Chapter 27 Replacement Girl

Chapter 27 Replacement Girl
Seraphina's POV

When we arrive at our destination, a nightclub not far from Oscar Bright Hotels, I sit on a stool at the bar. The bartender asks if I want some wine and I nod my head in response.

While waiting for the wine, I watch as Rosa and Jessica goes into the crowd to find their clients.

“Here,” the bartender pours some red in the glass he kept in front of me.

I grab it and gently take it.

I react quickly… it tastes bitter, and harsh. I can feel the burning sensation down my throat. But for some unknown reason, I feel the need to get more.

“More!” I say, dropping the glass on the countertop.

The bartender raises a brow at me, “Are you sure about that?” he says, concerned.

I just keep staring at him widely.

“Fine,” he shrugs and pour some more. He watches me gulp and ask for me again.

This happens eight times before someone taps me from behind. I turn, it’s someone I've never seen before. “Who… who are you?” I manage to ask.

“Mind if I join you?” he sits close to me and orders for some mix I've never heard before.

I keep staring at him, waiting for him to introduce himself to me. Not that it's that important, I just need to know why he tapped me and if he's someone I am supposed to meet.

“Seraphina, huh?” he calls my name.

My eyes widen.
Did he just called my name?

“How… how did you…”

“Of course I know your name, beautiful lady. Jessica points you to me. She's upstairs” he says, and I huff in relief.

But wait, is he here for that thing?
How can I tell him I am not ready for it?

“Yeah,” he gulps his drinks, “I am supposed to meet Elena but… I heard she's sick. And just when I thought my evening is ruined, I am told about you”

“What were you told about me?”

“Mam said you were more beautiful, I didn't believe her. But now I do. And I can't wait to lay my body on you, baby” he caresses my hair.

I shove his hand away, “I… I don't think I am ready for this, can you please choose any of those girls dancing over there?” I point towards the dance floor.

He smirks, “Don't be naive, Seraphina” he grabs the bottle from the bartender as he's about adding more red for him and gulps a little, “If I need any of those, I would have gotten them… for free” he gulps again.

I don't know what he's insinuating.
He already paid to have me? I am doomed!

“I promise to be gentle, my love” he says looking at me strangely. And before I know it, he grabs my arm and drags me to the dance floor. He dances around me and tells me to dance.

I try not to sound disrespectful by doing as he commanded, until someone pushes him and he pushes the person back. The person turns and hits him on the nose. He revenges and they get into fight.

I quickly leave the bar and go out to the car we came with. The chauffer leans by the car smoking, two cheap looking girls around him, running their hands on his body. He jolts after seeing me but quickly composes himself.

I storm into the car and shut the door.

I know when the fight dies down, the man is going to be looking for me. Until then, I am not leaving this car. I can't even imagined being fcked by someone who isn't…Damien. How I misses Damien.

His thoughts flood my mind.

He asks me to wait for him, only to be tracked by some armed guys sent by his mom to apprehend me. And how did she know about La Estancia? Unless Nicholas told her everything. That jealous freaking looking guy.

I knew he wasn't going to keep the secret. It's just a matter of time. Damien should have seen it coming too, but he never did… until it's too late. Now I don't know where he is. He might also have no clue where I am.

I can't call to tell him where I am. Of course I have his contact offhand, but I don't see a future with someone whose mother doesn't like me.

Someone who already has someone waiting for him to be his wife long before I even came into the picture. Someone who has a responsibility greater than me on his shoulders as soon ss he turns 30.

If Victoria had been kind, and his mother too, maybe everything would have moved smoothly. Him marrying Victoria, and I maintaining my role as his forbidden maid. But the hate was too much, and he was left with no other options but to protect me.

I huff.

Anyways, now he doesn't have to protect me anymore. I am on my own. And La Estancia, I thought it was a strange place not knowing my mom grew up there. Not knowing The Landlord I feard and despised so much was my mom's uncle. And Mam Carolina, my aunt.

It's a whole new discovery that makes me don't feel like leaving La Estancia anytime soon without getting the answers to some of the questions I have in store for Mam Carolina. I need to know about my maternal grandparents, how my mom later left La Estancia, and why she chose not to mention thar part of her life to me for over two decades that I had known her.

I keep thinking, until my thought is interrupted by someone pulling the door of my side open. It's Elena’s client who thinks I am the perfect replacement for his favourite Elena.

He's obviously done with his flight, and now he looks at me lustfully as if fcking me right here in the car won't be a bad idea.
