153 What happened (1)

“Nothing I’m sure… she called the man sugar plum and he called her Candy floss.” Jeslyn frowned. (1 Maverick also knitted his brows because it was getting weirder. “Do you remember what year it was, date, month, Country, and hotel?”

Jeslyn thought for a while. Before her consciousness entered the hotel, her gaze flashed past a light board with the name; “Roller Coaster hotels? In Country Y? That’s weird.” Jeslyn frowned even more with her unreliable memory.

In all her years of living in Country Y, she didn’t recall that such a hotel existed.

“It’s not,” Maverick answered with a heavy tone.

Jeslyn felt his weirdness but decided to ignore it for now. “How did you know such a hotel existed?”

“It was Rex’s. Got destroyed after an incident.”

“Oh, I guess that’s why… but as for the date, it’s-”

“7th of October..” Maverick answered instead.

“That’s right. That year should be 2014” Jeslyn replied.

Maverick remained silent after hearing that. Then a while later, he spoke but his voice was deep like he was in pain. “I’ll find it out for you.”

“Mn,”

The two stayed in each other’s arms for a long time with each of them with their own thoughts.

Maverick was thinking of why Jeslyn was having nightmares and hallucinations, plus if her condition could be distorting her dreams.

Jeslyn on the other hand was focusing her mind, trying to see what she could find in her mind.

At night, after Maverick tired Jeslyn out, he watched her fall asleep before he got up to use the bathroom. He already cleaned her up and took her back to bed to sleep.

After taking his bath, Maverick drafted a black cloak over his shoulders and headed out of the room.

Standing by the railing, he looked into the distance for a while before he connected some devices to his phone and soon, the signal–less phone seemed to have a full signal.

Maverick made this Island for relaxation. He didn’t want any disturbance from the outside world while he was here with his woman, so he got the signal tampered with.

After connecting, Maverick dialed Pink’s number. A few rings later the call was answered.

“When is her next dose?”

“Next week Sunday,” Pink answered.

“What do you know about her erased memories?”

Pink’s sigh could be heard from the other end. “They were erased for her own good.”

“I’m not sure what good you mean. She’s asking questions.”

“I’ll tell her everything when she’s ready.”

“It might be too late.” He disconnected the call and headed back inside.

Meanwhile, Jeslyn was turning and tossing in bed as she was having another nightmare.

At first, it was of her entering the hotel room and later, the strong man held her down with one hand and raised her heavy blue dress with the other.

He succeeded in tearing off her undies. Like a wild beast trying to escape from its cage, he handled her roughly at first until she started to shake violently.

Like he returned to his senses, he paused before releasing her. However, the girl jerked up and hurriedly started to fumble with the guy’s clothes. She was doing it clumsily but she seemed to be desperate, just like the man too.

Seeing her like that aroused the man and the beast in him leashed out again and he started to take her dress off before he peeled his off.

Tangled in sad sweetness, both of them wanted more of each other. What they were giving wasn’t enough. He was rough and the little girl liked it.

“Sugar plum, please!”

After the ordeal, before he fell asleep, he called her; “Candy floss…”

The next morning, Jeslyn woke up in a difficult hotel room but her body ached so much that she screamed in agony.

From the wall mirror facing her, she could see lots of hickeys and purple bruises which she believed came from how tightly the mysterious man was holding her last night.

Jeslyn couldn’t believe her own eyes after the blurry images of last night flashed through her mind.

She was no longer a virgin!

She hurriedly searched around her and found her phone lying on top of the drawer. She took it and the first person she called was her mother. They might be fighting sometimes but her mother was her

best friend.

In no time, Ms. Alice rushed to the hotel and almost fell when she saw her daughter. With no words said, Ms. Alice sent her daughter to a private hospital

The hospital confirmed that Jeslyn was brutalized and they had to stitch her opening to close the

tears.

Jeslyn’s consciousness that was walking around her dream then saw herself holding a report and handing it to her mother…

“Child, you are two weeks pregnant.”

Jeslyn’s consciousness was so shocked that she appeared way more flabbergasted than the teenage Jeslyn.

“What do you mean, mom? How can you play such a joke on me? It’s too expensive.”

However, Ms. Alice smiled which startled the teenage Jeslyn into looking lost.

Her mother rarely smiles. Her face was always looking bitchy like someone owed her a huge amount of money.

“You will bring this child into this world. The joy of a mother is beyond what you see, child. Will you be willing to kill it?”

Teenage Jeslyn hurriedly shook her head. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Good. You told me you were not raped, meaning you liked the person. Although the person has not been found, as long as I’m alive, I’ll find you that man and get you two married before your baby bump shows.”

“But mother, what about my life?”

“You already graduated High school. You’ll resume college after giving birth. Being married doesn’t stop you from achieving your aim. You can also become the singer you want to become. I no longer have an opinion about that.”

Hearing her mother give her permission for something they had always been battling for since childhood, Jeslyn was beyond happy and kept the pregnancy.

Jeslyn’s consciousness kept following as the scenes changed.
