Fixed Married to the Arrogant CEO

Chapter 23

Amethyst's POV

I groaned sleepily as I felt something heavy by my stomach.

I squirmed a little and slowly fluttered my eyes open.

I frowned as I looked at my body to identify the heavy object.

My eyes widened when I saw that it was an arm.

I cautiously turned my head around to look at who the owner was.

I almost screamed when I saw a man beside me but I stopped myself.

Oh ghad.

Oh hell no.

I did not just.

Oh fck.

Fck my life.

I gulped as I lifted the blanket covering my body to confirm my assumptions.

I wanted to scream.

I wanted the bed to just eat me up whole.

How could I let this happen?

Ghad!

I carefully slipped off the bed and got a blanket to cover my naked body.

I glanced at the man whom I committed the deed with.

I almost fainted when I recognized the man.

Sht.

Out of all the men that I could've had a one night stand with?

It really had to be him?

Devon Shaw?

I wanted to just hit my head on the wall but I stopped myself.

I needed to get out of this room without a bleeding head atleast.

I rushed to pick up my clothes and slipped them on as quickly as I could.

I need to get out of here and fast.

I am not going to let that man see me leaving this room after I lost...

One, my virginity.

Two, my dignity.

And three, my sanity.

I succeeded in dressing up and carried my heels and purse in my hands as I basically ran out of the hotel room.

I didn't look back.

I just ran.

I gave myself a scolding while I was in the elevator.

How much did I drink to lose my sanity?

And for Pete's sake, why him?

I could've picked a better stranger.

Ugh!

I did the walk of shame as I ran out of the hotel then I got into a taxi to go back to my apartment.

I tried so hard to hide my face in shame.

How I wish that the ground would just eat me up alive.

This is embarrassing.

Since when did I become the kind of girl who does one night stands?

I got off the taxi after I paid and I ran to my apartment.

I arrived there without anyone else seeing me.

I immediately got into the shower.

I thoroughly washed myself hoping that it will erase my sins.

But a girl can dream.

I felt so frustrated.

What irks me even more is the fact that no matter how horrible the situation was, I couldn't ignore the feeling in my yooho down there.

I was still very much sore.

I sighed as I held myself up by holding on to the wall.

I closed ny eyes and flashes of memories from last night appeared in my mind.

I immediately opened my eyes and started hitting my head on the bathroom wall.

I finished getting myself cleaned before I could make my head bleed inside the bathroom.

If I'm lucky I'll only have amnesia.

If I'm not, I'll leave this world with a shameful secret.

I dried myself up and got out the bathroom in a robe.

Then, I grabbed my phone from my purse.

I saw the missed calls from Celine and my brother.

I held my head and massaged it in frustration.

Aside from the soreness down there, my head also hurt because of the hangover.

I swore that from now on, alcohol is my enemy.

Never again.

Nope.

I gave my brother a call first.

"Amy! Thank ghad! Why weren't you picking up my calls since last night?"

"I'm sorry, Ady. I was caught up in something. Why? What's wrong? Is Ara okay?" I asked worried now.

"She's fine. What's not fine is you. Mother kept calling me last night and said that you slipped away from your guards to go to a bar"

I coughed.

"About that. I accompanied my best friend. Sorry" I said embarrassed.

Ady sighed from the other line.

"It's fine. Anyway, our flight is in 3 hours, don't forget"

"I won't" I said.

"Okay. I'll see you then"

"Okay. Bye" I said and we dropped the call.

Then, I called Celine.

She immediately picked up.

I actually expected her not to.

"Amethyst Beverly Wright! Where the hell did you disappear to last night?!"

I bit my lower lip.

"Sorry. Uhm...something came up so I left without a notice" I halg lied.

Something really did come up after all.

"And you couldn't call to tell me? Or even text me?"

I sighed.

"I'm sorry, Celine. I really am" I said.

Celine sighed from the other line.

"It's fine as long as you are. Are you? Are you fine?"

"I am. I'm completely fine" I lied.

No, I'm not fine.

I just did a one night stand and I'm very disappointed in myself.

"Okay. Anyways, I can't see you off but promise me that you'll take care"

"I promise I'll take care" I said.

"Good. Now, I can finally sleep in peace because I know that you weren't kidnapped or anything"

I chuckled.

"Sorry. Anyways, take care" I said.

"Okay. Bye, babe. I'll see you when I see you" she said.

We dropped the call.

I flopped down my couch.

I hate this kind of feeling.

Damn it.

I forced myself to go to the kitchen and made myself coffee.

Then, I checked my baggage for my flight.

After that, I got prepared and left my apartment.

I just wanted to get out of here as soon as I could.

I'm pretty sure that Shaw wouldn't bother looking for his one night stand but if I was wrong, I wouldn't want to hear in New York for him to find.

I took a taxi and stopped over to a pharmacy.

