Chapter 17
Amos Granger owned a suite in the upper floors of the hotel. He entered the room and threw the woman on the bed. He lit up a cigarette next to the bed and stared at her lifeless being. Eudora George stirred on the bed, the effects of the drug making her restless and fidgety. Under the dim lighting in the suite, her pair of glistening eyes searched the room lazily.
Amos remembered that wonderful night they spent together a month ago, how she moaned in pleasure when their bodies were passionately locked in each other's.
He was never a gentleman. He had never played by the rules. He knew he could have gotten her if he played dirty, but seeing her denying him with such determination, he couldn't help but to reconsider his actions.
If only she knew that he had been waiting for her all these time.
Amos closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Have you figured it out?"
The familiar voice snapped Eudora back to her senses. She struggled to sit up and looked at Amos alarmingly. "How did you..."
"Who were you expecting?"
Amos' voice was deep and laced in anger.
"How could you be fine with any men?" Eudora's heart tightened. She knew that in his eyes, she was nothing but a shameless woman. "Sorry to have troubled you. I will leave now."
Eudora got up and stumbled out of bed. Amos grabbed her. "Where do you think you are going? In your current state no less?"
"It's none of your business!" Eudora struggled to push his hand away.
"Silly woman!" Amos clenched his teeth, "You were drugged. Were you just going to do it with any man you find in the streets if the effects of the drug doesn't wear off?"
Eudora's heart was filled with sadness. "Mr. Granger, why are you acting like you're my knight in shining armor? Weren't you thinking of the same thing too?"
Amos fell silent. The smoke from the cigarette in his hand blurred his expression, making it hard for her to decipher his thoughts.
A moment later, he put out the cigarette and sat back on the sofa. He chuckled, "Yes, you are right, I admit it. What I said a month ago is still valid. As long as you become my woman, no one will dare to bully you again!"
Eudora pursed her lips and shook her head firmly. "Then my answer is still the same, Mr. Granger. I will not be your woman!"
Amos blinked at her.
"I thought that after a month, you would have realized that Felix Meyer does not suit you."
"Yes, I agree that he doesn't suit me. But Mr. Granger, do you think you are suitable for me then?" Eudora smiled wryly. "If I'm with him, I'm just a nominal wife who had been abandoned by her husband. On the other hand, if I become your woman, I'm just going to be one of your hidden lovers. They are both not honorable identities. I'm really tired. I don't want to live my life in this way anymore."
Her answer made Amos raise his eyebrows slightly. This woman is interesting.
The effects of the drug started to relapse, this time even stronger than before. Eudora knew that she was almost at her limit. She staggered and tried to make her way to the door. When she walked past Amos, a pair of big hands pulled her in.
His voice grew deeper and he spoke seductively, "Do you want to do it?"
Eudora shivered, and her body was against her wills. She tried to speak, but her throat was dry and her voice was hoarse.
