Shehnaaz woke up slowly. The moment she saw the unfamiliar surroundings, she was so scared that sat up with a jerk.

Lifting the blanket, she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that she was still wearing her clothes.

After confirming that nothing had happened to her, she looked around the room.

The spacious room was decorated in a dark, simple, and mature style. It was a man's room.

Then why was she here?

All of last night's memories crept back, from attending a cocktail party to Byron being hit. She also remembered she met a fan named Aleyna.

Aleyna!

Her pupils suddenly shrank. She didn't remember what happened after drinking the glass of wine that Aleyna gave her.

"Sorry, Shehnaaz. I have no choice. If anyone, I hope you'll blame Hadley."

At that time, she seemed to have heard Aleyna say such a thing.

She was not sure whether Aleyna really said it.

If Hadley and the others wanted to harm her, why hadn't anything happened? Why was she here?

However, it was not the time to think about these things. What she should concern about right now was to connect with Sidharth and the others. They must be worried about her.

But where was she now?

After confirming her location, Shehnaaz turned back to the bedside to search for her phone.

She found nothing.

Her cell phone was not here.

She sat on the edge of the bed in frustration and scratched her hair irritably.

She wanted to call Sidharth and tell him where she was, so that he could come and save her.

It would not work now.

What could she do....

She looked at the tightly shut door of the room and frowned, wondering who had brought her here? Would the person harm her just like Hadley?

Thinking of this, she was no longer calm. but panic.

If the person were like Hadley, she would be in a very dangerous situation.

She had to find a way out of here.

Just as she was contemplating how to get out of here, the door opened.

She vigilantly looked towards the door.

A tall and slender man walked in. When she saw the man's appearance, she was shocked and stood up,
