Arianna was now certain that she was completely drunk. She saw an object in double and her eyes were dizzy. She belched and took the last drop of the alcohol, gulping it down.
The club was noisy and the dancers were having fun. But what mattered to Arianna was completely different. She hadn't come for fun but to forget her misery and heartbreak.
She was supposed to be a bride the next morning, walking down the aisle with her heartthrob and best friend for five years. They had anticipated that day to come but in less than twenty four hours, the hope of seeing that day come true was trashed.
The memory of what she saw played itself again in her head "...oh my days!...fuck me harder Ethan baby...oh...good...faster...oh...yeah...I love you Ethan…"
Arianna shook her head as if by doing so, the memory of it would disappear. She cleaned the tears off her face. Why can't she just forget, she'd been in the club for a few hours now, trying to forget that ugly scene she stumbled upon.
But the more she tried to forget, the harder it became. She tried standing up but ended up sinking back into her seat. She summoned up her strength and stood up.
She needed to visit the washroom and after that, find a way of helping herself out of the club. Her legs were heavy and as she walked, her knees wobbled.
Just before turning, she saw a tall figure walking into one of the rooms and she followed. She went in just before he shut the door and rested her back on the door.
"Hey, handsome. Why don't you make me happy?" She smirked and threw herself into his arms. She started kissing him, an act that the man was reluctant to get down with.
A few hours later, Arianna opened her eyes with a panting headache. She glanced around the dark room and wondered how she got in there.
A vague memory of how the evening went popped up in her head and she gasped. She turned to look at her side and saw a man sleeping peacefully.
What the hell had she done? She stood up with great difficulty. She doesn't need to be told that she has lost her most cherished possession: her virginity.
The pain she felt between her thighs was proof enough that she had been violated. She endured the pain and put on her jeans and blouse and pulled out a $100 note, stuck it in the man's hand.
The room is dark, thank goodness she didn't get to see how the man looks. He's a good gigolo but she couldn't pay him well for his services.
She sneaked out of the room and went away. She went straight to her mini apartment to get a few things and leave Z-city but was dazed when the lock to her apartment had been changed.
It was barely dawn and she couldn't ask her neighbours what or who changed her lock. But then,she decided to fetch her phone and called the agent handling her apartment.
When she got her phone, she saw there had been a text message. It was from Ethan. She glanced and read the content "Don't bother why the lock was changed, I did it".
Arianna simply turned and left her apartment and everything she got in it and went to another city.
Two months later, Arianna woke up and felt lazy to get out of bed. She wondered why she caught a fever so soon, just arriving at a new city.
She decided to visit the hospital and met a young doctor, he was the one on call and after examining Arianna, he sent her to the laboratory for a test.
When the result was brought, the doctor handed it over to her and she glanced over it. Her hands shook when she saw the test result.
Pregnancy Test -positive!
What!
Four years later
Arianna came back from work and her son ran to hug her. She lifted him off his feet and kissed his cute temple.
"Welcome Mummy" the little boy chimed, excited at the sight of his mother. "Missed you Eli" Arianna chimed, holding him firm and sitting on the sofa.
"Thank you, Mrs Brook for always looking after him" Arianna said, appreciating Eli's nanny.
Mrs Brook had looked after Eli since he was a baby. She's best referred to as his second mother. Arianna was his birth mother but Mrs Brook raised him.
"You're welcome," Mrs Brook replied. She Soon said goodbye to Arianna and went home. She's done with the day's job the moment Arianna comes back.
Arianna got a job with a company and she's been employed to work as a junior jewellery designer. She's been working there after Eli was born but then, it seemed her time in the company had ended.
The company has been sold out to a new owner and all the employees have been paid off. She was paid three times her salary and her appointment terminated.
"How was school today,Eli?" Arianna asked. The little boy got off her thighs and ran off to bring his books. Arianna saw how smartly he ran off and smiled.
He's her consolation and the reason why she didn't get hurt again after what happened a few years ago. Each time she looks at her son, she's glad and happy that she was blessed with such an amazing son.
"Mummy, I got all the marks in the class exercise. My teacher said I'm the best" Eli chimed, emptying his bag and bringing out his workbook.
"Wow, you are the best Eli" Arianna praised him. The little boy was happy that his mother was as excited as him in his classwork.
"Eli, we are leaving for Z- city tomorrow" Arianna broke the news to him. The boy paused and next jumped up in excitement.
"That means, I'm getting to meet my daddy. '' He asked rhetorically.

Arianna's smile lost its flavour at Eli's question. She had told him once when he asked her about his daddy. She simply told him that his daddy was in Z-city.
But that was a mere distraction she gave him back then. How can she know who his daddy was when she doesn't even know the name of the man she had a one-night stand with nor how he looked facially?
