One Night Stand With That Beggar

A teenage boy who was seriously wounded was tied to an iron pillar in the middle of a pitch-black room with a chain.

A woman with a ferocious smile slowly took off his clothes, as if the boy was a specimen, waiting to be cut open on the chopping board. No one could see her face as she wore a mask.

The boy’s eyes were filled with hatred. He knew that he must escape from this place as soon as possible.

A petite yet courageous girl came out of the darkness and pushed the masked woman away forcefully. The masked woman was burning with anger. She took a belt and whipped her.

The girl’s cries echoed in the basement.

The woman got tired and left. The girl was barely recognizable as blood covered her face.

The boy looked at the girl anxiously, worried that she might die. She was lying lifelessly on the ground.

All of a sudden, the girl’s finger flickered as she looked up and smiled at him.

Her smile gave the boy strength. He felt that everything around him now was less scary.

The girl stumbled while he walked towards him. She was worried about the boy although she too was injured. “Are you okay?”

She tried to wipe off the blood on his face.

The boy instead bit on her arm.

His bite was very painful. It was as if he wanted to tear her flesh from her bones. The girl didn’t resist it though. She frowned and smiled at him. “It’s okay. We will definitely get out of here.”

Amos woke up from his dream. He could hear Eudora breathing soundly next to him.

The girl’s smile somehow made his heart stir in confusion. He got up and went to the balcony for a smoke.

It was already midnight but the city was still awake.

He would never return to somewhere as dark as that room again. But, the girl, whose smile was as bright as the sun, was buried there forever.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

His train of thoughts were interrupted when someone held him from his back. Her touch was gentle and comforting.

She whispered, “What’s the matter?”

“Nothing,” he answered.

“Liar!” She touched his frown. “You haven’t been so agitated for a while now.”

Her hands were cold. Amos looked down and saw her wearing nothing on her feet. His frown deepened. “It’s cold. Let’s go inside.”

She put her arms around his waist. “No. I won’t go in if you are going to stay out here.”

She was unusually flirtatious tonight.

Amos put out the cigarette and carried her in his arms. “You are the one who asked for it!”

“Huh?” Amos locked her on the window with his arms.

The next day was a weekend so both of them slept in.

As soon as Eudora woke up, her eyes met his.

“Get up. Let’s go shopping,” Amos exclaimed.

“Shopping?” Eudora looked at Amos unbelievably. “Did I hear it correctly? A man like you actually wants to go shopping?”

“You didn’t hear it wrong. Get up now,” Amos replied.

He stood up without further ado.

All women loved shopping, including Eudora. She quickly washed up as it had been a while since she last went to the mall.

The two of them went to the mall nearby.

Amos said, “I bought all the clothes in your wardrobe at home. You can buy what you like today, in case they don’t suit your taste.”

“I like all of them!” Eudora exclaimed.

Amos was a man of good taste. The clothes he chose were all very classy and suited her very well.

“Buy whatever you want to buy then!” Amos passed her a black card. “This is my supplementary card. It has no limit. You can buy whatever you want.”

“Tsk, tsk.” Eudora chuckled.

“Do you know who you look like now?”

“What?” Stunned, Amos asked.

“A bossy president! Haha! When I was young, I loved reading novels about bossy presidents. You look and sound just like them!” Eudora explained.

“You have my card now. Just buy whatever you want!” Amos avoided that topic.

Amos’ lips curled into a smile while he looked at her happy, contented face.

“I am a president!” He exclaimed, “But I will be your bossy president.”

Eudora beamed with joy. “Okay! This is what you promised. You can’t take back your words. If you do…”

How dare she threaten him!

“Are you going to beat me to death?”

“Of course not. That’s against the law. Instead, I’ll leave you without hesitation.”

“Then you will not be able to escape from me for the rest of your life!” Amos put his arms around her waist.

The two of them chatted in the car for a while before they entered the mall. Eudora did not buy any clothes, but she bought a number of items to decorate the house. She felt that the house in Clearwater Bay did not make her feel at home.

The theme colors of the house were black and grey. The house would be a lot better if she used warmer colors.

Eudora believed that the atmosphere in the house would improve significantly if she changed the decor.

Eudora’s legs were swollen after a day of shopping.

“Should we go back home?” Amos asked.

“Sure!” She narrowed her eyes as she yawned. She looked like she was going to fall asleep soon.

Amos pursed his lips and exclaimed, “That store is having a sale.”

Her eyes widened immediately. “Which one?”

Amos burst into laughter immediately and Eudora realized that she was tricked by him. She glared at him and questioned, “Are you laughing at me?”

“No, I just want to make you a little more energetic because we have to buy another thing. A very important one,” Amos answered.

“What is it?” Eudora was puzzled.

The man took her hand and walked towards a jewelry store.

“What are you doing?” Eudora grabbed Amos’ hand. “Everything here is so expensive. We bought almost everything we need.”

“It’s not for the house!” Amos laughed.

“We don’t need anything else,” she replied. Amos looked at her lovingly. She was acting like a housewife.

“Yes, we do. It’s for your birthday. I haven’t gotten you anything yet,” Amos explained.

Eudora was dragged to the store. They paused at one of the display cases. He pointed at the hugest diamond ring and asked, “How about this?”

Eudora was completely dumbfounded. “Are you going to buy me a ring?”

“Can’t I?” Amos asked.

“But… do you know what that means?” Eudora’s heart was beating violently inside her chest.

Amos turned around and looked at her earnestly. “Of course I do.”

“So are you…” Eudora stuttered.

“Eudora George, I promise you that I will love you forever. I will love you, through the difficult and the easy. For whatever may come, I promise that I will always be there for you. I will only love you. Do you believe me?” Amos vowed.

Tears welled up in her eyes. She was supposed to be elated. It was the first time Amos said such romantic words.

Amos panicked when he saw her teary eyes.

He quickly apologized, “I’m sorry. I’m not good at talking…”

Eudora smiled and teased, “Are you serious? You are so good!”

“So, does that mean ‘I do’?” He asked with a smile. He knew that she was going to say yes.

“No, I don’t!” Eudora turned around. “I can’t feel your sincerity! If you really want to marry me, come to my birthday and fly a kite with me!”
