Unexpectedly Sweet Flash Marriage

Chapter 1 Did I Hurt You Last Night?

Chapter 1 Did I Hurt You Last Night?

Adeline Burton had no idea her future mother-in-law would put her in another man's bed after her fiancé had just left for a business trip!

She thought the world was so unfair.

Despite being overwhelmed by intense hatred and losing her strength, she gritted her teeth and tried to stand up.

She had just gotten to her feet when she heard a man's angry voice in the dark, silent room.

"Who the hell sent you here?"

Adeline opened her mouth to explain, but someone grabbed her wrist before she could. The man who just spoke yanked her from the bed.

Adeline landed hard on the floor.

"Get out of here!" the man's dreadfully distant voice came above her head.

"I... I can't... I can't get up..."

Adeline tried hard to defend herself, but she ended up making a kitten purring sound, giving the impression that she was trying to seduce him on purpose.

Hearing this made her feel worse about herself than she already was.

She was surprised to feel a breeze the next second. The man wrapped his hands around her arm out of excitement.

"It's you!" His tone was ecstatic, and he appeared pleasantly surprised.

"No! I'm not... Ah..."

He leaned in and kissed Adeline passionately before she could finish her sentence. She could taste the man's dominant masculine scent and a faint taste of tobacco on his lips.

He quickly climbed on top of her, his muscular body dominating hers with every move.

Adeline struggled desperately, but the man held her even tighter as if trying to squeeze every last drop of air from her lungs.

Adeline was made to go through it all.

She had no idea when the never-ending nights of agony would end.

She realized it didn't matter much that she narrowly avoided being molested by her student's father in the afternoon.

The situation was still the same for her.

She felt a slight ache in her shoulder.

The man bit her hard and mumbled, "Stay focused."

The sex became more intense after that, leaving Adeline no time to think about what was happening. She was helpless as she was led into orgasm by the man's rhythm in the pitch black.

...

Adeline awoke the next morning fully clothed, making her feel better about herself.

She jolted awake at the memory of last night's events, and the next thing she knew, she was staring directly at the man sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

She couldn't see the man's features because he was facing away from the window. His skin was so pale that it looked sickly to her, and all she could see was the outline of his face. The gold-rimmed glasses he wore gave him the air of a sophisticated poet.

He was sitting very gracefully. He was approaching her in a wheelchair, but he still carried himself with the dignity of a nobleman.

Adeline gasped and exclaimed, "Uncle.... Uncle Curtis!" when she recognized the man.

She took a few deep breaths and shook violently when she saw the man in front of her and realized the truth.

Last night, she was nearly molested by the father of one of her students. She smashed the man's head in self-defense and came here to find her fiancé, Logan Riley.

Logan had his mother, Victoria Riley, look after her because he was hurrying to leave on a business trip.

Adeline drank the milk her future mother-in-law gave her and ended up in Logan's uncle Curtis Riley's bed, who lost almost everything after a car accident.

She was perplexed about why she had slept with Logan's uncle Curtis last night!

Adeline was so ashamed and angry that she wished to vanish from the planet.

"I will be held responsible for what happened last night." Curtis arrived in his wheelchair at her side. His voice was as soothing as a gentle breeze.

His face was determined, and his words were genuine.

Adeline's body suddenly went still. Curtis was hiding his mouth and coughing softly when she looked up, giving the impression that he was in a deep state of depression.

He then smiled to himself and said, "Assuming, of course, that you don't mind me being disabled. We can go get married today if you want."

"Get married?" Adeline asked in surprise.

Yesterday, she was desperate to get married because her family could no longer use their dirty tricks to set her up that way.

She rushed to Logan's house yesterday because she was eager to marry him.

On the other hand, Logan declined her advances because he thought she was exaggerating the situation.

Adeline had no idea Curtis would say he wanted to marry her so quickly.

"I..." muttered Adeline, clenching her teeth.

Getting away from her family was enough to make her consider saying yes, regardless of the circumstances.

She shook her head in disbelief as her senses returned to normal.

"No way! I can't do something like that! This man is none other than the uncle of my fiance!" She thought to herself.

Plus, the man was Curtis, infamous for his brutality and cruel tricks, and was said to wield power in Sawell, the capital city.

She was hesitant to marry someone who had been through so much.

Curtis didn't seem surprised when Adeline shook her head. He grinned to himself, his face morbidly white. He then coughed twice more, looking as if he were dying.

"Don't worry. I get it. Why would anyone want to spend the rest of their life with someone as handicapped as me?"

Adeline's body suddenly went still.

Hearing that made her feel bad for Curtis, but all she wanted to do was escape the awkward situation. She said, "Uncle Curtis, I'd better go..." with hesitation.

As soon as Adeline finished speaking, she got up anxiously, but the next thing she knew, her legs began shaking. After that, she fell forward.

Curtis made a gentle frown. He pushed his wheelchair forward to her side, then cradled her in his arms.

Curtis could feel her sweet smell as their warm bodies rubbed together. He gulped as he remembered how nice she tasted last night.

Adeline's face was close to Curtis' heart. She felt humiliated as she listened to his rapid heartbeat.

She attempted to stand, but the numbness in her legs prevented her from doing so.

Curtis asked gently, "Did I hurt you last night?"

Adeline's face flushed instantly like a ripe apple. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

She was overcome with remorse.

She experienced something completely strange to her: a fleeting feeling of security.

The sensation made her feel safe, but then she wanted to ask herself, "What the hell are you thinking?"

"Hey! Stop thinking about that! He's Logan's uncle, for God's sake!" She thought to herself.

Adeline felt so humiliated that she wanted to disappear from Earth once more.

Curtis gently grabbed her wrist and asked, "Was I too rough on you last night?" He didn't seem to notice her blushing.

Adeline shook off his hand in disbelief. She was at a loss whether she should nod or shake her head in response.

"I'm sorry..." Curtis apologized sincerely.

Incredulous, Adeline raised her head to meet Curtis's honest gaze.

She saw that Curtis wasn't quite the cruel man she'd heard rumors about.

The next second, however, Curtis apologized to her for his behavior, saying, "I'm sorry for how I acted in bed last night. I'm not very good at..."

Adeline's face flushed quickly once more.

She had no idea what she was doing or why she and her fiancé's uncle were discussing his performance from the night before in bed.

Curtis softly smiled as he observed her drooping head.

Someone knocked loudly on the door, making it almost shake from the pounding.

"Curtis! Open the door!"

"Curtis, you monster! Hurry up and give my daughter-in-law back to me!"

Adeline's face went ashen at the sound of the yelling at the door.

The person at the door was Logan's mother and her mother-in-law-to-be, Victoria!

"Curtis! I'll break the door if you don't let me in!"

Victoria then banged on the door hard again. Adeline was so panicked that she forgot that it was her mother-in-law-to-be who had put her in Curtis' bed.

A warm palm wrapped tightly around Adeline's hand at that precise moment and held her hand, providing a sense of security she rarely felt.

"Don't be afraid. Just blame it all on me."

He slowly wheeled himself to the bedside and straightened up the messy bed.

His expression became grave as he reached out and touched the blood stain on the bed. He then quietly covered the blood with the quilt.

Adeline was sad as she watched Curtis make up the bed behind her.

She had no idea that Curtis would be the one to keep her decency this time.

Victoria slammed on the door and burst in the next second.
