...Stanley City, the biggest city, populated with business tycoons, classic and fancy cars, moving here and there, no one could tell, whether it was night or day, as it was always dazzling and people's movements were of no limit, it was the top city, in terms of development, wealth even population...

Night walkers club, which was the top famous night club, in Stanley City, beamed with light, music and people's chatter filled it

A black car, parked outside the club, two girls about 19 - 20 years old, were in it

"am a bit nervous" she said taking deep breath

"come on Gwen, it's not like you started dating him yesterday" she said rolling her eyes " you guys have been dating for two years already, you should be used to it by now"

"Nina, you just don't understand, when it comes to Ethan, I just seem to loose all my confidence, it doesn't matter how many times we've been together, I get butterflies"

" you're really helpless girl" shaking her head " anyway let's get in now, am sure the birthday boy is waiting for you" she added teasingly

......- Gwen's pov - ......

Yeah, today is Ethan's, ...no I mean.. my boyfriend's birthday, it's my second time celebrating it with him, but I can't help but feel nervous

asking myself that, is he going to like my gift for him or not?

Well I think he will, taking a deep breath, Nina and I entered the club

It was so full, reeking alcohol and wine everywhere, actually it's my first time coming here, cause I don't like such places, am not much of a party girl, like Nina

"there're so many people here today" Nina uttered, but I wasn't paying attention, actually my state of mind was preoccupied

Throwing my eyes everywhere, looking for Ethan

and finally I saw him, on the main table, my heart started beating rapidly, by a glimpse of him

He was in a, black jeans with a white t-shirt, a pair of white sneakers and a black leathered jacket, he looked so cool and handsome

I can't find myself, stop looking at him

"Gwen, are you even listening?" Nina's voice awakened me

"huh!.. yes a..am listening"

"mmmh, that's not true, I can tell your mind is on Ethan now" pointing at Ethan's direction

"Nina?!"

"what, I didn't say anything wrong, anyway let's go" she said taking my hand

"what..where?"

"to them of course, are you planning on standing here, till the party ends?" saying this, she dragged me to the main table

 And that's when, I met Ethan's eyes

Ooh God, one look and I couldn't breathe

"Hi babe" Nina greeted Diego who was Ethan's best friend, and her boyfriend

"hi"

"You look... perfect" he complimented, scanning me from top to bottom

I wore a scarlet straight short sleeved dress, reaching mid-thigh and with a backless designed, my long black hair fell in waves, on my shoulders

"thank you" with a smile "uuh, here's your birthday present" handing over the bag to him

"what is it?"

"open it"

it was a pair of black sneakers, and a Gucci brand watch

"Thanks, you really know what I love the most"

"am glad you like it"

Well the party went on, and Ethan had a lot to drink, I tried stopping him but it wasn't successful, I looked for Diego so he can help me, carry him to his room, but neither Diego nor Nina was on sight

and I couldn't just leave him alone in such state

"guess I have to do this myself then" taking a long deep breath, I helped him up, leaning on my shoulder, all his weight on me

Oh God, what does he eat to be this heavy?

Finally we reached the room, taking the card from his hand, I opened it

Slowly dragging him in, laying him on the bed

I wanted to leave as soon as I put him to bed, but he didn't seem so comfortable

Should I take his shoes of?

Walking towards him, I took of his shoes, watch and his jacket off, but his forehead was a bit sweaty

getting in the bathroom, there was a towel, putting some water on it, so I can go and wipe him with it

that's when I felt something behind me, and before I realised it, I was engulfed in a tight hug from behind, just by the scent I realised that it was Ethan, he smelled so refreshing and so manly

damn only his scent was so enchanting

"Wh..what are you.. doing Ethan?"

"you smell so lovely" he whispered on my neck, giving me shivers

Turning around, meeting with his handsome face which was only few inches from mine, my whole body went numb

but before I could even think, he pushed me in, turning on the shower, and within seconds we were already wet, kissing and touching in the shower

My body was on fire, that I couldn't even feel the coldness of the water flowing

"Eth..an you're ..drunk.." trying to get the words which were stuck in my mouth, out

but he didn't even let me finish, he pressed my lips with his, devoring me, pouring all his desires in me, my mind went completely blank

"am drunk.. but I clearly know what I want" he said, his voice getting hoarse, travelling his hands on my waist, pulling me closer to him

"but..this is.. not right.. Ethan" breathing heavily

"why not?, you love me and I love you...so what's wrong about it?"

