Chapter 1 - Disastrous Morning (1/2)

Beads of perspiration trailed down her forehead as she placed her hand above her eyes to block the incoming sunlight. Her lips curved downwards when she felt the heavy migraine exploding like a volcano erupting with loads of lava bursting out of its hell hole.

'Ugh! What a great way to start my day with a stupid hangover! I have to go to work soon... I have to see him and her together... what luck. Sigh.. just five more minutes....' she thought to herself as she pulled the blankets over her head.

While rubbing her temples, she noticed a familiar cologne fragrance. 'Huh...? How come it smells like him? Am I still dreaming? I must be since my eyes are closed. Sigh... I guess I really need to wake up and get over him!'

Her fingers patted against her porcelain skin lightly before her eyelids reluctantly lifted up. She grunted when her eyes met the sunlight outside of the blanket as if someone had purposely tried to murder her sight by flashing a flashlight into her eyes. Naturally, her instincts quickly took action and she squirmed back undercover, moving like a worm. Her eyebrows knitted together while she thought of endless excuses to give her boss about why she lived fifteen minutes away, yet she could still end up late for work.

'Oooo my stomach hurts... wait, I used this one before. Hmm... I got super drunk and crazy that I ended up playing the role of a clown last night at a strip club... wait, too fake... I...argh, forget it. I'll just get up...'

Just when her leg adjusted its position slightly, her toes knocked into a warm, hard, yet soft surface next to her. Swallowing her saliva loudly, her eyes wandered towards her right. Immediately, her face drained its colors as she saw six pack abs that obviously belonged to a man whom she had not figured out his identity yet because she was still under the blankets.

As her breathing hastened, she slowly retreated from the unknown stranger, almost falling down from the edge of the king sized bed. She stumbled her way out of bed and found a clean towel to wrap around her body.

Her heart was racing so fast that she thought she was being thrown off a cliff to play bungee jump, 'Yin Susu, you got this.. it's alright... it's alright...just don't wake him up.. and see who he is...' She patted her chest to soothe her mixed emotions.

Gently, she pulled the blanket away from his face...

”nnn...” The man shifted sideways.

She reacted quickly as the man swung his arm towards her side of the bed, almost hitting her. ”That cologne... and the..piercing on his ear... don't tell me it's Tian Yuo...but how?” Suddenly, the migraine that had subsided began to haunt her again as she tried to remember what happened the previous night.

Before she could remember what exactly happened that led to her and Tian Yuo n.a.k.e.d on the same bed, Karen, Susu's step sister opened the door in a frantic manner. With a shocked expression and almost instantaneously tear filled eyes reaction, she choked on her words, ”S..sis! Tian Yuo! How could the two of you do this to me?!! Tian Yuo, we just got engaged last night and you slept with Susu!”

The piercing agony shrilled in her voice as she wailed and repeated their names over and over made the situation worsen. Tian Yuo was awakened by her painful cries. He shook his head several times and squeezed his eyes tightly shut, trying to recall the blurred pieces of memories from the previous night.

He vaguely remembered a waiter saying that Susu wanted to congratulate him on his engagement with Karen, but couldn't bear the pain so she had the waiter bring him a glass of wine. Everything blacked out after chugging down the wine. 'Damn that witch! And I thought she would finally give up on me!'
