Chapter 2

She said my name.

My heart skipped a beat.

I couldn't understand why she was falsely accusing me.

Until I heard faint breathing behind me.

I turned around and realized there was another woman sleeping in the same bed.

She was curled up by the edge, which is why I hadn't noticed her before.

At that moment, I finally understood what Lily meant by "rape."

"I didn't do anything. I don't even know her," I said frantically, grabbing Lily's arm to prove my innocence.

Lily just gave me a look, then turned and locked the door, leaving me alone with the woman.

I wanted to wake her up and ask what was going on, but she was completely naked. I didn't dare look.

I deliberately made some noise to wake her up.

Thankfully it worked, and the woman finally stirred.

But the confusion in her eyes matched my own.

The unfamiliar environment and my presence made her shriek.

"Who are you? Why am I here?"

She grabbed a pillow and started hitting me with it, angrily demanding to know what I had done to her.

I could only tell her to calm down and try to remember what happened last night.

But this was the woman's first time in this kind of situation. How could she possibly stay calm?

After cursing me and my ancestors, she asked where I had hidden her clothes.

I looked around and saw her clothes scattered everywhere. Just as I picked them up to toss to her, the door opened again.

"We received a report of a crime in progress. Please come with us," said the police officers who entered.
