The Shackles of Aileen's Love
One night only
...❄️...
...❄️...
...❄️...
Aileen blinked as she looked around; the unfamiliar bed, the unfamiliar room wall, the rope dangling above the bed, as well as the warm body of the man that Aileen had never seen before.
Damnit. Maybe that's the right word for Aileen to say at this time. Look at everything that happened last night.
With his condition and also the man who is beside him, anyone will know what they have done.
Aisss...really!
Aileen blinked and also rubbed her rough face. Feeling dizzy and uncomfortable now surrounds him.
Once again Aileen watched carefully who the man who was lying comfortably on his bed was.
Do I know you? Aileen frowning.
Aileen watched closely, staring at the slightly messy dark hair as well as her burly upper back muscles and ****.
The sight reminded her of the pain in some parts of her own body, Aileen shuddered.
There is no doubt when Aileen came out of the character she had been playing.
Young girls who always act mature and also responsible, stable and also always careful. But now Aileen has lost control..
Aileen who is mature by always trying to stay away from all problems, now just by stupidly throwing herself into a big ocean full of conflict.
It's completely out of his tolerance as a Marsden. In fact, you could say his current actions are not much different from the actions of naughty girls.
A bad girl who can't control herself until having a one-night romance.
...One night romance....
That thought made Aileen feel dizzy and somewhat nauseous. Plus when the memory of why he could arrive in this strange place again invaded his memory..
Aileen remembered..
...❄️...
At first, everything went as usual. Aileen went to the hotel and spent almost half her day working.
Aileen is a man who loves her job as a career woman who has carved her name in the field of business.
That's why after finishing his education, Aileen did not want to stay indoors like the daughters of the rich.
Aileen would be bored to death if she did something like that. And since four years ago Aileen has ventured to take responsibility as the owner of the Royal M.R Hotel.
That said, Aileen was always busy doing things. There is no time for him to take care of things related to the socialites especially about romance.
Aileen still hadn't thought of such a thing. Honestly speaking, Aileen was a little overwhelmed to be in a relationship with the opposite sex.
But suddenly in the afternoon which is still quite busy, he said, Papa Dave (how Aileen calls her father) calls and asks Sarah to drive Aileen to one of the restaurants that are still in the Marsden family's ownership sphere.
At first Aileen wanted to refuse. He was already quite busy with his hotel work, in retrospect, Aileen did not have much time to take care of things outside of meeting with clients and also reviewing in person the hotel he was managing.
But here Aileen now obeys papa Dave's request, like a sweet and submissive girl.
And unfortunately, Aileen did not have the slightest suspicion on the request until she met a foreign man who had been waiting for her.
The brown-haired man with a height that was far above Aileen. The man's netra was sapphire blue with a slightly mysterious smile the man immediately stood up upon discovering Aileen's whereabouts, as if they had known each other before..
"Let's miss. Mr. Alex is waiting for you." Sarah leads Aileen to the shirt where the man is.
Aileen simply complied while snorting with no interest. "Do you know her Sarah?" aileen asked still with an unchanging look on her face.
Honestly, Aileen is not interested in meetings like this, even though she is actually a little curious about the advantages of this man she will meet.
"Don't know, miss. It's just that the big master asked you to meet and have dinner with Mr. Alex." Sarah explained briefly.
"Don't you know which family that man came from?" aileen asked again before the two actually arrived at the table that was already on the reservation.
"The youngest son of the Rigger family miss." Sarah replied in a low voice.
Well, Rigger. Aileen knew that name well. The Riggers are the owners of a well-known IT company in Vegas.
And as far as Aileen knows, the company leadership has been taken over by the eldest son out Rigger, then what are the advantages of this man?
Just-there's. Thought Aileen. Upon arrival at the table where Alex was standing, Aileen simply stared at the man until the man made his first sound.
"Hi. I'm Alex" she said. Trying to smile kindly and still act a little mysterious.
"Aileen Marsden." Aileen also reached out to avenge the hand of the man named Alex.
"I know you must be confused." Alex puts his shoulders. "I was also at first confused, but I couldn't resist." Aileen frowning.
His head feels dizzy. As if he knew where the conversation was going. Matchmaking. What's again?
Is this papa Dave's will? Aileen blinked, then smiled faintly. "Did papa Dave ask you to meet me?" ask Aileen.
They don't have to mince words. If yes, then he knows the reason behind the meeting. It was clear that this was a matchmaking plan by each parent.
"really. But don't get me wrong." Alex tried to explain. "I don't hate this meeting. Even I like it. I hope we get to know each other better. Maybe, if you don't mind."
Aileen just flinching. Of course Aileen would not reject the invitation outright.
After all, Aileen would keep the honor of her parents. So whatever Dad wants, Aileen will try to make that happen. Including meetings like this.
"All right." said Aileen. Alex is smiling. Honestly, a guy like Alex is not an Aileen guy. Too ordinary. Doesn't make her flutter one bit.
"Sit down." Alex spoke more calmly. "Thank you." As the two spoke; sarah dodged and only watched from a distance.
"May I know what your job is?" Aileen again voiced out to melt the slightly awkward atmosphere between them. Although he may already know what answer he will hear.
The son of the owner of the IT company, let alone what he did other than continuing from what his parents had.
Or maybe the man in front of him has created his own company. Uninspiring.
"I'm an artist" Alex said, almost choking Aileen. Ice..it's embarrassing! Hurriedly Aileen took the napkin then wiped her mouth, awkwardly..
"I'm sorry, it's not that I want to be disrespectful" Aileen said hurriedly. Alex smiled at the reaction. This is not the first for him.
Having a family background like himself, of course, it would look strange if he was a little deviated from what others think of him.
Seeing the smile on Alex's face, made Aileen feel a little uneasy over her reaction just now.
