It was the weekend again, and Jace was working on his laptop when his phone rang.
Running a multi-million company kept him busy, even on weekends. He built his own company at such a young age, all because of his hard work and dedication. But he did manage to hang out with friends on weekends, going out in clubs and fu.cking some chicks. He loved to enjoy his life to the fullest.
But this weekend, he had to work on an important deal. So he was home.
His phone rang, and Sophie was calling him. She was supposed to go to a party with her college friends. He frowned to think why she would be calling him.
He picked up on seeing Sophie's number. "Hey, baby girl !" The nickname rolled out on his tongue.
"J.... Jace!" She stuttered. Her voice was unusual like she was scared.
"What happened, Sophie ?" A fear arose in his heart.
"J... Jace! I am not feeling well. I don't know what is happening to me. I.. I'm ....scared, Jace." Sophie's cracked voice came out from the phone speaker, and panic grew in his heart.
"Where are you? " He was worried.
" At ph...phoenix." She said.
Phoenix was a famous club there. Jace also usually hung out there with his friends.
"Stay there. I'm coming," Jace grabbed his car keys and ran out of the front door.
Sophie went to celebrate her classmate's birthday party. She told him she was going with her friends. So she couldn't see him that weekend. He was disappointed to hear it but happy that she would enjoy it with her friends.
Jace could not focus on work as it became a ritual to see her on weekends. He waited eagerly for the weekend. So he could see her bubbly smile when she filled him about her entire week with her sweet voice.
He missed her bright eyes that shone when she talked with her childish excitement. She was such a kid. A smile formed on his lips as he thought about her. But he frowned when he remembered her voice over the phone. She sounded scared.
He sped up his car. As soon as he reached Phoenix, he searched inside the crowd and found her in a corner.
Her body was shaking. She was sobbing and wiping her tears every time they came down her cheeks. His heart hurt seeing her like this.
" Baby girl, what happened? Why are you crying? Tell me what happened? " He asked as he panicked at seeing her crying like this.
"Jace !" She cried again and jumped into his arms, hiding her face in his chest.
Jace wrapped his arms around her to make her feel safe and comfortable.
When she didn't reply,
"What happened? " He asked again.
" I don't know .... I was having fun, and after having two drinks, I started feeling unusual. My body started burning, and my head was spinning. I couldn't see straight.. Ahhhh...." She clutched her head, unable to speak further. "Someone tried to touch me, and I ran away, hiding here since then."
"Shhhh... I got you. Don't worry. I am here now. " He tried to comfort her.
"Jace, please take me out of this place. I am feeling suffocating here." Her voice was very low. Her body was shaking continuously from crying.
Jace felt like hitting someone. If he found out who was responsible for her condition like this, he would kill them. But he composed himself.
This wasn't the time to lose his temper. He had his baby girl to take care of.
He closed his eyes to cool his anger and opened them again to look at her.
"Sure, baby girl. Let's go," Jace took her hand in his and left the club.
After he secured her in the passenger seat, he sat behind the wheel.
"Jace, why am I feeling so hot ... ahh?." She said, rubbing her neck. " Will you please speed up the air conditioning?"
Jace instantly turned the air-conditioning on full mode.
He looked at her. Her face was flushed. Her eyes were half closed as she was fighting to keep them open. Her hands were rubbing her neck and arms uncomfortably.
Reality hit him hard when he realized what was wrong with her.
She was drugged.
Shit...
His eyes widened, and he hit the breaks instantly as she was now removing her TOP...
Unconsciously, she was removing her top to ease the burning heat in her.
Pulling her top down, he asked her in confusion, " What are you doing, Sophie? We are in the middle of the road."
She was wearing a crop top and jeans.
" I..itss ...ssoo... HOTTT Jace. Can't wear these clothes." Sophia stuttered.
He cursed under his breath. " Please endure this and stay in your seat, Sophie. We are about to arrive, baby girl. "
She started rubbing her hands on her legs while chewing on her bottom lips. "Ummmm Jace ... Ahhhh... it's hurting inside ."
"We almost reached there, sweetheart. Stay seated. Hmmmn?" Jace tried to comfort her again.
He cursed again. This was going to be a very tough night. How was he going to handle this tall and dry girl looking so hot and cute at the same time?
She was so innocent. So pure. But right now, she was making these sounds and giving him those expressions that were so sexy and hot. God helped him. How was he able to fight the tension building in his car? He wished to turn this into a magic car so they could reach home with a snap of fingers.
He looked at her, closed his eyes, and started the car. Keeping his eyes straight on the road, trying to focus on driving, he just hoped to reach home as soon as possible, which was almost impossible because a hot Sophie was sitting beside him. Her sensual voice and behaviour made it difficult for him to focus on safe driving.
But he had to do it. So they could safely reach home. She was his responsibility.
This will be a really long, long night.