"Ethan ..you just don't understand, I.." again, he captured me, this time, with all his might, so tight that I was almost running out of breath, his kiss was different from before, this time it was passionate, domineering and so.. sweet

And now we're already on the bed, tracing kisses all over me, making me completely loose it

my mind was hesitating, but my body gave in to his touches

and before I even realised it, we were on the point of no return, for the first time I gave myself to him, for the first time.. I lost my virginity ...to the man I love

......................

...- Ethan's pov -...

Opening my eyes, due to the morning sunlight disturbing my sleep, slowly adjusting to the light

the damn, headache reminding me, how much I drank last night

trying to wake up, that's when I realised that there was someone sleeping beside me

It was Gwen, the woman that made my life worth living, making me forget the pressure my Dad puts me in, everyday, seeing her asleep in my arms like this, melted my heart

I wish time could froze, so that this moment could be everlasting

Recalling last night's event, as I looked at her, turned me on, I could feel myself getting harder, and want to devour her now, but I held myself back

I should be easy on her, last night was her first time

As these devilish wild thoughts ran my mind, she started moving, waking up from her sleep

for a moment, I didn't know what to do, or how to react, I found myself unmoving, it's like I suddenly paralysed

she looked at me, and I did the same " I..I " but before I could utter a word, she pulled the sheets up, and buried herself in it, leaving me dumbfounded

"Wh..what's wrong Gwen?"

"..go"

"what.!"

"I said go, leave"

"but why?" I asked confused

"just go"

"wait, are you feeling shy or something?" finally realising it, but she didn't respond "come on, what's there to feel shy about, am your boyfriend, things like this are normal for couples" hugging her

"let me go, what are you doing?" trying to resist

"come on, show me your face" while tickilng her, but suddenly her phone started ringing, it was her Dad

I could tell the tension she was in, after seeing it

she didn't pick it up

"Ooh no" she uttered, before she rushed off the bed, looking for her clothes, and started wearing them

"I..I can come with you, I ..can tell them that we're just having a party, and.." I didn't know what I was saying actually, but I just wanted to help

"no there's no need, you'll only make things worse"

" But I.."

" just don't do anything, please"

her response kinda made me feel bad, but I know she's just in so much pressure now, I'll talk to her when she calms down

...- Gwen's pov-...

Am outside the house, I can tell the storm awaiting me inside, I don't know what they'll do to me, but am prepared for the worst

taking a deep breath, I opened the gate and got in, but before I got in, I saw Nanny Lisa, who has been so kind to me than my own family

She looked at me pitifully, and shook her head

her signs, proved to me that, the situation in, is severe

but there's nothing else I can do, I have to face them, gathering all my courage, I opened the door and entered

but a loud breaking sound, was heard

I almost got hit with a flower pot, but luckily, it hit the wall beside me, while some of the pieces, cut me on the left cheek

What a sight to see, my own father wants to kill me

"You lousy brat, how dare you" he rushed toward me, and gifted me a heavy slap, which sent me down to the floor "where were you last night, and what were you doing?"

"come on Dad, it's crystal clear that she was just busy, fooling around with some men" Amanda, my stepsister said "so tell me, little sis, how many were they?"

"I don't think I have to give my answer, to a slut's daughter" seeing how irritated, my reply made her, got me satisfied

"You.." she turned her murderous look, into a pitiful one " Dad, look how arrogant she's become, though she's on the wrong, she doesn't want to apologise, instead she insulted mom and me, Dad please do something" wiping off her fake tears

"Honey, please do something I can't be insulted like this" Lourel, Amanda's mother continued with the act

Unsurprisingly, Dad fell for their cheap tricks

"I'll kill you" Dad was enraged, and now he started hitting me, with his legs, stepping on me

it hurt so much, but the emotional damage was severe, than the physical one

"Honey, stop it your blood pressure may rise again" seeing that I've had enough, and she was satisfied, she pretended to stop him

"lock her in her room, don't give her food nor water, until I say so" Dad ordered, and was about to leave, but my sudden laughter stopped him

"hahaha" I laughed, bitterly as I struggled to get up, "I really pity you Dad,.. for believing these, mother and daughter lies..instead of your own daughter, she doesn't even carry your name, your blood doesn't flow in her veins, but why, ...why you don't believe your own flesh and blood, and chose to believe..someone else's daughter Dad?, answer me"

"shut up"

"I won't" tears kept falling down from my face, despite how hard I prevented them, the pain is so much that it can kill me "I won't until you tell me why, you chose a homewrecker and her daughter, instead of your own blood"

"I said shut up" Dad gave me a heavy slap, which made me hit, my head, on the table

and that's when.. everything fell dark