I was wearing a hoodie and shades hoping no one will ever recognize.

Then, I bought birth control pills.

I'm not trying to conceive no child.

Nah-uh.

I don't think I'll ever be ready for that.

I'm willing to have a niece or nephew but a son or a daughter is a whole different level of NO.

I got back to the taxi and asked to be dropped off the airport.

I took the pills in the taxi and hid them in my carry on bag.

It didn't take too long for me to arrive at the airport.

I paid up and got off.

I headed straight to where I'm supposed to meet up with Ady and Ara.

I immediately saw them with a bunch of guards.

I almost rolled my eyes.

Ady saw me and slightly waved at me.

"Amy!" Ara squealed and hugged me.

"Hey" I greeted her with a smile.

"Are you okay? Ady and I couldn't contact you last night" she said.

I gave ger a small smile.

"Oh I'm fine" I assured her and she smiled.

"Well, let's go. We don't want to be late for our flight" Ady said.

Ara and I nodded and followed him.

We got into our flight in no time.

I just sat on my seat quietly as I questioned my choices in life.

For once, I'm glad I'm going back to California.

I'll be away for some time and hopefully by then, Shaw has forgotten about me.

I'm sure that he's done a ton of one night stands.

I'm nothing special.

I mean, I'm sure I wasn't the first woman who he encountered who still had their v-card, right?

Right?

I slapped myself in frustration and Ara looked at me shocked.

"Are you okay, Amy? Why are you hitting yourself?" Ara asked concerned.

I chuckled awkwardly.

"It's just the hangover. I'm trying to sober up" I lied.

I did hope that was the reason but it wasn't.

I sighed and just looked out the window.

I really fcked up.

No doubt about that.

I ended up falling asleep the whole flight and Ara woke me up.

We got off the plane and left the airport in a car that Ady asked for.

I looked around.

I'm really back here huh.

"What do you girls want to eat before we go home?" Ady asked.

"Anything is fine with me" I said.

"Ady, can we go some place with hot soup for hangovers?" Ara suggested as she glanced at me.

"Of course" Ady said.

I gave Ara a smile and snuggled beside her.

Oh forget it.

I should just erase the whole memory from my brain.

I had more important things to think about right now than losing my virginity to a person who annoys me to the core just by existing.

I had to think of the situation I was in right now.

We stopped by a restaurant and had a warm meal that cured my hangover.

"Do you usually go to clubs?" Ady suddenly asked as we were eating.

I immediately shook my head.

"No. Of course not" I denied.

Ady raised a brow at me.

"I swear" I said.

Ady sighed.

"And you went just because of your friend?" Ady asked.

I nodded.

"Hearing this now, your friend doesn't seem like a very good influence" Ady pointed.

I chuckled.

He's right about that.

"You sound like a parent. Not our parent but a parent" I said.

Ady and Ara laughed.

We continued to eat and then, finished up.

After that, we headed back in the car to go to our parents' house.

I looked out of the window as I watch the familiar places we passed by.

I didn't think I'd even come back here after all those year.

I always thought that I'd never step here in California again.

I even refused offers from here just so I can avoid coming back.

But here I am with no choice.

And I'm in a situation where there's no turning back.

By the time that I leave this place again, I'll probably be married.

Married to a person that I don't even know.

Married to a person because I was forced to do so.

How depressing is that?

I sighed.

After a while, we arrived at a familiar mansion.

I'd say that I missed this place but I didn't.

I really didn't.

The helpers opened the door for us and got off the car.

I went to Ara's side and she held my hand nervously.

I just put on a neutral expression as we made our way inside.

I looked around.

This place hasn't changed a bit.

It was well maintained.

Even the same suffocating feeling was still there.

"Miss Amara, Miss Amethyst" the butler greeted us.

He looked at me.

"It's been so long since I last saw you, Miss Amethyst. You've grown up to become a fine woman" he said.

I gave him a small smile.

"Long time no see, Bailey" I said and he bowed his head to us.

"We made sure to clean your rooms for your come back. I'm sure you'll both be pleased" Bailey said.

Ara and I nodded and headed upstairs.

"Do you want to stay in your room alone or do you want to come into mine?" I asked Ara as we went up.

"Can I just stay in yours?" she asked.

I nodded.

"Sounds like a plan" I said.

Ara smiled.

We asked the helpers to drop her stuff in my room.

I opened the familiar doors and was greeted by the familiar room.

It hasn't been changed even after all these years of being gone.

I wasn't too sure how to feel about it.

I turned to look at Ara who was sitting on

on my bed.

"You should ckean up and get some rest. You must be tired from the flight" I said.

Ara nodded.

Ara went to the bathroom to wash up while I headed to my balcony.

I looked around as I admired the same beautiful scene.

This is the one thing that isn't toi depressing in this house.

I took a deep breath as I closed my eyes.

After 7 years, I'm finally back in in Cali.
