Chapter One: Midnight Bar

This story is under 🔞

Loud DJ music filled the smoky room, the bass vibrating through the floor. A couple embraced in a corner, while nearby, a group of young girls laughed, their drinks swirling in their hands.

"More drinks, please," I raised my cup to get the bartender's attention.

He poured me a drink and sighed, shaking his head.

"Ma'am, this is your sixth shot already. Are you okay?" he asked worriedly.

I smiled and nodded.

I looked around and noticed some pretty boys looking my way.

Freak! I'm nervous!

The reason I'm here, drinking alone, is that…

I'm looking for a man to sleep with.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a whore nor a slut.

I need good sperm genes for my future baby.

I'm 25 and an orphan. I have a stable job despite being young. Since birth, I've never had a boyfriend, so here I am, looking for a man who is willing to sleep with me.

"Hi there, miss," a man with an ugly, monkey-like face came near me and smiled, sitting beside me.

Oh sht, here we go again.

This isn't the first time someone has approached me, but I've turned them down because I don't like their looks. Not good genes, blegh!

"I've been keeping my eye on you for hours. Are you waiting for someone?" he asked.

"Ah… kind of," I faked a smile and turned to drink my vodka.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" He grinned and looked at me with lustful eyes.

Yuck…

"Mm, no, and I'm not interested," I said immediately.

"Then do you want to sleep with me?" he said, still grinning like a fool.

"Not interested."

He stopped grinning, and his face changed.

"Hey, you should be grateful that I'm talking to you, you slut," he grabbed my wrist and pulled me from my chair.

"The heck? Let me go!" I shouted.

"I know you f***ing want this, you whore—ugh!!" Before I knew it, his body hit the cold floor.

People gasped when a tall man punched the guy in his ugly face.

I looked at him, the tall man, but what caught me was that his eyes were already on mine.

I gulped; he looked dangerous with his clenched jawline.

I stood frozen in my spot when he walked toward me, our eyes locked, not breaking contact for minutes.

"Are you okay?" Strangely, his voice was gentle, and his gaze softened when our bodies were just inches apart.

"A-ah! Yes! Thank you for helping me, mister!" I said, bowing to him, then looking at the ugly monkey still on the cold floor.

He looked a mess…

I looked around and noticed that the loud music had stopped, and people were gathering and whispering.

Sht!

The tall man grabbed my wrist and pulled me outside with him.

I think he noticed I was uncomfortable inside.

We stopped at the parking lot.

"Thank you once again… umm," He looked at me with his gray eyes, and it looked like he could swallow me any second.

I gulped again.

We just stood there, not saying anything, while our eyes were still locked. Seconds turned into minutes, and he still wasn't saying anything.

Freak! He is so handsome!

But this is so awkward, huhuhu…

"A-am… I'm Zoe," I said, but he still didn't speak.

"I should get going. Umm, thank you again," I was about to turn away when he spoke.

"Ralph." I turned To look at him, and his eyes were so focused on me.

"H-huh?"

"My name is Ralph." His voice was cold yet gentle to my ears.

"Okay...Ralph"
