Chapter 58: Drunk

Victoria's POV

We made eyes with each other and I felt a cold shiver run down my spine and I had to nervously look away.

''Shit.'' I grumbled to myself while I nervously chewed my lips.

''Why don't you want me to get you a drink or are you with someone?'' The drunk guy asked, and I had no choice than to lie to get him off.

I searched around the crowd looking for a guy to point at him until my eyes met with him, and he did not look away, rather he fixed his gaze on me.

''Him.'' I pointed at the strange guy.

''He is my boyfriend, and we are just having issues. I'd advise you to leave me alone. You don't want him getting angry.'' I did not believe I was the one doing this.

''Shit, you mean Bernard is your boyfriend?'' The guy asked in fear and swallowed nervously.

I scoffed and shrugged my shoulders. I did not even know his name was Bernard.

''Shit, I'm deeply sorry, you should have told me earlier.'' The guy stammered in fear and rushed away from me even before I could say a word.

I noticed he went up to where Bernard was sitting and was saying something to him, which I couldn't hear.

''Shit.'' I murmured in regret when I made eyes with Bernard, and he did not blink. Neither did he bother looking away.

The guy walked away from Bernard and did not bother coming or looking my way.

Quickly, I stood on my feet and walked into the crowd until I got to where the drinks were kept. I searched for a drink I knew, but all the drinks in the bar were new to me.

''Here you are, have this.'' Jane took a long sip from the cup before handing it over to me.

''What is it.'' I asked with a frown while taking the cup from her.

''It's a drink, have it, you will like it.'' She giggled happily, danced before me, and got lost in the crowd.

Tiredly, I went back to the couch and was pleased no one had taken my spot. I stared around for Bernard, but was thankful he was no longer there.

I took a long sip of the drink and nodded my head at the taste of the drink.

It tasted like whiskey mixed with cream, the taste was incredible, and I couldn't put the cup down until I emptied the cup.

I searched the party hoping to see Jane around, but the room was crowded, preventing me from spotting her.

I took the empty cup and went for a refill of that drink, but unfortunately, it was finished. Groaning softly, I stood In a corner and watched how normal young adults were having fun with their lives, not thinking about anything but just fun.

''Hey beauty, dance with me.'' A young guy approached me with a friendly smile and I nodded my head and agree to him by giving him my hands.

He took me to the dance floor and held my waist while I placed my two hands on my shoulders and danced with him.

''So I'm Jake and you are.''

''Vic… sorry Olivia.'' I replied and smiled nervously.

''Nice name, so do you live in town?'' He asked.

Shit, what should I say

''Yeah, yeah.'' I replied with a smile.

He nodded his head and smiled widely at me, before moving his lips to my left ear.

''I like you, I've been watching you around…''those words did not leave his mouth before I felt a forceful grip on my waist, which caused my body to shiver in cold.

Quickly, I turned around and noticed it was Bernard. His dark brown eyes were darker, and I could notice a frown on his face. He stared at me for a second before he moved his gaze to Jake.

''Thank you for keeping my girlfriend company. You can leave now.''he spoke in an authoritative voice, which made me wonder how a person could possess such power and authority around him.

''I'm so sorry Bernard, I did not know she was yours. Believe me, I have no idea.'' Quickly, Jake let go of me and got lost in the crowd without looking back.

Bernard groaned softly and stood before me while he held my waist with his two hands and pulled me to himself that I could feel his cold cozy breath on my face, which made my legs weak, but luckily, he held me tight.

He fixed his gaze on me like he was trying to read through me, but then he snapped out of his thought and let go of my waist, which made me grumble inside.

''You've already claimed yourself as mine, and as mine, you should know I don't share what's mine.'' He muttered those words in a serious tone and walked away.

''Shit.'' I grumbled while I watched him get lost in the crowd.

Judging by the way he talks and moves, it was obvious he had so much power and authority in him. Either he was CEO of a big company or he came from a reputable family that has wealth and influence, even his clothes were a judge to that.

I moved away from the dance floor and tried to relax on the wall while I watched people having fun, but then I noticed my head was spinning around.

''Shit, Jane, what did you give to me.'' I murmured as I felt the room spinning and my legs were getting weaker.

Nervously, I glared around trying to find Jane, but she was nowhere around, rather the music became louder, which caused my head to spin the more and I couldn't take it anymore.

With weak feet, I found my way towards the exit of the party room and found myself outside the building.

Slowly, I relaxed on the wall and gently massaged my head in pain as I felt my sight becoming blurry and my legs getting weaker.

''Shit, I can't pass out here.''' I murmured to myself as I noticed I was losing control of myself, but just then I felt cold, firm hands grip my waist and pull me to himself.

My eyes were almost closed, but I could tell those eyes were the eyes of Bernard, and by the look on his face he was angry and pissed off, and before I could say a word, I passed out in his arms.
