Chapter 9. Turn Back Time

If only I could turn back time to that night and change what occurred, I would, a million times over. But it's too late now. Far too late.

Waking up from a nightmare is bad enough, but waking up next to a stranger and discovering you're now married is far beyond what I imagined. Especially when you realize something happened between the two of you.

"How did this happen? I didn't... what... What did I do? Damn!" I kept whispering to myself.

The frustration was overpowering because I had no memory of what happened. I glanced again at the man beside me, feeling a surge of panic. I closed my eyes tightly and hastily got dressed, gathering my belongings, though I still felt weak throughout.

I rushed out of that hotel and hailed a taxi to take me home. I had no idea how to feel about it all. Nervousness and confusion gnawed at my chest. I couldn't remember a thing. The last memory I had was Riley pouring alcohol into my mouth. After that, it was all a foggy haze.
