One Night Stand

Chapter 12

Gabriella’s POV

I completed my task with Hills Group International at precisely 12 p.m. on Sunday. I was so exhausted

that I packed all of my equipment into the suitcase I typically bring to work on weekends. Because I

lacked a larger bag, I opted for a piece of luggage to store my stuff. I hailed a taxi to Mrs. Hills'

residence. I was dragged along with my luggage. I approached the gates of a colossal home, much too

large for a stand-alone woman. There was a large yard and plenty of space for a toddler to run about.

The property had a swimming pool, and the mansion was suitable for a queen. Xander was swimming

with Mrs. Hills when I spotted him. I could see my son's enthusiasm. Two helpers and a couple of

bodyguards kept an eye on them while they swam. I greeted the two helpers and bodyguards who

were around. I overhear Xander speaking to Mrs. Hills "Grandma, look! I can float! I did it!" That image

brought tears to my eyes. Xander never had anyone except for me, Chloe, and Alex. Hearing him

address Mrs. Hills' grandmother moved me to tears. I never met my parents. I have no idea what they

looked like. I saw a bench and took a seat there to watch my son swim with Mrs. Hills. She then fixed

her gaze directly at me. "Oh child, I was not expecting you to arrive this early," she inquired, with a

broad grin on her face. “How was work?” she asked.

"Tiring. Since yesterday, I haven't slept well. I barely got a couple of hours of shuteye. Relaxing at

home is all I want to do." A scowl flashed on her face as she called out to a staff member,

"Please take Ms. Parker to one of the guest rooms, let her clean up, and allow her to relax."

"Of course, ma'am." Said the helper.

I wanted to refuse the offer, but she shot me a glance that said, "Don't give me that bullsh*t." Followed

the lady as she carried my luggage, I was devastated. I was escorted to a giant room, where the

woman ran me a bubble bath. She gestured for me to enter. I did as they attempted to strip me naked.

When I realized what they were up to, I put a stop to it. "I'm sure I'll be able to handle it on my own.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Many thanks. I'll take care of things from here." They were glancing at each other, and I noticed it. I

assured them I would be fine and they left. A bathrobe was lying on top of the bed as I exited the

bathroom. I changed into my bathrobe and rushed to bed. When I went to sleep, I didn't know what had

happened. The next morning, upon realizing I was in a strange bed, I sprung out of bed, checked the

time, decided to take a bath, and proceeded down the stairs, where I was welcomed by Mrs.

Hills.
