Many unforseen incidents can happen to someone but this one was beyond Bradley's understanding.
In the apartment her was with the drunk beauty, all that took place ignited the his fire down there.
Although the drunk beauty went to take a shower to refreshen by Bradley's suggestion to help her sober but came back even more drunk.
"So what's you name prince charming?
Wait! Let me tell you mine first.
I'm Dorian. The owner of this hotel."
She introduced herself.
It was then did Bradley realize why she had a golden access card that could open his booked apartment. She was the owner of this place and that made sense.
"I'm Raphael from Australia. I just came to Russia to meet a friend." Bradley lied straight to her face without even batting an eye.
"By the way, why are you so drunk and what is reason for crying?." Asked her.
She looked at Bradley's face from the bed she was sitting on a cried again.
Bradley couldn't bear seeing the tears in her eyes so he went to sit beside on the bed to soothe her.
Out of nowhere, she hugged him tightly and began to cry more.
Bradley who's shirt was soaked with tears had no option but to bear it like that. After about 5 minutes of cry, she raised her head from Bradley's bosom and apologised.
"No need to be sorry. I know that you need to do that to clear your head.
Let me go shower first and let's have a talk later. Okay?" He asked and Dorian nodded.
Right after Bradley entered the bathroom, Dorian felt like something precious to her is gone.
"What I'm even thinking?
Where did I even get the guts to occupy someone's apartment with my royal access card?
And here I am, going to spend a night with a stranger I accidentally met.
But he's cute and handsome. His body fragrance even made me sober.
How I wished that he was the one."
While she was nightdreaming, Bradley finished his bath and wore a black pajamas to the room.
Dorian came to her senses when the body fragrance of Bradley filled the room they were in.
Unknowingly to her, both her cheeks were red from blushing.
Bradley went and sat beside her like he first did when she was crying.
"Okay so do you want to share your sad story with me?
Maybe I might even be able to help you."
He asked her but she shook her head.
"It is nothing serious. You don't have to bother yourself with it." She answered with her head down. She couldn't lie straight to Bradley's face so she had to keep her head down.
"Okay since you said you are fine..."
Bradley stood up from the bed.
"...then goodnight. See you tomorrow."
"Wait!" Dorian tried to stop Bradley but he already left for the other room in the apartment.
For the whole night, she couldn't even close her eyes for 30 seconds.
She stood up quietly from her bed around midnight and tiptoed towards Bradley's room like a burglar.
Slowly, she opened his door a little without making any noise. From there, with her right eye, she peaked through the space that was created from opening the door a little to see if Bradley was already asleep. To her surprise, he was sitting crossed leg on his bed with his eyes closed.
"It seems that he's also a cultivator"
She said that. Just after she, Bradley's eyes opened looked straight into the eye she was using to peak at him.
Dorian stumbled and fell to the ground.
What caused her to be frightened was being caught by Bradley but it was the eyes he used to look at her.
His pupils were of nine different colors like a rainbow.
"Are you going to enter or stay on the floor?" He calm yet manly voice entered her ears.
She stood up from the floor and entered the room. She looked at Bradley's face to see if she would see his colorful eyes again but it had returned to normal.
She walked slowly towards Bradley on the bed like a nervous child.
"Actually I couldn't sleep and I wondering that if..."
"If what?" Bradley asked with interest to know her story.
"If-if." She tried explaining herself but couldn't find the right words.
"If I could accompany you to sleep right?"
"Yes!" She hurriedly answered.
"Then why are you still standing there?
Come sleep beside me." He tapped the space beside him signalling her that that's her assigned place to sleep.
Like a child that has been called for a candy, she rushed to Bradley's side and sat beside him.
"Why couldn't you sleep?"
Bradley asked her out of curiosity.
She started to twist the edge of her revealing nightgown when Bradley asked her that.
"Since you are the prince charming who saved this damsel, I will tell you everything.
I was so low and drunk earlier because of an arranged marriage my papa arranged for me to some idiot, spoilt ugly rich kid who's even younger than me. From childhood, I have been living in seclusion with strict measures ensuring that my identity isn't known to others and I don't disgrace my family. While most of my relatives were out there in America, United Kingdom and Australia that you are from, I and my little brother were being kept from the whole and were being thought nonsense.
My papa and mama would always be like 'dochter, all that we are doing is to prepare you and make you perfect for your fiance'.
Every time I tried to do what they say and never ask anything in return.
The only thing I asked from them was for me to have a say in choosing who I want to spend the rest of my life with but the respond I got from my papa was a slap. I was so heartbroken that I couldn't stay at the house so I sneaked out and bought this hotel where I usually sleep. This morning, I had a call from my papa and he said that he knee where I was so its either I come home myself or he would come for me.
He also added that my fiancé would be pay us a visit soon so I should come home before that happen.
After the day after tomorrow, I would be sold to an idiot spoil ugly rich kid for the rest of my miserable life." She ended her story with crystal tears falling from her beautiful eyes.
Bradley hugged her and comforted her.
"Can you do me a favour?" She asked after she was done crying.
"Since this prince charming saved this damsel, it wouldn't hurt to do her a favour."
"Hahaha! Indeed it wouldn't hurt.
Since I would be sold the day after tomorrow, can you be the prince charming that saved this damsel tomorrow too?"
With a hopeful heart, she asked.
"It would cost you a lot for my service you know?
So how are you going to pay?" Asked with a cunning smile.
"They would depend on my satisfaction based on your service." She answered him.
Both of them looked at each other for a while and laughed.
After conversing for a while, she asked Bradley to hug her to sleep and happily did that.