"Hem. Youre right. I'm a painter. Just a little artist" he said, as if this kind of talk had been very common. But strangely enough, those eyes were filled with a twinkle of pride.
"Looks like your job. I'm sorry if that was.-"
"It's okay. Don't feel awkward." sidelines Alex. He's used to it. For now, Alex doesn't mind telling Aileen herself. Because Alex likes Aileen.
"I'm just a little painter. You won't find my name if you look for it in magazines or on the internet." Alex smiled again, acting as relaxed as possible.
Aileen tried to force out her awkward smile, "Really. Maybe sometime you can show me your work."
"certain. I look forward to that moment."
Until there, Aileen clearly remembered everything;
Then...
...❄️...
After the dinner with Alex ended, Aileen did not want to go home too soon, which is why Aileen returned to the hotel accompanied by Sarah. Mistake number one.
But instead of going to work or checking out the hotel as he often does, Aileen does something else, which is to spend the night at the bar on the top floor of the hotel.
Although still young, Aileen is quite accustomed to alcoholic beverages. He often spends his time tasting various types of drinks.
Well, although Aileen's tolerance for liquor is not very good. Mistake number two.
Oh God..What's this! vague memories again invaded Aileen..
At the bar, Aileen, who already has her own VVIP room, drinks with Sarah.
That's where Aileen would shed all her junk all day, and Sarah would listen in silence.
After some time, Aileen had spent a few glasses of her drink while continuing to grumble at Sarah.
He commented on many things, and also did not agree on many things. Including his meeting with Alex a few hours ago. For Aileen it felt burdening on her.
"Does papa Dave really love me Sarah?" Aileen kept babbling.
"How can papa Dave match me to an artist?" the first thing Aileen didn't like.
Want to think about it, Aileen really can't accept it.
"Can you imagine what it would be like if we were really married?" Aileen grunting.
"I would go to work here and there, from hotel to hotel, but my husband just stayed home to spend more time making friends with canvas and wet paint." Aileen was unceasingly grumbling.
"I won't put a tie or pick a suit for him. We cannot exchange ideas about work, nor can we fill each other. There every day I have to smell the paint and also see his body full of stains.''
"Do I have to judge his work? or buy it secretly so that my husband can have the income to finance our lives?"
Aileen was still grumbling after having finished the seventh or eighth glass, Sarah did not count, and just silently listened.
Since working as Aileen's bodyguard three years ago, little Sarah could understand how the attitude of the young girl who was currently his master.
A girl who pretends to be an adult in order to allay her father's worries.
And Aileen's efforts have been successful all along. It can be seen from how he is trusted to manage several hotels of his own.
But behind it all, Sarah always covered Aileen's reckless behavior as now.
Maybe Sarah could feel what if she was in that position, it would be exhausting.
The only way Aileen could amuse herself was with liquor. Say it as an impingement.
"But you didn't ask you to marry miss." said Sarah. "It's possible that you just want to add friends, that's all."
"You won't understand Sarah. My heart is really tired. I know what Papa Dave's goal really is. I have to marry the man you chose."
Aileen silence. His look was empty. "It's not fair to me Sarah. All this time I've been a good daughter. I've never done anything to disappoint Dad. But look.." Aileen again let out a heavy sigh. "Did papa Dave really think of me?"
"The man I met earlier, I have no feelings for him. Not even one of them could catch my attention. Although his face was quite handsome." he said with his head drooping over the cushion of the sofa. But suddenly Aileen stood staring intently at Sarah.
"Miss, what's wrong?" sarah said to be very alert. "I'm going to Sarah's toilet. Where do I go?" whining Aileen acted like a child.
This was if Aileen had already dealt with alcohol. The woman will be a little out of control.
But luckily there was Sarah. Regardless of Aileen's attitude and bad habits, Sarah can face everything calmly and professionally.
"Hold my hand, lady. I'll show you the way." Sarah reached out to Aileen. Suddenly, the hand was cut off.
"I'm not Sarah's little boy. Just show me the way." Aileen snorted as she fixed her slightly raised skirt. This is what Sarah meant.
Sarah can only do as the lady wants. Sarah walked ahead of Aileen so that the girl could follow her like a guide.
Midway to the toilet, instead of following Sarah properly, Aileen turned to the opposite direction.
Even accidentally he entered the room area belonging to someone else. It was there that Aileen was completely entangled in someone.
A man so conspicuous among a bunch of other men. Even from his current distance, Aileen could smell the scent emitting sharply from the man's body.
Mythical creatures. The guy over there looks like that. And crazy again, with this kind of dim lighting, Aileen's eyes could clearly capture how the man smiled. How to stare at something, and how to have fun..
It looks like he's really drunk. How could his smell and sight be this sharp? am I a Vampire? Aileen laughed sillyly.
"Miss, what are you doing here?" Sarah finds Aileen and immediately embraces the girl's shoulder. Once again Aileen shook Sarah's hand.
"You saw that man Sarah. The guy that was there. Isn't that guy handsome?" point at Aileen with slightly shaking legs, due to staggering.
"The man who is at the end of there. Smiling like an angel. That fucking face, I want it." Aileen laughed, then hugged Sarah.
"That man is ordinary, miss." said Sarah, not really able to see who Aileen meant. "Well, you're ruining the mood." Aileen. Sarah catches Aileen's body.
"I want it." murmured Aileen again. "Can you get it for me? I want to play with that guy Sarah. You have to get it for me. I want him.." Aileen. The girl was completely drunk.
As for Sarah herself, Aileen's request meant the same thing as an order. He will do anything to make that request happen. Although actually Sarah is a little doubtful what kind of game Aileen intended.
"Fine miss. I'll give that man to you. Now this way, the toilet's right there."
