Roberta ended up being the first to open her eyes. The first word out of her mouth were a few cursed words in her native language simply because she felt like her whole body was in pain. She felt like she was running for whole day and was experience the aftereffect of it after barely any sleep.

But it was nothing when she found herself in the strange room, when she looked around she was dumbfounded to see that she was lying on the bed naked alongside others. She had some faint recollection of what happened but the massive headache was prohibiting her from thinking straight.

She remembered that they were drinking after dinner after which everything went blank, there was some flashbacks of seeing a handsome face along with twisting and moaning but it was foggy for the most part.

She used her tired hands to get out of the bed but her legs were wobbly, she was shocked to see what was underneath the blanket. It was her body but there were marks all over her body, especially her upper body which seemed to be littered with these bright red spots!

" What the fuck!" She finally understood what happened. From the sheering pain between her legs, it was evident that she was tortured!

" That bastard! I knew he was upto no good!" She gritted her teeth vowing to take revenge. He dared to not only lay his hands on her but everyone else too. Coupled with the state of her body, she was sure that she must have resisted but because she was drunk she couldn't defend herself.

Her mumblings and rustling had woken up others. One by one they opened their groggery eyes seeing the unfamiliar ceiling over their head. Alana and Helga woke up at the same time, they found that they were intimately hugging each other which made them scream out of shock.

" What the hell? Why am I naked?" Alana quickly tugged on the large blanket using it to cover herself up. Helga on the other hand blushed, she was the only one that remembered most of what happened and was aware what had transpired last night.

She didn't say anything just looked to her side to see Katarina's horrified face. Katarina who feared something like this would happen immediately knew that there was something wrong with her body especially her sacred part along with massive tiredness which made it hard for her to move around.

Genevieve woke up stretching herself, she had a massive hangover but it was nothing new for her. She was more concerned with everyone's reaction, wasn't it normal for them to feel like this after drinking themselves to death? Seeing their messy appearance, she felt she was missing something.

Meanwhile Samuel got out of shower and contemplated if he should face them or not. It was a tough choice 'hearing' their conversation through the wall. He dressed up and right as he walked outside, Henri was waiting for him with a fresh cup of tea.

Samuel didn't say anything and led him inside. Henri also didn't look him in the eye and prepared the tea for him.

" Just one teaspoon."

" Here, young master." Henri carried the cup up to him still not daring to look him in the eye. It was obvious that what Samuel predicted had already happen. Samuel took a sip first before saying.

" I concur that you already witnessed it?"

" I am sorry young master. I came to check up on you since Miss Elise has been clamoring for your presence but...I ended up-" Samuel cut him off.

" It's fine but don't let anyone else find out about it since It was merely an accident." He didn't blame the old butler even if he wanted to, the door was wide open when he woke up. It was no brainer that someone would eventually find him coupled with the fact that he overslept, he didn't even have a chance to hide anything.

" It was my fault. I should have-"

" I said it's fine. For now, just prepare a scrumptious meal for everyone. We will have lunch soon." Samuel freed him from his duties and tasked him to cook some delicious food.

Elise also didn't eat anything last night so she must be hungry. He also needed to inform Kayla and Mayra because they wanted constant updates on how Elise was doing but he decided not to do it since he still didn't know what to make out of all of this.

After finishing his tea, he also had some understanding of what happened last night not because he remember anything but because he was listening in on Helga's retelling of things through his super hearing.

Apollo had already warned him about few things. Ever since he gotten the Harem title, it was true that there was some part in his heart which was not ready to accept such a thing. He had gotten closer to many girls but because of his hesitation, he still hadn't resolved the situation with Liliana's sister Isabella as well as Kate and Bella's situation.

He decided to fly to LA after this week to meet up with them. Maia and Paris had also been warning him that situation was getting worse. He only had few weeks left before the shooting began so he needed to put everything in order before getting busy.

There were also some issues with the business side, he needed to lay the framework of another expansion since the money that he earned during the crisis had been sitting in his bank gathering dust.

There were many things that needed his attention, like the South Korea expansion as well as meeting up with Ze's family, these were minor events, major one was teaming up the royal family to hunt down the shadow organization.

With so much on his plate, he didn't want this situation to take up much of his time. He wanted to be straightforward and truthful. It was ultimately up to them what they make out of the situation. He could provide them with anything which would never make up for what happened but it was a start in the right direction.
