One Night Stand With That Beggar

Tortured

Felix Meyer tapped his feet as he waited impatiently downstairs. He saw his wife coming out in a hurry.

He quickly opened the door. "How did it go?"

Eudora George threw the stack of documents into his hands. "Felix, I can't do it. Go and find someone else!"

Felix's face darkened. "Eudora, are you f*cking joking with me? You were up there for so long and now you're telling me that you can't do it? Didn't you already memorise what to discuss about? Can't you do one simple thing right?"

"Oh... Did you think it's as simple as just negotiating for a contract? Then why don't you go to do it yourself?" Eudora retorted.

Felix glared at Eudora. "So what? It's not the first time you slept with someone anyway. Are you tossing my interests aside after you had your own fun?"

"Felix!" Eudora shouted harshly. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Nonsense? How dare you! Let's see how long you're able to continue pretending to be noble when in actual fact you're such a shameless woman!" He began tearing Eudora's clothes apart on the street.

Eudora struggled with all her might. Her defiance and rebellion drove Felix out of his mind.

Pa!

Eudora gave Felix a hard slap. "Felix, you are an animal!"

The slap was so hard that blood started dripping from the corner of his mouth. Felix licked the blood away with his tongue and sneered.

"Are you giving up on your family?"

The George family...

She promised her late mother that she would protect Everpeace Group with all her life. But if her mother were still here, would she have wanted her daughter to betray herself for the sake of the George family? She had already made a mistake once by marrying into the Meyer family, must she make another mistake again?

Felix smirked in content when Eudora lowered her head and did not say anything. He knew that her family was her weakness. He knew that threatening her with the George family would keep her obediently by his side.

But little did he know, she started chuckling eerily. "It's up to you what you want to do! Let's get a divorce!"

"What?" Felix was flabbergasted. "Are you out of your mind?"

"Whatever! It doesn't matter if you think that I'm out of my mind or what! I'm done with the George family! I don't care anymore. Let's get a divorce!"

After that, she turned around and prepared to leave.

"Don't even think about it!" Felix screamed

Felix grabbed her once again. "Even if you don't care about your family anymore, I won't get a divorce with you. You will still be my wife even after you are dead."

"Let go of me!" Eudora slapped Felix's hand away forcefully. "I won't go back with you."

But Felix's strength proved to be too much for her. He pulled Eudora and shoved her into the car before driving away.

......

Upon reaching the Meyers' residence, Felix dragged Eudora out of the car and threw her into their bedroom. He then locked the room from outside.

Laura Westin looked at her son in disgust. "I told you this woman is nothing but bad luck. She was already kicked out earlier, but you still want to keep her."

"It's none of your business. Keep the room key and don't let her come out."

Laura smiled at her son's comment. "My child, you finally understood what I was trying to say all these while. If it were up to me, I would just let her rot to death inside!"

Felix sneered. "I'm going to make her suffer alright. But to let her die this way? That's too easy for her!"

Eudora banged the door from the other side, "Let me out Felix!. You can't lock me inside! You're violating human rights and it's a crime to do so!"

Laura scoffed, "You are the daughter-in-law of the Meyer family, what rights are you talking about? Even if the king comes knocking on our door, we are not afraid!"

Laura used to live in the remote mountain villages and if it weren't for her successful son Felix, she would still be living in dirt. Despite her humble beginnings, she seemed to have forgotten where she came from and started treating others in condescension. Eudora cried her lungs out for help but no one came to her aid.

Eudora George was locked in the room for three whole days. She was only given a mouthful of water each day and not a single sliver of food.

On the third night, she was so hungry that she could hardly breathe.

The door was suddenly opened and Kesha George walked in.

She looked at Eudora's pathetic look and sneered. "Eudora, I heard from Brother-In-Law that you asked for a divorce. I didn't expect that you would try to cause such a big trouble?"

"What are you doing here?" Eudora clenched her teeth and glared at her sister.

"Do you think I really wanted to come? Father heard that you're asking for a divorce, so he sent me here to advise you."

'Heh! Advise me?' she thought. "Didn't you guys already sell Everpeace Group off? What use do I still have for you?"

"Now now don't say that Eudora. I mean, it would bode well for our family if we still have someone as successful as Felix as our son and brother-in-law yes? That way we will be able to live a better life too, don't you think so?"

It came to Eudora's realisation that her sister didn't come here to give her advice. Kesha just came here to laugh at her.

"If you don't have anything better to do, then get lost!" Eudora couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention to her.

"Don't be like that, Eudora!" Kesha responded wickedly, "Quite the contrary of what you think of me, I actually support you getting a divorce from him. What's the point of staying together if you don't love each other anymore, right? So you must persevere..."

"Kesha, what nonsense are you talking about to your sister?" Felix Meyer's voice came from behind her.

Kesha's expression immediately changed and she plastered an innocent smile on her face. "Brother-in-law, my sister is too stubborn. She is not listening to me!"

Felix sighed helplessly. "It would be great if your sister is as sensible as you."

Kesha looked at Felix. "Brother-in-law, you're so kind. I believe my sister will come to understand and appreciate your kindness."

"Okay!" Felix nodded. "You should go back first. I have something to talk to your sister."

Kesha shot Eudora a vicious glare and turned around reluctantly. "I shall take my leave then."

Eudora looked at this scene in front of her and sneered in her heart. Only a woman as superficial as Kesha would like a scum like Felix Meyer. They were a perfect match!

Felix closed the door behind him and walked over to help Eudora up. "Eudora, do you really want a divorce from me that much?"

Eudora refused to answer him. Her actions had clearly shown her intention.

"Okay!" Felix paused. "I can promise you that I will get a divorce with you. But as you know, the company is not doing very well right now. The project with Valiant East seems to be falling apart too. How could you leave at a difficult time like this?"

Eudora clenched her teeth. "What do you want?"

Felix thought for a moment and said, "Let's make a deal. And this is the only deal I will offer to you. I will let you go out and work the company. As long as you're able to make enough money to recover our losses, I'll let you go."

"What do you mean by 'recover our losses'? You ought to give me a figure."

Having gone through so much, Eudora would not be so stupid to blindly trust Felix again.

"Not much, just a few million dollars. As long as you help me secure a few big projects, I believe you will be able to earn that amount of money back, perhaps even more."

"In that case I want to put this on paper. I want to sign an agreement!" Eudora said.

"OK!" Felix agreed unexpectedly. He got up and went to the desk. He found a piece of paper and scribbled on it. He then handed the paper to Eudora. "Take a look. Is this okay?"

Eudora looked at it twice and after confirming that there were indeed no issues, she finally signed it.

"When do I start working?"

"Tomorrow morning."
