"Lex. I don't think you're used to drinking alcohol," Jonathan warned.
Alex was surprised. He forgot. "Gosh, I forgot. I'm going to the toilet for a bit."
Alex immediately looked for a toilet. He wants to wash his face. But in the hotel hallway Alex felt the floor spinning. He staggered towards the toilet. Victoria, who had been following him, smiled thinly. She immediately supported Alex.
"Where do you want to go?" asked Victoria.
"Toilet, please," replied Alex.
Victoria takes Alex to the toilet in her room. Alex immediately washed his face. Hoping that the influence of Alcohol will soon disappear from him. However, he still felt dizzy.
"Drink this," Victoria handed him a glass of water. Alex drink it up.
Strange, Alex actually felt another sensation. He felt even more excited. Seeing the beautiful and sexy Victoria, Alex's body immediately reacted. He felt unnatural symptoms after drinking the water Victoria gave.
"What drink did you give me?" asked Alex.
Victoria laughed. He pushed Alex who immediately fell onto the bed.
"Take it easy. It's just a stimulant."
Alex was surprised. He tried to get up, but Victoria held him back. She pushed Alex back down on the bed.
"Please, let me go," said Alex, who was helpless.
"Shh," Victoria placed her index finger over Alex's lips. "Tonight we will both have fun. I want you Alex. You are mine," said Victoria.
Alex shook his head. With the rest of his strength he pushed Victoria away. Then, half staggering Alex tried to grab the doorknob.
"Alex, you are mine!" Victoria immediately grabbed Alex and pushed him against the wall.
"You're crazy," said Alex.
Victoria did not answer. She tugged on Alex's head and then kissed his lips. She also took off Alex's buttons one by one. Until a knock on the door makes Victoria's wish unfulfilled.
"Lex, are you in the room?" Jonathan's voice.
"Dad, I'm here!" Shouted Alex. He took the opportunity to get out of the room. Victoria couldn't help it.
"What happened?" Jonathan is worried about Alex's condition.
"I want to go home." That's all Alex's answer.
Jonathan carried his out of the hotel. Arriving at the car, Alex is put to sleep in the middle seat. Max, who saw Alex's condition, was confused.
"Why is his tensing up?" asked Max, looking at the bump in Alex's trousers that looked stiff.
"Someone mixed Alex's drink," said Jonathan.
Max feels sorry to see Alex's condition. Who has evil plans on his brother. Lucky Jonathan had time to find it. If not, surely tomorrow morning Alex would fly somewhere else with a very strange person by his side. Maybe if it's beautiful it doesn't matter, but if it's ugly or scary how about it. Max couldn't imagine. Whatever the reason, what happened is called harassment.
