Chapter 110 Something Inside So Strong
Bryce moved his lips to Susan's neck, and Susan ran her hand through Bryce's hair, enjoying the passion burning inside her. Bryce's shirt was already open. Susan just took it off him and tossed it to the side. She started tagging at his pants, but Bryce suddenly froze.
"What is it?" Susan questioned, wondering why Bryce suddenly stopped.
Bryce suspended himself over Susan and stared down at her. His vision was still blurry, and confusion rode his mind as a strong desire burned within him. He could not see the face of the person in bed with him clearly. Even though his body needed that satisfaction, it didn't feel right. His mind was in chaos, but something inside so strong stopped him from sleeping with the stranger lying on the bed.
Susan lifted her body and captured Bryce's lips in another kiss, but this time he didn't respond, even though he didn't push her away.
"What is wrong?" Susan asked, wondering what was happening.
Bryce pushed himself off Susan, still feeling something wasn't right. He ended up falling on his back towards the foot of the bed. He rolled over as surprised Susan quickly sat up on the bed. She was shocked by Bryce's reaction. The drug she had injected into the sealed water was that strong. So it was hard to believe Bryce was rejecting her. Before Bryce rolled over to lie on his belly and started dragging himself towards the edge of the bed, Susan saw the huge bulge in front of his pants, and she knew the drug was working, so what was going on?
Bryce got down from the bed and managed to stand on his feet, but he seemed a little off. Susan got on her knees on the bed and walked towards the edge of the bed.
"Who are you?" Bryce questioned as he could not see the person in front of him clearly, even though the familiar perfume told him it was Susan.
"Bryce is me," Susan said, not sure if she should mention her name.
She got down from the bed, and Bryce staggered backwards and almost lost his balance, but Susan grabbed his hands, preventing him from falling.
"You who?" Bryce asked his voice a bit stronger this time.
"It's me, your love," Susan decided to play safe as she was not sure what was going on, but Bryce pushed her hands off him. "Why are you rejecting me? You need me," she tried to coax, making her voice seductive as she tried to touch Bryce one more time, but Bryce took a step back, and Susan kept advancing towards him.
"You are not Angela. Get away from me," Bryce said, looking uncomfortable.
"You don't know that?" Susan replied, trying to pose herself as Angela, knowing Bryce was confused right now.
Bryce felt funny in his stomach. His hand moved to his stomach, and his eyes scanned the unfamiliar environment.
"What is wrong, Bry........" Susan tried to ask, seeing Bryce bending over, but before she could complete her statement, her face was splashed with vomit.
Susan screamed, and Marcus entered the room only to find Susan standing there with her back facing the door, wearing just a pair of pants and a bra and her face and half of her body were drenched in vomit. Bryce, on the other hand, was bent over, standing just a distance away from Susan, vomiting some more onto the floor.
Marcus quickly rushed to Bryce's side after staring at the scene for a couple of minutes. Susan continued to scream as Marcus moved Bryce out of her room after he was done vomiting. The tip of Bryce's pants had stains of vomit in them.
"What the fvck!" Susan cursed and tried to move, but she slipped on Bryce's vomit and fell to the floor, landing in the vomit and bumping her head against the side of the bed. She went silent immediately.
A couple of minutes before, Marcus heard Susan's scream, and he rushed into the room. He was already regretful for following Susan's orders. He analysed the situation and realised something was off and suspected what was going to happen upstairs, but he didn't know how to go back in there and was not sure if his boss would be happy should he interrupt the moment. Hearing Susan scream gave him a reason to enter the room after returning upstairs.
Outside, Marcus put Bryce in the back seat of the car and covered him with his jacket since he was shirtless. Bryce looked very weak. Marcus quickly got behind the wheel, drove out of Susan's compound and headed for a hospital.
After a couple of minutes' drive, Marcus drove into the huge compound of a hospital. He got out of the car and went inside the hospital to get help.
Bryce was soon rushed on a stretcher to the emergency unit while Marcus waited in the hallway. He paced up and down the hallway waiting for news about Bryce's condition. Marcus stood in the hallway, and it felt like forever for him. He felt relieved when he saw the doctor coming out of the emergency department. Bryce was on a stretcher with a drip on him.
"Is he okay?" Marcus asked the doctor as the medical team pushed Bryce out of the emergency unit.
"He would be fine," the doctor said. "Were you with him?" he asked.
"Yes," Marcus replied, not understanding the doctor's question.
"I will advise you not to give him such a drug in the future," the doctor said, and Marcus frowned.
"What drug?" Marcus asked.
"Did you not give him an aphrodisiac to spice things up between you two?" the doctor asked, his voice a bit low, and Marcus frowned immediately.
"No," Marcus rejected outright.
"Apologies, I thought you two were together?" the doctor said, and Marcus shook his head in a no, knowing exactly what the doctor meant. "It appears someone gave him an aphrodisiac and he reacted badly to it," the doctor informed Marcus. "We will keep him here for the night," he added.
"I can see you don't recognise the patient you just attended to. That is Mr Bryce Moore, CEO of Diamond Corporation," Marcus informed the doctor. "For security reasons, I would prefer he stay in a private ward. If possible, I would like that part of the floor cleared," he added.
"A private ward is possible, but clearing a whole floor will be difficult. But don't worry, we have CCTV everywhere. He would be safe," the doctor assured Marcus, and Marcus knew he could only nod.
Later, Marcus was taken to Bryce's ward by one of the nurses, and he stayed there watching over him.
Bryce woke up at 3 am and requested to be discharged. The doctor on duty discharged him since everything was okay.
From the hospital, the two drove to the estate and soon entered Bryce's apartment compound.
"Go get some rest, we will talk about whatever happened at sunrise," Bryce said to Marcus, and he acknowledged.
Bryce gave Marcus's jacket back to him before dismissing him for the night.
Bryce went upstairs to his room. When he entered his room, he imagined Angela sleeping in his bed, lying on her side like she always does. He knew, despite everything that was happening now, he missed her. He made a mental note to visit her in prison before going to the office at sunrise.
