The Law of Attraction

"Finally…" Daryl silently muttered as soon as he got out of this meeting. He felt exhausted and stiff so he stretched his back in front of his car at the parking lot before going inside

He looked at his wristwatch and decided to go home instead since it was almost six in the evening already.

He then picked his mobile phone from inside his coat and looked at all the missed calls and messages.

"What is this?" he murmured as he looked at the time Kenzie sent it. It was when he was at the lunch meeting.

"Did she have to tell me her whereabouts? What? A shadow boyfriend? Is she that desperate? What the hell is she saying?" he murmured in a row and instantly dialed Kenzie's number.

The woman told him she would party with friends and get drunk all day and night long. Kenzie's number just kept on ringing without anyone answering.

It was an in-house party and the address was an hour away from where he was right now.

"Damn!" Dary hissed as he started his car that very instant. He was sure that Kenzie would get herself in trouble if she did not stop being stubborn.

"Is she rebelling or something? How come her father is not tightening his reign on her?" he mumbled as he drove his car to the road.

"She has her bodyguards with her so there's nothing for me to worry right?" Daryl whispered, still undecided about where he should drive his car to… to Kenzie or to his house.

He was on the way to his house when he suddenly had a change of heart and made a sharp u-turn.

"Damn!" he hissed. For some reason, he felt responsible if any harm came to Kenzie. A lot of women tend to lose themselves when drunk and Kenzie was one among those women.

What if she ended up casually sleeping with just anyone there? Or what if some guys took advantage of her since it was an in-house party? Yes, she had bodyguards but still… There was still a high chance or possibility of those things happening.

Up to now, he thought that Kenzie's offer was too absurd. He was willing to pretend for three months but not to the extent of having s.e.x with her as well… That was just too much…

Yes, Kenzie was an attractive woman and most men would definitely grab a chance like that but not him. He respected women and he would not take a woman to bed just like that. Bedding a woman for him meant that he would take full responsibility for that woman.

He was a very approachable man that was one of the reasons why he was mistaken as a playboy most of the time, since he preferred the company of women, especially at parties or any such occasion. Thought that was because he was broken-hearted at that time and a close friend told him that a new love would heal his heart, not time so he should get to know more women and see if any of them caught his heart.

Unfortunately, no new love came but he was healed by burying himself in work and socializing more with women. Yes, he dated a lot of them but he did not end up in any serious relationship at all.

He heaved a long deep sigh and looked at his wristwatch...

How he hated long rides like these. One hour was too much already for him, plus the traffic added more time.

And here he thought he could finally rest at home in the comfort of his bed after an exhausting day.

It was already dark when he reached the place where he could hear the loud music from afar and see the lights blinking at the house on the hill. There were a lot of young people in their bikinis and trunks gathering around the pools and some were playing in the pool in the garden.

They practically occupied the whole villa and he was allowed to go in as soon as the guard confirmed his presence. Kenzie seemed to be expecting him seeing she made sure that the guards allowed him inside.

'What is this?!' he mused, seeing a lot of vices were there.

He dialed Kenzie on his mobile phone but her phone just kept on ringing. He noticed Kenzie's bodyguards were outside when he entered the villa except for one female guard who he saw at the corner with other women.

It seemed like they got the female bodyguard drunk, seeing her condition. He approached the bodyguard and asked where was Kenzie and she herself looked surprised as she turned around and murmured, "She was just there a while ago."

The bodyguard quickly stood up but she swayed that a woman beside her caught her.

Daryl suddenly got nervous and moved that instant.

"Where is Kenzie?" he asked around but none could answer and they just shook their head at most. The music was too loud as well that he had to shout Kenizie's name. He searched the whole area on the first floor already but there was nothing.

He panicked and ran to the second floor where there were rooms. He opened each room one by one and cursed.

Each room was occupied by partners and some were doing intimate things, he saw they were n.a.k.e.d.

Daryl apologized whenever he opened a room and saw it was not Kenzie in there.

"I'm sorry…" he gasped and turned to those drinking outside and chattering.

"Did you see Kenize?"

They looked confused so Daryl described Kenzie, "Long straight black hair with dimples when she smiles?"

"Oh, that hot chick… I saw Ruper and Lex take her there." One of the men commented, pointing towards the room at the dead-end.

"Shi*t!" Daryl cursed as he rushed towards the room. This was what he was worried about, Kenzie getting into trouble like this. His heart slammed his chest as he ran towards that room.

'Oh, God… Let her be safe…' he silently prayed, hoping he timely arrived and Kenzie was unharmed.
