I Married My Ex's Billionaire Father

Lyse woke up with a start, her head pounding. She looked around and realized that she was in Levi’s room, on his bed, the soft sheets enveloping her in a comforting warmth. A wave of confusion washed over her as she tried to piece together the events of the previous day and how she ended up in his bed.

Then, the memory of the drugged drink, the dizzying sensation, and the terrifying encounter with Jean-Pierre flooded her mind. A wave of shame and disgust washed over her. She had been vulnerable, helpless and almost taken advantage of by a man without scruples.

Levi, sensing her distress, approached the bed. "You are awake," he said, his voice gentle. "How are you feeling?"

Lyse’s eyes welled up with tears and Levi sat on the edge of the bed and pulled her into his arms, keeping her in his comforting hold while she cried. "I... I don’t know," she stammered. "What happened to me?"

A chill ran down her spine at the memory of Jean Pierre dragging her into that hotel room and ripping her clothes, then throwing her on the bed. She had been so close to being assaulted until Levi had come flying in like a shining knight to save her.

"He was arrested, very soon we are going to know if he had any accomplices and who they were." Levi said, "As for what you were drugged with, they took a sample of your blood last night. We will get results of that test soon."

When Levi reached out a hand and gently touched her face, Lyse remembered the car ride. The way she had clung to Levi, kissing him passionately and feeling up on him like a shameless hussy. It had been as if she was on heat. She felt a surge of embarrassment at her wanton behavior.

"Did we do anything?" She asked awkwardly, embarrassed by what the answer was going to be.

Levi looked affronted and he answered gruffly. "I could never do that to you." An akward silence ensued.
