34 Drugged

With nothing seemingly happening after the toast, Rain let things play out for now. The program began with the introduction and welcoming of the board of directors, followed by the presentation of special awards. Throughout, she could feel someone’s eyes boring into her. Having had enough, she turned only to see Paul sitting not far from her sneaking glances at her while checking on his watch repeatedly.

“What’s his problem?” she thought, finding Paul’s actions unsettling.

Fifteen minutes into the program, a sudden wave of dizziness hit her. She cursed under her breath, realizing that something was very wrong.

“What is wrong with me?” she muttered to herself while shifting uncomfortably in her seat.

The program continued with the chairman giving out a speech on stage, but Rain’s focus wavered. She blinked, trying to steady her vision, but beads of sweat began forming on her forehead.

“Attorney Clayton, are you alright?” asked one of the

lawyers beside her. She probably noticed how uneasy she was being.

“Yes…”

Rain tersely replied though she was anything but fine. Her body felt heavy, and a strange warmth spread throughout her body, making it difficult to

concentrate. This was unlike anything she had ever experienced before.

Unable to sit still any longer, Rain abruptly stood up and made her way to the restroom. Inside, she rushed to the sink and splashed cold water onto her face in an attempt to shake off the disorienting sensation. She then grabbed a handful of tissues and dabbed them on her clammy skin.

“Something’s not right,” she mumbled while staring at her reflection in the mirror. Her face was paler than usual, and her pupils were slightly dilated. Eventually, her eyes widened, and panic started to set in as she realized that whatever was happening wasn’t just a case of nerves.

But just as the silence was starting to get to her, the sound of a toilet flushing broke the tension. A woman

emerged from one of the stalls, and she immediately glanced at Rain with curiosity.

Likewise, Rain tried to compose herself, but the unease within her was building. Her heart pounded in her chest, and her mind raced with thoughts of what could be happening. Had Paul done something to her drink? The thought sent a fresh wave of fear through her, and she couldn’t help but grip the edge of the sink for

support.

Meanwhile, the woman continued watching her, her eyebrows raised in concern. “Are you okay?” she cautiously asked.

Instead of asking for help, Rain forced a smile, her voice shaky as she held onto her pride. “Just feeling a

bit under the weather. I’ll be fine.” She should be fine.

She just needed to get out of there and figure out what was going on.

Turning to leave the restroom, her mind was set on getting some fresh air. However, just as she reached the door, her legs wobbled, and the world around her started to spin.

Holding on, Rain barely made it out into the hallway,

her heart racing as she hurried away from the grand hall where the gala was in full swing. She needed to leave, to get to somewhere safe before whatever was happening to her took full effect.

Her hands trembled as she grabbed her phone and quickly dialed Brandon’s number. Unfortunately, there

was no answer. Panic set in once more as she then

dialed for Sanya, but for some reason, the call wouldn’t go through.

Rain cursed under her breath as she felt the effects of

the drug intensify. Seconds passed, and her face lit up when her phone rang. Immediately, she answered it, whispering frantically, “I need help. I think someone drugged me. I’m here at the ”

Before she could finish, her voice faltered as her vision blurred, her surroundings spinning out of control. She stumbled, her body no longer responding the way it should. She felt herself crashing into the cold, hard wall, her knees buckling beneath her. The phone slipped from her grasp, clattering to the floor as her strength faded.

The last thing she saw before darkness closed in was Paul rushing towards her with a satisfied smirk on his

face. Right then, Rain realized just how deep in trouble

she was…

Time passed, and Rain slowly regained consciousness, her eyelids fluttering as she tried to make sense of her surroundings. Disoriented, her head throbbed as she tried to regain her bearings. Her body felt oddly heavy as if it was weighed down by an unfamiliar sensation. It took her a few moments to realize she was lying on a cold, hard surface. She blinked, her mind foggy as she struggled to remember what had happened.

Then, it hit her like a ton of bricks–the gala, the wine,

Paul’s sinister smirk.

Panic surged through her, but it was quickly

overwhelmed by an entirely different sensation–an intense, burning heat spreading through her body.

Her skin felt feverish, her breath coming in short, ragged gasps. She tried to steady herself, but the sensation only grew stronger as it pooled within her lower abdomen, making her feel…desperate. The realization was horrifying. Whatever drug had been slipped into her drink was taking full effect, and it

wasn’t just impairing her judgment–it was amplifying her arousal to unbearable levels.

Pushing herself up, her body trembling as she fought against the overwhelming urge. She staggered onto her feet, her legs barely holding her up as she looked around. She was in a bathtub, alone, but that offered little comfort. Her skin was damp with sweat, her pulse racing as the heat inside her became almost impossible to ignore.

Without thinking, she turned on the shower, the sound of rushing water filling the room. She ripped off her gown with shaking hands, her mind clouded with a singular, urgent need to cool down, to find some relief from the maddening sensation coursing through her.

Stepping under the cold water, she gasped as the icy spray hit her skin. However, it barely made a dent in the fire raging inside her.

The cold water did little to quell the growing need that throbbed within her. It was as if her body was moving on its own, her actions disconnected from her racing thoughts. Glancing down at the torn remains of her gown, confusion, and panic swirled in her mind. Why had she ripped it off? Why couldn’t she stop herself?

Her mind flashed back to the last thing she remembered: Paul’s smug face as she lost

consciousness. A cold dread settled over her. If Paul

was the last person she saw, then he was likely the one who brought her to this unknown place. She needed to get out of wherever she was, and fast.

Leaning against the shower wall, her breaths came in desperate pants as the drug’s effects took hold, making her feel like she was losing control of her own body. Her heart pounded as she struggled to focus, her instincts screaming at her to escape. She had to get out before it was too late. She forced herself to move, each step feeling like a battle against the drug’s lingering effects.
