Chapter 11: chapter 11
Eliana's mind was racing as she tried to piece together the events of the previous night. She suspected that her stepmother was behind the drugging incident, but she couldn't understand why Royalty had been dragged into it as well.
Xavier, who had been quietly observing Eliana, spoke up, "It was worth it, after all." Royalty, who had been standing beside him, suddenly punched him, and he jolted awake.
As Xavier struggled to regain his composure, he caught sight of Eliana, who looked disheveled and was trying to adjust her dress. He remembered the events of the previous night and felt a pang of guilt. "I'll take responsibility," he said, looking down.
Eliana didn't respond. Instead, she turned and walked out of the room, followed by Royalty. Royalty met Elvis in the hallway and slapped him. Eliana intervened, "Can you stop hitting people already? It was partly our fault as well."
The two friends went to the hospital, where they received medication to prevent any potential health issues. After returning home, they collapsed onto Eliana's bed, exhausted.
As they lay there, they couldn't help but think about the previous night's events. Royalty realized that she had enjoyed Elvis's company, despite the circumstances. Eliana, on the other hand, was still trying to process everything.
Meanwhile, Xavier and Elvis were trying to make sense of the previous night's events. They soon discovered that they had been drugged, just like Eliana and Royalty.
As they pieced together the events of the previous night, they realized that Eliana and Royalty had been victims, just like them. Feeling guilty and responsible, they decided to leave the hotel room.
Unbeknownst to Eliana and Royalty, Tania and Rubby, the masterminds behind the drugging incident, had obtained their phone numbers from the hotel receptionist. They began sending threatening messages to the two friends.
Eliana was confused, wondering how her stepmother could have found out about her presence in Jai City so quickly. She couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off.
It was Monday, and Eliana and Royalty were getting ready for their first day at the Damien Group of Companies. Eliana was introduced as the new CEO, while Royalty was her assistant. They received hateful glares from some of the male employees, but Eliana quickly put them in their place.
As they settled into their new roles, Eliana received a document to sign, which was a contract for two ambassadors who would be endorsing their product. The ambassadors were none other than Xavier McKinney and Elvis Presley.
Eliana signed the document, wondering what the day had in store for her. The secretary came in to remind her that the ambassadors would be arriving at 2 pm.
As the clock struck 2, Xavier and Elvis arrived at the Damien Group of Companies. They were greeted by the secretary, who led them to Eliana's office.
As they entered the office, they were met with an awkward silence. Eliana, Royalty, Xavier, and Elvis locked eyes, the tension between them palpable.
