It was sunrise. Ophelia opened her eyes gently, everything was blurry.
****
Ophelia's p.o.v.
I opened my eyes attempting to get up from the bed I lay on as I stood up everything seems blurry and I sat down immediately as everything that happened last night came to my mind. I could remember how I got beaten last night, the guy that saved me, but, I couldn't remember how I ended up in that bed. As my blurry vision fades away, I looked around to see where I was. To my upmost surprise, I was in a room that looks like heaven on earth. The bed I sat on was soft and large. I looked around the room and there was light sparking like diamond on the wall, the room was spacious like those I only see on the television. The floor sparkled like diamond as well.
"Where am I ?" I asked my self .
The room was spacious than our apartment in Desterland. I was crowded in thoughts that I didn't realize someone came in.

Writer's p.o.v.
James came to check on the girl. She was awake and sitting on the bed.
"Good morning." He greeted Ophelia.
"Hi." Ophelia said.
"How was your night?" James asked as he sat closely to Ophelia.
****
Ophelia's p.o.v.
I felt a sense of uneasy washed over me as he sat close to me. I could perceive the fragrance of the perfume he wore. I shifted slowly before I answered his questions.
"It was good." I said trying to hide the fears I got when he sat close to me. He seemed to have notice that I felt uneasy. He stood up immediately and headed for the door, then he stopped.
"If you want to use the bathroom, just press the green button on this remote control." He said and left.
I kept staring at him as he left the room. I
couldn't help my curiosity as I picked up the remote and pressed the green button, something beeped three times then a door that has been inside the room opened.
"This house is not just beautiful, it is also full of technology." I said.
I walked into the bathroom, it was enormous and felt warmer than the bedroom. The first thing I saw was the washbasin. It was made of gold and the faucet was glittering like gold as well. Then I looked to the left and saw the toilet, it was neat and sparkling white. I looked at the floor it was made of marbles. The washtub was adjacent to the toilet.
As I kept admiring the beauty of the bathroom, something stroke my mind.
"I was supposed to be in my dormitory preparing for class and I haven't contacted my granny and my father to tell them that I arrived safely at college, they would be so worried about me." I thought.
I decided to leave the room in search of the man that helped to tell him that I wanna go back to college and prepare for class. As I opened the door of the room I was in and walked through the hallway. I was more confused because there were a lot of doors in the hallway. So I couldn't tell which one he was in. The beauty of the hallway got me scared of going any farther. I wondered if this house was built by men or gods. It was mostly decorated in gold. On the wall hung portraits of a woman. As I walked through the passage looking at the portraits.
As I continued looking around, I heard someone talking dimly. I followed the sound from where it was coming from. As I kept coming closer to the sound I was certain that it was a feminine voice talking. My heart skipped as I taught that it was Ophelia and her mother.
"James what has gotten over you? You have treated me this way, so why are you doing this to me?" The feminine voice said.
"I think we need a break, maybe two months of no calling, no dating, no texting." James said.
I reached a staircase and saw an elegant woman talking to James. It seems like they were quarrelling over something. The woman looked up and saw me.
"James, who is she?" The lady asked.
James looked up and saw me standing on the staircase.
"She.... She... I...." James stammered.
"Why is she wearing your pyjamas?" The woman asked.
I looked at the cloths I wore it looked new and expensive. That's when I realize I had been wearing James' cloth.
"She is a girl from college who got into trouble, so I think that keeping her here is safe." James replied to the girl.
"Is that why she is putting on you clothes." The lady said looking at me detestfully.
"Is she the reason why you want a break?" The lady asked.
James couldn't reply to the question Chloe asked him.
"If you want a two months break from this relationship, then let's go ahead." Chloe said as she made her way to leave, then she looked back and looked at me with much hatred before leaving.
"Are you alright?" He asked with much concern.
"I need to talk to my family, they would be worried about me by now." I said.
"How did I wear your clothes?" I asked.
"I thought that your dress may not be comfortable for you to sleep, so I gave Faith the house keeper to help you put them on while you were asleep." He replied.
