Chapter: 82
Her memory after drinking was foggy. She could only vaguely recall Caden taking her home before she fell asleep.
When she drifted into slumber, she had a dream.
In that dream, the man she slept with was incredibly attractive.
Feeling a wave of embarrassment, she quickly changed the topic. "Mr. Hopkins picked my song and gave me a generous reward. How about I take you out for dinner?"
Though Monica was still worried about her, she still agreed.
After ending the call, Alicia got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. She felt a slight soreness in her legs but didn't dwell on it.
That was until she caught her reflection in the mirror and noticed several hickeys on her neck.
Alicia froze, tugging down her collar slightly.
Her cheeks immediately turned red.
The marks on her neck were just the beginning. Her chest was also littered with faint bite marks.
Panic set in as she realized last night hadn't been a dream.
But...
But who could it have been?
Could it have been Caden?
Her legs buckled as she sank to the floor, holding her head in disbelief.
She had assumed it was all a fantasy, thinking she'd kissed some stranger in a dream. She couldn't believe how bold and forward she had been.
Alicia felt a deep sense of shame wash over her, bringing her close to tears. Desperate for some clarity, she rushed to the living room and turned on the smart camera's recording.
The footage appeared clearly on the screen.
In the video, Caden was kissing her while removing her clothes.
She even arched her chest to make it easier for him to continue.
It was wild and out of control.
Alicia's gaze dropped as she processed what she was seeing.
Alicia couldn't stand to watch any more of the recording.
Her face heated up as she quickly deleted the video, ensuring no trace remained.
After taking a moment to collect herself, she reasoned that Caden had left early and hadn't reached out since. Surely, he must have seen last night as just a one-time thing.
They were both drunk, after all.
It was simply a drunken mistake.
This thought brought her some comfort, but the discomfort in her body told a different story.
Not only were her legs sore and her waist aching, but there was another spot that throbbed.
She remembered how rough Caden had been that first night, and how the soreness had lasted for days.
