My Second Husband novel Chapter 74

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.

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.
