Gazing at the ceiling, her senses gradually returned.
As the memories of the previous day resurfaced, her eyes slowly welled up with tears.
How could Yana and Lloyd be so cruel?
Even worse, her own parents had simply stood by, watching Yana take her away.
Fighting back her tears, Maggie mustered the strength to rise from her bed.
Aches and soreness coursed through her body, reminding her of the passionate events from the night before.
Maggieâs cheeks flushed at the thought of Sanford.
She was grateful that she had bumped into him last night.
Otherwise, she couldnât imagine what might have happened.
Maggie bit her lip and ventured out of the bedroom.
In the living room, Rosalynn hastily grabbed her bag, preparing to leave for work.
Upon seeing Maggie emerge from her room, she rushed to her side, concern etched on her face.
âMaggie, youâre awake.
â
âHey, Rosalynn,â Maggie greeted her, her embarrassment palpable.
Rosalynn gently guided her to the sofa.
âAre you okay?â she asked.

Maggie managed a nod.
âHow did I end up back here last night?â
Her memory was hazy; all she could recall was her pestering Sanford for sex.
Their night together had been a whirlwind, only ending when exhaustion finally claimed them both.
When she awoke, Maggie found herself back in the apartment.
âSanford brought you home,â Rosalynn explained in a gentle tone.
Noticing the shy expression on Maggieâs face, she added softly, âIâve heard about what happened last night.
What do you think of it?â
Maggieâs gaze fell to the floor.
âTo be honest, I want to thank him.
If it werenât for him, I canât even imagine what could have happened to me.
â
Rosalynn furrowed her brow.
âYou want to thank him? But he took advantage of you!â
âNo, he didnât.
He wanted to take me to the hospital, but I couldnât hold back any Longer and kept pushing him to do it with me,â Maggie explained, defending Sanford.
