Chapter 2 - Wild Night

Aiden's lip brushed hers. He could tell that something was wrong with her as she kept pulling him close to her.

While he was lost in his thoughts, Aliya tightly held his shoulders and pushed her crimson face onto his, eagerly reaching for his lips. Aiden tried to duck, but she held his neck and refused to let him do so and without hesitation, she broke into his lips.

Her kisses were callow, clumsy, and slightly desperate. It was unrestrained yet lacked skills. Compelled by the menacing desire within her, she ravaged his cold, thin lips like a demon with the tip of her tongue licking his lips indiscriminately. 

Despite her unskillful kisses, his body was unbearably aroused.

Aliya kissed with wild abandon. Her heavy kisses eventually made their way down his larynx, the tip of her tongue leaving a wet trail and her teeth giving a small bite.

He shuddered uncontrollably and glared heatedly.

Aiden looked down at the coltish woman in his arms.

She seemed to be unaware of what she was currently doing.

Aiden has always seen himself as a man with absolute self-control, he could even resist a woman stripping in his presence yet Aliya's kisses seemed to have caused a huge reaction in his lower body.

"Please help…..Help me. Ryan….help.

Aiden's face hardened, the color draining from it. How dare she utter another man's name while in his bed, this ignited a firestorm within him, the playful spark in his eyes was gone, replaced by a cold fury.

He stilled, his hands clenching. "Ryan?" he breathed, the name a venomous whisper. Aliya's whimpers were lost in the sudden silence. He looked down at her, her face buried against his chest, trembling. Her vulnerability only fueled his anger.

He lifted her chin, his touch harsh. "You called out another man's name in my bed?" His voice was low, dangerous. 

He pulled her closer, his movements no longer gentle. This wasn't tenderness, but possession. "Is that how it is?" he growled, his lips close to her ear. The kiss that followed was brutal, a savage act of dominance. It was a kiss born of rage, a desperate attempt to erase the memory of another man. The line between passion and violence blurred in the storm of his emotions as he claimed her completely without a second thought.

Morning came by quickly, Aliya woke up feeling very tired, she felt pain in her lower regions, she wasn't a naive young girl and knew instantly what must have happened.

Aliya's face darkened as she tried to recollect the memories of last night but she couldn't remember anything apart from being taken away by two men, she had just lost her virginity a few days to her wedding and that too to a total stranger whom she knew nothing about. She ran her hands across her head, she had been way too careless last night. 

Who could it have been? She needed to find out as soon as possible or things could really get messy.

Aliya tried standing up but her legs were wobbly and she fell back on the bed. The beast really tore her apart last night.

She finally managed to get up and went straight to freshen up. Aliya stood under the shower seeing all the bruises and bites on her body, she felt like crying, she never imagined that her first s*x would be like this, she was clearly ravaged by the beast of a man. She had already called her assistant to get her a new dress and also start an investigation about last night. She was clearly targeted and Aliya didn't like being targeted by others, she would get the culprit and make him or her pay, her eyes darkened as she rinsed off her body.

Finch Corporation 

Aliya was sitting at the head of a conference room filled with panicking and terrifying shareholders. 

I'm going to be heading this meeting as my father is not in good health…..

Is he afraid of the mess that is going on here and refuses to see us? One of the shareholders interrupted her.

How could he send you to head the meeting for such an important matter, another shareholder added.

With all due respect Mr. Idris, I have headed meetings far more important than this in this company. If you think I am not capable of heading this meeting then you're mistaken.

Everyone fell silent. The meeting room echoed with Aliya's powerful voice discussing her plan and innovative solution to help the company out of the crisis. 

The Alliance with the Andres is happening in three days and after that we can get funds as well as their support. Does anyone have any objections?

The shareholder's whispered amongst themselves.

"I think that a perfect solution, the Andres influence cannot be underestimated in Capital city"

"A collaboration between the two companies prompted by a marriage alliance is indeed the best"

There was no objection and Aliya ended the meeting.

In the Vice President's office, Aliya took some water as her assistant spoke to her.

You didn't tell them what's at stake, the Andres are going to be the major shareholder of the company with 30 percent share.

They don't have to know, as long as I do well, I will be able to get the shares back from Ryan, Aliya said with a determined look. Any info on what I asked you to look into?

Yes, we found the man who spiked your drink, it was not a calculated plan, he often drugged pretty girls and sent them to men but in your case, he said you were gone before he came back so it's most likely another people.

Were you able to find the person who checked into the room?

No, that was a Vvip suite in The Velvet Lounge, they weren't willing to share their guest's identity no matter how much we offered.

Aliya was at a loss of what to do, she needed to know the identity of her one night stand.
