Lost In A Daydream

Pete opened the door of his bedroom and saw his victim lying sprawled on his bed, unconscious. His family had gone on a holiday to Florida and all the pets were at Marina's parents house. Pete didn’t want any disruption in his birthday celebration, so his mom had made all the necessary arrangements before leaving. They had no idea of Pete’s evil plans whatsoever.  He quickly got rid of his clothes and switched off all the lights in the room except the night lamp of course. 

Victoria stirred feeling the movements in the room but she didn’t have the energy to open her eyes and check what was happening. Pete climbed onto the bed and took off her clothes too. He switched on his camera to take intimate pictures of them together on the bed to show Colton. Afterwards, he took advantage of her and lay next to her with a satisfied smirk on his face. His mission had been accomplished. He had done what Colton had done to him three years back! 

Victoria opened her groggy eyes, her head was splitting with extreme pain. She looked around the dimly lit room in the wee hours of the morning. Where was she? It wasn’t her own bedroom. Alerted, she tried to get up but an excruciating pain down there made her wince. It was then that she realized that she wasn’t wearing anything at all. Who took off all her clothes. Panicking she recognized the room. It was Pete’s room and she had felt dizzy last night after eating the food and drinking the strange concoction that Pete had given her. She looked beside her and gasped seeing Pete lying there, covered with a duvet, fast asleep. She could make out that he wasn’t wearing anything at all. Anger filled her whole body. Did he the advantage of her? She had to get out of here before she fainted again. The sight of Pete made her feel like throwing up. How could Pete do this to her?

Getting up, she wore her clothes which were lying on the floor and picking up her mobile, she ran out of the door as fast as her legs could carry her. Her head was hammering painfully as she ran to Sofia’s house, dazed and shocked at everything that happened. How could Pete take advantage of her? What would she do now? The pain was tremendous and she felt like going somewhere far away, to hide from the reality. Finally she unlocked the door with her spare keys and went inside and straight to her room. Thankfully no one was around to witness her condition so early in the morning. Tears crept into her eyes and closing the door of her room shut. Going to her en-suite, she broke down completely as she scrubbed herself off Pete’s dirty touch. 

It was an hour later, when she decided to return back to Las Vegas, to her parents before anyone woke up. She was done with Reno and she would never return to this hateful city! Quickly packing up, she booked herself a flight to Las Vegas and quietly left Sofia’s house forever. 

Colton woke up with a start hearing the message notifications on his mobile phone. Who could be messaging him continuously so early in the morning? He stared at the table clock on his night stand and groaned seeing that it was just 6 o’clock in the morning. He placed a pillow over his head and went back to sleep. It was a Sunday and who needed to wake up so early in the morning!

It was two hours later when he dragged himself out of bed and went to freshen up. Afterwards as he sipped some coffee, he picked up his mobile phone to check all the incoming messages as well as his emails. The emails were all normal work and bank related but it was the 10-15 messages and images sent from Pete’s number that piqued his attention. They didn’t exactly look like Pete’s birthday pictures, so he just downloaded all of them and watched the pictures one by one as they downloaded. The cup of coffee fell to the floor and crashed to pieces as he sat horrified looking at what Pete had sent him.

They were all nude and intimate pictures of Victoria and Pete. It seemed as if they were together last night! How could it be? He hadn’t seen her at the party? It was then that he remembered a conversation that she had overheard from one of Pete’s friends, Carmen. On his way to the bar, he had overheard her how a bit*h had accompanied Pete to his bedroom. So was she talking about Victoria? Colton’s whole body trembled with anger. How could Victoria do this to him? How could she never give him any attention while she could have s*x with his enemy? With Pete of all the people on earth? 

He read the messages that Pete had sent him. 

Pete – Revenge for taking my Charlotte away from me…

Pete – Victoria is too good in bed.. you should try her out too.. 

Colton stared at the phone with a horrified expression on her face. So that was what all this was about? Pete was taking revenge for Charlotte? But it was baseless! Charlotte didn’t return his feelings and willingly spent a night with him instead so how could Pete hold him responsible? The second message made his blood boil. 

Colton lost control and barged out of the house. He rushed to Pete’s house but the ba*sta*d had already locked his house and escaped knowing that Colton wouldn’t spare him at all. Blind with fury, he stormed into Sofia’s house. Greta and another maid looked up while vacuuming the living room. 

“Where’s Victoria?” He growled shaking with anger. How could she stoop so low and sleep with his enemy? He just couldn’t believe it. 

“She has left and gone home today in the morning, without a word,” said Greta worriedly. 

“Of course. Just as I expected,” said Colton angrily. “Are you sure that she’s gone home?” asked Colton suspiciously. Greta gaped at him.

“Where else would she go? Sofia tried calling her but her phone is switched off. She called her parents but Victoria hasn’t reached home yet. Maybe after two hours she will,” said Greta. 

“This is so frustrating!” Growled Colton. Greta looked at him suspiciously. 

“Did you two fight?” she asked him. Colton gave her a look and just stormed out of the house. He had lost his mind not knowing what to do. Did the two of them elope? Did Victoria like Pete so much? Was it love at first sight for her? He felt like banging his head against something out of frustration. 

He tried their numbers, but both were switched off. He went back to his house to drown his sorrow with a drink or two. After two hours, his housekeeper found him lying unconscious and drunk amongst broken, shattered glasses. She summoned the guards for help and they took him to the hospital from first aid. 

At last a tired and shattered Victoria reached home. It was eleven in the morning and her parents looked up with relief seeing her enter. After Sofia’s desperate call, they had been very worried about her. “Are you unwell, Vicky?” asked her mom, helping her to the couch and handing her a bottle of water. Victoria looked at her quietly and then all of a sudden burst into tears. Her mom hugged her to her bosom and tried to comfort her. Her dad too tried his best to calm her down. Afterwards, her mom gave her some soup and a sedative and tucked her to bed. She called Sofia to inform her about Victoria’s condition. 

“I’ll talk to her once she calms down, don’t worry,” promised Sofia. 

Victoria however didn’t calm down the whole day. She was the same and her parents were very worried about her. She refused to go to see the doctor and they were at their wits end. The next day too her mom tried to coax her to tell her how she was feeling but Victoria had stopped communicating. She wouldn’t even go out of her room. Her mom didn’t go to work and stayed with her the whole time to look after her. 

The next day Victoria was sitting on her bed fiddling with her phone when she thought of switching it on. Instantly, twenty missed calls from Colton and five from Sofia flashed on the screen. There was a message from Colton as well.

Colton- I saw the intimate pictures of you and Pete together. How could you f*ck Pete behind my back? I never took you to be a wh*re but now I feel that all women are the same. Thanks for opening my eyes. I don’t need another wh*re in my life. Goodbye!

Victoria sat dazed after reading the message. She realized what actually happened. Pete took photographs of her when she was unconscious and sent them all to Colton. He might have circulated them as well. She felt more apprehensive and went into a shell out of shock, shame and guilt.
