Chapter 5: Scandal

He came out of the bathroom 20 minutes later, all dressed up.

He was donning a navy blue suit which had an emblem reading "Sanders Wealth" on it.

His clothes are tailor-made.

He put on his wristwatch and wore his shoes.

He looked so handsome and cold.

He glanced around the room and frowned as he found the room so messy.

He is germaphobic in nature.

He made a mental note to have the housekeeper take care of the room before he gets back from work.

He walked out of the room with an air of confidence and nobility which surrounded him.

All the females who saw him as he walked had red faces due to his handsome face, but he didn't even put them in his eyes as he continued walking majestically.

He entered the private elevator meant for him alone as he is the owner of the hotel.

The elevator leads to an underground parking lot.

He met his assistant as soon as he stepped out of the elevator.

"Boss," the assistant said.

He nodded slightly to acknowledge him.

"Read out my itinerary," he said before boarding the black sedan.

The assistant also climbed into the car before he began reading the schedule out to him.

"You have a board meeting around 9 this morning," the assistant said.

Sanders smirked before saying, "Let those old fogeys that refer to themselves as shareholders wait a bit."

The assistant gulped down nothing as he could feel the chills emanating from his boss' body.

He was exhibiting a cold aura.

"Got it. You also have a meeting with the Asian clients around 11 am. And also, you have a departmental meeting with the departments in the company," the assistant, whose name is Fred, said in one breath.

"Got it," he spat.

At this time they were already out of the hotel building and on the road.

Sanders began to think about the girl from last night and he frowned as he doesn't even know her name.

"How could he look for her?" he thought.

He couldn't look for her just based on her physical appearance but he was definitely sure that they would meet again.

On the other hand, after Kira walked out of the hotel with a calm expression on her face, though her heart and mind were in disarray.

She felt pained and betrayed.

Though she never loved Kevin, he was considered the only good friend she had, and she felt it was normal to spend the rest of her life with him.

But she couldn't believe that the person she considered her best friend could hurt her in this manner and that too with none other than her stepsister.

She just couldn't wrap her head around why both of them took such a drastic step.

The sneering and mocking of the crowd brought her back to her senses as she was on the streets.

She glanced around as she took in their expressions.

Ridicule, mockery, disdain, and also disgust were prominent on the people's faces.

She felt confused and lost on why they had such expressions, but she got answers real quick as she saw various pictures of herself with a man in an intimate manner on the billboard.

She was shocked as her face turned pale immediately.

She tried to convince herself that it wasn't herself in the picture, but the glaring mole on her left shoulder gave her away as everyone who knows her knows that she has a mole on her left shoulder.

On taking a closer look at the picture, she realized that the man she was photographed with was not the same man whom she spent the night with.

She didn't know why but she was relieved to an extent because she really didn't want her first to be with a man like that (She was referring to the man on the billboard).

"Can't believe she's wild in private," a lady said scornfully.

"You are right. We shouldn't trust what these rich daughters portray themselves to be," another lady said with disdain and mockery dripping from her voice.

Kira couldn't stand the negative comments anymore as she swayed from side to side.

Coupled with the fact that she has been weak from birth and also she hasn't rested from last night's experience, it didn't take long for her to slump onto the floor.

But this didn't bring sympathy from the crowd. If anything, it brought mockery and disdain from them.

"I bet she fainted on purpose because she can't bear the comments surrounding her," a busty lady said while looking at her with hate all over her face.

"Yeah, what can we expect from a two-faced bitch?" another one said with a sarcastic expression on her face.

"I heard her engagement was finalized with the Yorks yesterday. Can't believe she's going to be the wife of that eligible bachelor," another lady said while sighing.

"Do you think the engagement can still go on? It's obvious it will be called off because no man will want to be cuckolded. The Yorks wouldn't even accept her as their daughter-in-law because she has a tainted reputation," a man said to the lady.

"What you said is correct. I just feel that it is a pity. I mean she has a fiancé who is almost every woman's dream in the country but she chose to be intimate with a random guy," a middle-aged lady said before leaving the place.

Kira was left unconscious as the crowd slowly dispersed.

No one offered to pick her up or drop her at the hospital.

She really looked pitiful while she was unconscious on the cold floor.

Some were bold enough to take pictures of her in her miserable state before posting on their social media handles with captions such as, "HEIRESS OF THE BRYAMS FAKES BEING UNCONSCIOUS TO GAIN PUBLIC SYMPATHY BUT FAILS. SHE MADE HER FIANCE A CUCKOLD JUST A DAY AFTER THE ENGAGEMENT FINALIZATION, SHE'S PRESENTLY TRYING TO GAIN PUBLIC SYMPATHY."

These were among the many posts made against her and the internet which was still heated due to the pictures was thrown into an uproar again as the keyboard warriors began their hate comments.

No one took her side as they called her all sorts of names.

Lying Slut. Cheating bitch. Fake goddess.

In 10 minutes, there were hate comments about her already.

Nobody tried to ask her if she was truly the one or if she was forced.

They were only focused on her image as a cheating fiancée.

Luckily for her, Sanders Wealth's car passed by the road which she was on.

He looked outside the window before telling the driver to stop the car as he saw someone laying on the floor.

Normally he doesn't pay attention to such things, but he didn't know why, he just felt like checking what was going on there.

He got down from the car after the driver had stopped the car as he walked with an incredible aura towards the unconscious girl.

He stopped just a few steps away and he was shocked and surprised on seeing the girl from last night.

He didn't know if this was luck but he was happy as he carried her in a bridal way.