"Yes baby, hopefully" she replied, forcing a smile on.
The next day, Arianna arrived at the airport. From Los Angeles to Z-city, it's a few hours flight. She dragged her luggage with one hand and held her son with the other.
Eli's looks attracted, a few smiles and a lot of waves of hand. Some blew him kisses and those close to him took his little hand in theirs. Arianna was long used to this charm that Eli carries wherever he appears.
He is cute and adorable though, but Arianna doesn't want to believe that his appearance was capable of taking away the breath of eight out of ten people they come across.
Maybe one day, he will become a model and will grow into a celebrity. She looked forward to it. Eli will definitely be a good fit for a child model.
As she hailed a cab to take her to an apartment, she sighed. She had searched overnight and saw a few empty single-bedroom flats and she contacted the company.
She paid and told the agent she was moving in the next day. She was glad she at least got such a cheap apartment to put up with her son.
She looked at the buzzing city, the one she had lived for twenty one years of her life. That houses her childhood and youthful years.
She left without looking back and now, she has returned. She will live her life, away from those who hurt her and made her leave her home city.
She remembered what happened four years ago and didn't feel hurt anymore. She has moved on with her life and she's certain Ethan has been married to Daisy already, at least she guessed so
She is living for herself and her son. Just for the two of them. Eli was the most important thing in her life now and she would work hard to give him the best that she can afford.
Arianna settled into her apartment and for the next three days, she kept sending emails to various companies who placed an advert. She hopes she gets a new job soon.
She needed to enroll her son in a new school. An average middle class school. She might not be able to afford expensive schools where rich kids attend but her son wasn't going to get the least either.
She bought second hand cheap furniture and gave her single bedroom apartment a fairly good looking taste. Eli was happy and said their apartment was the best.
The next day, Arianna was called for an interview and before noon, she was hired. It's a small company, just trying to find its feet but told Arianna that they hope she grows with them.
The salary was not much but it was better than nothing. It's a good start and she wasn't ready to despise the day of a little beginning.
She accepted the job and was to resume the next day. She asked around and found a playground more like a creche where she could put Eli when she goes to work.
That settled, she sighed and looked forward to her resumption the next day. She would strive to be the best she could and hope for the best and better opportunity.
She resumed work and everything went well for the first two days. On the third day, her boss called her to his office and told her that a powerful personality in Z-city was visiting their company.
If he feels impressed with them, he might invest in them and make them partners. This would be a stepping stone their company has been looking forward to.
Arianna should ensure that she gets herself ready and be punctual because they were going to present her as the company's head of designers.
Arianna said okay and prepared her mind, in case the 'powerful personality' asked her some important questions.
Before the lunch hour, the secretary came toward her and whispered "he's here" in a low tone. Who is here? Arianna was going to ask when she remembered, the powerful personality in Z-city was visiting their company.
She looked out of the window and saw a fleet of cars arriving and a Lamborghini in the midst. They had arrived and parked the car in the parking lot.
His presence already attracted a crowd and a few employees were peeping like she was doing. Journalists rushed into the premises with their microphones and within five minutes, the whole place was crowded.
Arianna was dazed. How can a single man possess so much power and affluence? She kept looking through the window and just as the man was about to step out,her boss called her to be present in the conference room.
She quickly composed herself and walked smartly. Her dress was not the expensive type but it was decent, clean and well ironed.
She was in the conference room with a few other managers but her boss had gone to welcome the 'powerful personality'. Soon, four men walked into the conference room, all dressed in black suits.
There are two men in suits on both sides and a path was created in the middle where a tall slim figure walked through.
As soon as he stepped into the conference room, there was silence everywhere. His presence seemed to carry a supernal aura and the atmosphere seemed to change from the ordinary.
He didn't say a word but went to take a seat. Only after he sat down did Arianna and the other Managers sat down.
Arianna's boss quickly got to work and introduced his employees who were present. The 'powerful personality' didn't care enough to glance at those who were being introduced.
The tense atmosphere wouldn't let Arianna raise her head to glance at the 'powerful personality'. How can someone be this strong and domineering?
His girlfriend or wife might be someone created with a special level of immunity to tolerate such a man around her.
Meanwhile, Arianna's boss started by saying they are now venturing into design and have employed a competent hand which will pioneer this department.
"Miss Jason, can you show us your portfolio and samples of previous work?" Her boss requested and looked towards Arianna.
Arianna snapped her head up and stared at her boss. She looked lost and confused. Portfolio, sample of works?
She didn't prepare any of these and she wasn't told to bring them along. She looked around at the other managers and they gestured to her to respond.
"Ahh sorry excuse me, I will go get it" she declared and dashed off. Before she returned the 'powerful personality' had left.
